Virtually everybody in Newport and farther afield seem to be talking about the big cup tie, but manager Michael Flynn and his players dare not look beyond MK Dons.

Daniel James will be sent to Leeds next week – provided he is fit, Swansea City manager Graham Potter has insisted. Wales winger James – who seemed destined to be sold on transfer deadline day, until he sat in a room at Elland Road waiting for a call that never came – made his first appearance since that fiasco in the Swans’ 1-0 win over Millwall. He will make his next away at Leeds on Wednesday, according to Potter who says only injury or fatigue would result in the player’s absence.

Warren Gatland has warned Wales could be embarrassed by England if they don’t improve from their scratchy victory over Italy. But the Wales coach has also admitted he may have got it wrong by making so many changes for round two of the Six Nations in Rome. Wales backed up their victory over France by defeating the Azzurri 26-15 in Rome thanks to second-half tries by wing Josh Adams and centre Owen Watkin.

Liam Williams has insisted Warren Gatland was right to roll the dice in Rome – and believes there is little danger of Wales not finding the right numbers. The Saracens full-back is one of only five survivors from the team that opened the Six Nations with a comeback victory in France after Gatland rang the changes for Saturday’s match in Italy. The Wales coach made 12 changes to his starting line-up for last season’s corresponding fixture in Cardiff, and Wales launched an ongoing 10-game unbeaten run by beating the Azzurri 38-14.

Neil Warnock has relied on his family to get him through the biggest crisis of his managerial career. The Cardiff City manager has paid tribute to his wife Sharon and children for guiding him through the difficulties of the Emiliano Sala tragedy. As the Bluebirds prepare for their first match since formal identification of Sala’s body after its retrieval from plane wreckage in the English Channel, Warnock has admitted he questioned whether he could continue in the job.

Sergio Parisse says he is ‘really confident’ about his Italy team’s prospects against Wales on Saturday – despite history being stacked against them. Italy have lost their last 18 Six Nations Tests, going without a win in the tournament since they beat Scotland at Murrayfield four years ago. The Azzurri have to go even further back – March 2013 – for a Six Nations home victory, while they last toppled Wales in 2007.
