Exclusive: Warren Gatland says he 'loves' pressure of ending Wales losing run - 'It's strangely exciting'

Warren Gatland has admitted he 'loves' the pressure of ending Wales' losing run.

The Welshman has come under fire following Wales' poor run of form, which has seen them lose their last five matches.

But Gatland says he is relishing the challenge of turning things around.

"I love it," he said.

'It's strangely exciting'

Gatland says he is not feeling the pressure of the situation, but he is excited about the challenge.

"It's strangely exciting," he said.

"I'm not feeling the pressure, I'm just looking forward to the challenge.

"I know we've had a tough run, but I believe in this team and I believe we can turn things around."

Wales will be looking to end their losing run when they take on Italy in the Six Nations on Saturday.

Gatland's side will be hoping to get back to winning ways and get their Six Nations campaign back on track.

Gatland says he is confident that Wales can beat Italy and start to turn things around.

"We know it's going to be a tough game, but we're confident we can get the win," he said.

"We've been working hard in training and we're ready for the challenge."
