Andy Farrell says now that the Six Nations title is secured, Ireland’s focus has shifted to the two-Test series against the Springboks in July. Ireland and the Springboks are on a collision course, with the back-to-back Six Nations winners set to take on the back-to back World Cup champions on South African soil in July. Heading into Super Saturday, Ireland had not yet secured the Six Nations crown with France and England still in the title race. But the Irish ultimately did enough to edge Scotland 17-13 and with that result clinch a second consecutive championship. Up for for Andy Farrell’s dominant…
Gabriel Agbonlahor has now pointed out two Tottenham Hotspur players he believes Ange Postecoglou needs to drop to the bench. Postecoglou and his side were well beaten at Fulham on Saturday, a result that has left a very sour taste heading into the international break. Spurs now have to wait until they host Luton Town on March 30th in order to rectify that display, and perhaps the international break will prove to be a well-needed reset. Naturally, Tottenham was ecstatic following their thrilling victory over Aston Villa on the road the previous week, but it’s astonishing how devastating a single negative…
SA Rugby recently announced that another Test had been added to the 2024 calendar, with the Springboks set to face Wales at the iconic Twickenham Stadium on Saturday, 22 June in a season-opener. The match against Wales is scheduled to take place two weeks prior to the Springboks’ highly anticipated two-Test match against Ireland. However, as the London game is outside of the official Test window, it is likely that a reserve team will have to go to Twickenham. Top players who are now playing in France or England will not be eligible for selection, and it is unlikely that players who…
Micah Richards has joked that Heung-min Son completely let him down as Tottenham Hotspur were beaten by Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday. This past weekend was a tricky one for all Fantasy Premier League players. Many of the big-hitters were either in FA Cup action or had a weekend off. Of course, it was easier for those who had their Free Hit up their sleeve. But obviously, there were some stalwarts who would have still been relied upon to bring in some points. And Heung-min Son was one of those many would have had high hopes for. Micah Richards frustrated…
Tottenham Hotspur have come a long way under Ange Postecoglou. It certainly feels like that anyway, regardless of the league position. Indeed, despite the positivity that has encapsulated the Australian’s tenure so far a place in the top four of the Premier League continues to evade them. Had they won against Fulham on Saturday evening they would have leapfrogged Aston Villa into fourth, albeit if only for a day. Postecoglou admitted post-match that fourth place would not be a trophy. He’s correct, yet that must still be the goal after a campaign in which the Lilywhites had no European football at all. They are still…
The end of Saturday’s game between the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers was marred by a bizarre series of replays, officiating decisions, and technical difficulties that left both teams feeling sour. The ending was so bad that it had Warriors coach Steve Kerr calling for a big change to how replay is handled. LeBron James had a key three-pointer retroactively taken off the board late in the fourth quarter when Witnesses to a different out-of-bounds call noted that James’ heel made contact with the sideline before to the shot. They missed an additional out-of-bounds call on a subsequent…
The Chicago Bears and Justin Fields finally parted ways on Saturday, with the young quarterback offloaded in a deal for a future sixth-round draft pick—which might move up to the fourth round—with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Bears decided to let Fields go before the draft because it looked like they would pick USC quarterback Caleb Williams with the first overall choice. At least four other teams have contacted the Bears over a possible trade for the 25-year-old signal-caller, suggesting that there was plenty of interest in the player. According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Fields’s representation preferred that…
Kyrie Irving called game for the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday, sinking an incredible shot ahead of the final buzzer in order to lift his team to a win over the reigning-champion Denver Nuggets. With the game knotted at 105, Irving made a cut during the inbounds play and received the ball in stride. He attacked the middle of the court before throwing up a difficult left-handed running hook shot around Nikola Jokic, which miraculously found the bottom of the net. It was a critical win for the Mavericks, too. With the 107–105 victory, Dallas (39–29) moves into the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference,…
Tottenham have become a legitimate Champions League contender in the Premier League again, one season after finishing eighth and failing to qualify for any sort of European football. Despite Harry Kane scoring 30 goals for Spurs and creating a significant amount of opportunities (1.5 crucial passes per game), Spurs were not allowed to play in Europe. Spurs are really doing better now that Kane is gone and setting records in the Bundesliga, and that’s because of the personnel and tactical upgrades they made under new manager Ange Postecoglou. Under Postecoglou’s direction, Tottenham will need to make more astute transfers in order to compete for more…
Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie Redknapp slammed his old club for the ‘arrogant’ manner of their performance as they were hammered 3-0 at Fulham, with three players in particular named and shamed. After defeating Aston Villa 4-0 the previous weekend, Spurs knew that a victory at Craven Cottage would put them above Unai Emery’s team in the top four heading into this Saturday night’s match. With ten games remaining and the top five teams seemingly destined to make it into the Champions League the following season, a victory would have put them nine points ahead of sixth-place Manchester United. Rather, Fulham…
