• 'Whatever the best decision for Welsh rugby is'
• Team lost 11th straight match 52-20 to Australia

Warren Gatland said he was willing to step down as Wales coach after the team succumbed to a record 11th straight defeat. But the New Zealander also insisted he retained the drive to take the team forward and that he intended to fight on after Australia ran in eight tries at the Principality Stadium.

"Whatever the best decision for Welsh rugby is, I'm more than comfortable with that," Gatland said after Wales' 52-20 defeat. "There's so much negativity around the game, what's been happening on the field and regionally, financial and stuff. Whatever the best decision is for us – if it's to make a change to get some positivity in the game – I'd support that 100%. If that means me [leaving] I'm comfortable with that."
