GAT TO HURT

A record 11th consecutive defeat for Wales and coach Warren has no idea on future

- GARY FITZGERALD

WARREN GATLAND resembled a man who knows his second spell in charge of Wales is about to end after this latest embarrassing eight-try thrashing by 14-man Australia.

And the shell-shocked Kiwi admitted he was unsure whether he would still be head coach when world champions South Africa visit Cardiff in five days time.

Gatland is preparing for more talks over his future with his WRU bosses having overseen just six Test wins in 23 games and having watched Wales sink to an all-time low in their 143-year history.

Boos greeted this latest loss from some disgruntled fans as they headed for the exits well before the end of this one-sided affair - a record 11th successive Test loss which leaves Welsh rugby in disarray.

To add saltto the wounds, Australia were in cruise control despite being without centre Samu Kerevi whose yellow card for a high hit on Jac Morgan in the 42nd minute was upgraded to red after review.
