Howley hopes to see Gatland join tour

Wales caretaker head coach Rob Howley remains hopeful Warren Gatland will be able to join the squad at some stage of their three-Test tour of Australia.Head coach Gatland is recovering from the serious heel injuries he suffered in a fall at his holiday home in New Zealand in April, and Howley will take charge for the summer fixtures against the Barbarians and the Wallabies while he recuperates.That means the Kiwi, who has guided Wales to two RBS 6 Nations Grand Slams during his tenure, will have to sit and watch as Wales go looking for a first Test win over Australia Down Under since 1969.
