Wales' coaching team are winners and Gatland, Shaun Edwards and Rob Howley have installed a new mentality, a new toughness that promotes dealing with, and excelling under, pressure, as they did - and Edwards still does - at Wasps.

Their never-say-die philosophy was epitomised by Howley's last-gasp try which won Gatland's Wasps the 2004 Heineken Cup final against Toulouse.
Gatland and Edwards inspired the Londoners to three English Premiership titles and a Heineken Cup in 2004, so they are not going to allow Wales' players to relax after just one successful season.
Wales are ranked fifth in the world and Gatland, a ruthless coach who demands high standards, will want his team to show why they are Europe's number one side. With his motivational skills and the experience within the squad, Wales are the team to beat.
