Sack Gazza

Passionate Welsh Rugby Supporters have started up a new GoFundMe campaign to raise the £2 million needed so they can sack Warren Gatland.

Any money they raise over the £2 million will go towards opening more Gregg’s locations in Wales as you can never have too many Sausage Rolls or Steak Bakes.

Wales Online
Warren Gatland is set to leave his position as Wales head coach with immediate effect.

The WRU board decided to grant Gatland a stay of execution at the end of 2024, a year in which Wales failed to win a single Test match. He was challenged to turn around Wales' ailing fortunes in the Six Nations before another review at the end of the Championship.

But Wales have made a disastrous start to their Six Nations with defeats against France and Italy, respectively. Gatland is contracted until the 2027 Rugby World Cup but there is a break clause in his contract this summer.
The WRU have now decided to put the Wales boss on gardening leave and he is set to be removed as head coach, with official confirmation expected today. The WRU have already began searching for his long-term replacement with Franco Smith, Simon Easterby and Michael Cheika among the contenders.
Eddie Jones has been seen at a Welsh training session!

@TheSirfurryanimalWales Eddie Jones might put up his hand. Jones is a Welsh name you couldn't go wrong.

@KiwiBird we need someone for the last three games.
New coach will start with Japan in the Summer.

They got their wish.

It wasn't working and he's looked lost and defeated in interviews since the WC.

However, Welsh rugby has much deeper problems: Lack of money, and a very weak generation of players amongst them.

Weirdly, their current struggles illustrate how much Wales over-achieved with Gatland in his first spell.

@Burnley123 @KiwiBird nothing will change in the short term but on the basis the new coach will have a largely full squad( can't
see many Welsh players in the Lions squad) to take to Japan getting two wins there will be a start.
We did lose there during a previous Lions tour when a lot of players were with the lions.
We do need to allow our players to play anywhere without penalty though.
They are actually better off going to play in France or England or even down under.
And when Major League rugby gets properly established even America.It's not great at the moment but money talks!
We are playing the penalty,finally,for allowing David Moffat to destroy Welsh rugby history 22 years ago.
You only have to look at how the Under 20 side are performing to see the future is not bright.
But many of those are outstanding in semi-pro club rugby.
Perhaps the WRU need to bite the bullet and turn back the clock!

@TheSirfurryanimalWales You can't go back to the pre-regional game. In the pro era, that won't work.

I agree Wales need to abolish the foreign based player rule. Even England and New Zealand are struggling to hold their best players.

The French league is financially dominant and that is just the reality.

Where can I sign up? 🤨 Any minimum fund or do they only accept donations over £100?

@KiwiBird that would make NZD219.14 at the current rate of exchange if I invest GBP100. Am I tax exempted for that?

KiwiBird · 36-40, F

@Stephie That's about right 45P. Why do you think it would be taxable. It's not the USA.

Stephie · F

@KiwiBird Not YET the USA. Have no illusions, it will be soon... 🥴

Warren is apparently being lined up by Sky Sports(UK) as a pundit for the Lions Tour.
