Corruption and bribery in youth sports undermine the integrity of the game and can negatively impact young athletes. A recent interclub game revealed blatant examples of this unethical behavior.

Robbie Cannon was in a fourball with Shane Lowry at The Grove XXIII, a small corner of paradise tucked away on the outskirts of Hobe Sound in Florida.

Motsepe will have to show leadership to find a solution to a problem which I think cannot be solved by legal means alone, an executive committee member told me on Sunday after the committee meeting.

Prague will become a byword for misery now, the scene of a collapse from a position that seemed almost too good to be true.

Donegal had 32 possessions in the game. They got off 31 shots.

The ongoing discussions regarding future structural changes to the game, such as the introduction of new tournaments (eg. Fifa Club World Cup), further intensify this challenge. These changes have the potential to significantly reduce the downtime available to elite players, affecting their recovery and overall well-being.

Heimir Hallgrimsson's approach to the friendly match against North Macedonia could be indicative of his overall coaching strategy. The players seemed disinterested, reflecting a lack of engagement that is concerning for future performances.

Donegal's emphatic victory by 13 points over Kerry in the Division 1 decider showcased their dominance, especially with a crucial flurry of three goals.

I know how it goes. If you lose those two games, I'm not in the conversation at all. I think we had two relatively-positive performances. Again, still so much about those that I'm not entirely happy about and want to keep improving on, but I think we've got things moving in a decent direction.

Every player has the right to make that choice. He's a young player that had been initially in the Republic of Ireland set-up. He came back to be part of our set-up and I think Chris played maybe 17 times for representative teams for us. But every player has the right to make that choice, and obviously he's made that choice.

It's time to start planning for the return of Ronan O'Gara to Irish rugby. The Munster and Ireland legend has so far conducted his glittering, 13-year coaching career offshore, with stints as an assistant at Racing 92 and the Crusaders before stepping up to the top job in La Rochelle.

Immanuel Feyi-Waboso has been ruled out of England's pursuit of the triple crown while Steve Borthwick has concerns over the fitness of Ellis Genge for the Calcutta Cup on Saturday. Feyi-Waboso pulled out of the 48-7 victory against Wales after sustaining a hamstring injury in training last Friday and was replaced by Tom Roebuck. According to Borthwick, the Exeter winger will be out for a number of weeks, ensuring he misses the trip to Murrayfield and the visit of Ireland to Twickenham a week later.

Binning an unwritten law that was never worth the paper it wasn't written on, could be a game-changer Unwritten rules are hypocritical for obvious reasons. Nobody can see them. Verbal questions are different. Anyone can ask them.
