For a coach that values continuity and cohesion, Borthwick took a sledgehammer to his side after the Scotland and Ireland Six Nations defeats, ripping up his whole backline for the games against Italy and France.And while the longer-term selection picture still lacks consistency – only six players in Saturday’s XV started the last meeting with South Africa in November 2024, compared to 11 for the Springboks – the midfield trio of Fin Smith, Seb Atkinson and Tommy Freeman are together for a third Test in a row.Ollie Chessum was colossal on the blindside flank against France, and he wears that…

After waiting for more than an hour for the 28-1 (22 KOs) Spence, who would have needed to be up in the middle of the night in the US to make the call, Tszyu said of his opponent: “He’s a diva. The guy is living in his own fairytale, thinking he…

Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the original Arsenal podcast. In this episode I’m joined by Art de Roche to talk about Arsenal at the World Cup, and the ongoing concerns around Declan Rice who looked physically shattered throughout England’s 2-1 win over DR Congo. We then chat about how the price of the average midfielder has risen so highly with some high profile, high price deals going through this week, and how that might influence what the club need to do this summer. I also ask if this window needs Arsenal to make a ‘statement’ signing, such…
The reported arrangement gives Eddie Hearn’s promotional company more than just one event featuring one of boxing’s brightest young stars. Although Zayas suffered the first defeat of his professional career when Ennis stopped him in seven rounds, the 22-year-old remains one of the sport’s top prospects and is expected to continue as a major attraction. Having his next appearance promoted by Matchroom would give Hearn another opportunity to showcase the Puerto Rican contender. The reported agreement also helps explain how the Ennis-Zayas fight came together. Rather than limiting the deal to a one-fight co-promotion, Top Rank reportedly agreed to let…
