Incredible stash for Ireland v Wallabies ahead of 150th anniversary test

Swans v Port Adelaide next Friday night at the SCG. Going to be some buzz.

Dan McKellar’s first interview as Waratahs coach. Fair to say there will be no lack of passion. **** ‘For Australia to thrive, we need the Waratahs to thrive. I think that I can help’ smh.com.au/sport/rugby-un…

Lovely to see standing ovation for Kiko Martínez as he reunites with Carl Frampton MBE. The city respects fighters and what a warm reception he received.

This is why we love AFL football. My god what a game.

Man was born to be a leader.

Twelve years ago on this day, tragedy struck the Spence family. Nevin Spence tragically passed away along with his father Noel and brother Graham. Always in our thoughts. Rest in peace Nevin, Noel & Graham Spence. ♥️ #AlwaysWithUs

It's going to be a busy few days for me: tonight Sydney Swans prelim final, packed SCG, the chance to go to the big dance. Saturday, Wallabies v All Blacks at Olympic Stadium, can they respond after the implosion in Santa Fe?

Graham Arnold is gone as Socceroos coach. Announcement from Football Australia is imminent.

Interesting times ahead for Australian football...the Arnold years are over, who steps up next?

Thinking of everyone at Evening Standard, was a big part of my 5 years living in London. Some really talented people there.

Wonderful piece from my talented colleague Emma Kemp on Isaac Heeney. smh.com.au/sport/afl/how-…
