|November 10, 2024
Warren Gatland has insisted that he is "relishing the pressure", even though Wales are on the brink of equalling their all-time record losing streak ahead of their November opener against Fiji in Cardiff on Nov 10.

"Every loss is a bind. But the bind is the pressure you guys (media) put on, not the pressure we have internally," Gatland said on Nov 8 after naming his team to play Fiji.
