Summary

Warren Gatland has left his role as Wales head coach after a record 14 successive Test match defeats. Chris and Ugo bring you reaction to the news in a special bonus pod. Cardiff head coach Matt Sherratt will take over as interim head coach for the remaining three games of the Six Nations. But who will be Gatland's long-term successor? We get the thoughts of Wales' fly-half Rhys Patchell on Gatland's departure and what the WRU need from their new head coach. Is interim Ireland head coach Simon Easterby a realistic option? And after a dismal end to his Wales tenure, how will Gatland be remembered in the years to come?
