Scarlets coach Pivac reveals Wales talks
By Ben Spratt
Scarlets coach Wayne Pivac has revealed he held informal talks with Wales as they look to replace Warren Gatland next year.
Gatland's contract expires in 2019, leaving Wales with time to find a new boss and Pivac, the former Fiji coach, is seemingly among those under consideration.
The Welsh Rugby Union previously stated its intention to announce an appointment later this year and Pivac – who signed a Scarlets contract until at least 2020 last October – speculated that a number of other coaches could also be in conversation with the national team.
"There has been nothing formal, just discussions around my contract here, which I recently signed," he told a news conference.
"As you would expect, I am pretty sure most coaches in Wales at the highest levels would have those conversations."
Weekend reports claimed the Scarlets allowed Wales to speak to Pivac, despite the defence of their Pro14 title and their challenge to win the European Champions Cup heating up.

Yes, because he cant see it. His mind is unable to make it out, like looking at a visual puzzle and just seeing nothing/garbage. It might click.
For instance, Razor did take charge very early by saying those English performances werent good enough, he just executed in how you describe is a "collaborative effort" require individuals to step up. rather than the old school barking AKA Vern Cotter type approach (Ryan does that role I elieve).
Go to commentsNo. I think messing with laws is bad for Rugby. As I’ve said to you before, maddening the number of law changes trialled or implemented on a yearly basis.
Rugby risks becoming a game that changes on the whims of those who run the game. Which I’m not a fan of.
