Today's rugby news as Gatland explains coach's visible annoyance and chief reveals WRU fears
Here are your rugby morning headlines for Thursday, November 14.
Wales coach visibly annoyed at players' decision in Fiji defeat
Warren Gatland has lifted the lid on why his forwards coach Jonathan Humphreys appeared to be so animated after the final whistle during last weekend's defeat to Fiji.
At the end of the game Humphreys could be seen pointing at both Gatland and Rob Howley, seemingly remonstrating angrily. But Gatland has revealed it was down to one aspect of the game which annoyed him.

"He was saying 'why the hell did we take the ball out of the maul?'" said Gatland. "That’s what he was saying and I agree with him 100%.
"We should have kept the ball in the maul at the end of the game. That’s what he was pointing out."
Despite Wales' losing run the maul has been a big area of strength for Gatland's side but they blew a potential chance at the end, taking the ball out before Ryan Elias knocked on.
Gatland added: "We reviewed the last maul of the game. I won’t criticise Ryan Elias for dropping the ball. That happens in rugby.
"For me, we had a maul that was going forward. We probably needed to keep the ball in. Tomos has taken it out and we had a good hit-up from Blair Murray but the reaction from the forwards in getting around the corner probably wasn’t desperate and quick enough to put them under pressure. We’ve addressed a number of things we can do better, but I thought there were positives in how we started and played some attacking stuff that put them under pressure."
World Rugby chief candidate expresses WRU fear
One of the leading candidates to be elected as World Rugby's chair this week, Abdelatif Benazzi, has expressed concerns over the WRU's financial situation.
Benazzi, along with former Australia flanker Brett Robinson, is among the top candidates to succeed Bill Beaumont in the hot-seat, with Andrea Rinaldo, the former Italy lock, considered an outsider ahead of the vote in Dublin today.
And Benazzi wants to overhaul the traditional structure of rugby globally in the hope of spreading its appeal and injecting more cash into the game, because, he believes, nations like Wales, Australia and Scotland are in danger of being cut adrift.
“We have to unite now because rugby is in trouble financially,” he told The Times.
“The model we have now is finished. If we wait five years to change we could lose some good unions, maybe Wales, Australia, Scotland. Everyone is in trouble. I want to grow rugby in India, I want to use the power we saw of sevens at the Paris Olympics.
"I want to use Japan as an example for development in Asia. We need a new strategy and to hear more voices. That’s my project.”
Springbok international questions Gatland
Former South Africa hooker Schalk Brits has questioned whether Warren Gatland has the same relationship with Wales players as he once did ahead of a crucial Test against the Wallabies this weekend.
Gatland oversaw the nation's record-equalling 10th Test defeat in a row last weekend against Fiji in Cardiff and it piles on the pressure for this weekend's game against Australia.
And Brits, a Saracens great, wonders whether Gatland has moved and evolved with the times well enough to turn this squad into winners.
"Everyone has changed coaches, except Ireland and South Africa. It's a new group of players. Does Warren Gatland have the same relationship that he had with the old group? Probably not," Brits told Genting Casino.
“Has the game moved forward from that time to when he's still approaching to where he is now? Probably. Has he evolved? I don't know. I don't see a lot of it in the game, but it's hard to judge. It's unfair for me to make a judgment when they keep on getting dominated and they don't have the experience, right?
“It’s different when an Alun Wyn Jones goes to the ref or makes a team talk compared to a guy that doesn't have that stature and that presence, I guess.”
With regards to the game on Sunday, Brits added: “With Australia, they can get themselves up for a game and then get punished the next weekend and I think Australia just needed that confidence and belief that they can do it.
“I don't have a lot of hope for Wales this weekend but going to Cardiff, you never know. I would bet Australia to win by 10 points. Warren Gatland will be fuming after that loss against Fiji because he would say you weren't up for it.
"The one thing you have to be up for is Fiji’s physicality. It’s really tough to judge a team when they've just lost and they're really lost. But I mean, that's ten in a row.
“Saying that, England has lost five out of the last six but the performance was different. The effort was different. It was very fine margins. They just didn't take their chances I would say.”
