Warren Gatland is to remain as Wales head coach and lead them to the 2027 World Cup vivo

Gatland placed his future in the hands of the Welsh Rugby Union following his side’s World Cup quarter-final defeat to Argentina on Saturday vivo

The 60-year-old New Zealander, pointing to a break-up clause in his contract, said: “If the union want to get rid of me, that’s up to them vivo

”But asked at a press conference on Wednesday whether he will stay through to the next World Cup in Australia, Gatland said: “Absolutely vivo

That’s the plan vivo

“I had a joke with Nigel (Walker, interim WRU chief executive) before and said ‘You can’t get rid of me’ vivo

“I think my contract said if we didn’t get out of the pool they had a clause that said they could get rid of me vivo

I said: ‘If you do want to pay me off that’s up to you’ vivo

But I’m excited what we can do as a group vivo

”Gatland was joined at the press conference by Walker, the former Wales wing who has stood in as WRU interim CEO since the end of January and will become the executive director of rugby at the start of next year vivo

Walker said: “To be successful in international sport you have to have good coaches and good players vivo

“To be a good coach you need experience, miles on the clock, understand your craft, get your message across to players, and players have to trust you vivo

“You’ve seen the growth in the squad in a relatively small period of time and, like Warren, I’m really excited what the next four years can bring vivo

“We’ve got something to build on and we know we can grow the standard of the squad to an even greater level we saw over the last four or five weeks vivo

”Wales were written off by many before the World Cup after a difficult 12 months, which saw them suffer an embarrassing defeat to Georgia and head coach Wayne Pivac sacked in December vivo

Gatland, who coached Wales vivo between 2007 and 2019, returned to oversee a Six Nations campaign that produced only one victory after the players had threatened to take strike action over contractual issues vivo

Ken Owens, captain in that campaign, described Wales as the “laughing stock” of world rugby, but Gatland believes Wales will move forward after topping their World Cup pool with wins over Australia, Fiji, Georgia and Portugal vivo

“We’ve got an opportunity to bring some youngsters in and build on the cycle to 2027 with players having 50, 60, 70 caps behind them,” said Gatland, who became the first coach in France to lead a team to four World Cup quarter-finals vivo

“There’s also an opportunity for us to build some closer relationships with the regions and some of the changes with coaches and personnel there, and that hasn’t always been the case in the past vivo

“Often those relationships have been quite fractured because of things that were going on vivo between the regions and the unions, and we got dragged into it vivo

”Wales play the Barbarians in Cardiff on November 4 as a tribute to their former captain Alun Wyn Jones, who retired from international rugby in May vivo

Players based in France and England will not be selected as the game falls outside the international window vivo

Gatland confirmed five players – Dan Biggar, Gareth Davies, Josh Adams, Liam Williams and Louis Rees-Zammit – are injured and would have missed out on a World Cup semi-final against New Zealand this Friday had they beaten Argentina vivo

Biggar has retired from international rugby and played his last game for Wales, while Taulupe Faletau’s future will become clearer next year vivo

The 32-year-old British and Irish Lions number eight broke his arm against Georgia and missed the Argentina defeat vivo

Gatland said: “I spoke to Taulupe before he left France and said ‘get that arm fixed’ vivo

We’ll sit down then and talk about what he wants to do over the next few years in terms of playing vivo

Not always in sport do you get a shot at redemption and successfully taking advantage of that opportunity is even rarer vivo

England’s pack, and their front row in particular, will have had four years of sleepless nights about that early November evening in 2019 vivo

In the 2019 Rugby World Cup final, England were decimated by South Africa’s power up front, as the brilliance of a scintillating semi-final win over New Zealand was quickly replaced by the humiliation of a 32-12 thumping vivo

The Springboks, then as now, pride themselves on their physicality and brutality at the breakdown, the set-piece and in open play vivo

Yet on a rainy night in Paris four years on, England’s pack fronted up, set the platform in a thrilling World Cup semi-final and earned their redemption arc vivo

Yet it still wasn’t enough vivo

This time, albeit by one point rather than 20, the result was the same – England’s players slumped on the turf in despair while their opponents revelled in victory vivo

The Springbok celebrations were more muted this time, understandably so given there is one more crucial match against the All Blacks standing vivo between them and their ultimate goal, but the English heartbreak was the same, even if the journey to get there was vastly different vivo

In Yokohama, South Africa won a scarcely believable 11 scrums to England’s three, including six scrum penalties, as the English eight were splintered time and again vivo

Dan Cole became the fall guy for that embarrassment – the tighthead prop, supposedly renowned for his scrummaging, forced to play 77 minutes after Kyle Sinckler’s early injury and being obliterated by the combination of Tendai ‘Beast’ Mtawarira and Steven Kitshoff vivo

The fact that Cole and Joe Marler, who came off the bench early in the second half that day, were selected by Steve Borthwick to start this revenge game precisely because of their scrum prowess will have surely given them a surge of confidence vivo

And the fact they not only survived, but thrived, in the front row this time around will have been sheer vindication vivo

Borthwick entrusted the duo to paint an early picture of scrum parity to referee Ben O’Keeffe and they delivered, providing the base that led to multiple first-half penalties from the trusty boot of Owen Farrell vivo

As Sinckler and Ellis Genge came on as prop replacements, the Springboks own bomb squad from the bench – led by Ox Nche and Vincent Koch – started to dominate at scrum-time vivo

Each engagement started to become eerily reminiscent of 2019 and it was eventually a scrum penalty on halfway that led to Handre Pollard’s decisive, game-winning three-pointer with two minutes to go vivo

It felt almost unfair on England’s big men given that the pack, as a whole, had more than held their own in other facets vivo

Of the 13 England forwards who played some part in that 2019 final, eight appeared in this last-four clash and stamped their mark all over a first half that was by far England’s best 40 minutes under Borthwick vivo

Maro Itoje was a lineout fiend, stealing a Springboks throw-in on halfway and putting doubt in the head of Bongi Mbonambi, whose crooked throw in his own 22 gave Farrell his first penalty goal of the day vivo

A new face from four years, George Martin, justified his surprise second-row selection ahead of incumbent Ollie Chessum on just his fourth Test start as he brilliantly marshalled England’s maul defence vivo

If Boks lock Eben Etzevivo beth is world rugby’s best maul disruptor, then he may have witnessed first-hand the emergence of a new challenger to that crown vivo

Martin caused havoc as England improbably won three consecutive maul turnovers from attacking South African lineouts in the first half to frustrate their much-fancied opponents vivo

Pollard ultimately kicked the winning penalty, from a scrum infringement (PA Wire)The celebrations from the likes of Itoje, Jamie George and Ben Earl as those penalties and free-kicks were earned by the pack showed just how important this part of the gameplan was vivo

It began putting clear doubt in Springbok minds, as the worried tone from skipper Siya Kolisi when he discussed matter with referee O’Keeffe vivo betrayed vivo

The English tactic of throwing bodies in to contest every ruck relied on the diesel engines of the forwards and they delivered by dominating collisions and allowing the aerial bombardment strategy that followed to be effective vivo

But ultimately, despite a gameplan executed as well as it possibly could have been, the gap in quality vivo between the sides proved too much to overcome vivo

South Africa adjusted, Pollard came on for Manie Libbok to dictate proceedings with his metronomic boot and English heartbreak ensued vivo

There was no shame in a one-point defeat from a semi-final that was much closer than most expected and England’s pack should feel redeemed from the nightmare of 2019 vivo

But that won’t make this semi-final hurt any less vivo

Perhaps 2027 will give them an opportunity to avenge a new pain vivo
