(Reuters) - Warren Gatland will remain as Wales head coach for the 2025 Six Nations, despite a challenging period of results, the Welsh Rugby Union announced on Friday.

The 61-year-old has overseen the worst run in Wales' 143-year international rugby history, with a record 12 consecutive test match defeats.
