Wales rugby bosses hope review into dismal run will be completed by Christmas

Welsh rugby bosses hope to complete before Christmas a review into Wales’ miserable Autumn Nations Series campaign that should shape whether Warren Gatland stays or leaves as head coach.

Gatland’s role is under intense scrutiny after world champions South Africa inflicted a 12th successive Test match defeat on Wales by winning 45-12 in Cardiff on Saturday.

It followed November losses to Fiji and Australia as Wales went an entire calendar year without winning a Test for the first time since 1937.
