We are down to just two. The Chiefs and the Sharks will contest the 2012 Super 15 final in Hamilton next weekend after two tightly contested semifinals.

It is this that is so often the difference between the top teams, and so, it proved once again. Chiefs...

Although they qualified for the knockout stages of the women’s football event, Brazil were made to work hard for their 1-0 victory. I am aware that their goal came in the 86th minute from Cristiane, but I’m going to focus on the performance of their talismanic striker, Marta. She’s already racked up a list of impressive achievements throughout her career and she’s looking to...

The first day of the 2012 Summer Olympics has ended at the All-England Club, and Roger Federer has come out victorious. He played a solid first two sets but then allowed his game to get unusually shaky. His opponent, Alejandro Falla of Colombia, was quick to capitalize on the opportunities.

Lewis is playing much better in this tournament, after disappointing performances at the US Women’s Open and the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship. She is currently tied for the lead with Inbee Park after three rounds. Lewis certainly has...

Now that the European season has ended and the summer tours are over, we have a few months to wait until the action returns. As the professionals get on with the hard work of preseason training, my thoughts have turned to the 2013 Lions tour in Australia.

Roger Federer‘s 6-3, 5-7, 6-3 win over Colombia’s Alejandro Falla in the first round of the 2012 Olympics tennis was full of shaky drama and momentum for the Swiss Maestro’s fans. For the first half of the match, everything went according to script with Federer’s easy-going efficiency. Then trouble struck, and the match was on. Perhaps a bizarre foreshadowing was cast with the...

After nearly three days of play at British Senior, Fred Couples is in position to win. American favorites Mark Calcavecchia, Tom Lehman and Tom Watson have all seemingly played themselves out of contention. Watson posted a four-under today, but his efforts are a little too late. He currently sits well behind current leader Bernhard Langer, who is beginning to pull away from the pack. Lehman fell out...
