Warren Gatland Faces Pressure After 11th Loss

Wales rugby coach Warren Gatland faces immense pressure after the national team recorded its 11th consecutive Test match defeat, a record low, following a 52-20 loss to Australia. Critics, including former WRU chief executive David Moffett, have called for Gatland's resignation, claiming that his leadership has been ineffective and that Welsh rugby is in a severe crisis. Gatland himself has expressed a willingness to step down if it would benefit the team, admitting uncertainty about his future after discussions with WRU officials. The team has not won an international match in over 13 months and currently sits at 11th in the world rankings. Former players argue that other nations would have already dismissed a coach under similar circumstances, noting Gatland's past successes as the reason for his continued tenure. With matches against South Africa and France looming, the stakes are particularly high for Gatland and Welsh rugby.
