There is no doubt that the experiences as a player and a coach -- that six to eight-week period with the Lions -- you come back and our (Wales) environment no doubt benefits from those experiences you have as a coach.And no doubt, that will happen post-2017, with Warren coming back.Howleys priority during the next 10 months will be Wales four-Test autumn series and then the RBS 6 Nations Championship, with an added significance of holding a strong world ranking position aheaad of next years 2019 World Cup pool draw.ddddddddddddWales found themselves in the same 2015 World Cup group as England and Australia, being handed a ferociously-tough draw on that occasion largely because they had slipped down the global standings.Team Wales comes first and foremost, Howley added. From a coaching, management and conditioning perspective, its about Wales for the next 10 months.I am so keen on our home record. In the last three-and-a-half years its about 70 per cent (success).In the next 10 months, we have got six home games, and you look at the world rankings and what is at stake for everyone involved, we want to better our home record. Its a huge carrot and motivation for the players.We need to improve our home record, and if we better that in terms of the 70 per cent, I am sure from a world rankings perspective, we will be in good shape.My role for the next 10 months from a Welsh perspective is that we are as successful as we can be, and thats the challenge.
