    Manchester City’s ‘sham’ deals leave Premier League in uncharted territory (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The scale of Manchester City’s financial chicanery, which has been called a “sham”, 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 doesn’t 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 Trophies that are now forever tainted and might still be retrospectively rescinded.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 Springboks’ rearguard to secure famous Perth win (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    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 Springboks’ air supremacy in Perth showdown (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Wallaby coach Les Kiss has selected the 1.96-metre Joseph-Aukuso Sua’ali’i at wing to face the Springboks in Perth on Sunday. It’s a sign of how dominant the Springboks’ contestable kicking game has become that Australia coach Les Kiss has selected perhaps his best centre out of position at left wing to combat the world champions. Joseph-Aukuso Sua’ali’i 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)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    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 Africa’s 68th Test skipper. The giant, hard-run

    Serial winners, underrated captain – the Springboks’ curious status after beating the All Blacks (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    After a slow start, the Springboks deservedly won the Rugby’s 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 men’s cricket team, the dominant Mercedes F1 team and the mighty All
