NEWS: All Blacks loose forward Ardie Savea has put pen to paper to recommit to New Zealand Rugby until 2027. The vice-captain’s contract will take him through to the 2027 World Cup – extending an international career that racked up 84 Test caps since his debut against Wales in 2016.

SPOTLIGHT: All Blacks legend John Kirwan has cast doubt on Ardie Savea’s switch to Moana Pasifika, saying it could affect his Test form for New Zealand. Savea, 30, announced Sunday he would end more than a decade of association with the high-flying Hurricanes to make the bombshell move to Moana, who finished second bottom of the Super Rugby Pacific standings in 2024.

West Ham United have been urged to beat Tottenham Hotspur in the race for Brentford star Ivan Toney and complete their ‘best signing’ in over a decade. Toney finished last season with four goals and two assists from 17 appearances after missing a majority of the campaign due to a betting ban. But he remains one of the highest rated centre-forwards in England after netting 20 goals in 33 Premier League games the previous season and also impressing during his limited game time at Euro 2024.

Team India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal made history in the final T20I against Zimbabwe after the 22-year-old smashed 12 runs on the first ball of the match. Yashasvi Jaiswal's mega feat came after Zimbabwe bowler Sikandar Raza began proceedings with a full toss to the Indian opener, who struck it for a six past the deep square-leg boundary. However, it turned out to be an illegal delivery as the umpire declared it a no-ball. This gave Yashasvi Jaiswal a free-hit and Sikankar Raza's next delivery went into the stands as the southpaw clobbered it down the ground for a massive six.
