Happy birthday Trish in New York!
Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian, in the middle of the Blue continent, where it is a cool 23 degrees Celsius at 5am this morning.
In Rugby Union: Dr. Brett Robinson (Australia) has been elected as the new Chair of World Rugby at the 2024 Interim meeting of Council in Dublin, Ireland.
· Jonathan Webb (England) was elected Vice-Chair from the six representatives who were elected to the Executive Board. They are:

In Rugby League: Tongan star Addin Fonua-Blake is a chance to make history as the first player from a Pacific Island country to win the IRL Golden Boot, awarded to the best player in sanctioned rugby league international matches each year, after the short list for the 2024 award, was cut down to six from 17 contenders, chosen by members of the international media.
Fonua-Blake is joined by Australian trio Isaah Yeo, Harry Grant and Tom Trbojevic, New Zealand rookie Keano Kini and England centre Herbie Farnworth.
The Men’s 2024 IRL Golden Boot is chosen by Golden Cap recipients Darren Lockyer (Australia), James Graham (England) and Petero Civoniceva (Australia/Fiji), who are among just nine players to have played 50 internationals.
The winner of the 2024 IRL Golden Boot award will be announced in early December.
In Football: England looked good in their 3-0 win over Greece in Athens on Thursday - avenging their 2-1 defeat they suffered at Wembley last month, to go top of their Nations League group, after goals from Ollie Watkins, debutant Curtis Jones and an own goal.
Now for Ireland at Wembley on Sunday.
In Sports Biz: Caitlin Clark joked she would spend her WNBA offseason trying to become a professional golfer.
As she ponders a “Lionel Messi–like,” seven-figure offer to play in the new “Unrivaled 3-on-3” Women’s basketball league that will begin in January, Clark is getting the chance to show off her golf skills on the LPGA Tour, where she’s competing in a pro-am event in Tampa Bay.
The tournament has seen a big boost in interest and ticket sales since confirmation of Clark’s participation last month.
In Combat Sports: Someone is gonna die after Iron Mike Tyson and Jake Paul walk out for their fight at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas around 4pm Fiji Time today.
This after Tyson slapped Paul’s face during their weigh-in yesterday and threatened to kill him in the ring today!
