Warren Gatland names the Wales star who has potential to be one of the all-time greats

Welsh coach Warren Gatland has named the players he has most enjoyed coaching in his career and why current captain Dafydd Jenkins can become a true great of the game.

At a fundraising event at Cefn Cribwr RFC, he took part in an Q&A session with the club’s president and former chief executive of the Welsh Rugby Union, Roger Lewis.

The Welsh coach also raised concerns over the negative impact social media can have and revealed that he and his team were “taking several measures to support Wales’ young squad.”

Over the last few years Cefn Cribwr RFC has raised £110,000 for local charities. The club is in good shape with over 140 children playing rugby, including a strong girls’ section. Having opened a new clubhouse a decade ago, it has also invested in new changing rooms, two pitches with drainage and flood lights.

Mr Lewis, who was raised in Cefn Cribwr and has been the club’s president since 2007, said: “Warren remains a good friend after 17 years of us first working together. His personal values and beliefs are rock solid and that he readily agreed to return to Cefn and to give up his precious time so freely to us all is so deeply touching. He is simply a bloody good bloke.”
