Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian, in the middle of the Blue continent, where it is a freezing 19 degrees Celsius at 5am this morning!
 
In Rugby Union: Our world famous tips for the Asahai Super Dry Pacific Nations Cup this weekend: Manu Samoa to chimichanga Tonga in Apia on Friday, and the USA to simonebiles Canada on Sunday, with Mick Byrne and his Flying Fijians on a kava break.

And in “The Rugby Championship” we tip the Springboks to hubbabubba the All Blacks in Jo’burg and for Los Pumas to riodejambo the Wallabies in La Plata, Argentina.
 
In Rugby League: The NRL has commissioned a committee including QRL boss Ben Ikin, Roosters Head Coach Trent Robinson, Storm football boss Frank Ponissi and Penrith CEO Matt Cameron, as part of a special committee investigating the potential return of the National Youth Competition to be aligned with all 17 NRL Clubs.

The NYC would return as an under-21s competition comprising existing Jersey Flegg teams, plus sides from the Broncos, Titans, Cowboys and Dolphins with games to be played as NRL curtain-raisers for the 2026 season.

Interesting to see how this effects the Kaiviti Silktails.

In Football SportsBiz: Bright Path Sports Partners is the latest US firm betting on an English football Club. The Cleveland-based firm, whose mission is to infuse Native American capital into sports, closed a US$154Million deal to acquire 44% of the company which owns Premier League Club Ipswich Town. 

In boxing: Tszyu version 3 – Nikita, will enter the IBF and WBO world boxing rankings after the 10th consecutive win of his professional boxing career.

The Aussie battler stopped the dangerous Koen Mazoudier late in the ninth round in Sydney last night, despite looking exhausted after eight rounds, before exploding to force the Referee to intervene and stop the war.

At the US Open: A scary scene unfolded on the opening day of the US Open when Japanese star Yoshihito Nishioka suddenly collapsed during the fifth set of his first-round match against Miomir Kecmanović, the New York Post reports.
 
The 28-year-old needed a wheelchair to get off Court 8 as Kecmanović advanced to the second round due to the retirement.

And in the NFL: Jordan Mailata is locked in as a key part of the Philadelphia Eagles future, having signed a three-year US$66Million extension in April, that keeps him in Philly through 2028.
 
At this point in his career - three years in, you’d think that you know everything there is to know about the massive Aussie-Samoan Left Tackle?

Aha, bet you didn’t know that Jason Kelce – brother of Travis, boyfriend of Taylor Swift - was the screensaver on Jordan Mailata’s mobile phone.

Not sure what exactly is going on there Peeps, but that’s a wrap!
