Spain may be awash with football mania once more, but it is also primed for lift-off in rugby.Perhaps the most significant result during a busy Test weekend was Spain’s 29-20 win over Tonga in Nuku’alofa. While the hosts were chronically limited, Los Leones had come close to upsetting Samoa in Apia six days earlier, so there is no doubting that they are on the rise, despite the savage setback of being thrown out of the last World Cup, as excessive punishment for fielding an ineligible player in qualifying.Hours after their…

We can fight bareknuckle. Look at me. I lost to Jake Paul. Why don’t you go fight Jake Paul and box him with the gloves on.
