Warren Gatland says he is "under no illusions what the expectations are" after signing on for a second coaching stint with Wales to mastermind next year's Six Nations and World Cup campaigns.

And the 59-year-old New Zealander also delivered a short response to questions about speculation linking him with England's top job, adding: "Don't believe everything you read in newspapers".

A Rugby Football Union review is currently assessing England's poor Autumn Nations Series amid uncertainty surrounding head coach Eddie Jones' future.

A decision on whether Jones goes or stays is likely in the next 48 hours, but Gatland has committed to Wales. He replaces Wayne Pivac as head coach, with the Welsh Rugby Union confirming Pivac's departure following their review of Wales' autumn series that included a home defeat against Georgia.
