Leinster beaten as Toulouse lift Champions Cup after extra timeBy Duncan Bech, PA England Rugby CorrespondentLeinster were unable to shed their losing habit in Investec Champions Cup finals after they were edged 31-22 by Toulouse with only extra time separating the rivals at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Photo by Mike EgertonThe French champions were helped by James Lowe being shown a yellow card for a deliberate knock-on, but that advantage was quickly wiped out when lock Richie Arnold was sent off. Thomas Ramos provided the decisive points, with three penalties taking them out of reach as Toulouse came on strong despite being a man down. Ross Byrne kicked four Leinster penalties. Kinghorn and Byrne traded kicks once more before three points from replacement Ramos nudged Toulouse in front.

Top money managers are wary of Shein float
Some of Britain’s largest fund managers have spoken out against plans for fast fashion giant Shein to float in London. London is currently vying with New York for the blockbuster £53billion float, which would see Shein slip straight into the blue-chip FTSE 100. But UK money managers, including Aviva Investors, Schroders and M&G, may turn their backs on the listing over concerns about workers’ rights at the Chinese fashion giant. Speaking out: Some of Britain’s largest fund managers have spoken out against plans for Shein to float in LondonThe UK Sustainable Investment and Finance Association, said it does not want London to ‘become a listing place of last resort for companies with poor human rights records’. A Channel 4 investigation in 2022 revealed some Chinese workers were paid as little as 3p per garment while working 18-hour days.

Barcelona defend Women’s Champions League title with win over Lyon in final
Barcelona defend Women’s Champions League title with win over Lyon in finalBy Rachel Steinberg, PASecond-half strikes by Ballon d’Or winners Aitana Bonmati and Alexia Putellas inspired Barcelona’s Women’s Champions League title defence and a maiden quadruple with a 2-0 victory over Lyon in Spain. It was the first time Barca, fielding a line-up that included England midfielder Keira Walsh and a particularly in-form Lucy Bronze, had ever beaten the French champions in five times of asking, doing so in front of a record-breaking crowd of 50,827 for a Women’s Champions League final at Bilbao’s San Mames Stadium. Emma Hayes had hoped to conclude her 12 years at Chelsea with victory in this final, the one trophy that eluded the new United States manager, before her move across the pond. But the Blues came up just short of their second Champions League showpiece, and it was Hayes’ hotly-tipped potential successor, Sonia Bompastor, whose Lyon side could not find their way past Chelsea’s last-four executioners for what would have been a ninth title in their history. It was a rousing ovation that greeted the 30-year-old when she stepped out onto the pitch in the third minute of stoppage time, a sound quickly upgraded to a roar when she found the back of the net three minutes later to cap off the victory.

Champions Cup final preview: No room for error as Leinster put reputations on the line again
To do it, they’ll need an 80-minute performance and the bench Leo Cullen has picked suggests that they’re keen to avoid the late fades that have happened in big games. For Toulouse, there’s been a clear focus on discipline. Last season, Leinster scored 21 points while they had men in the sin-bin and they’ve conceded fewer penalties this season than today’s opponents. Kinghorn’s goal-kicking will be a worry for Toulouse fans and Leinster need Ross Byrne to have the game of his life. Verdict: Leinster 24 Toulouse 31

Colm O'Regan: Can-do attitude on Re-turn, until the litter end
But I might have a marginally above average number of anecdotes seeing as how I’m obsessed with litter. They’re money. In our local litter-picking group, we do clean-ups along the canal near us and yes, there’s less stuff. I’ve got over the embarrassment of bringing cans to the shop. Whereas bringing cans at lunchtime to the Londis, it looks like you drank them that morning in your pyjamas while watching Bluey.

Books are my business: New Island commissioning editor Aoife Walsh
Aoife Walsh is a commissioning editor with New Island. Then at a certain point, I thought I would like to work with books or be an editor. Then I came home and worked with O’Brien Press as managing editor and I was with them for just over a year-and-a-half. Then this job in New Island came up. I’m a commissioning editor but I probably split my time between that and being a managing editor.
