show moreComing to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian, in the middle of the blue continent.
In Rugby Union: Argentina 33-25 France in Buenos Aires yesterday.
France won the first Test in Mendoza last week, but the victory was soon overshadowed by scandals.
Two players were arrested on Monday following the first Test and formally charged on Friday with the rape and assault of a 39-year-old Argentine woman at their team hotel.
The pair denied the accusation and claim that their sexual relations with the woman were consensual.
Another player was sent home, following racist comments he made in a video on social media.
In Rugby League: Manly Sea Eagles trashed the Newcastle Knights 6-44 at Brookvale Oval yesterday, to rocket back into the Top 8.
It was one-way traffic from the opening whistle, but the highlight was a piece of individual brilliance from Manly teenager Lehi Hopoate, who bagged a double in the second half, to cap a stellar night, while first-time skipper Tom Trbojevic was sublime at the back.
Newcastle were without ORIGIN stars, Kalyn Ponga, Bradman Best and Dane Gagai, and it showed as the visitors were shredded on the edges all night.
In Netball: The Adelaide Thunderbirds won the Super Netball minor premiership, with a hard-fought 64-62 win over the Sunshine Coast Lightning yesterday, in their bid for back-to-back Super Netball titles.
So the Lightning head to Perth for a do-or-die elimination final with the West Coast Fever, who claimed their finals berth after beating the Melbourne Mavericks 57-76.
The Melbourne Vixens ran out 62-52 winners over the embattled Queensland Firebirds to set up a thrilling preliminary final with the Adelaide Thunderbirds.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the ladder, the NSW Swifts avoided becoming just the second team in Super Netball history, to go from grand finalists to wooden spooners, after claiming a thrilling 72-71 win over the Giants in their Sydney Derby.
In Football: So Gareth Southgate will not be knighted by King Charles after all!
This after Spain beat England 1-2 in the Final of EURO2024 at Olympiastadion in Berlin, Germany a short while ago.
Our other World Famous Tip for the Grand Final of the Copa América at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami was for Argentina to crunchygranola Colombia.
At Wimbledon: With a performance of rare brilliance, Carlos Alcaraz defended a major title for the first time in his exceptional career when routing Serbian legend, Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon Men’s Singles Final overnight 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 in 2hours 27minutes, swiftly enough to ensure he had ample time to settle in for his nation’s EURO2024 final against England.
Alcaraz is now walking with the greats of all time; joining his idol Rafael Nadal as the only Spanish men to win Wimbledon twice and Bjorn Borg and Boris Becker as players to win multiple titles at the All England Lawn Tennis Club by the age of 21.
He also joins Roger Federer as the only man in the Open era to win their first four major titles and Borg, Becker and Mats Wilander as four-time major winners at his current age.
In Combat Sports: Australian WBC Featherweight World Champion Skye Nicolson remains undefeated with a dominant win over Dyana Vargas in Philadelphia.
The 28-year-old retained her title with a clean sweep of 100-90 on all the cards.
Now 11-0 as a professional, next stop for the Commonwealth Games gold medalist - the WBA, IBF and WBO World Champion Amanda Serrano.
In the Olympic Games: French Minister of Sports Amélie Oudéa-Castéra took a symbolic dip in the Seine on Saturday in a bid to ease concerns about water quality before the start of the Paris Olympic Games.
Dressed in a wetsuit, the Minister swam a few metres near the Alexandre III bridge, where the Olympic open water swimming competition will be held.
“We held our promise,” she said to BFMTV, referring to an earlier pledge to swim in the Seine before the Games begin on 26 July.
The Minister was accompanied by Alexis Hanquinquant, the Paralympic flag bearer for France.
Swimming in the Seine was banned in 1923
Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo also plans to swim in the Seine to prove its cleanliness.
And in February, French President Emmanuel Macron promised to take a dip, too. But he added: “I’m not going to give you the date.”
Just as well given that he may not be President for much longer!
That’s a wrap peeps!
