The 28-year-old midfielder was in the side that reached the League Two play-off final at Wembley last season, before losing out to Tranmere Rovers and has stayed to take care of some unfinished business. “Keeping the nucleus of the team together is vital and I truly believe we can go one step further than last season and achieve promotion,” said Labadie.

Former Formula 1 pilot and Sky Sports F1 presenter Johnny Herbert was at Anglesey Circuit recently, testing a historic race car in preparation for the FIA Masters Historic support event at the forthcoming British Grand Prix. The three time Grand Prix race winner plans to race the Ensign N180B, which is owned by former Force India deputy team principal and current McLaren Indy President Bob Fernley. The car has not raced since 1984. “I haven’t driven anything of that era on a track before,” said Herbert. “I’ve driven a Lotus 72 up the hill at Goodwood, but that’s it. It all came together, and I thought I’d give it a go. The race is at Silverstone, and I’m there anyway! I’ll be trying to give it the beans, I won’t be able to help myself.”

The four Welsh regions should all be given equal slices of the cake, argues Robin Davey – regardless of history, success on the field, or anything else that has gone before. The only exception to this, he says, is when it comes to keeping the Wales captain, Alun Wyn Jones, in Wales. Money is at the root of all the murky goings on as the countdown to the new rugby season gets under way. It’s about cold, hard, coin  . . . whether it involves funding the salary of Alun Wyn Jones to try to keep him in Wales or the thorny issue of regional payments.

But Roberts – who played at the 2011 and 2015 tournaments – believes Gatland’s squad will also have to move their game up another level if they are to realise their dream of lifting the Webb Ellis trophy.
