Wales will head home on Sunday having failed to reach the quarter-finals of a World Cup for the first time in the professional era.

Jenkins had asked to be judged on the World Cup but urged against any ``knee-jerk'' reactions and added: ``When you are in this position as national coach you have to accept you are accountable. We came here to get to the quarter-finals and we haven't done that - but what we mustn't do is panic."

He added: ``There is no need for a huge knee-jerk reaction, that is my personal view. We need to understand the lessons. Our board will meet to understand the reasons behind why we haven't succeeded.

``Personally my ambition is to continue coaching Wales, it's as simple as that.

``I did say about being judged on the World Cup but there are, without a doubt, positives as well as negatives.

``Going forward we will present our view and the people that make the decision will make their call.

``I have a lot of work to do in terms of analysing and reflecting and presenting a report. A decision will be made one way or another about the contract.''

His side will head now home while Fiji go to Marseille to tackle South Africa in the last eight.
