57 minutes ago South Africa condemn Wales to 12th straight defeat to leave Gatland on brink

Wales 12-45 South AfricaSpringboks score seven tries without reaching top gearAnother week, another record defeat. This time Wales went down 45-12 to South Africa, which is the worst beating they’ve ever had from them in a home game. It’s their 12th straight defeat, at the fag end of a year in which they’ve lost every single game they have played.The worst thing about this one was that they played pretty well, in a way.

58 minutes ago Southampton are doomed but it’s clear why Russell Martin will not change | Jonathan Wilson

Few managers are idealists but the truth for the man in charge at St Mary’s is that his players aren’t good enough to stay upThere has, at least, been a win to break the pattern.

88 minutes ago The Observer view: Selling a piece of fruit for £4m isn’t bananas, it’s decadent. Art is better than this

The sale of Maurizio Cattelan’s work, Comedian, to a crypto entrepreneur is a grim concept that has little to do with disruptionPaulina Brandberg, the Swedish minister for gender equality and work life, has a phobia of bananas so severe, her aides check rooms for the fruit before she’s due to enter them.
