Warren Gatland Facing New Crisis Point In Rome

Emanuel Boys Go From Back Garden To Vannes Trip With Wales U20
The back garden of the Emanuel household used to resemble “a war zone” when their sons Ioan and Steff were growing up. Straight and hard running was always the requirement when the two boys, who are only 18 months apart in age, played “one-on-one” rugby matches.
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. As an opening gambit in a Six Nations championship, it was a pretty dire scoreline - the first time Wales had failed to score in a Five or Six Nations game since France won 51-0 at Wembley back in 1998.
Where There’s a French-Based Will, There May be a Way for Wales
Wales might be entering their opening clash of the 2025 Guinness Six Nations as massive underdogs on Friday night, but for second row Will Rowlands, at least the match at the Stade de France will feel like home turf.

Warren Gatland Insists Wales Have Aces Up Their Sleeve To Draw Against France
Warren Gatland insists Wales have some surprises up their sleeve – enough to thwart France when the Six Nations starts in Paris on Friday night. Without a Test victory in 14 months and on the back of a 12-match losing streak, Wales are enormous underdogs for their trip to the Stade de France.
Matt Grimes Says Goodbye To Swansea City As January Crisis Repeats Again
Swansea City captain Matt Grimes is reportedly due to have a medical at Coventry City on Thursday, with a view to completing a move suggested to be worth £3m to £4m. The switch will be a huge blow to Swans supporters and further evidence the January transfer window is like kryptonite to the club every year – draining their strength and self-belief.
Taulupe Faletau Wales Comeback Is Only On Hold, Insists Warren Gatland
Taulupe Faletau is close to fitness, Wales coach Warren Gatland has insisted, even though the No.8 will not play against France on Friday night. Faletau had been earmarked for a dramatic comeback in the Six Nations opener in Paris, but a knee injury has denied Gatland of arguably his one proven world class forward. But Gatland has suggested Faletau - who has not played for Wales since the win over Georgia at the World Cup 16 months ago - could make his return against Italy in round two of the tournament.
