Matt Sherratt is ready to hit the ground running to end Wales’ record 14-game losing streak but, whatever happens in the remainder of the Six Nations, the new caretaker coach has said he will not be seeking the role on a permanent basis. The exit of Warren Gatland by mutual consent on Tuesday led to Sherratt being parachuted in from his position as Cardiff head coach for Wales' remaining three games in the Six Nations, starting with a home clash against champions Ireland on Feb. 22.

Omer Riza accused his Cardiff City players of lacking of bravery after they lost 2-1 at fellow Championship strugglers Portsmouth. The result leaves the Bluebirds still in a relegation dogfight, just two points above the drop zone and still with just one away win all season in the league.

Warren Gatland has left his role as Wales coach midway through the Six Nations, with his team on a national-record losing streak of 14 matches. The decision was announced by the Welsh Rugby Union on Tuesday, three days after a 22-15 loss to Italy that appears to have sealed the New Zealander's fate. Matt Sherratt, the head coach of Cardiff, will take over for the remainder of the Six Nations.

Warren Gatland should resign and the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) should start looking for a replacement to bring in fresh ideas, according to Sir Clive Woodward. Wales’ well deserved 22-15 loss to Italy in Rome marked their 14th consecutive defeat, piling even more pressure on Gatland.

Cardiff City’s FA Cup journey will continue against Premier League opposition after a dramatic penalty shoot-out victory over Stoke City was rewarded in the draw by a fifth-round clash away to Aston Villa. The Bluebirds, currently battling to pull further away from the relegation scrap in the Championship, held their nerve at the Bet365 Stadium in a thrilling contest that ended 3-3 after extra time, with goalkeeper Ethan Horvath emerging as the hero.

Sam Warburton has suggested Wales coach Warren Gatland may have “lost the dressing room” following the defeat to Italy. Former Wales captain Warburton - made captain by Gatland for two Lions tours - gave a damning verdict on Wales under Gatland after the team had suffered a 14th successive defeat in Rome.

Luke Williams believes Swansea City have drawn a line in the sand after they gained their first victory of 2025. Josh Tymon's second-half strike was enough to give the Swans a 1-0 Championship victory over Bristol City in a full-blooded Anglo-Welsh battle at Ashton Gate.

Warren Gatland insists it’s business as usual for him as Wales continue to lose and fall further down the world rankings. Some coaches may have read the room and offered to resign after a 14th successive defeat led to a further drop in the rankings to 12th, a record low. But despite a deserved 22-15 defeat to Italy in Rome, Gatland was again talking about “working hard” and “staying tight” - just as he has been doing for almost 500 days since he last won a game of rugby.

Omer Riza praised Rubin Colwill after Cardiff City banished the ghost of FA Cups past with a 4-2 win over Stoke to reach the fifth round for the first time in 11 years. Goalkeeper Ethan Horvath and midfielder Colwill were the heroes after an enthralling cup tie, which ended 3-3 after 120 minutes. The Bluebirds made it fourth time lucky at the bet365 Stadium as they finally got one over the Potters in the competition.
