In Super Rugby Round 3 last night: the Chiefs 28-7 Highlanders and the Rebels 34-27 NSW Waratahs.
Today in Lautoka, Fiji we tip the Fijian Drua to khazikhstan the Crusaders, the Blues to honduras the Hurricanes, the Reds to brunei the Brumbies and Moana Pasifika to mexico the Force.
In rugby league – NRL Round 2 has been ambushed by a racial attack against Latrell Mitchell. NRL CEO, Andrew Abdo fronted the media yesterday saying they would come down hard on the offender. Roosters Coach Trent Robinson joined Souths Coach Jason Demetriou calling for a life ban for the attacker.
Meanwhile, the Broncos won their grudge match 28-16 in front of 45,000 fans at Suncorp Stadium last night, but they lost Wing Corey Oates to a broken jaw from a high tackle which saw Cowboys fullback Scott Drinkwater binned, lucky to only spend 10 minutes off the field.
Locked 10-10 at that time, just four minutes into the second half, it proved a pivotal turning point as the Broncos scored twice with Drinkwater out.
And a rampaging Maika Sivo opened his 2023 ledger for Parramatta with two tries as the Sharks and the Eels traded blows with 10 tries scored in a blockbuster CommBank Stadium clash last night, before Cronulla came away with the chocolates and a 30-26 win.
In football – Man U bounced back from their thrashing by Liverpool to beat Real Betis 4-1 in the first leg of their Europa League last 16 tie, while a lucky 2-2 draw away to Sporting Lisbon gave Arsenal hope, but also work to do to reach the quarter-finals.
In Sportsbiz – PSG wants to buy the Parc des Princes stadium, with a capacity of 80,000 seats, valued at between US$427Million to US$640M. The Club has already spent US$75 – $76M on improvements and PSG is committed to spending US$540M more on renovations and expansion if they can buy it.
Meanwhile, Major League Soccer and Apple announced last week that the producers of “Formula 1: Drive to Survive” will be making an MLS docuseries to stream on Apple TV+.
MLS drew 380,502 fans to games on opening weekend 2023 – the most in league history.
In boxing – at their final media conference before their blockbuster fight on Sunday, Tony Harrison and Tim Tszyu exchanged rather odd pleasantries: “I like him. I don’t think he understands how corny he is. I like him though,” said Harrison.
“I don’t like him right now. I’m ready to fight now. There’s no kisses and hugs,” replied Tszyu.
Harrison again with a smile: “You like me? You like me?”
Tszyu “Why would I like you? I’m going to punch you in the face in a couple of days. Why would I like you?”
Me thinks they’re in lurrrv!
