Japan just beat Tonga 16-21 in Osaka and South Africa pipped Argentina 21-22 at Ellis Park in Jo’burg.
In rugby league
In rugby league: Manly gave their inspirational Captain Daly Cherry-Evans a milestone game to remember in an entertaining 24-18 victory over the Dragons in Wollongong.
It was DCE’s 300th NRL game.
While at GIO Stadium in Canberra, Kalyn Ponga gave the thumbs up following a clumsy and dangerous challenge for a high ball in the Knights 28-6 win over Canberra.
And at BlueBet Stadium, Sharks forward Cameron McInnes broke the NRL record for the most tackles in a game – 84, but it wasn’t enough for the visitors, as they were simply no match for a dominant Penrith, going down 28-0 with the Panthers Co-Captains Isaah Yeo and Nathan Cleary simply outstanding.
In Sports Biz
The 2023 Women’s World Cup hasn’t even progressed through group play, but FIFA is already projecting higher attendance numbers than expected for the tournament.
Ticket sales are now close to 1.6 million, according to football’s governing body, which would easily surpass the record 1.35 million fans who attended the FIFA World Cup 2015 in Canada.
In combat Sports
Watch out for Errol Spence Jr. versus Terence Crawford at T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas for their 12-round clash later today, with Crawford of Omaha, Nebraska with a record of 39-0 with 30 knockouts, a former lightweight and undisputed light welterweight world champion who has won all seven of his fights at welterweight by knockout.
And Spence, also with an unblemished record of 28-0 with 22 KOs, from DeSoto, Texas, who will fight to become boxing’s first world undisputed welterweight champion of the four-belt era defending his IBF, WBA and WBC crowns, while Crawford puts his WBO belt on the line.
“Lets get ready to R U M B L E”.
