INTERNATIONAL RUGBY

Welsh supporters who will make their way to the Millenium Stadium for tomorrow's clash with South Africa could be excused for fearing the worst.

While the Springboks were celebrating World Cup victory for the second time the Dragons were left scratching their heads as to where it all went so wrong - Wales crashing out to Fiji in the group stages.

Former All Black and coach of Ireland Warren Gatland is due to take over at Wales before the start of the Six Nations campaign next year butbryan habana + wales.jpg tomorrow caretaker coach Nigel Davies will be in charge of a Welsh team hoping to catch South Africa suffering from a celebration hangover.

Interestingly it emerged this week that the Wales Rugby Union (WRU) approached South African coach Jake White to replace Gareth Jenkins when the Welshman was sacked from the top job in the wake of the World Cup exit.

White explained why he was put off taking the job saying " I saw a stat which said that Wales had 16 coaches in 21 years and that is not something that you want to be putting your hand up for."

Player of the year Bryan Habana (pictured left scoring a try against Wales) is expected to play in tommorrow's clash.
