Three Six Nations bosses under pressure – and who could replace them

Three of the Six Nations bosses have been put under severe pressure following their sides disappointing displays during the 2022 tournament.

#1. Wayne Pivac – Wales

He insists he isn’t worried about a clamour for his head following Saturday’s shock defeat to Italy and says he is focused on dealing with the “improvements that need to happen.

“There’s no doubt about that and there’s no hiding from that. Albeit 60 seconds, we’re probably having a different conversation about a poor performance, but still a win.

“It’s fine margins, but we have to stay strong and believe in what we’re doing. This group does that and we believe in the players that we have. We’ll review this game and make sure the improvements that need to happen, happen.

“Everybody heads in different directions in terms of the players and for us it’s a matter of reviewing and staying focused, working on what we do.

“There are people in positions higher up than myself that make the decisions you’re alluding to. Look, I’m not bothered by that. It’s about doing what we think is the right thing for this group and today we believed in the squad we put out there.

“We didn’t play to our potential, we believe, so we have to find out why that was. Certainly, there was enough in a poor performance to have won this game three tries to nil.”
