Gatland has outlined what he expects from Lloyd this weekend.

“He’s still learning the position,” said Gatland. “He’s been working hard on his kicking game and strategy with Neil Jenkins.

“That’s one area he was OK at when he came on, but it’s a big area of improvement. We can see what a quality footballer and running threat he is.”

Lloyd has proved versatile in his young career and played across the backline.

“For him, it’s about nailing down a couple of positions,” said Gatland.

“Whether that’s 10 or 15, I’m not too sure. We’re not trying to put him under any pressure.

“I think if he can build on what he did last week… he probably realises there’s less space and not so many opportunities as a running threat at Test level.

“It maybe only happens once or twice a half. His game management is pretty important.

“Also, his communication with his outside backs and forwards, scanning and seeing what options are on. He’s still very young in terms of experience, particularly at 10.

“It’s his first start there in international rugby. Hopefully he continues to grow and goes well.”

Wales have training indoors this week with their pitch at the Vale of Glamorgan hotel base being practically ‘unusable’ after rainfall.

Gatland’s side trained in the indoor training barn on Thursday, while they’d also prepared at the enclosed Principality Stadium earlier in the week.

“We were going to train outside today, but the pitch was probably unusable at the moment,” said Gatland. “There was puddles of water everywhere.

“We contacted the stadium about using that, but we couldn’t get into that. We have looked at the weather forecast. You’ve got to play in all sorts of conditions.”
