Warren Gatland allowed Suntory Sungoliath coaches access to his Wales team camp without knowing Eddie Jones still worked for the club as a consultant.
Wales coach Warren Gatland is reportedly furious at confirmation England counterpart Eddie Jones is still working as a consultant for a Japanese club.
Jones- contracted to England until 2021 - still assists Suntory Sungoliath, who want to appoint him as their director of rugby after the Rugby World Cup tournament.
England's Rugby Football Union has no issue with Jones' Japanese gig, but it appears Gatland does.

Eddie Jones has maintained his links to Japanese club Suntory Sungoliath since taking the England coaching job in 2015.
Gatland - who will coach the Chiefs for the next four years and also coach the British and Irish Lions to South Africa in 2021 - was not aware that Jones still had links with Sungoliath until it was revealed last week.
"Coaches from the Japanese outfit spent a week embedded in the camp, observing different coaching techniques and will have been privy to tactical details Wales were using to prepare for games," the report said.
"WalesOnline understands Gatland is deeply annoyed with the Japanese club for not informing Wales of their close relationship with Jones prior to their behind the scenes visits."
The report said there was "no evidence to suggest that there have been any underhand tactics utilised by Jones".
"But there could now be concerns among the Wales hierarchy that information gathered could potentially be used against them at the World Cup later this year."
