England held on for a nail-biting 21-20 victory over South Africa in the final of the IRB Junior World Championship at Eden Park, New Zealand. It was a tight game both on the scoreboard and in the way it was played, as each team looked to go too wide with the ball and space was at a premium. The English did their damage in the 10 minutes either side of halftime, notching up 18 of their points during...

Formula One returns to Austria for the first time since 2003 this weekend for the eighth round of the season after a dramatic Canadian Grand Prix last time out. Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo finally broke the Mercedes deadlock in Montreal two weeks ago, his maiden win making him the first victor of the season not named Lewis Hamilton or Nico Rosberg. However, Rosberg’s second place...

Wales arrive in Nelspruit battered and bruised both physically and mentally after their humbling at the hands of South Africa last week. Warren Gatland’s men were destroyed 38-16 in a five-try mauling by the Springboks, and their Kiwi coach will be looking for a response from his players. Wales have never beaten South Africa on their home soil and it would seem unlikely that they can turn that...

The 2014 Formula One Austrian Grand Prix marks the return of the sport to Austria for the first time since 2003. Only four of the current drivers have driven F1 cars around the Red Bull Ring. Fernando Alonso is one of them, and he revealed this week he hopes to compete at Le Mans once his F1 career is over. But it seems unlikely his current team, Ferrari, will be joining him. Elsewhere, Lewis Hamilton...

The World No. 2 had been set to face Dutchman Robin Haase in an exhibition match at the Boodles Tennis Challenge in Stoke Park, a regular feature of the Serb’s Wimbledon preparation. However, his withdrawal...

France will be looking to claim a consolation victory over Australia at the Allianz Stadium in Sydney on Saturday after the three-match Test series was put beyond them last weekend. The Wallabies destroyed Les Bleus 50-23 in the first Test and then claimed the series in a dire Melbourne outing which Australia won 6-0. The third and final Test of the series will hopefully be a vast improvement on that...

England have little else but pride left to fight for in their trip to Hamilton on Saturday, having already suffered two Test defeats to the All Blacks and surrendered the summer series to Steve Hansen’s giants. However, that won’t leave Stuart Lancaster any less determined to leave an imprint on the reigning world champions before his side depart New Zealand, with 80 minutes of elite rugby...

Wales will be looking to put in a much-improved performance when they take on South Africa in the second Test in Nelspruit on Saturday. Warren Gatland‘s side were outplayed in the first Test in Durban as they were downed 38-16 for their heaviest defeat to the Springboks since 2008. The game was out of reach from the early stages and, despite Wales not conceding a point in the final 29 minutes,...
