4 d. ago Jim Ratcliffe has returned to Nice and they are struggling again

A pattern familiar to Manchester United fans is emerging at Nice: every time the owners intervene results start to tankBy Get French Football NewsWhat if correlation did imply causation? The “best season” of Ineos’s ownership of Nice correlated with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and co being forcibly distanced from the club due to Uefa regulations. “They have been so much better without our interference,” admitted Ratcliffe last season, as Nice achieved their highest league finish since 2017. With Nice and Manchester United no longer competing in the same European competition, Ineos regained operational control of the French club at the start of the summer and have only corroborated Ratcliffe’s previous assertion.Already out of the Champions League at the first hurdle having been outplayed by Benfica in the qualifiers at the start of August, Nice have lost three of their first six games in Ligue 1 as well as losing their Europa League opener against Roma last Wednesday. “We can’t say that we’re...

4 d. ago A new start after 60: I rented out my flat and bought a bike. Now home is a tent and the open road

Sarah Cook has pedalled more than 24,000 miles in the seven years since she left England for the US and beyond. She has no plans to stopWhen the urge became impossible to ignore, Sarah Cook bought a touring bike and an “all-singing, all-dancing four-season tent”, and packed her belongings into 68-litre bike bags.She was 60, and, having rented out her flat in Cumbria, England, set off alone to pedal the Pacific west coast of the US. As she cycled away from Vancouver airport, “I was like ‘See you in six months!’,” Cook says. “Not having the weight of bricks and mortar and possessions was so liberating.” By the time she arrived in La Paz, Bolivia, 111 days later, she knew, “this is how I want to live my life.” Now 67, she has been itinerant ever since, and has cycled 24,000 miles.Tell us: has your life taken a new direction after the age of 60?

1 week ago Twickenham stage set for England to deliver fairytale finish and lasting legacy

An epic end is in sight for the Women’s Rugby World Cup, with an 82,000 crowd ready to roar on the Red Roses, but Canada are not to be underestimatedFor years it has been a mirage shimmering on a distant horizon. A sold-out 82,000 record crowd for a standalone women’s rugby fixture, millions more watching on television, a nation entranced. Finally the vision will become reality this Saturday with just one big question left: can England also deliver the ultimate fairytale finish?It promises to be as much a psychological as a physical challenge, with hype levels about to be ramped up to 11.

Asahi, the tournament’s beer sponsor, has linked up with more than 1,000 pubs across the UK to screen the final, as part of the collective drive to spread the women’s rugby gospel far and wide.

Semi-final: New Zealand 19-34 CanadaSix-times champions out after consecutive title winsCanada always had a good chance of beating New Zealand in their Rugby World Cup semi-final no one anticipated them dominating the defending champions and playing them off of the park at times. This was a masterclass by Kévin Rouet’s team who used pace, patience and instincts to knock the Blacks Ferns out and book their spot in the final for just the second time.The match had already been picked out as one that would go down in history but the result certified that. Sophie de Goede excelled once again for Canada. Whether through breakdown turnovers, conversions or splicing through defence she was the linchpin in a fluid game from 1-15. The trust the team have in each other when they have front-foot ball allowed them to play with pure freedom that downed New Zealand and set up a final against England or France next Saturday. This is the first time since 2014 New Zealand will not be in the final, th...
