Hot Takes
Thursday could be very special. It’s when Faith Kipyegon aims to become the first woman to run a sub-4-minute mile, another Nike project, in Paris.
It’s fair to say the Club World Cup is a bust. Just 3412 luckless fans for the Mamelodi Sundowns v Ulsan match.
Don’t get too excited about the Lions v Argentina on Friday. No Test caps on offer, the Pumas will be under strength and several of the Lions will be battered from weekend finals. Meh.
After his histrionics at the weekend, it’s hard not to recall Sharks scrumhalf Jaden Hendrikse was shown a red card against the British & Irish Lions for an elbow to the head of Liam Williams. Man’s got history.
Cheslin Kolbe book in the works. Nice.
