Warren Gatland to LEAVE Wales midway through Six Nations in rarely-seen move after worst losing streak in their history
@Source: thesun.ie
WARREN Gatland is set to depart his role as Wales rugby head coach just two games into their horror Six Nations campaign.
Wales are suffering from the worst run of form in their history after 14th consecutive defeats and have slumped to 12th in the rankings.
Gatland led Wales to another embarrassing defeat in the 22-15 Six Nations loss to Italy in Rome on Saturday.
Gatland and the WRU will now part ways mid-Championship, according to The Mail.
Wales fancied a first win in 14 games against Italy but went out on a limp and are favourites to wooden spoon for successive years.
The margin of defeat in Rome flattered Wales.
They bagged two late tries when Italy were thinking more about their lap of honour than seeing the game out.
Wales are closer to Brazil and Belgium in rugby’s world rankings, than to South Africa and New Zealand.
Second-tier nation Georgia climbed above them after a 40-7 win over Holland.
Gatland has now been in charge of Wales’ worst and best ever runs.
They actually won 14 in a row in 2017-19 and briefly topped the world rankings.
