Wales have turned to the Cardiff head coach Matt Sherratt as their short-term replacement for Warren Gatland, with the Englishman overseeing the side through to the end of the Six Nations.
Why Wales have turned to the Cardiff coach to replace Warren Gatland for the Six Nations The Englishman will step in for the remainder of the Six Nations after the mid-tournament axing of Gatland.
Though in his first full-time head coaching role, Sherratt has developed significant experience on either side of the Severn since embarking on his coaching career in 2005 as a development manager at England’s Rugby Football Union (RFU).
They take on Connacht on Saturday in Galway, with Sherratt taking charge of that fixture before arriving in Wales camp on Monday, just five days ahead of the clash with tournament favourites Ireland in Cardiff.
The 26-year-old has started the first two matches of the Six Nations at fly half but more regularly features at inside centre under Sherratt, wearing 10 just once at club level this season.
