In the Premier League’s shifting landscape, this struggling team can no longer carry a winger lacking straight-line pace and a goal threatJack Grealish is prowling.

Grealish slips quietly down the tunnel. Continue reading...

Rugby is massive in France, on a par with football, and bigger in the southern half of the country. It creates a different kind of animal.Northampton were proud, brave, inventive – but in the end overpowered. The narrative was wild and, Saints might say, liable to have gone either way.
