Steve Tandy: Potential new Wales head coach would need long-term deal

Sherratt has also been touted as a potential permanent attack coach in a Wales set-up headed up by Tandy.

The Cardiff boss said after the Six Nations he was not ready to be an international head coach and saw his future at the Arms Park.

But what if a full-time assistant role became available with Wales?

“In the future, as every rugby player or coach there is always going to be international ambitions and that is no different for me,” said Sherratt.

“In this game there is no point in planning too far ahead.

“If the timing and staffing was right and it felt the right thing to do at some stage I would do an international job but I don’t know when that is.

“There has been no contact so my thoughts and efforts are trying to get Cardiff in the top eight.”

Sherratt says it would take an attractive offer to lure him away from the Arms Park.

“I love it here,” said Sherratt.

“Genuinely, I’ve been at three other clubs and this feels the most like home.

“My family love coming here, I love matchday here, it’s like working with a group of mates which means a lot.

“That’s a big pull. It would take something significant for me to change that.”
