South African coach Franco Smith appears to have opened the door for the Wales coaching job after being linked to the role following Warren Gatland’s departure.
Smith did not deny interest in succeeding Gatland and admitted that a return to the Test arena would be a “dream” having also coached Italy between 2019 and 2021.
Smith has been insistent that his focus remains with club side Glasgow Warriors for the time being but, equally, he states that there is a keen desire to work at the highest level of the game once again.
“I would like to coach international rugby again. I won’t lie, I think most coaches dream of it,” he said before Glasgow’s clash with the Dragons.
