Former Wales head coach Warren Gatland has revealed the possible destinations he could end up once his contract with New Zealand Rugby Union ends next year.
Currently director of rugby at the Chiefs in Super Rugby, Gatland looks likely to move on next year and admits the fires are still burning. He is certain to have a number of options and replacing Eddie Jones could yet be one of them.

"Look, I don't know. I've never had a rugby agent. I've always been a great believer in what will be will be, and something will come along. I've been incredibly lucky," he said.
"I don't have a CV, I've never applied for a job. Someone has come knocking and said - would you be interested?
"My contract is up in New Zealand next year and I'm not actively looking for something but if the right thing comes along I'll have a look at something."
Gatland was then quizzed by host Payne on where he would most like to end up next, and gave some suggestions.
"It could be back in the Premiership, it could be in France, there's opportunities in Japan as well. I could be waiting until after the World Cup and maybe it's international rugby again."
"I'm not actively looking but something will come along and it will be the right thing and at the right time."
The inevitable question of coaching England when Jones departs next year arrived, and Gatland is not ruling anything out.
"It's a long way down the road. They wouldn't let me back in to Wales if I went and took on the enemy," he said.
"I loved my time there in Wales, but you never say never about anything and like I said we'll see what happens over the next few months."
