Ben Tozer believes the Rodney Parade pitch will be the secret weapon in FA Cup giant killers’ Newport County’s bid to add the scalp of Tottenham to their collection. Mauricio Pochettino’s side head to the League Two club, conquerors of Leeds United in the third round, for Saturday’s tie, where they will play in front of 66,000 fewer fans than their last home game at Wembley against Everton. “We can win the game – 100% we can win the game. People will write us off, but they did that against Leeds,” said Tozer.

The Six Nations is almost here and Owen Morgan is feeling feverishly excited, wistfully nostalgic, and a little bit old as life turns full circle. Look out, the “internationals” are coming . . .  When I was seven, I used to sing the title line from Wizard’s “I Wish it Could be Christmas Every Day” and I meant every single word. Then, I discovered “the internationals” and Christmas had a rival.

Warren Gatland believes Wales’ opening Six Nations clash at home to Scotland could determine who wins the Championship. The Wales coach has never lost to the Scots, but views them as serious contenders for the title this season after their rising form and results under Gregor Townsend. Gatland insisted at Wednesday’s tournament launch that Wales should be considered favourites for the 2018 crown, despite a growing injury list that will deprive them of both Liam Williams and Dan Biggar – among others – for that first game at the Principality Stadium on February 3.

The Six Nations has been launched in London, but Wales’ own launch pad looks distinctly wobbly with injury worries weighing them down. Robin Davey takes the body count but suggests the Scarlets can come to the rescue. The mood around Wales’ Six Nations hopes matched the dismal weather on Wednesday when it was revealed that Liam Williams is set to miss next week’s opener against Scotland, and could even be out of the whole tournament. He suffered a recurrence of the abdominal problem with his club Saracens at the weekend, one which had already kept him out for two months.

Charlotte Carey may be only 21, but the Welsh No.1 will appear to be a veteran to Commonwealth Games table-tennis debutant Anna Hursey. Carey will rack up her third Games appearance when she leads the four-strong Welsh team to the Gold Coast in April. She was 14 when she made her Games debut in 2010, but her record of being the youngest Team Wales member in Manchester will be smashed by Hursey when she travels to Australia at the tender age of 11.

Non Stanford will be hoping to make up for the cruel luck that has dogged her at her last two major championships when she makes her Commonwealth Games debut for Wales on the Gold Coast in April.
