Rugby Union - Lancaster Sets Out Masters Plan

England's interim head coach Stuart Lancaster has outlined his vision for the future of his side. England are 11/4 with bet365 to win the Six Nations, which begins in February, and plans are being put in place as Lancaster searches for the next set of players to move the country in the right direction. Mark Cueto will not take part in February's tournament while there has been speculation that Nick Easter will also be axed. But the foundations are already being laid and Lancaster has outlined his strategy for the coming few weeks. The head coach said: "From a management point of view, what Graham (Rowntree) and I are keen to do is align our philosophies. Unlike a club when you spend time together all the time, we've got to hit the right balance between spending time together ourselves, but also spending an equal amount of time building relationships with clubs." He added: "From an England point of view, we want a clear way of how we want to play and we want to have a clear philosophy on the way we would like to take the squad forward. "Finally, we've been looking at the environment and how to create a different feel for the team and for the squad."

Football - Oldham Eye ANother Famous Scalp

Oldham Athletic believe they can rip up the form book once again as they prepare to take on Liverpool at Anfield in the FA Cup on Friday night. The League One side sprung a famous cup shock four years ago against Everton and are 40/1 with bet365 to come away from Anfield with another 1-0 win over a Premier League side. Paul Dickov's team are fully focused on leaving Merseyside with another shock victory and will have the backing of more than 6,000 fans. Skipper Dean Furman said: "I keep hearing about that Everton win and who's to say we can't go there and cause an upset? We aren't going there to make up the numbers, this is what the FA Cup is all about because it gives the smaller clubs a chance against the big boys. "It's 11 against 11 and once we're out there, it doesn't matter who they are - we'll be going out there to enjoy it. We aren't going to treat it as a day out though - the gaffer won't let us lie back and roll over. "We'll be going there to spoil the party. We'll set up with a game plan and give it our best shot."

Soccer - Coyle Backs Bolton To Stay Up

Bolton boss Owen Coyle believes his side has what it takes to beat the drop after they battled back from a goal down to see off Everton at Goodison Park. The Toffees took the lead in bizarre circumstances on Wednesday night through goalkeeper Tim Howard but Bolton, who are now 4/6 with bet365 to be relegated, grabbed the win thanks to goals from David Ngog and Gary Cahill. "It was a big win but a merited win. We knew that we had to be at our best and we were," said Coyle. "I have always said we can avoid relegation. We have players who would get into most Premier League sides." The win saw Bolton leapfrog Wigan and Blackburn at the foot of the table and they are now just a point behind 17th-placed QPR. However, they will need all their battling qualities in their next few games against Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal if they are to climb out of the drop zone."
