    Shaun Edwards was appointed Wales defence coach in 2008

    Shaun Edwards has missed Wales’ final 2011 Six Nations trip to France after the defence coach was suspended by his employers the Welsh Rugby Union.

    Edwards was disciplined and suspended for a week by the WRU following an alleged incident with a colleague.

    The 44-year-old is said to have had a confrontation with another member of Wales’ backroom staff.

    Questioned by BBC Sport on Saturday, Wales coach Warren Gatland said “This is an internal matter, full stop.”

    A Welsh Rugby Union source confirmed to Press Association Sport that Wasps head coach Edwards would be back with the Wales fold ahead of their next game against the Barbarians in Cardiff on 4 June.
