Make Wales Great Again . . . Warren Gatland Needs Mandate From Autumn Series

Make Wales Great Again . . . Warren Gatland Needs Mandate From Autumn Series
Wales start their Autumn Nations Series campaign this weekend, but Sunday’s match against Fiji is unlikely to be the critical one. Granted, Warren Gatland’s team have not won for over a year and have slipped beneath the Fijians in the world rankings – to 11th, one place lower than the South Seas Islanders.
