Manchester Cityâs âshamâ deals leave Premier League in uncharted territory (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The scale of Manchester Cityâs financial chicanery, which has been called a âshamâ, was laid bare by the English Premier League and has thrown the game into an unprecedented crisis. Guilty on all charges of breaching financial rules doesnât even begin to describe the systemic scale of deceit Manchester City Football Club practised while filling a room with trophies. Trophies that are now forever tainted and might still be retrospectively rescinded. On Tuesday, 29 September the Premier Le
Eleven-man Wallabies resist Springboksâ rearguard to secure famous Perth win (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Wallabies survived four yellow cards to beat the Springboks 42-38 (halftime 24-17) in Perth on Sunday. The Springboks came up just short of pulling off the heist of the season, scoring 21 unanswered points in a frenetic final 10 minutes against Australia in Perth, to suffer their second loss of the season. In truth, the Wallabies were the better team for most of the match and were deserved winners as they reclaimed the Mandela Plate for the first time since 2022. It was only in the final 15
Wallabies set to challenge Springboksâ air supremacy in Perth showdown (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Wallaby coach Les Kiss has selected the 1.96-metre Joseph-Aukuso Suaâaliâi at wing to face the Springboks in Perth on Sunday.

Joseph-Aukuso Suaâaliâi has started 22 of his 24 previous Tests at centre, and his other two appearances were off the bench. But he is a fine athlete and h
Swiss Army knife Esterhuizen becomes ninth new Springbok captain in Rassie era (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Utility player André Esterhuizen will become the 68th man to lead the Springboks in a Test when they take on the Wallabies in Perth on Sunday. Centre, flank, hybrid and now captain. André Esterhuizen wears many caps in the Springbok squad and the latest is reward for his selflessness and team-first attitude. On Tuesday, coach Rassie Erasmus revealed that Esterhuizen would captain the Boks against the Wallabies in Perth on Sunday, becoming South Africaâs 68th Test skipper. The giant, hard-run
Serial winners, underrated captain â the Springboksâ curious status after beating the All Blacks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After a slow start, the Springboks deservedly won the Rugbyâs Greatest Rivalry series 3-1 against the All Blacks. Outside South Africa, though, the Boks are still not universally loved. The price of being the best team in the world is that no one loves a serial winner except die-hard fans of that team. The dislike and envy can be extreme, especially in the social media age. When peak Manchester United, the prime Australian menâs cricket team, the dominant Mercedes F1 team and the mighty All
