    Offical Rugby League Thread

    Wigan great Billy Boston knighted in historic first for rugby league | Rugby league | The Guardian Long overdue for the great man himself and league generally; I now no clue that no ex- league players had ever been knighted. Had to wait a while, but he's still with us at 90, so kudos Sir...

    2026 World Cup Qualifiers

    So you're saying we're definitely going to win? Phew. That takes the pressure off.

    Boxing thread

    Ref didn't need to check. Huni hadn't even raised his arms, far less taken his guard. The Queensbury Rules state a boxer must be able to come up to scratch by the end of a count of ten, not merely get up.

    Boxing thread

    Nah, don't agree. Huni might've been on his feet by ten, but definitely wasn't up to scratch. Ref 100% right to stop it when he did. We've seen too many tragedies when boxers have been too brave for their own good. Credit to Justis for getting up, but also to the ref for knowing enough was...

    Proper old school final match-up for the English Prem: Bath v Leicester. It's like the last thirty years never happened.

    2026 World Cup Qualifiers

    Didn't see it, but the XI we stuck out suggests maybe Tuchel treated the Andorreanaianese lightly. I mean, he started with the ghost of Jordan Henderson, ffs.

    Boxing thread

    Yup. Huni caught Wardley pretty flush with that right hook in the seventh; Fabio grimaced slightly but wasn't really wobbled even. If he got tagged like that by someone with even an average heavy's weight of punch it would've been goodnight Vienna. Huni's a slick mover, especially for a...

    Famous or infamous rifts between cricketers

    Dear old Simon Katich and Pup Clarke were on the outers, weren't they? Culminated in the former grabbing the latter by the throat over the timing of singing the team song. Harbhajan once slapped Sreesanth during an IPL game, didn't he? On different sides on that day, but played in the same...

    How should England go about developing spinners?

    Think the selectors have moved past the CC as a guide to the suitability of spinners (and cricketers generally, pretty much) for higher honours. I mean, why else is Zak Crawley a thing? Bashir's FC record would be flattered by being called mildly two bob but one only has to see him in action to...

    How good could Zimbabwe be…

    Carse is qualified; his old man was born in Harare. Dale Benkenstein's lad has played for Essex a few times too, although, like Carse, he's RSA-born. Shane Snater is a Zimba by birth and, IIRC, he's the first cousin of Jason Roy, so presumably JR has some manner of connection too. There's...

    Women's football stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    So, never in any doubt, is basically what you're saying? If there's any justice that should be the BBC's Sports Personality team of the year sorted, but it'll likely be the Lions by virtue of a slightly spawny 2-1 test series win down under.

    Well, given the utter cluster**** they've made of VAR, I find it all too plausible the Premier League has overlooked this! You're right though, ftr:
