Turner critical of Jenkins' role

Paul Turner is not happy with Neil Jenkins' coaching role at Bath

Dragons coach Paul Turner has criticised Neil Jenkins' dual coaching role with Wales and Bath.

Jenkins is coaching Bath's kickers one day a week with Wales coach Warren Gatland's approval.

But Turner believes Jenkins should be employed exclusively by the Welsh Rugby Union to coach Wales and the regions.

"We are shooting ourselves in the foot a little bit. If he has any work to do it should be with the regions," said Turner.

"If he's got time on his side then it should be spent with the people who employ him and with the people who pour money into the regions."

606: DEBATE
Jenkins' position is made more difficult that this season Bath face Newport Gwent Dragons in the Heineken Cup and Cardiff Blues in the EDF Cup.
