South Africa beat Australia by 67 runs in first men’s ODI – as it happened

This blog is now closed.Any thoughts?

Toulouse lit up Super League but French fans miss out on TV coverage

Sylvain Houles’ newly promoted team finished alongside Catalans in mid-table but their big battle is for exposureBy No Helmets RequiredEvery now and then, something dramatic is required. No one could blame Sylvain Houles for threatening to quit rugby league if his Toulouse Olympique team were replaced in Super League next season by London Broncos. After all, he has just taken them to eighth in the table on half funding, finishing above their rivals Catalans Dragons for the first time in 25 years in the process.The rumour that Toulouse could be ranked 14th by IMG and relegated has since been quashed – to every sane league fan’s relief. Shane Richardson, the NRL head of strategy, says the aim is to build the code’s presence in France, not slash it in half. Continue reading...
