The Springbok Sevens lost their final Pool C match 22-10 against Ireland on Saturday at BC Place in Vancouver, hence missing the quarterfinals of the HSBC SVNS series for the first time this season. They did recover some pride later in the day, beating Canada 20-14 to stay in the hunt for some valuable series points. The Blitzboks face Australia on Sunday at (9.21pm SA time) in the 9th/10th place match in what turned out to be a disappointing tournament for the team. The defeat against Ireland meant South Africa finished last in their pool for the first time this season also. Ireland did well to control the aerial battle and kickoffs, while some poor defence by individuals in the Blitzboks jersey handed the Irish good momentum when needed.

Last Thursday Japanese shares finally pushed through their previous peak, reached more than 34 years ago. The Nikkei 225 share index closed at 39,098.68, against 38,915.87 reached on December 29, 1989. Japanese investors also helped underpin US equities after the share crash on Black Monday in October 1987. The Ministry of Finance tried to slow any decline in Japan by getting institutional investors to buy shares. Not only did the Japanese market have furthest to fall, the decline went on for longer than anywhere else.

Wales, despite trailing 17-0 by the halftime whistle, showed moments of resurgence with a penalty try that saw Beirne sin-binned. The victory marks a historic 18th consecutive win for Ireland at the Aviva Stadium and ties the record for an 11th successive Six Nations Test win, a testament to their continued excellence and a milestone shared with England’s streak from 2015 to 2017. Despite a penalty try awarded to Wales, Ireland’s control and execution remained unshaken, with their defence repelling Welsh advances effectively. “I thought we were a bit passive in the first half but I thought Wales were tenacious in defence. We are on a journey.”Try-scorer Ciaran Frawley after his first Test start said added: “Look, it was a bit of clunky in the first half.

Ireland is halfway to the Grand Slam after putting down a spirited Wales by a harder-than-expected 31-7 in Six Nations rugby this morning (NZT). But they couldn’t grab the bonus-point fourth try until the 81st minute. An utterly dominated Wales used the halftime break to regather its wits and rally with a penalty try. A ruck penalty against Wales was kicked to the corner again by Ireland for another lineout but Ireland opted for 11 pick-and-goes. By halftime, Wales had conceded nine penalties, equal to what it conceded in total against Scotland and England.
