# Rugby: A huge challenge awaits Steve Tandy after his appointment as new head coach of Wales. The team just ended an 18-match losing streak when they beat Japan and the former Welsh player will have a mammoth task to get his charges ready for the next World Cup in two years’ time. Tandy succeeds Warren Gatland as permanent head coach after the New Zealander was forced out during this year’s Six Nations. Tandy’s first match in charge will be against Argentina in Cardiff on 9 November.
