Warren Gatland is set to leave his position as Wales head coach after suffering their record-extending 14th straight defeat to Italy in the Six Nations at the weekend.
After their 43-0 drubbing at the hands of France in round one, Saturday’s 22-15 defeat in Rome – Wales first defeat on Italian soil in 18 years – brought the prospect of successive Six Nations wooden spoons into sharp focus.
Wales have now dropped to a new low of 12th in the World Rugby rankings, a place below Georgia, after an eighth Six Nations loss on the bounce.

With matches against Ireland, Scotland and England to follow, the Welsh Rugby Union are now ready to part ways with Gatland in a bid to salvage something from their Six Nations campaign.
The New Zealander has overseen just six victories in 26 Tests since returning for a second stint in charge.
