Lawrence Dallaglio believes key choices earlier than Warren Gatland’s second stint with Wales laid the foundations for the demise that adopted.

Gatland left his function as Wales head coach by mutual settlement on Tuesday, 72 hours after a crushing 22-15 loss towards Italy in Rome.

The defeat prolonged Wales’ report dropping run underneath Gatland to 14 matches, leaving them winless since beating Georgia through the 2023 World Cup and on target for successive Six Nations picket spoons.

In his first spell as Wales head coach between 2008 and 2019, Gatland presided over a era of Welsh expertise and masterminded 4 Six Nations titles, three Grand Slams, two World Cup semi-final appearances and a quick stint as world rugby’s quantity one-ranked nation.

Nonetheless, after returning in December 2022, Gatland’s second stint as head coach delivered simply six wins from 26 Exams, with Dallaglio highlighting flaws in contingency planning for the longer term.

“There’s a lot more reasons Warren Gatland has not been successful in his second stint,” the previous England worldwide informed Sky Sports activities.

“Errors have been made in Wales lengthy earlier than Warren got here again. Not giving [defence coach] Shaun Edwards a four-year contract and solely providing a two-year contract, letting him go over the channel to France was a giant mistake.

“There was a generation of players that were so talented, that played right up to the last breath of their physical rugby bodies.

“Whether that meant you weren’t able to bring through a group of players, you suddenly lose 700 caps out the door and you’ve got to start again at a time when there’s a big goal for improvement.

“I do not know a lot about what is going on on internally however while you’re profitable, it is hardly ever down to at least one particular person. And while you lose and there is failure, it shouldn’t be attributed to at least one particular person.”

With Wales’ alarming decline under Gatland seeing them slump to a new world ranking low of 12th, below Georgia, Dallaglio believed the time for change had come.

“It was probably time for a change,” he added. “Whether it’s the right thing to do mid-championship remains to be seen. It’s a tricky one for me.

“I feel Warren was at all times searching for two or three performances so he might show there was potential there.

“When you’re losing so often, it makes consistency of selection a problem. Through injury and trying to find different solutions, you end up chopping and changing your team. You don’t get anything in international rugby without trust and consistency.

“There’s going to be a problem there for the following coach, and I feel it isn’t nice for the sport when the gaps between nice nations like Wales and nations like South Africa, France and Eire are so large. It is not good in any respect.

“We want to see competitive matches. But who knows, there might be an uplifting performance over the next few weeks and England could be the ones to find out.”

Dallaglio, who gained three Premiership titles and the European Champions Cup underneath Gatland throughout his tenure at London Wasps, believes the time for change had arrived and burdened his former coach’s legacy would endure.

“It’s very disappointing,” Dallaglio added. “Warren Gatland is a friend, as well as a coach, and he’s had a long stint of unparalleled and unprecedented success.

“His time at Wales in the mean time is remembered for what’s occurred within the final two years and 14 back-to-back defeats, however really his legacy needs to be the three Grand Slams, two World Cup semi-finals and what he did with the Lions.”
