Rugby Union: Wales's Gat-trick heroes have the look of champs

The Gatfather, as European papers are calling Wales coach Warren Gatland, has already helped his rejuvenated Welsh team to a solid 'Gat-trick'.

Their famous victory over England at Twickenham has proved to be no fluke, with a solid dismantling of Scotland, followed up by a strong second half to annihilate Italy – a team much stronger than the 47-8 score line suggests.

This was done after Gatland changed his entire front row and both halves with a now famous challenge “not to make him look stupid”.

Indeed, few countries could lay claim to having a double scrum-half and fly-half combination of such class. Dwayne Peel and Stephen Jones were immaculate against Italy, with the class of Jones's boot being a deciding factor amongst the teams.
