Legal Q&A: Why Rugby Australia can terminate Israel Folau’s contract – and what he can do about it

April 17, 2019

Lawyer JJ Shaw explains the regulatory workings behind Rugby Australia's decision to terminate Israel Folau's contract over anti-gay social media posts, and how the player can contest the sanction. What grounds do Australian rugby chiefs have for terminating Folau’s contract? Rugby Australia’s code of conduct obliges players to “treat everyone equally, fairly and with dignity regardless of gender [...]
Trevor Steven: Manchester City’s make-or-break week in their quadruple bid starts against Tottenham

April 16, 2019

Last week I was lucky enough to visit Manchester City’s training facilities and witness how they are building not only success on the pitch but also a global brand. It was mind-blowing; they are so ahead of the game, I have never seen anything like it. Winning the quadruple would be the ultimate endorsement of [...]
Sam Torrance: Tiger Woods has silenced his doubters with sport’s greatest comeback

April 15, 2019

What Tiger Woods achieved on Sunday at Augusta National is almost indescribable. His fifth Masters win and first Major title for 11 years is certainly the best comeback in the history of golf and quite possibly in any sport. It’s difficult to think of anything comparable. To go through the injuries and personal problems that [...]
Tiger Woods back on trail of Jack Nicklaus record after ending 11-year Major drought at Masters

April 14, 2019

When Hollywood scriptwriters come to pen the screenplay for the Tiger Woods biopic, the 2019 Masters will surely be the setting for the hero’s redemptive and climactic final scene. Eleven years after winning his last Major, the man who still draws audiences to golf like nobody else achieved what just a few months ago seemed [...]
Arsenal reap rewards of Unai Emery’s boldness to beat Napoli and near Europa League last four

April 11, 2019

Unai Emery can appear a man struggling to contain a thousand competing impulses but if the Arsenal manager erred towards conservatism when he first arrived in England then he has surrendered to his more attacking urges lately. And it feels good for the Gunners, who reaped the benefits of another bold Emery selection that contained [...]
Sam Torrance: Playing the Masters for the first time is an unforgettable experience

April 10, 2019

A golfer's first time at the Masters is extraordinary, as two Englishmen making their debuts at Augusta National this week, Eddie Pepperell and Matt Wallace, will be discovering. One of the special things about the tournament is that it takes place at the same venue every year – a venue you have been watching on [...]
Sam Torrance: Rory McIlroy is my Masters favourite but Brooks Koepka and Tiger Woods have strong claims too

April 9, 2019

As the first Major of the year, the Masters is the tournament all players aim to be ready for and the shortlist of those expected to challenge at Augusta this week is a virtual who’s who of golf. Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson, Francesco Molinari, Justin Rose, Brooks Koepka and Tiger Woods are among those with [...]
Trevor Steven: Transfer talk has hit Manchester United’s form ahead of Barcelona Champions League clash

April 9, 2019

After an initial burst of adrenaline and positivity brought about by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer replacing Jose Mourinho in the dugout, it feels as though Manchester United have gone backwards lately. A run of three defeats in four games since their heroics against Paris Saint-Germain, including losing twice to Wolves, has punctured the belief that Solskjaer [...]
Tottenham v Manchester City: Quadruple talk masks the fact that only Champions League glory will do for City

April 8, 2019

Is it possible to enjoy resounding success, to set new standards of achievement not just for your club but for the very competitions in which they play and yet still leave a nagging sense of hopes unfulfilled? It’s a question Bayern Munich must have wrestled with in the last days of Pep Guardiola’s tenure as [...]
Five things we learned from the weekend football: Gutsy Watford rip up the script; Everton turning a corner; Arsenal wretched on road; Liverpool bust a gut while Man City cruise; Foxes have tails up

April 7, 2019

On paper, this looked like the less appetising of the two FA Cup semi-finals. On paper, Watford looked like underdogs against a Wolves side who were in the ascendancy and possess star quality. But on Sunday at Wembley, Watford – and particularly Gerard Deulofeu – ripped up the script and dragged the Hornets from two [...]
