Sam’s The Man For Warren Gatland . . . At Least For This Weekend
Warren Gatland has handed the keys to No.10 to Sam Costelow and told him: No pressure, mate! None at all, except for the fact that Costelow will start at outside-half in a Wales team that has lost its previous 11 matches, is facing world champions South Africa, and has been selected by a coach who may be one defeat away from the sack.
Derby Winner Geoff Lewis Honoured At Welsh Horse Racing Awards
Geoff Lewis – the only Welsh jockey ever to ride a winner of the Derby – has picked up another trophy to add to his collection. The 88-year-old – winner of the 1971 Derby on Mill Reef – was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Welsh Horse Racing Awards in Cardiff on Thursday night.
Rob Howley still believes Warren Gatland is “the best coach in the world” and is backing him to pull Wales out of their worst losing run in their history. If the world champions South Africa end their international season with a win in Cardiff on Saturday it will condemn Wales to their 12th defeat in a row and make it the first winless year for the national side since 1937.

I Want To Carry On, Insists Wales Coach Warren Gatland As He Faces Winless Year
Warren Gatland says he “absolutely” has the desire to continue in his role as Wales head coach. Speculation continues to rage about Gatland’s future after a record run of 11 successive Test match defeats. World champions South Africa are next up for Wales on Saturday, with the Springboks overwhelming favourites to emphatically extend that losing sequence.
South Africa head coach Rassie Erasmus has insisted that under-pressure Wales counterpart Warren Gatland has not become "bad" overnight. Gatland has overseen a Welsh national team record of 11 straight Test defeats, with losses in November to Fiji and Australia after claiming the wooden spoon in last season's Six Nations.
