(Reuters) - Wales coach Warren Gatland has had what he called "informal conversations" about leading the British & Irish Lions on their tour of South Africa in 2021.

Gatland, who will step down from his Wales role after this year's World Cup, coached the Lions on their two previous tours against Australia in 2013 and New Zealand four years later.
