CARDIFF (Reuters) - Wales coach Warren Gatland is confident this year's Six Nations will help him build a solid team for the 2019 World Cup in Japan after he used more than 30 players during the campaign.

Wales finished runners-up behind Ireland after beating France 14-13 in Saturday's finale, an "ugly win" but one that helped them finish ahead of Les Bleus and England.
