Dan Biggar: It cannot carry on like this, serious questions must be asked of Gatland

Wales legend Dan Biggar says Welsh rugby is at a crossroads and questions must be asked of Warren Gatland.

On Sunday afternoon, Wales equalled their record of 10 successive defeats by losing 24-19 to Fiji at home, which is the first time the Pacific Islanders have ever won at the Principality Stadium.

Speaking to TNT Sports after the game, Biggar explained that Wales cannot just continue to lose games, change must happen.

"It's a crossroads for Welsh rugby at the minute," explained Biggar. "The decision has to be made. Australia had a really good performance yesterday but all of a sudden, you win next week, you push South Africa close and things change.

"But, clearly the way things are for Welsh rugby at the minute and this Welsh team, it cannot continue like this. You can't go 11, 12, 13 defeats on the spin without some serious questions being asked. I don't know what those serious questions are, that's for people upstairs.

"It's clearly a really, really rough day for Welsh rugby and one that needs to lead to plenty of questions."

When asked if those questions focus on Gatland, Biggar said: "Yeah, Warren's been around the game long enough to know that if you're in charge, and you're the head guy, and has to take all the credit when things go well, which they have previously, but clearly at the minute when you're the boss and the head man, and things aren't quite going so well, then the questions fall firstly on his door.

"Big questions to answer. Can they turn it around in seven days before Australia visit the Principality Stadium next week? Who knows. As we said, winning is a habit, but at the minute, this Welsh team has made losing a bit of a habit."

Next week, Wales face a Wallabies side that beat England 42-37 at Allianz Stadium (Twickenham), with rugby league convert Joseph Sua'ali'i starring for the visiting side. Six days later, Gatland and Co will welcome the back-to-back world champions to Cardiff, in what is looking like a mammoth task. at present.

Despite beating the Barbarians and Queensland Reds in the past year, those were not Test matches. And despite the fact Wales are building for the future and to the next World Cup, the collective is largely made up of inexperienced players who have never won a game in the red jersey, or have very little experience of it.

The hope in Wales had been that with the return of veteran Test stars like Adam Beard, Gareth Anscombe and Tomos Williams, Gatland's side would have started their autumn campaign with a victory. Now that it's double figures for consecutive losses, like Biggar says, questions are being asked.
