Rennie wants more 'clinical' Wallabies against Scotland

Australia head into their European tour opener against Scotland at Murrayfield on Saturday with coach Dave Rennie urging the Wallabies to be "far more clinical" than in last year's corresponding fixture. "We had a lot of opportunities to score which we didn't take," Rennie told reporters on Thursday. With flyhalf Quade Cooper injured, Rennie has now opted for a new half-back pairing of scrum-half Tate McDermott and Bernard Foley in the run-up to next year's Rugby World Cup in France. Scotland have won their last three Tests against the two-time Rugby World Cup winners. Scotland won just twice in this year's Six Nations and lost 2-1 on their recent tour of Argentina, with Townsend taking nothing for granted this weekend.

We now know that burning fossil fuels is wrecking our planet; it is killing and stealing livelihoods all over the world, not just in Africa.

Naspers, Prosus down as Chinese jitters, big tech sell-off hit global markets

Most markets fell Friday as a weakening economy and disappointing earnings from tech giants offset signs that central banks could begin slowing their interest rate hike campaign. After a tough week, JSE-listed tech groups Naspers (-5%) and Prosus (-4%) also came under more pressure after Chinese behemoth Tencent, their biggest holding, lost another almost 6% on Friday. Kumba extended a losing streak after downgrading its export guidance on Thursday, falling 6% on Friday morning. The yen's losses have been fuelled by the widening gap between the monetary policies of the US and Japanese central banks. Elsewhere, Shanghai, Sydney, Seoul, Taipei, Manila, Bangkok and Jakarta were also down, while London, Paris and Frankfurt opened in the red.
