LONDON (Reuters) - George W. Bush was the U.S. President, the Beijing Olympics were months away and Lehman Brothers was still solvent when Warren Gatland unveiled his debut coaching selection for Wales in the 2008 Six Nations against England.

The New Zealander's side produced a shock 26-19 victory to beat England at home for the first time in 20 years, powered by the boot of James Hook, and Gatland's Wales have been upsetting opponents in both senses of the word ever since.
