In what is proving to be a wonderful summer of sport, the decision to rename Twickenham to Allianz Stadium feels like an almighty blow. It is one I was surprised and saddened to learn of. The reason for doing it is obvious. Money.The RFU badly needs cash. It’s required to support the community game, to fund its new elite player contracts, to give the women’s game the support it richly deserves and to mobilise a rugby sevens programme capable of winning Olympic gold. It’s needed to drive England’s age group sides and deliver a pipeline of talent, to generate more…

Rudy Gobert is dealing with an undisclosed left ring finger injury, he revealed following France’s win over Canada on Tuesday. Gobert played just three minutes in the game for “several reasons.” “There were several reasons why I didn’t play, between the matchups but also what can happen in training, with the injuries,” said Gobert.

Alexa Grasso lost a head-to-head matchup with Valentina Shevchenko, but her team came out on top on this week’s episode of The Ultimate Fighter 32. Shevchenko handily beat Grasso in this season’s Coaches Challenge, this time comprised of a basketball shooting contest, only to see her lone featherweight semifinalist fall in disappointing fashion. Team Grasso’s Kaan Ofli (10-2-1) barely needed a minute to secure a guillotine choke on Team Bullet’s Roedie Roets (7-1) and advance to the TUF 32 finals. Australia’s Ofli was well-prepared for Roets’ wrestling, which was on full display just seconds in as Roets immediately tackled Ofli…

Paris, however, was different. The Australian squad of Glaetzer, Matthew Richardson and Leigh Hoffman lined up at Vélodrome National de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines to take on the home town favourites of France, who had beat them to bronze in Tokyo, but this time they turned the tables. Australia claimed bronze and finally Glaetzer had the…
