Warren Gatland claims that following Wales’ miserable Six Nations loss to Italy in Cardiff, he offered to step down as coach. Wales’ winless campaign came to an end with the 24-21 loss at the Principality Stadium, as they suffered their first Wooden Spoon defeat since 2003.

After taking over the Wales role, Gatland has had a terrible Six Nations record. Since succeeding Wayne Pivac, who had similar losses to Georgia and Italy in 2022, Gatland has only won one of his ten Six Nations games, despite a stronger World Cup performance.

BELOW: Player ratings for Wales v. Italy; youthful stars not yet ready, but hope from the bench

Gatland disclosed that, following his first loss against the Azzurri as Wales coach, he had tendered his resignation to Abi Tierney, the new CEO of the Welsh Rugby Union, but it was turned down.

“Yes, absolutely,” Gatland responded when questioned if he intended to remain in the position until the 2027 World Cup in Australia. That is my pledge. I told Abi in the changing area, “I’m quite happy to resign if that’s what you want.” “That’s the last thing I want, that’s what I’m really afraid of,” she exclaimed. We will go away and carefully examine this, I can assure you of that. We will focus on areas that need improvement after having completed some evaluation work already.”
