WRU to make Leigh Halfpenny announcement as mentor Neil Jenkins told to stay at home
WRU to make Leigh Halfpenny announcement as mentor Neil Jenkins told to stay at home The former Wales full-back will join up with camp next week to help coach the national team Leigh Halfpenny shakes hands with Neil Jenkins (Image: Ben Evans/Huw Evans Agency ) Leigh Halfpenny will be confirmed as part of Wales' coaching staff for the tour of Japan in the coming days. The former Wales full-back, who called time on his illustrious Test career after the 2023 World Cup, will join up with Matt Sherratt's coaching team from next week as preparations continue for the two-Test tour in July. The 36-year-old, who still has ambitions to carry on playing, will work as a kicking coach as part of interim head coach Sherratt's new-look coaching ticket. The 101-cap international had been expected to take up a role in Sherratt's staff for the Japan tour, although he wasn't initially named in Wales' management team on the same day that Cardiff head coach Sherratt named his 33-man squad to face the Brave Blossoms. Cardiff defence coach Gethin Jenkins, Gloucester's T. Rhys Thomas and Harlequins pair Danny Wilson and Adam Jones have already been confirmed as part of Sherratt's staff for the upcoming tour. Following his expected announcement this week, Halfpenny will take up his coaching duties next week - with Wales' preparations having started officially on Monday. Some players have even been in longer, with optional extra conditioning sessions taking place at their Vale Resort training base last week. Article continues below Following his Test retirement two years ago, Halfpenny has enjoyed spells in New Zealand and England, with Crusaders and Harlequins respectively. The full-back's departure from the Stoop was confirmed last month, with his last game for Quins coming on the weekend against Bristol Bears. He's now expected to join French club Beziers, but will spend his summer coaching with Wales first. Sign up to Inside Welsh rugby on Substack to get exclusive news stories and insight from behind the scenes in Welsh rugby. With Halfpenny part of Wales' coaching staff in Japan, it means Neil Jenkins won't tour with the national team. The former fly-half has been a mainstay of Wales' coaching team for nearly two decades, first working with the national team in 2006. However, amid uncertainty over the future of the existing coaches, Jenkins is currently spending his time helping the U20s squad prepare for their World Championship campaign. Over the years, Jenkins has formed a very close bond with Halfpenny - having worked closely with the full-back. The 53-year-old was even present to watch Halfpenny's last game for Harlequins on the weekend. The need to bring in a temporary coaching staff to Japan comes as the Welsh Rugby Union's search for Warren Gatland's successor goes on. Gatland walked from the job during the Six Nations following a run of 14 consecutive Test defeats, with parts of his coaching staff remaining as Sherratt was parachuted into the job mid-tournament. With Sherratt being tasked with taking temporary charge again, the Cardiff boss has been allowed to choose his own coaching staff. As such, the rest of Gatland's backroom staff - Jonathan Humphreys, Mike Forshaw, Alex King and Rob Howley - will not be involved in Japan. Article continues below WalesOnline understands that communication from the Union with the existing coaches prior to the announcement of the summer's coaching ticket had been sparse. Some of those existing coaches are understood to be out of contract this summer, but the WRU insist no decision will be made on their futures until the new head coach is in place, with the search getting closer to its conclusion.

Celtic hero Daizen Maeda breaks silence on future amid interest from Jose Mourinho and English Premier League
DAIZEN MAEDA has handed Celtic a huge boost by pledging his future to the Hoops after insisting he wants to do even better next season. The Japanese international won multiple Player of the Year awards after an outstanding season where he scored 34 goals for club and country in 56 games. 2 Daizen Maeda in action Credit: Kenny Ramsay 2 Daizen Maeda had a hugely successful season Credit: Kenny Ramsay His superb form attracted interest, with Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce joining West Ham United in admiring the 27-year-old. Maeda is back home and was given a rest by Japan for their World Cup double-headers this month after they became the first team to qualify for next year's tournament as early as March. He was the guest of honour at one of his former clubs - Mito HollyHock - at their game in the second tier of Japanese football against Nagasaki, along with international teammate Ryotaro Ito, who was also at the club and now plays in Belgium for Sint-Truiden. Maeda was quizzed in front of the fans about his season at Celtic and made it perfectly clear he will remain in Glasgow next season. He said: "I was in great form this season, both personally and so were the team. "So I'd like to keep it going next season. "I am who I am because of my team, Celtic. "I'd like to thank my teammates and, above all, my family for supporting me so far. "I'd be happy if I could score more goals next season. I hope the number of goals will continue to increase. "My career really took off here in Mito. When I first came to Mito, I thought, 'No one can run at all! Celtic ace lookalike goes viral in hilarious vids spoofing Hoops star Daizen Maeda "My forte is sprinting multiple times during a match and running for 90 minutes straight. I came to Mito and learned about not wanting to lose games." And he was praised by his former colleague Ito. He said: "I used to think Daizen was bad at shooting, but I don't think we can say that anymore! "He seems to win his club points on his own. His growth curve has been incredible. "I thought he'd make the Japanese national team, but it's crazy to become Player of the Year in another league. "But honestly, I am not surprised. I think Daizen has that much ability."

Fabio Wardley thought he was being SCAMMED on Facebook when Oleksandr Usyk asked him for sparring
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FABIO WARDLEY thought he was being SCAMMED after being approached to spar Oleksandr Usyk in 2018. Usyk was preparing to defend his undisputed cruiserweight titles against Britain's Tony Bellew at the time. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Fabio Wardley with Oleksandr Usyk in 2018 4 Wardley thought he was being scammed when he got the sparring offer Credit: Instagram / @fabiowardley Wardley was just 4-0 having only turned professional a year earlier off the back of four wins on the white collar circuit. So when the former recruitment consultant got a message to join Usyk's camp in Kyiv - he could not quite believe it. Wardley told The Times: "I got this message on Facebook in broken English and at first I thought it might be a scam. 'I was confused as to why I'd even be on Usyk's radar. I'd left my job in London to focus on my career and I was working part-time in a commercial gym.

I flew to Ukraine and a driver had a sign with my name on it. "He didn't speak a lick of English and I got into this stranger's white van and I thought, 'I don't know if I'm making it home', but then I met his team and they were all really nice. "I was extremely green. I didn't know the scale of Usyk's skill. To even lay a glove on him was really difficult. "I think I got something like £750 per week.' 4 CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Wardley's success is one of the most unlikely in British boxing after forgoing amateur experience. His handful of white collar fights started as a way of keeping fit and ended with aspirations of a genuine pro career. Fabio Wardley faces off with Justis Huni ahead of his homecoming fight Wardley got his break in 2018 after sparring with Dillian Whyte and later being signed to his management stable. And he has since racked up 18 wins with just one draw - against Frazer Clarke which he brutally avenged in their rematch. Wardley now has the chance to put himself in line for the heavyweight titles former sparring partner Usyk holds. He said: 'When I turned professional, I just thought I'd have a few fights and if I could win any kind of belt in my career, I'd be happy to have something decent to look back on. 'I wasn't supposed to be achieving these kinds of things. I got this message on Facebook in broken English and at first I thought it might be a scam. I was confused as to why I'd even be on Usyk's radar. Fabio Wardley "I fought at the O2, then I headlined the O2, I've fought in Saudi Arabia as the chief support to Tyson Fury and to Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol. "It keeps feeling like we've peaked and that it can't get any better and now I'm fighting at the stadium in my hometown. "I'm genuinely on the edge of a world title, which sounds crazy for me just to say.' Wardley, 30, references his homecoming Ipswich fight at Portman Road against Australian Justis Huni, 26, on Saturday. He was initially set to fight Jarrell Miller - the controversial serial drug cheat - until the American pulled out due to "injury". So Aussie Huni - who won gold at the amateur World Youth Championships in 2016 - filled in as a late replacement on five weeks' notice. Wardley said: 'Huni is another opponent from a completely different end of entry in boxing terms. 'After starting in white-collar, anything was a win. This wasn't realistic, but you always imagine.'
