Wales head coach Warren Gatland says he expects a change to be made after the Six Nations if his side continue their record losing streak.
Following an independent review, Welsh Rugby Union chief executive Abi Tierney said last month that Gatland's position had been "on the line" before announcing the New Zealander would remain in charge for the 2025 Six Nations.
Gatland says the January start means a tight turnaround given that the France game will come just two months after Wales' autumn series finished. "I've been pretty straight up about it, it's about rising to the challenge, making sure we go out there and perform well."He acknowledged that there was "no doubt it has been challenging" because his job is "all about performance and results".
Gatland's second spell in charge of Wales has contrasted to his first 12-year period at the helm, when the national side won three Grand Slams and four Six Nations titles and reached two World Cup semi-finals.
