MATT SHERRATT ADMITTED he “couldn’t turn down” the chance to coach Wales after being appointed as Warren Gatland ’s immediate successor.
Gatland has left his position as head coach by mutual agreement following a record run of 14 successive Test match defeats. Gatland is the first Wales head coach to leave midway through a Six Nations campaign since Mike Ruddock resigned in 2006. “I was sat on my sofa at eight o’clock last night and Huw’s name came up on my phone. I can’t repeat what I said when I saw his name come up.
“There will probably be a couple of mistakes along the way. I am learning. But it’s not something I will be putting my name forward for. Sherratt, who said he will be “on YouTube tomorrow” learning the Welsh national anthem, will report for Wales squad duty next Monday after taking charge of Cardiff’s United Rugby Championship game against Connacht two days earlier.
