Warren Gatland Retained as Wales Rugby Coach Despite Record Losing Streak

The Welsh Rugby Union backs Gatland for the 2025 Six Nations but warns that results must improve after a winless year.

Warren Gatland will remain as Wales' head coach for the 2025 Six Nations, despite the team's record 12-match losing streak in 2024.
The Welsh Rugby Union conducted a review of the team’s performance, ultimately deciding to challenge Gatland to reverse Wales’ fortunes on the field.
WRU Chief Executive Abi Tierney acknowledged that Gatland’s position was under scrutiny and emphasized that future performance will determine his job security.
Nigel Walker, WRU Executive Director of Rugby, has resigned in response to the team’s poor results, ending his tenure that began in 2021.
Wales will face a challenging Six Nations schedule starting with an away match against France on January 31, followed by games against Italy, Ireland, Scotland, and England.
