Six Nations: Lawes set for England return, Biggar dropped as Gatland rings Wales changes

1 month ago SportsMax

Wales' Six Nations clash with England will go ahead this weekend after strike action was avoided following crunch talks on Wednesday. A new contract agreement, under the newly proposed new Professional Rugby Agreement (PRA), will contain a fixed-only option, as well as a fixed-variable deal that Wales' professional sides will work under. Warren Gatland delayed his squad announcement on Tuesday amid ongoing discussions, with Wales players reportedly keen to have matters sorted by the following day. Those plans came to fruition after negotiations between the four Wales professional sides and WRPA representatives at Principality Stadium, and a further meeting among international and club players. Wales are bottom of the table after losing to Ireland and Scotland at the start of Gatland's second spell as head coach.

Kawhi returns as Clippers continue dominance over Lakers, Giannis leads Bucks past 76ers

In each of the past two seasons, there were periods where Sevilla could consider themselves genuine threats in LaLiga's title race. They head to the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday as bigger outsiders than they've been for years in this fixture. Sevilla's five points after the first seven league games of the season was their worst at that stage since 1996-97 (four points). Of course, what happens at the Bernabeu won't define Sevilla's season. Re-energising the team is Sampaoli's task, and if he succeeds, his reputation will be restored.

Juju Smith-Schuster credits Call of Duty wins for Chiefs' offensive explosion against 49ers

"In my rookie year playing with the Jets, we went 8-8 and missed the playoffs by one game. The reality is it's hard to win the NFL with a young quarterback. I’m so competitive, and I love playing so much that I really wanted to be out there every single game. "I know I’m better for all those years. Not many coaches would start two rookies on the offensive line, a rookie running back, two rookie cornerbacks.
