In the Rugby League World Cup – Toa Samoa fans have launched a campaign to get “Black Adam” – that’s right, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson behind Samoa for their historic Rugby League World Cup final against Australia this weekend.
Samoa is the first ever tier-two nation to qualify for a Rugby League World Cup final.
Go Samoa Go.
In rugby union – BIG Fiji-born England Wing, Joe Cokanasiga has been ruled out of the All Blacks versus England Test at Twickenham because of an ankle problem.
Cokanasiga was a late call-up for the 52-13 win over Japan, but the giant Bath back has now been added to the injury list himself.
Meanwhile, top French Referee Mathieu Raynal – at the centre of the Bledisloe Cup time-wasting furore two months ago – has been whistled up as a late replacement to officiate the All Blacks vs England Test on Sunday after Australian Ref, Nic Berry had to go home for personal reasons.
In football – the San Francisco 49ers is set to buy out English Premier League Club Leeds United, valued at US$558Million. Leeds was bought by Andrea Radrizzani for US$52M in 2017 while in the second-tier EFL Championship league.
They won promotion to the EPL for the 2020-21 season and BOOM all of a sudden they are worth ten times more – go figure.
In Qatar – Spain Head Coach, Luis Enrique will be live streaming to interact with fans “without filters” in a way that is more “spontaneous and natural” between games at the FIFA World Cup. “Streamers of the world, move over. I’m going downhill without breaks,” he said on a video posted on his Twitter account.
Me thinks Senior Enrique will regret this somehow.
In boxing – have you ever wondered what losers say to winners in the ring after their fight?
“It’s okay. I don’t like you, you don’t like me but respect,” that’s exactly what dethroned UFC Middleweight champ Israel Adesanya said to Alex Pereira of Brazil after he punched and kicked the Kiwi-Nigerian’s lights out and snatched his title.
So now what – a rematch?
Only in the USA – following last Sunday’s boisterous capacity crowd of 69,811 at Munich’s Allianz Arena for the Bucs’ 21-16 win over the Seahawks, it’s easy to see why the NFL wants to expand into Europe.
The NFL will play “at least” four games in Germany through 2025, but don’t be surprised if it expanded beyond that at some point soon.
Germany and Britain have 3.3 million “avid fans” according to the NFL, which aims to grow its international business to US$1Billion annually, with multiple NFL franchises in Europe as a division.
Cheers buddy!
