Why Michael Cheika is the perfect man to lead Wallabies to the World Cup -‘ready to walk into fire’
Having been proved right on the last two coach calls for Australia (hell no to Eddie Jones and yes to Joe Schmidt) before fashionable, allow me to make a credible case for Michael Cheika to be Wallabies’ head man again.Cheika should assume control of the Wallabies for two seasons, encompassing a home World Cup.Australia cannot afford to go out early in 2027. ‘Early’ is redefined in a home Cup: making a semifinal is the minimum. Just qualifying for knockouts is not enough. The pressure on hosts, as we saw in 2015 in England and 2023 in France, is intensified from any…

The Brooklyn Nets are 20-34 coming out of the all-star break. Out of their last 10 games, the team is 6-4 and has won three straight. Brooklyn has been competitive this season while losing enough games to have a lottery pick. Last offseason, Brooklyn made a deal to send Mikal Bridges to the Knicks. In return, the Nets received a massive package of players and picks. One player they acquired from New York was veteran Bojan Bogdanovic. He had surgery last April and has yet to make his season debut in 2024-25. ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that Bogdanovic needs season-ending…

If they were a country they would have been 16th in gold medals, and 21st in overall medals at the 2024 Olympic Games. Last night, they further cemented their undeniable dominance in swimming by breaking their final NCAA relay record with their 6:44.13 swim in the 800 freestyle relay. This time was almost two seconds faster than the 6:45.91 mark set by Stanford back in 2017. The NCAA record was not…
Hi all, as of right now I have no further information about our site, and I am assuming we will be unable to offer the game for 2025. But! If you stop by our Reddit page there is discussion of potential alternatives. I apologize for this mess, I thought we had an understanding about keeping the game going, but I guess not.

I really enjoyed the closeout period with the Cafe, all the…

The women’s event at Queen’s ceased in 1973, with the Eastbourne tournament founded the following year and becoming a fixture of the women’s grass court season.The revived Queen’s will run as a WTA 500 tournament and as part of a two-week event with the traditional men’s competition.Unlike Wimbledon, which has awarded prize money equally between its men’s and women’s draws since 2007, the men’s tournament will have a substantially higher prize pot of $2.5m (£2.1m), than the $1.1m (£0.9m) available to the women.This is set by the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) and the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Tours and…
