Wales head coach Warren Gatland continues to divide opinion, even among his former players.

The 61-year-old will not fall on his sword, but there is a feeling that we are witnessing the final weeks of a once mighty empire.

Former Wales stars Jamie Roberts and Dan Biggar described the performance in Rome as among the worst by Wales over the last two years .

Wales are now down to their lowest ever position in the world rankings.

They slipped to 12th place and for the first time fell below Georgia .

The significance of the rankings switch will not be lost on those in Tblisi who have been crying out for a chance to join the Six Nations .

Ex-Wales lock Andrew Coombs added: "It's the CEO of the business that has to make the decisions and Abi Tierney was not doing her job".
