    You have floodlights at cricket grounds, but even with the lights on as in South Africa today, bad light stops play. Better lights needed?

    England win the series against South Africa 3-1, but some are saying this really is not a very good SA side.

    Well we had a young team and lost 2 key bowlers so had our own issues.

    Can only beat what you are up against as they say !

    The England rugby team is being totally out thought and out played by France in that first half. Glad to have a foot in both camps.

    Well they did say France had some exciting players coming through - just a case of if they were up for it which they would be given this is the first game.

    One try for England might change things !!

    That's it. England full of bluster beforehand, but reality is different to talking a good game. France always quicker to the ball, and why England kept pumping the ball to the skies when they kept losing possession made little sense. Very poor from the visitors.

    Said he would knock Wilder out and did just that!

    Nice to have a sportsman living up to his word.

    It took something to negate Wilder, but Wilder did look comparatively slow with the extra weight. It was a lot extra for him and it didn't suit his offence. Although a very powerful counter-attacker, he didn't like that Fury was so at him and into him. It seemed to throw him, coupled with the fact he knew Fury doesn't exactly have a glass chin and can lift himself up from seeming defeat with the inevitability of the bloody Terminator!

    Chris Froome and Mark Cavendish are among riders who will be tested for the coronavirus after the UAE Tour was cancelled on Thursday when two participants contracted Covid-19.

    The final two stages of the race were due to take place on Friday and Saturday but the race was abandoned when the Italian duo were taken ill. All riders and staff were confined to their rooms at the Crowne Royal Plaza Abu Dhabi Yas Island, with concerns that the potential outbreak could now extend to the UCI world track championships in Berlin after some riders who took part in the early stage of the UAE Tour already in Germany.

    No Grand Slam for France..

    Scotland played well aided by a moment of madness from a French Prop.

    The Monaco GP is not postponed but cancelled for 2020. It was due to take place on the 24th May, and is often seen as one of the showpieces of the season.

    Understandable - there are supposed to be 22 races including two new ones in Vietnam and Netherlands.

    Clearly health comes first but would be a same to see the season curtailed so much.

    Suspect the numbers will have to be reduced.
