Wales Rugby faced a big reset when former England coach Warren Gatland was appointed to take them back to the top of test Rugby.
With pressure undoubtedly on the coach after their performances so far, the autumn test side has been announced and it could be one last chance for the man in charge.

00:00Wales coach Warren Gatland insists he won't protect his own position, as he reiterated
00:07he won't look for short-term fixes when he names his squad for the autumn.
00:12Wales face Fiji, Australia and South Africa in November, with the nation not having won
00:17a Test match since beating Georgia in Nantes last year, enduring a run of nine defeats
00:22since then. The pressure is undoubtedly on the Wales coach.
00:26Week 2 Fiji in Cardiff on November 10th would equal the nation's longest stretch of losses
00:32at Test level, while it would open the possibility of going through an entire calendar year without
00:37a win.
00:38However, despite all that, Gatland insists he will not make selection decisions simply
00:44to ease the pressure on his own position, stating he will do just what he believes is
00:49best for Welsh rugby's future.
00:51I promise you we're going to work incredibly hard as a group and hopefully we can show
00:56some development as a squad in the autumn campaign.
