RUGBY CHAMPIONSHIP
SOUTH AFRICA 35-17 AUSTRILIA
JUMP JANTJIES
 Oh wow, what a superb passage of play for the Springboks! Australia were attacking just over halfway, but number eight Louw comes up with the turnover and sets in motion an attack which sees Sbu Nkosi go streaking away down the right wing before passing inside for debutant scurm-half Jantjies to finish off.
 The Springboks hammer away at the line and are rewarded when Lood de Jager burrows his way over to score.
 From one side of the pitch to the other as the Wallabies work the numbers out wide on the right for Banks to send winger Haylett-Petty over in the corner.
Australia can't hold out for long though and, playing with a penalty advantage, the Springboks work the space as Etzebeth offloads to Gelant, who in turn passes wide for Nkosi for him to score.
What a debut for Herschel Jantjies is having. A space opens up wide on the left after Australia over-commit to a breakdown, and the scrum-half spies the gap and sprints clear to score.
Replacement Kurtley Beale makes the break for the Wallabies and comes up with a superb offload to Foley, who finishes behind the posts and converts.
On the final play of the game, Reinach scoots from the base of a ruck from around 10 metres out and scampers over for the try which seals the bonus point for the hosts.

MY OPINION
Austril8ia have a lot to learn from a match like this and there is time to do wit which is a ac good thing. South Africa look very hard to beat which is a good thing going into a world cup getting form at the right time.
ARGENTENHA 16-20 NEW ZEELAND
BARRET BOOT SAVES BLACKS
The pumping legs of Laumape see him hold off several Argentine defenders to just get the ball down on the line under the posts.
. The hosts had a line-out and were setting up an attack, but Retallick's alertness sees him pluck a pass from Sanchez out of the air and race in from over 40 metres out to dot down for a try.
  The Pumas keep the pressure on and Sanchez decides to try his luck with referee Gardner playing advantage by hoisting a high kick up.

MY OPINIONN
This has been more about kicking power rather than actual power about New Zeeland and what exactly it is they are capable of. I think that Argentina are getting themselves ready in the right way and are ready for anything

FA CUP LAST 16 4-3-20

FA CUP LAST 16 PORTSMOUTH O-2 ARSENAL SOKRATES GOT SKILLS Arsenal were fortunate to go into the break a goal up, and it came from an unlikely source as Sokratis controlled a volley into the bottom corner from Reiss Nelson's dangerous cross Nelson created the second shortly after the break, taking on his man on the right before delivering for Nketiah to bundle home from close range https://www.skysports.com/football/portsmth-vs-arsenal/report/423680 MY OPINION Arsenal have not had the best of seasons so far so this might be their only way into Europe. A weakened team can do a go0od job here as for Portsmouth they can now concentrate on whether or not they get promoted    CHELSEA 2-0 LIVERPOOL WILLIAM ADDS TO ANFIELD WOES Mere seconds after making a splendid double-save, one of them from a Willian drive from distance, Adrian has a shocker. Trying to play the ball out from the back, Fabinho loses the ball, gifting Willian a shooting opportunity from about 2...

CONFEDERATIONS CUP GERMANY 4-1 MEXICO GREAT GORETZKA Leon Goretzka scored twice in the opening eight minutes as Germany beat Mexico 4-1 in Sochi to join Chile in the Confederations Cup final. The Schalke midfielder swept home a Benjamin Henrichs pass from 20 yards and then slotted home from Timo Werner's through ball. Werner then tapped home Jonas Hector's pass to increase Germany's lead. Marco Fabian scored a brilliant 35-yard strike for Mexico, before Amin Younes added a fourth for Germany. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40410798 MY OPINION Germany has shown in this competition that they are definitely the team to watch out for in this competition and moving forward. I feel that you cannot call them anything but hot favourites against Chile as they look impressive in world cup qualifying while Chile do not look as impressive . I say Germany 2-0 Chile in final LEDVIA TALIN 0-2 CORK CITY BRILLIANT BUCKLY  Goals from Garr...

ALL IRELAND FINAL REPLAY DUBLIN 1-18 0-15 KERRY MIGHTY MURTUGH An absorbing first half ended with the sides locked at ten points apiece, though in the early exchanges it was all one-way traffic as the blue Dublin wave crashed into the Hill 16 end. After nine minutes they were 0-05 to 0-01 ahead and Paul Mannion dropped one short to keeper Shane Ryan. Such was their dominance at this stage that another point would have put real distance between the sides. Kerry tried route one early on, bombing ball after ball into David Clifford and getting absolutely zero return. Mick Fitzsimons took over the marking duty on Clifford from Jonny Cooper, who played a spare man in defence having been sent off before half-time in the draw. The Kingdom also tried a full-court press on Stephen Cluxton’s early kick-outs early, but the Dubs’ captain, just like the television ad, brings us the wonderful every day and he pinged the ball to his men, drawing appreciative applause from the crowd...
