SCOTT Johnson insists he won't change his role in his one remaining game in charge of Wales before he makes his expected announcement to return to Australia.

And that game against France at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday is highly significant. If France win they will be crowned Six Nations champions - at Wales' expense - while if Italy beat Scotland in Rome as well, Wales will be left with the wooden spoon.

Johnson angered many, even WRU board members, with his touchline, tracksuited appearance in Saturday's embarrassing 18-18 draw against Italy rather than adopting a more formal approach in the stand with his colleagues, as favoured by all other major coaches.

But Johnson remained defiant on Sunday as he picked his way through the pieces left by the Italians, who gained their first away point since joining the Six Nations.

"I've got everything pretty well covered, I like being there," said Johnson. "I've got headphones with eyes and ears upstairs. You've got a different perspective down there which is where I'm comfortable and happy. "You get a different feel for the game there, it's more important for me to be there, it's where I belong, it's where I like to be and it'll be the way it'll stay."

Even if Johnson were to stay on as Wales coach it is highly unlikely it would be as number one. He enjoys a tracksuited role and being in charge of development which is hardly in keeping with the title of head coach.

But in the wake of his expected decision to go, he believes the new coach should be simply the best man for the job, not necessarily Welsh.

"It should be the best person, it's not about where you're from but about the philosophy," he said.

"In my tenure here I can show I'm as passionate about the team as anyone else, I just happen to have been elsewhere. It should be about that person and what they represent."

Meanwhile, the Red Zone Roadshows conducted by WRU chief executive Steve Lewis and chairman David Pickering are coming to an end, with all the evidence still pointing to an EGM being called and a vote of no confidence in the pair being put.

There is still widespread concern among the clubs over the Ruddockgate affair and other matters.

Wales will be without key scrum half Dwayne Peel against France after he damaged a shoulder against Italy. It could even put him out for the season.
