Gatland confirmed there is no release clause in his contract that kicks in after the 6N or any clause at all.
You couldn't make this **** up.
That, along with the fact he seems defiant now and saying he's not resigning this is a big problem. I'd still like to see Gatland moved upstairs. ****, as this point I'd be over the moon if we sacked Nigel Walker and replaced him with Gats. I think Gats' ego would get in the way, though.
Maybe it's all bluster on Gatlands part and he's just playing some mind games with the WRU. You'd think 50 odd thousand turning up to watch another 50 plus point loss will surely force their hand, though. Break clause or no break clause.

To be fair it's been coming for a while. Getting to this point was clearly avoidable but the general malaise of Welsh rugby less so.
