Jamie Roberts To Be Key Figure As Warren Gatland's Wales Future Is Weighed Up
Warren Gatland is facing the sack as Wales coach – unless he can convince his former star player Jamie Roberts he should be allowed to continue. Gatland lost for the 12th time in a row on Sunday and the 45-12 defeat to South Africa means he is the first Wales coach for 87 years to go through an entire calendar year without winning. The buffeted Welsh Rugby Union will start their review process of the Autumn Series next week, with Roberts set to be a key figure.
Will Rowlands Insists The Buck Stops With Players As Wales Face A Dozen Straight Defeats

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.
