Richard Whiffin Promises Wales U20s Will Learn How To Dig In
Richard Whiffin has pledged to pick up his Wales U20 side after their nine try defeat in France. Like their senior counterparts, the U20s began their own Six Nations with a jolting one-sided walloping, but at least they will head into the Italy fixture having got on the scoreboard.

Omer Riza is hoping the return of Aaron Ramsey can offer a chink of light for Cardiff City after a dark weekend left the manager needing to apologise to fans. Amid the gloom of a 7-0 thrashing at Leeds United - which required a humbling “sorry about that” to travelling Bluebirds supporters - was the boost of Ramsey playing 45 minutes for Cardiff's Under-21s in a 3-2 victory over Everton in the Premier League Cup.
Warren Gatland Facing New Crisis Point In Rome

Wales Exposed By France As Lightweight Six Nations Also-Rans
It looks like things are getting to get even worse before they get any better for Warren Gatland's Wales after they were blown away by France in a 43-0 humiliation in Paris.
