Warren Gatland's faith in fitness first turns porkies into heroes - Times Online
On the Sunday, when Wales should have been travelling on to Marseilles, Roger Lewis, the energetic group chief executive of the WRU, fired Gareth Jenkins, the head coach, and soon after led a team to the southern hemisphere to find a replacement. Other achievements by Gatland in this period included getting Rob Howley to become the team’s backs coach and retaining Neil Jenkins as the kicking coach, which seemed to have paid off when Wales landed 21 out of 21 kicks in their first three games. The Wales players were acquiring huge respect too for Edwards, nominally the defence coach but also the heartbeat of the team with his unsmiling demeanour and will to win, underpinned by humanity. Gatland had made no secret of the fact that he considered some players to be tubby and the entire team not to be strong or fit enough and in mid-February, the week before the game against Italy, Paul Stridgeon, a former wrestler and fitness coach at Warrington Wolves, was brought in to give Wales a beasting in the gym. Fitness also told when Wales played one quarter of the triple crown decider against Ireland with 14 men and it was needed for every one of the first 60 minutes against France.
