“My mission is to create the world’s most respected rugby coaching system that delivers coaches who are fit for purpose in sufficient numbers at all levels and delivers the right coach to the right place at the right time for the needs of every player at every stage of their development," he told the South Wales Echo.

“If we have more and better coaches across the spectrum we will ultimately ensure that more talented players progress along the development pathway which will ultimately deliver the best talent to the national squad.

“After all, the main aim is to ensure we get more players achieving their full potential to give the national coaches more choice in selection.

“We can move towards achieving that if we have excellent coaches at all levels.

“The strategy will also help us create coaches capable of competing at the top of the pyramid for the ultimate prize which is to coach Wales.

“I believe we already have a lot of very good coaches but we need more and we need enough to create a bigger pool of talented players.

“I already have a five year strategy plan in place and we are moving along the road in delivering the resources at levels one, two, three and four.”
