Warren Gatland to stand down as Wales coach ahead of Ireland Six Nations clash
Briefly

Warren Gatland's time as head coach of the Welsh Rugby Union is expected to end immediately following a historic 14-test match losing streak. This dismal run began after a World Cup quarter-final loss and continued through the Six Nations, where the team faced a heavy defeat to France and their first loss in Rome to Italy in 17 years. The WRU is required to appoint an interim head coach for the remaining fixtures, with names like Rob Howley and Franco Smith emerging as potential candidates for leadership.
Gatland's tenure with the Welsh Rugby Union is ending due to a record streak of 14 Test match defeats, culminating in poor Six Nations performances.
Wales' recent losses, including historic defeats in Rome and falling to a World Rugby ranking of 12th, prompted the WRU to reassess Gatland's situation.
