Wales defence coach Shaun Edwards has defended Warren Gatland's decision to name two hookers in his Rugby World Cup squad.
Former England coach Sir Clive Woodward recently claimed that it was "so wrong" for both the Welsh and Australia not to include three hookers in their squads for the tournament.
However, Edwards is confident that Wales can manage with two players in that position once the World Cup gets underway later this month.
"Sir Clive is a fantastic coach and he is more than willing to express his opinion," he told Sky Sports News. "We can understand his opinion but Warren is confident that we can travel with two hookers and the Australian coaching staff must feel the same.
"Is it a gamble? Only time will tell, but you can replace players and the big advantage is that the World Cup is in the British Isles."
Wales play their final warm-up game on Saturday when they welcome Italy to Cardiff.
