Well worth playing catch up on 9Now. Brilliant access to take fans where they’ve never been - a must for sports that at times struggles for mainstream coverage. Tears, vomits and great stories - the Rowsellas have it all. Well done @phillutton78, Sarah Cook & all involved. 💚💛

Women's 200m freestyle at #AQUAFukuoka23 had it all, including the breaking of a 14-year old World Record, the 3rd-fastest time in history, and a World Junior Record. O'Callaghan swam her final 50m 0.72 seconds (~1.2m gained) faster than anyone else in the race.

The Queensland Rugby community is mourning the loss of Rugby scribe Wayne Smith who passed away yesterday. Smithy reported on Rugby for the past 50 years after covering his first QLD match in 1971 against the B&IL at Ballymore. Our thoughts are with his family. Vale Smithy.

Watch a young Usain Bolt and then watch Gout Gout and tell me the difference… Long, long way to go at that age, but the youngster can move those long legs.

Watching the student politics-style machinations in UK this morning is so enraging and depressing. Yet more national humiliation. Paul Keating’s recent taunt is sounding more and more like a truism: “Britain is like an old theme park sliding into the Atlantic.”

Phil have you considered that removing scoring at younger ages will rob us of TikTok’s such as this? Would be a travesty imo
