Rob Howley Leaves Wales Coaching Staff Amid 14-Game Defeat Streak

Rob Howley will not be part of Wales' coaching staff for the remainder of the Six Nations following the departure of head coach Warren Gatland, who left by mutual agreement after a record 14 consecutive Test defeats. Cardiff coach Matt Sherratt has been appointed as interim head coach and has called up three players: Gareth Anscombe, Max Llewellyn, and Jarrod Evans, while losing Liam Williams and Owen Watkin to injuries. Howley, a long-time assistant during Gatland's tenure, remains under contract despite stepping away from the current setup. Wales is facing a challenging situation as they prepare for matches against Ireland, Scotland, and England, having started the tournament with losses to France and Italy. The team aims to avoid another disappointing finish after last year's bottom position in the Six Nations. Sherratt's immediate priorities include addressing the squad's fly-half options and managing injuries as the tournament progresses.
