Warren Gatland Committed Amid Record Losing Streak

Warren Gatland remains determined to continue as head coach of Wales despite a record 11 consecutive Test match defeats, a streak that could see Wales finish the year winless for the first time since 1937. As Wales prepares to face world champions South Africa, Gatland acknowledged the immense pressure but emphasized the need for patience with a young squad. He confirmed he has no break clause in his contract and is committed to the role, stating he would consider resigning only if it benefits Welsh rugby. Gatland's tenure has seen Wales drop out of the top 10 world rankings, with only six wins in 23 Tests since his return in late 2022. He expressed pride in his past achievements with Wales but recognized the current challenges, stating he will respect any decisions regarding his future. Gatland's leadership is now under scrutiny as the team seeks to overcome its poor form.
