New Welsh Rugby Union chair Ieuan Evans has insisted that the governing body won't be rushed into their review of Wayne Pivac's performance despite reports that England would also be interested in Warren Gatland.
However, he added they would be naive not to realise the danger of losing their former coach to their nearest rivals.
It's understood that were Wales to dispense with Pivac as Wales coach after a poor year that has seen them fall to nine defeats in 12 matches, Gatland would be the WRU's preferred choice after a meeting was held between the defeats to Georgia and Australia. A review will be held to look into the autumn campaign, where Pivac's future will be decided.
