- Howley used WRU mobile and email to place online bets
- Ban relates to 363 bets over 45 months – some on Wales team
- Attack coach can return on 16 June with half of ban suspended
The former Wales attack coach, Rob Howley, has been banned from rugby union for 18 months for breaching betting rules – including placing some bets on his own team.
Howley, 48, was sent home from the Rugby World Cup in Japan days before Wales’ opening game after a bookmaker alerted the Welsh Rugby Union to a possible breach of betting rules.
