Six Nations: Ex-teacher Matt Sherratt asked to improve Wales’ grades
Sherratt’s background is very different from his ex. Gatland was a former black Hooker who was one of the world rugby players in the 21st century and has been involved in international competitions for more than 25 years.
The New Zealander even named him after his first successful success in charge of Wales.
Sherratt’s route in the current role is even more modest. He was born in Gloucester with his Welsh mother but never played at the highest level.
Sherratt was nicknamed “Jockey” for his short stature, so he worked as an elementary school teacher before becoming a development officer for the Rugby League (RFU).
He worked at Worcester Warriors Academy and then graduated from Bristol Bears offensive coach, who said he learned a lot from former England and Scotland boss Andy Robinson, who was a former England and Scotland boss. .
Prior to his post at Cardiff and Ospreys, he was appointed as the first permanent head coach of his career in Arms Park in the 2023-24 season.
It was a baptized fire, and Sherratt started his first preseason with only eight players as financial problems with Welsh Rugby Bit. Therefore, he is used to adversity and handling crisis situations.
“I’m a teacher and my subject is rugby,” said Serrat.
“I can’t see any difference either internationally or clubs.
“I’ve had a long journey in elementary school teaching, with community rugby coaches offering tagged rugby classes around the school, from college to senior, and then international.
“I’m proud of it. When you first started, you were worried that you weren’t a name or a former player.
“I’ve been in for a long enough time to see what professional football is about and what, but I also have a teaching background to get back to its original state, especially where you have to read the room.”
