Gatland would accept sacking amid losing run

Warren Gatland insisted he still had the fight to continue as Wales coach, but would back any change after his team crashed to a record nth consecutive Test defeat in a 52-20 rout by Australia in Cardiff on Nov 17.

When asked whether he still wanted to be involved, having seen Wales lose 17 of the 23 Tests he has been in charge of in his second stint as coach, the 61-year-old said: "Absolutely. This is challenging at the moment. I'm only human, so I ask myself if it's the right thing to do. But I'm happy doing it."

Turning to his future, with a six-day turnaround before Wales face a daunting fixture against back-toback world champions South Africa, Gatland said: "I don't know..

"Whatever the best decision for us to make a change, to get some positivity in the game, you know, I'd support that 100 per cent, so if that means me, then I'm comfortable."

He admitted Wales were not up to scratch against the Wallabies.
