3 h. ago Is it better to be occasionally brilliant or consistently good? Ask the Wallabies | Daniel Gallan

Australia show flashes of greatness, but costly collapses threaten the idea of a revival. They need to find their rhythmIs it better to be a consistently good team or an occasionally brilliant one? We’ll find out by the end of Australia’s European tour. But now, after a 26–19 loss to Italy in Udine – their second defeat in as many matches on this crucial trip – the answer seems obvious. Because despite the Wallabies’ flashes of brilliance throughout the Joe Schmidt era, their inability to deliver steadily could yet prove costly.At present, the Wallabies are ranked seventh on World Rugby’s charts. If that doesn’t change, the hosts of the 2027 World Cup will be drawn alongside one of the top six teams in the group phase. Even if they progress, Australia would likely face another stiff challenge at the first knockout stage. That’s not the kind of jeopardy a rugby nation of this pedigree should be flirting with.

6 h. ago Overhauls on hold as fixture squeeze sees has Liverpool and City playing it safe | Jonathan Wilson

With time limited by a packed calendar, only incremental change is possible, pausing transitions for Slot and GuardiolaTime is the enemy of all modern managers. There simply isn’t enough of it. The calendar is too packed, the demands on players too great and, just because there is something almost hypocritical about managers moaning about the number of games they have to play when the fixture list is a direct result of the greed of the clubs they work for, that doesn’t mean their fundamental point is not a valid one.Transition is always difficult, particularly when it involves not only a change of players but of style. Arsenal may have brought in more players than Liverpool this summer, but it would require a particular obtuseness to think that bolstering and finessing a system that already fundamentally works is a source of greater disruption than implementing an almost entirely new style.

Lynne Besant met Paul as a teenager. After 40 years apart, she discovered she still had feelings for himFind more stories from the moment I knew seriesIn the mid-60s, my family followed my father’s work to a caravan park in Gladstone, central Queensland. He worked in construction and the sprawling transient accommodation for the hundreds of families who’d relocated to build an aluminium plant became our home. I was going on 16 and sulking about having to change schools, again. Then I met Paul.Back in those days people made their own fun. We often had huge parties at the caravan park, and Paul, an apprentice electrician, would volunteer to rig up the lighting. Continue reading...

8 h. ago West Ham edge past Burnley to lift gloom after fans fume at ownership

Despair and rancour stalks the concrete corridors of the place that still feels nothing like home for West Ham. Though hope is not yet extinguished. A second home win in succession for Nuno Espírito Santo’s team, the key goal scored by old faithful Tomas Soucek. The defeat of a fellow relegation contender in Burnley may prove vital in the fight against the London Stadium staging Championship football next season. When Soucek’s shot was spilled into Kyle Walker-Peters path for the Hammers’ third, home fans were singing lustily for their team.They already made it known once again, and in no uncertain terms, what they think of the executives running the club. Following a protest against Crystal Palace, boycotting of the Brentford game, a sit-in against Newcastle, unhappy supporters staged a march. A banner declared “15 years of denying West Ham United”. The service road that surrounds the stadium was filled with thousands of protestors, the entrance for club directors’ luxury cars was ...
