Matt Sherratt hasn’t ruled out another stint as Wales’ interim coach but warns against overreacting to their 68-14 loss to England.
Back at Cardiff, he’s focused on their URC play-off push while the WRU works to appoint a permanent coach. With delays possible, another temporary appointment remains on the table, though Sherratt insists the Wales job is still “brilliant” as the team rebuilds.

00:00Matt Sherratt has not ruled out stepping in as Wales' interim coach again this summer,
00:06though he insists Welsh rugby must avoid overreacting to their 68-14 defeat to England.
00:14His three-game stint with Wales ended with the Six Nations wooden spoon, but he has now returned
00:21to his role as Cardiff head coach, focusing on keeping them in the URC playoff contention.
00:29Despite the Welsh Rugby Union's hopes of appointing a permanent head coach before
00:34this summer's tour of Japan, some candidates have six-month notice periods,
00:41meaning a full-time appointment may not be in place by July.
00:47That could lead to another campaign with a temporary head coach,
00:51a possibility Sherratt admits he hadn't considered but won't dismiss.
00:56After a whirlwind four weeks, he is enjoying being back with Cardiff as they prepared for
01:02their clash with the Lions at Arms Park, which will set the tone for their final fixtures
01:08and Challenge Cup knockout campaign. Before fully shifting focus, Sherratt has one final task,
01:16offering feedback to the WRU. Despite the heavy defeat, he insists the Wales job remains brilliant,
01:22calling the next head coach very lucky to inherit a team on the up.
01:52Today's disappointing. It's devastating for the players.
01:59He believes the worst mistake Welsh rugby could now make is overreacting to their record Six
02:06Nations loss, emphasising the need for measured decisions as Wales look to rebuild.
