Warren Gatland to have surgery after double heel injury

Help

Wales rugby coach Warren Gatland must have surgery after breaking both his heels in an accident in New Zealand.

However, he will be available to take charge of Wales' three-Test tour to Australia in June after guiding Wales to a second Six Nations Grand Slam last month.

Gatland, 48, is likely to coach the 2013 British and Irish Lions' tour to Australia.

The Welsh Rugby Union said Gatland would require surgery "to reconstruct his right heel".
