The Six Nations kicks off this weekend . . . well, actually, no, it doesn’t.

Cardiff City continue to set the pace at the top of the League One table - and have two more opportunities to strech clear of the chasers this week.

The pool stages of European rugby comes to an end this weekend, with all four Welsh teams still in the hunt for the knockout stages.

You can’t beat the early January whiff of a giant-killing in the FA Cup and Wrexham will he hoping the air is pungent on Friday night.

New Year’s Day is usually a time of hope, optimism and positive thinking . . . all of which are desperately needed in Welsh rugby.
