Rob Howley agrees new Wales contract

Wales assistant coach Rob Howley extends his contract until the end of the 2015 World Cup.

Assistant coach Rob Howley has committed his future to Wales until the end of the 2015 Rugby Union World Cup.

The former scrum-half revealed that the amount of potential in the Dragons squad convinced him to extend his stay with the WRU.

"I have thoroughly enjoyed the time I have spent with the national team so far so I am delighted that work can now continue at least until 2016," said Howley.

"We have the right structures and systems in place, a team brimful of young talent alongside some valuable experience and a mouth watering fixture schedule.

"I am personally ambitious to become the best coach I possibly can be and it is fantastic for me to be able to continue to advance my skills here in Wales with the Welsh team."

The 41-year-old took over the coaching role in 2008.
