5 d. ago Dingwall backed to plot course through the midfield maze for England

Steve Borthwick has opted for the Northampton centre, his ‘glue’ player, over an array of talented England backsEven Steve Borthwick admits that picking his team to face Australia on Saturday was tricky. And even after he had made his mind up, there was a training ground snapshot which underlined the slim margins involved. “There was a piece of play where the skill showed by the team not starting was absolutely incredible,” said Borthwick. “I couldn’t praise them highly enough for the way they tested the team that is starting.”Which neatly sums up England’s intensifying backline debate. Ollie Lawrence, Marcus Smith, Henry Arundell, Henry Slade, Cadan Murley and Max Ojomoh are all fit and can’t even make the matchday 23. Not to mention the up-and-coming Noah Caluori.

Kushner’s investment firm is backed by three Arab petrostates critical to the Gaza agreement. And the deals keep comingIn Donald Trump’s first term, his son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner was omnipresent. He worked on criminal justice reform, Covid-19 vaccine development and modernizing technology across federal agencies. His portfolio extended to foreign policy, as he brokered a new North American trade agreement and negotiated peace deals in the Middle East. But when Trump returned to the White House in January, Kushner stayed out of the limelight and declined to take a formal role in the administration.A few weeks ago, Kushner re-emerged as a central player behind Trump’s peace plan for Gaza, which so far has achieved a ceasefire, an exchange of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners and a partial withdrawal of Israeli forces from the territory. Kushner took a victory lap, as Trump and others in the US administration gave him significant credit for helping negotiate ...

Broncos beat Roosters 22-18 in spiteful grand final at Accor StadiumMele Hufanga awarded Karyn Murphy Medal as player of matchThe Brisbane Broncos overcame a valiant Sydney Roosters comeback to secure their fourth NRLW premiership with a 22-18 victory in a see-sawing and spiteful grand final marked by sickening collisions and a shoving match at the final whistle.The Broncos were fortunate in having the crucial, match-winning try awarded by the video referee, after Mele Hufanga appeared to be held up by Jasmin Strange and Olivia Kernick. With just four minutes left, the Broncos centre – who was named Karyn Murphy Medallist for player of the match – grounded the ball to push her side into the lead. Although the try was awarded, the slow motion replay was far from conclusive. Continue reading...
