England down Wales in tight Cardiff tussle

27 days ago News24

Fullback Freddie Steward mastered an aerial bombardment to help England to a 20-10 victory over Wales in the Six Nations at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on Saturday. In a tight match that featured a lot of aimless kicking and little creativity, England had led 8-3 at the break thanks to an Owen Farrell penalty and Anthony Watson try, while Leigh Halfpenny scored a sole penalty for Wales. A Louis Rees-Zammit intercept try, converted by Halfpenny, kickstarted the second half before England responded through a Kyle Sinckler try, converted by Farrell. However, the England back three of Steward, Max Malins and Watson were unperturbed by Wales' kicking game, proving to be totally dominant in the air. The ball was recycled, but Dombrandt was on hand to win a crucial penalty at the breakdown for England, Farrell clearing.

The Laundry, Part 1: How shape-shifting 'money launderers' infiltrated SA banks

Over the past decade Johannesburg banks have been fair game for a group of alleged money launderers tied to luminaries in the gold and tobacco sectors. In early 2018 torrents of hot money suddenly started coursing through Habib Overseas Bank, a tiny financial institution based in the Johannesburg suburb of Fordsburg. Importantly, Baker is also considered the right-hand man of tobacco mogul Simon Rudland, himself tied to alleged money laundering through Sasfin. Bank-hoppingAmaBhungane can today reveal not only the major incursion by the laundry group at Habib Bank but also that Sasfin Bank seemingly repeatedly missed their activities, opening its doors to the same players in different guises after they had been previously ejected. amaBhunganeThis network was identified at Sasfin and ostensibly kicked out in 2017 after the bank's head of forex Amanda Gie flagged several dodgy payments.

Conte takes aim at VAR 'damage' as Spurs made to wait for Champions League progress

Spurs looked set for the Champions League last 16 when the England captain scored in the 95th minute.

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.

COP27: The irony - developing nations want reparations for climate crisis effects but are pursuing fossil fuels

African nations, together with other developing nations, currently and in the lead up to the conference, have insisted on continuing to use fossil fuel to develop their economies, despite the evident impact of climate change. She said:We cannot be pushing for the same mechanics that brought us here in the first place. 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. Minister Barbara Creecy said China and India could not be treated like developed nations:China and India are developing countries. The Paris Agreement requires developed nations to contribute to climate transitions in developing economies.

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.
