I love how Dean writes. Sat next to him as he worried about what the line was going to be. And then he does this. Sublime sports writing for @abcsport

As the Springboks have re-appropriated Ireland’s ‘Zombie’ as their own, so Brisbane Lions could now adopt ‘Wharfie Time’ from Fremantle. It will forever be associated with this grand final victory.

Journalism is a process not a product.
The world will always need journalists to go through the process of researching, questioning, writing.
Products like YouTube, TikTok, Twitter, etc do not invest in the process and are not interested in the process.

Last push of this. Think smart squad building deserves more credit generally and is a fascinating subplot of the Prem.
Prem spending strategy/squad-building report part two. Probably the spicier half.

Marvel at the detail in these from @CharlieFelix -- properly good again, and your nauses guide to retention, recruitment, cap building and all that, which helps understand who's good and who ain't.
This the pillar of a cracking @TimesSport offering this week as the Prem starts!

Few thoughts on the financial health of club rugby. Some fundamental changes required.
From Ireland to Australia, rugby clubs operate in a centrally planned economy where no one has the incentive to make the professional game a success

Between a bog and a hard pitch: Why the RFU is considering a calendar shake-up for the community game.
The RFU has begun a project to look at how rugby should adapt to the impact of climate change. And it wants to get creative.

B52 could have got a bit lower tbf.
No matter how many times I experience it the combo of my guy @generaldwilson and a B-52 flyover gives me chills every time! #ChiefsKingdom

SA and NZ agreed to Baltimore after receiving assurances that there would be no repeat of the farcical scenes from NZ-Ire in Chicago.
Match promotors TEG insisted that "lessons had been learnt" and Wasserman came on board “to ensure a level of expertise expected by supporters”
This delay in the Springboks v All Blacks in Baltimore is a joke. Can't get the match official mics working so are resorting to mobile phones!
Amateur hour.

Feel full of love, pride and gratitude after yesterday and hearing about the curiosity, compassion, commitment and generosity that characterised Dad’s career. As many said, the plaudits would have made him cringe himself inside out… which is why he meant so much to us all.

I’ve been fortunate enough to watch State of Origin and a Lions Test at the MCG (plus Ashes cricket).
The NFL game will be an amazing occasion. Just not sure I’d want a seat in the lower tier.

Sounds like Northampton have tied down Henry Pollock until 2029 and have renewed Tommy Freeman and Tom Pearson as well.

Why NZ have grounds for optimism despite Rassie Erasmus going full Craig David and taking them for a ride on Monday (with early selection), making changes to his team on Tuesday and Friday and Saturday, before chilling on Sunday
