Sam Warburton Hints Warren Gatland Has Lost The Wales Dressing Room
Sam Warburton has suggested Wales coach Warren Gatland may have “lost the dressing room” following the defeat to Italy.

Luke Williams Backs Swansea City To Build On Shock First Win Of The Year
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.
No Wins, No Progress, No Hope . . . But Warren Gatland Insists He’s “Working Hard” As Wales Coach
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 Praises Rubin Colwill As Cardiff City Reach Last 16 of FA Cup
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.

Cardiff City Can Use FA Cup Glory As Championship Fuel
Omer Riza insists Cardiff City will give the FA Cup their full respect and attention when they visit Stoke City on Saturday.

Three Italian Dangermen Wales Must Control

Warren Gatland Bets The Lot On Red No.8

Forget The Super Bowl . . . and Remember Sardis Bowl Back In 1975
America, and viewers across the world, will gather for the Super Bowl on Sunday. Twm Owen looks back 50 years to when an American Football game was the biggest show in one Welsh town. You would expect the history of American football in Wales to start in the 1980s when William ‘the Refrigerator’ Perry of the Chicago Bears became a household name and amateurs from Cardiff to Swansea and Caernarfon to Prestatyn took to the gridiron.
Warren Gatland Looks To Taulupe Faletau To Lift Desperate Wales
Taulupe Faletau will play his first game for Wales since the 2023 Rugby World Cup after being named on Thursday in the starting line up for their vital Six Nations clash with Italy in Rome on Saturday. In a boost for beleaguered Wales coach Warren Gatland, Faletau's selection is one of two changes to the side that was heavily beaten in Paris last Friday in the opening game of this year’s tournament. Wales are on a run of 13 defeats and were they to extend that beyond this weekend, it would make Gatland’s position begin to look untenable as well as see the side slip below Georgia to 12th in the world rankings.
