Warren Gatland is set to leave his role as Wales head coach with immediate effect – midway through their Six Nations campaign.
Wales are currently on a horrific run of 14 successive Test match defeats – with their defeat to Italy last weekend the final nail in the coffin for Gatland.
Wales face Ireland on 22 February in Cardiff, then travel to Scotland on 8 March before finishing the Six Nations at home against England on 15 March.
The current team are statistically the worst Wales side in their 144-year international rugby history.
Several names have been reported as potential successors, including former Wallabies boss Michael Cheika, Glasgow Warriors head coach Franco Smith, and Ireland interim boss Simon Easterby.
