Joel Tomkins—brother of rugby league star Sam Tomkins—is set to make his Test debut for England after being named in Stuart Lancaster’s starting XV for this weekend’s clash with Australia.  Tomkins’ decision to switch disciplines from league to union in 2011 appears to have been a good one.

Dream World Cup Group-Stage Draw for the United States

Go ahead and admit it now—you have been aimlessly using World Cup draw simulators to try and find the ideal group for the United States to play in next summer in Brazil.  You are not alone if you have, and if you have not done so, I recommend wasting a few minutes of your time trying to figure out the best group possible for Jurgen Klinsmann’s crew.  When you look at the... 

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Talent Must Be Maximized by National Team

Portugal never really do things the easy way. Do they? When Paulo Bento’s side face off against Sweden on Nov. 15, it will mark the third major championships in a row in which they have been forced down the play-off route.
