The 10 Best Half-Back Pairings in Rugby History

They are the men who plot their side’s course through a match. The scrum half and fly half, No. 9 and No. 10 or, if you’re a New Zealander, a first five-eighth. The half-backs provide the brains to the brawn smashing lumps out of each other all around them. Their performances, above all others, can determine the outcome of a contest, and when their understanding is on a par with the 10... 

Leonardo DiCaprio’s Involvement in Formula E Is Not Just a Publicity Stunt

Just what is it about male Hollywood actors and a love for fast cars? James Dean, Steve McQueen and James Garner set the ball rolling. All enjoyed varying degrees of success in their privateer racing careers before Paul Newman transferred his passion as a driver to become one of one of the most successful U.S. racing team owners.

Have We Seen the Last of the Tiger Woods Mystique?

At the apex of his historic career, Tiger Woods was a cold-blooded Sunday assassin with the final-round lead in hand. Clad in red and armed with intimidating talent, the game’s most dominant golfer had the majority of his opponents beaten before stepping onto the first tee, and the rest bested very soon thereafter. His death stares, clutch putts and unbelievable shot-making shattered challengers’... 

FC Copenhagen vs. Real Madrid: 6 Things We Learned from Champions League Clash

Real Madrid beat Copenhagen 2-0 in their visit to Parken Stadium and stretched their unbeaten streak to six games in this year’s UEFA Champions League . It was a particularly special game for Los Blancos.

The Biggest Hits in World Rugby This Week: Heineken Cup Delivers Brutal Blows

The Heineken Cup brings together Europe’s finest outfits, so it seems only suitable that the continent’s highest quality collisions come from the biggest of tournaments north of the equator. This week, Castres and Ospreys may not have been able to light up the park in terms of attacking pedigree, but more than made up for a lack of tries with an incredibly physical game fraught with foul...

6 F1 World Champions Who Would Have Lost Their Title Under Double Points Rule

The controversial new ruling that double points will now be awarded in the final race of the season has already met with a great deal of criticism. Whereas with the old ruling, the most consistent driver over the course of the season invariably comes away champion, the new regulation means that a driver can still come from a long way back in the final race and snatch the title. Thankfully, this absurd... 

Formula 1’s Double Points Rule Damages the Credibility of the Sport

Formula One will award double the amount of points in the final race of the season in an attempt to increase the interest right up until the season finale.

Formula 1 Sells Its Soul with Double Points Gimmick

Formula One has sold its soul to the God of Tacky Gimmicks. The FIA has announced that from 2014 onwards, the final race of the year will award double points in an attempt to keep title races alive right to the end of the season. That’s right folks.
