The real dagger here is the suggestion that Northampton v Scarlets is unappealing. So much history and memorable moments in that fixture alone. Grayson's kick in Reading, Barry Davies' wonder try at the Gardens etc. It just doesn't mean as much to them obviously. Time to move on

The Red Wings have suspended Dylan Larkin without pay, and can really make it painful if they don't trade him in short order:
Larkin will forfeit $41,237.11 in pay for each day of his suspension.

11,000 plus fans in attendance for Girondins de Bordeaux in the sixth tier of football in France 🤯
Let’s hope their rise back up the pyramid is fast and furious 💪
Yikes, 13 days to go to the Japan game and I expected sales to be bleak but not quite this bleak. Pretty obvious that those back rows of the upper tier have been taken off sale too. 61k for the same fixture last season, the drop off seems stark unless there's a big late take-up.
