Today's rugby news as bookies release odds on under-fire Wayne Pivac's potential Wales successor

Bookies release odds on Wayne Pivac's potential successor.

Bookmakers release odds on Wayne Pivac's potential successor as Wales coach. Scott Robertson is the favourite, while Warren Gatland is 5/1. Ronan O'Gara is 7/2, Jonathan Humphreys 8/10 and Cardiff Rugby director of rugby Dai Young 9/11. Pvac names his team to face Australia at the weekend. He is under pressure after the disastrous defeat to Georgia. Wales have won just three games from 11 starts this year. They are 10 months away from a World Cup. They lost to Italy and Georgia on Saturday.

Dragons are the best team in the United Rugby Championship this weekend. They take on the Emirates Lions in Johannesburg on Sunday. The Scarlets take against the Stormers on Friday, the Ospreys against Bulls on Saturday and Cardiff away to the Sharks on Sundays. South Africa would be delighted with four wins, but three out of four is slightly more likely. Bobby Skinstad had a spell with the Welsh side back in 2004. He believes the Dragons are playing 80-minute games this season.

Wales U20s' Six Nations return to Colwyn Bay is on February 3. They will play defending champions Ireland. Their only other home match is against England on Friday, February 24. Head coach Byron Hayward wants to build on last summer's success. Joe Hawkins, Dafydd Jenkins and Christ Tshiunza were promoted to Wayne Pivac's 2022 Autumn Nations Series squad.

England's forwards are disappointed after their performance against New Zealand. Jamie George believes the game against South Africa is the perfect opportunity for them to rediscover their edge. South African team complete the Autumn Nations Series at Twickenham on Saturday. Bookies release odds on Wayne Pivac's potential successor.
