Wales allow Jenkins to help Bath

Jenkins has a dual, cross-border role this season

Neil Jenkins will have a dual, cross-border role this season as kicking coach to Bath and Wales.

Bath have confirmed Jenkins is coaching their kickers once a week with Wales coach Warren Gatland's approval.

Bath head coach Steve Meehan told the Western Daily Press: "Neil comes to us every Tuesday, OKed by the Welsh Rugby Union and Warren Gatland."

This season Bath face Newport Gwent Dragons in the Heineken Cup and Cardiff Blues in the EDF Cup.

606: DEBATE
Revelations last season that the former world records points scorer had been helping out in his skill speciality caused a furore in Wales.

A Bath spokesperson confirmed Jenkins is contracted as their kicking coach until the end of this season.

No-one from the WRU was available to comment.
