- Byron Hayward moved out after six-match losing run
- ‘We were not heading in right direction with the defence’
Wayne Pivac admitted that his Wales setup could be perceived as “a mess” after this week’s sacking of the defence coach, Byron Hayward, less than a year into the job, but said the decision was taken to get planning for the 2023 World Cup back on track.
Wales, who won the grand slam last year and reached the semi-finals of the World Cup, have lost their last five matches and suffered their worst Six Nations campaign since 2007, beating only Italy. Pivac, who took over as head coach from Warren Gatland a year ago having worked with Hayward at the Scarlets, took the decision to remove his defence coach before Friday’s opening Autumn Nations Cup match against Ireland in Dublin.
