Tony Johnson reacts to All Blacks loss to Wallabies, red card controversy
A week after losing by a record margin to concede the Bledisloe Cup, Australia rebounded with a 24-22 win over New Zealand on Saturday to give Dave Rennie his first win as Wallabies head coach.It was described by some as a dead-rubber match, but there's no such thing when it comes to a trans-Tasman contest.A brutal first half contained two early tries and two red cards for dangerous tackles, ending with the score locked at 8-8 and New Zealand holding a one-man advantage with 14 against Australia's 13. The second half featured three tries — including one for each team in the last five minutes — and ended with 14 Wallabies on the field against 13 All Blacks.The New Zealanders clinched the Bledisloe Cup for the 18th consecutive season last weekend with a thumping 43-5 win in Sydney, giving them two big wins over the Wallabies after the series-opening 16-16 draw in Wellington. They made wholesale changes for the fourth Bledisloe test, which also doubled as the second in a Tri-Nations series that also involves Argentina.The Wallabies were leading 8-5 in the 23rd when New Zealand prop Ofa Tuungafasi was red carded after a review for a high tackle on Wright, who was making an angled run off the wing.It got worse for the Australians when rookie flanker Lachie Swinton was red carded in the 35th for a dangerous, no-arms hit on Sam Whitelock and then winger Marika Koroibete was yellow carded for a ruck infringement just before halftime.Sky Sport commentator Tony Johnson told Martin Devlin that referee Nick Berry showed guts by making the calls, as there should have been two red cards in last week's games."What is lacking is consistency. I think they are reffing far too much on outcome." Johnson says Swinton's red card was "open and shut" and there was malicious intent, but he says that intent never seems to factor in.

Tom Rennie on latest in the EPL; Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's future
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer began his childhood as Greco-Roman wrestler, following in his father's footsteps.Though he only trained between the ages of eight and 10, Solskjaer will need to apply everything he learned in those formative years as he attempts to wrestle back control of a Manchester United team that has woefully underperformed in recent matches.The beleaguered coach is under pressure following successive defeats to Arsenal and Istanbul Basaksehir, with a crucial Premier League clash against Everton coming up on Saturday.At Friday afternoon's virtual press conference, Solskjaer was asked whether he still remained confident of being able to deliver success to Manchester United."Yeah, why shouldn't I be?" he responded. "If I don't trust my belief and values and [my] staff's quality and players' quality, who else should?"Perhaps therein lies the problem. While Solskjaer might still believe in his abilities to take Manchester United back to the top, the list of other people who do appears to be getting shorter with each passing game.Vast sums of money spent badly by chief executive Ed Woodward means United's squad remains light years behind its top English and European rivals, but it's impossible to argue that Solskjaer shouldn't be getting more out of the players at his disposal.This, after all, is a side that last season reached the FA Cup and Europa League semifinals and finished third in the Premier League ahead of Chelsea and Leicester.While this season's results are no doubt concerning and have left United a lowly 15th in the Premier League, the actual performances on the pitch are arguably an even greater cause for concern.The defending for Istanbul Basaksehir's first goal in the midweek Champions League defeat was nothing short of comical -- and the second wasn't much better."You wouldn't see this on Hackney Marshes!" former United defender Rio Ferdinand lamented after the game. Such was United's ineptitude, that is surely an insult to the hundreds of talented amateur players who compete on the famous East London pitches every weekend.Hot and cold"I don't look at one or two results and fall like a house of cards," Solskjaer added. "It's a setback, definitely."There's been too much made of not scoring against Arsenal and Chelsea, there has been nothing in those games and it's not long ago we were the best thing since sliced bread against Leipzig and PSG."Solskjaer has a point. The Norwegian's time in charge has certainly been unusual, with his players turning in the kind of impressive performances they did against Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig in the Champions League just when it looks as though his job is on the line.However, that inconsistency -- which is perhaps the most baffling element of Solskjaer's reign -- will certainly do nothing to appease a group of fans that have suffered through mediocrity ever since Alex Ferguson retired as manager in 2013.After reports emerged earlier this week that Solskjaer would be sacked if United fail to beat Everton on Saturday, the club has since insisted that this weekend's result will have no bearing on its coach's future.Those British media reports indicated that the club is already eying up either former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino or Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann as potential replacements should Solskjaer be unable to turn things around.Despite the fevered speculation, the 47-year-old Solskjaer remains defiant that he retains the club's support."You have to have that belief," he said. [The] club have been very positive and shown me their character and strong leadership. I'm looking to Saturday morning, that's another matter we can talk about."In English football, that is known as the 'dreaded vote of confidence,' a phrase derived from the practice of clubs publicly supporting their beleaguered managers only to sack them soon...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chris Jones: England claim Six Nations crown
England ticked the boxes in beating Italy 34-5 with a bonus point on Sunday then had to wait before learning it was enough to be crowned Six Nations champions.France and Ireland both missed their chances to pip England in the final game of the tournament.Ireland could have won the title if they had beaten France by seven points.France also were in the hunt but it needed to beat Ireland by 32 points with a bonus point. They did get the bonus point but the 35-27 victory in Paris meant England had that title yet againIt is England's third title in five years but first since 2017.England did what it needed to do on a balmy evening at Stadio Olimpico but it wasn't the romp most predicted by a team which put 40-plus on Italy in its last three visits.England dominated again but played the first half poorly, kicking away possession 22 times, and led only 10-5. It was much more intense and accurate after the break in scoring four tries. Owen Farrell landed four of his six goalkicks, hitting the post twice."We've done our job," Farrell said. "I thought we went at them. But there was a large chunk of the first half when we couldn't get our hands on the ball, and we couldn't get our game on the field. We got the job done in the end."Scrumhalf Ben Youngs marked his 100th appearance with two tries and hooker Jamie George celebrated his 50th match with one of his own. Flanker Tom Curry got the all-important fourth with 13 minutes to go, and center Henry Slade added the last.But they came up against an Italy side that was spirited and awkward, and stayed in touch through the first half thanks to a try by English-born No. 8 Jake Polledri.Italy was outgunned in the end, and finished a fifth consecutive tournament without a win. Italy has lost a record 27 straight matches since its last win in 2015.Things appeared to be going to plan when England scored the first try in the fifth minute. Farrell benefited from a decoy run to slice open the Italy defense and send Youngs to the posts.But prop Kyle Sinckler spilled the ball, Italy's Carlo Canna pounced, and Polledri scored in the corner.England flanker Jonny Hill, on debut, then went to the sin-bin for a dangerous tackle on Edoardo Padovani but Italy couldn't take advantage.Polledri was issued a yellow card for a professional foul just before halftime, and Italy thought it scored, but Federico Mori lost a chase against England fullback George Furbank.England returned from the break with much-needed greater intent, and Youngs scored again after a Hill chargedown.Polledri came back to even up the forwards, but England's pack blew through Italy's to carry George over in a maul.The all-important fourth try was delivered after England earned a scrum penalty and went for an attacking lineout. Curry went blind from a ruck and went untouched into the left corner. Relieved, Eddie Jones left the sideline to return to the coaches' box.Slade finished the scoring with a try from a Farrell grubber.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Johnathan Thurston: NRL Grand Final- Storm vs Panthers
It is NRL Grand Final day in Sydney today which kicks off at 9.30 pm our time.With the unexpected year 2020 has been it is a real shining light that the NRL Grand Final goes ahead today.Chairman of the Australian Rugby League Commission Peter V'landys, fought through the Covid-19 pandemic and lead the NRL to be one of the first competitions to resume after the first initial lockdown crisis.One of Rugby League’s most iconic players Johnathan Thurston joined Mark Devlin to talk about the biggest day in the NRL calendar.Thurston lead the North Queensland Cowboys to glory in 2015 winning their maiden premiership by one point… in golden point! Johnathan Thurston. Photo / Getty Images. He says the experience of the Melbourne Storm players and their attacking weapons on the edges may create a huge impact for the Victorians against the red hot Penrith Panthers.Thurston has no doubt that the two best teams of this year are playing in the Grand Final.He talked about the likes of power house Justin Olam and speedster Josh Addo-Carr on the left edge of Melbourne, which completely blew the Canberra Raiders off the park last week.The former halfback also says that the left edge of the Panthers are as deadly and enthusiastic with the likes of x-factor Jarome Luai and skilful young gun Stephen Crichton out playing experienced NRL players in their first full year in the competition.With the speculations of Cameron Smith retiring JT certainly hopes ‘the best player in the game’ play on next year.JT told Devlin that he thinks the Panthers lack big game experience and expects the Storm to take out this year’s competition.“I think the big game experience will get the Melbourne Storm home in the end.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chris Bower: Iga Swiatek beats Sofia Kenin at French Open for first grand slam title
Not even a grand slam champion who has carved out a reputation for being one of the top competitors around could stop a surging Iga Swiatek in the French Open final.Swiatek raced to her first major and became Poland's first grand slam singles winner thanks to a 6-4, 6-1 victory in Paris over Sofia Kenin, who said she was hindered by a lingering leg injury."I just feel like I kind of made history but I still think that (Agnieszka) Radwanska, she achieved a lot because she played on the top level of the WTA for, I don't know, 12 years," Swiatek said, referring to the recently retired 2012 Wimbledon finalist and top 10 regular. "I don't even know the number."I know there's going to be a lot of people who is going to compare us. But I think I have to be really consistent for the next couple years to everybody to name me like the best player in Poland because still I have a lot to do."But for now, Swiatek also became the first female to win the tournament without dropping a set since Justine Henin in 2007 and the youngest champion in southwest Paris since her favorite player, Rafael Nadal.The Spaniard was also 19 in 2005."Every year I was watching how Rafa lifts the trophy so it's crazy that I am in the same place," Swiatek said during the trophy presentation.Another accolade?At No. 54, no women's player had ever been ranked as low and cradled the trophy.If her junior career is anything to go by, none of this should be a massive surprise.Swiatek triumphed in the Wimbledon juniors in 2018, a few weeks after capturing the junior doubles title at Roland Garros.Sports run in her family, as her dad represented Poland in rowing at the Olympics in Seoul in 1988. He was in attendance Saturday along with other family and the player's sports psychologist, whose birthday it was.The one thing missing was her cat."I'm so happy," Swiatek. "And I'm so glad my family was here finally.""It's just overwhelming for me. Two years ago I won a junior grand slam and right now I'm here. It's been like such a short time."Swiatek is good friends with Naomi Osaka, who upped her grand slam tally to three by winning the US Open last month. She is an aggressive player like her pal, seeking to dictate with her powerful, heavily spun forehand.Fast starts have been a hallmark of her play in Paris and seemingly without any nerves in her first major final, she duly took a 3-0 lead. Maybe her pre-match song, 'Welcome to the Jungle' by rock band Guns N'Roses, has helped, although she did admit the nerves were there.Mostly sunny conditions greeted the players in fall temperatures of around 15 degrees Celsius after the event shifted its date from late May due to the coronavirus pandemic.It was the sixth time in her seven outings Swiatek led by a break prior to the first sit down, including when she stunned pre-tournament favorite Simona Halep in the fourth round.But the gutsy Australian Open champion did mount a comeback.Kenin broke to stay in the set for 4-5 with a sizzling backhand return, only to drop serve immediately.The American broke serve to start the second but once again the response was immediate from Swiatek.Already sporting tape to her left leg, Kenin took a medical timeout at 1-2 and returned with heavy strapping but it did little to change her fortunes."She obviously played a really good match," the 21-year-old said. "She's, like, really hot right now, playing some really great tennis."I'm not going to use this as an excuse, but my leg obviously was not the best. It's obviously disappointing."Even if she was fully healthy, Swiatek would have been difficult to stop.During the medical timeout, some fans in attendance -- they were capped at 1,000 -- gave Swiatek yet more encouragement.Swiatek sealed the contest in one hour, 24 minutes with a 25th winner -- compared to only 17 unforced errors --...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nic Mills: Wellington not feeling the effects of first rugby test match
All Blacks fans may be excited the team is playing again, but one Wellington bar owner says that it doesn't feel like they are.The All Blacks faced the Wallabies in Wellington today at Sky Stadium, in their first match all year.However, the benefits of a test match are not visible on the ground, with the game the first since 2012 not to sell out. Nic Mills told Martin Devlin there was no influx of people, and that it just felt like a normal Saturday after Covid."Cuba Street at 11pm last night was as dead as a doornail."He says that the officials got it wrong putting the test on a Sunday afternoon - and if it should have been an afternoon, they should have done it on a Saturday.Mills says that some of the establishments that he owns are not opening today, as they do not see the point. "It's wrong - it's great for sport, fantastic for rugby, but if you were trying to help hospitality that really needs some help, you would have played it Saturday afternoon."LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rising star Caleb Clarke on what training is like as an All Black
Caleb Clarke's utilising the vast experiences on offer from New Zealand's best players in his first All Blacks camp.The rising winger was named in coach Ian Foster's first squad last month following a standout season with the Blues in Super Rugby.Clarke told Martin Devlin one of the biggest things he's learned in 'Camp All Blacks' is the professionalism."Getting to room with someone like Aaron Smith, it's all the small things that really matter when it comes to being a professional. Like timing, looking after the body."Also the importance of learning your role, as the All Blacks is one big machine." He says he's nit-picked his game and noticed some areas in need of improvement, mainly his work off the ball."I always watch myself and see what I do and sometimes I feel like I can just get off my wing and run off. "And also connections with my inside, whoever that centre is, or loose forward is on defence."

Tom Rennie: Manchester United scores 100th-minute penalty to secure dramatic win over Brighton
Manchester United got its first Premier League points of the season thanks to a 100th-minute penalty from Bruno Fernandes to finally win 3-2 in an enthralling game against Brighton and Hove Albion.Brighton opened the scoring, a coolly finished Neal Maupay penalty giving the hosts the lead before Lewis Dunk put the ball into his own net to level the scores just before half-time.Marcus Rashford's solo goal put United on top, and Brighton thought it had snatched a dramatic late draw thanks to Solly March's header before Fernandes' penalty, 10 minutes after the 90-minute mark.While it eventually secured the win, Manchester United lived on the edge, with Brighton hitting the woodwork five times during the game and had one awarded penalty overruled by video assistant referee (VAR) and another potential one waved away by the referee."We left so much space for them to play, we were not as aggressive, we gave away two goals" Fernandes told BT Sport after the game. "We have to do much better."Brighton did very well but maybe because we are not aggressive as we want. We need to recover more balls, press better, lose less possession. Maybe they deserved more. The point is score goals not hit the bar. Sometimes you have to have some luck."An up and down affairAfter being surprised by Crystal Palace last week, Manchester United was hoping to make a more positive start on the south of England against Brighton.But it was the home side who made the brighter sight, as with Leandro Trossard smashing the ball against David de Gea's left post -- the Belgian midfielder would go onto hit the woodwork twice more.In the opening two games of the season, the woodwork has stopped as many shots for Manchester United's opponents this season as goalkeeper de Gea."Unbelievable, the feeling I can't describe, we were the better team today," Trossard said. "We deserved at least a point, it's a shame. Sometimes it's just not your day."And Brighton eventually made the pressure count -- only after Mason Greenwood had a goal ruled out for offside -- as Maupay chipped the penalty, which was awarded for Fernandes' foul on the exciting Tariq Lamptey, past the despairing de Gea.It took United just three minutes to equalize though, with Dunk only able to deflect home a cross from Nemanja Matic. After half-time, Rashford's mazy run and finish gave the Manchester side the lead.However in the 95th minute, Brighton thought it has won a point right at the death, as March headed in a cross from Alireza Jahanbakhsh. But an even later penalty, spotted and awarded via VAR after the on-field official Chris Kavanagh had blown to signal the end of the match, was smashed into the top corner by Fernandes.Fernandes' goal at 99:45 minutes is the latest scored in the Premier League since Juan Mata's strike for Chelsea against Norwich in August 2011, scored in 100:03 minutes.The result would be even more painful for Brighton as it had a penalty of its own overturned by VAR in the second half, after Aaron Connolly was adjudged to have been fouled by Paul Pogba, only for referee Chris Kavanagh to change his mind."We got away with one. Maybe one point we deserved, we didn't deserve more. But the character deserved more" Man Utd boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer told BT Sport."Last season we had too many draws, so that is a big plus for us. You have to be happy Jose is not here to measure the goal posts."They are a difficult team to play against. We don't have the legs and sharpness, but we will get there. We have plenty of work ahead."text by Ben Morse, CNNSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
