An expected Springbok victory over Wales this weekend is widely predicted to precede Warren Gatland receiving the axe.
Will Springboks end Gatland’s Wales career?A strong Springbok side is widely expected to clinch a comprehensive win over Wales this weekend, which would be their 12 consecutive Test defeat.
If Wales suffer a heavy defeat on Saturday, it’s likely that the WRU will have little option but to bid farewell to Gatland, who has conceded he would be at peace with whatever decision is deemed best for the national team. “We could surprise people because not much is expected of us,” he added. “Sometimes, that helps you to loosen the shackles and play with more freedom.”
“I know the record of losing 11 on the trot is obviously not great whenever we play a team that’s backs against the wall… we take ourselves back, just before I took over in 2017, I think we lost 57-0 in New Zealand.Erasmus added: “I just know Warren is a great coach and I know they’ve got great players. It’s not clicking quite there. He is a guy who has fixed things before.
