Former Wales scrumhalf Mike Phillips has questioned whether the WRU made the right call re-hiring Warren Gatland as head coach.
Former Wales scrumhalf Mike Phillips has questioned whether the Welsh Rugby Union made the right call re-hiring Warren Gatland as head coach.
Gatland returned to Wales this season after Wayne Pivac was axed following a disappointing 2022 campaign, but the former British & Irish Lions boss has not inspired much of a turnaround in results less than a year on. His comeback has been clouded by off-field drama, and has overseen just one win from four matches for the Welsh Dragons’ in the 2023 Six Nations.
Gatland, who took charge of two successful B&I Lions tours during his time with Wales, was in charge for three World Cups, reaching the semi-final stages on two occasions and took Wales to the top of World Rugby’s rankings – for the first time – by virtue of a record 14-match unbeaten run during his final season.
