MELBOURNE (Reuters) - New South Wales Waratahs coach Daryl Gibson has conceded his future at the Super Rugby club is under the microscope in the wake of the Sydney side's embarrassing capitulation against the struggling Southern Kings on Friday.

The Waratahs stormed to a 17-0 lead in the first half at Sydney Football Stadium before rolling over after the break to lose 26-24 to one of the two South African teams expected to be axed from the tournament next season.
