Six Nations 2025: Warren Gatland’s Wales hope for light through dark clouds
If he is a man who is worried about his future, Gatland will be relatively relaxed when he holds a press conference near Nice Airport.
Gatland refuted Biggar’s “biggame” comment. It’s a coach who prepares for Wales’ Grand Slam, six national deciders and two World Cup semi-finals.
Bigggar’s assessment is based on the consequences of another defeat, with the head coach acknowledging the importance of the game and Wales desperately hoping to win.
Gatland, named after him at the Private Stadium, continues to disagree in Wales.
Some point to his poor record since 2020, they believe his coaching approach is outdated and insists that changes are needed.
There are others who think he is still the one who turns the situation around and he is doing his best to master the quality.
His supporters are only feeling uncomfortable in Welsh rugby at the gates of the Welsh Rugby League (WRU).
Some also believe that Gatland and WRU must be responsible for their respective failures on and off the field.
After independent review, Gatland has gained a vote of confidence for six countries in 2025, despite his 11 calendar years.
Emotional music is that the New Zealanders are likely to move on at the end of the game unless there is a miraculous turnaround.
Whether it’s a victory or a defeat at Eternity this weekend will affect this potential situation, and it remains to be seen.
