Warburton went off in the 18th minute of Saturday’s 9-8 semifinal loss to France for a dangerous tip tackle on winger Vincent Clerc.
Wales had already lost prop Adam Jones to a calf injury when Warburton trudged off, and Gatland says “we discussed in the box, could we fake an injury to one of our props to go to uncontested scrums?“
Gatland says the idea was quickly dismissed because “that wasn’t the right thing to do.”
He reiterated Tuesday he still believes referee Alain Rolland made the wrong decision to send Warburton off.
