First up this week, we cover the Women’s Rugby WorldCup Quarter Finals, where the top four teams—England, France, New Zealand, and Canada—powered through to the semis.
France edged past Ireland in a bruising battle, but the headlines were stolen by flanker Axelle Berthoumieu, whoapparently mistook Aoife Wafer’s arm for a baguette! The bite went unnoticed during the match, but World Rugby sank its teeth into the incident afterwards, handing Berthoumieu a 9-match ban.
Then, to cycling in Spain, where the final stage of La Vuelta a España was abandoned in extraordinary scenes. Pro-Palestinian protesters brought the peloton to a halt in Madrid, forcing organisers to cancel the stage and podium ceremony. Jonas Vingegaard was crowned champion,but not in the way anyone expected.
We also pay tribute to a true warrior of the ring. Theboxing world is mourning the tragic passing of Ricky Hatton, aged just 46. We reflect on his legacy and memories of him as a youngster.
And finally, a moment of pure golfing chaos at the BMWPGA Championship—Adrien Saddier’s ball took a detour into a spectator’s hood, saving him from a watery hazard. We’ll talk about the bizarre, the lucky, and the laughter that followed.
We also have all the latest from tennis, cricket, rugby league and the Athletics World Championships.
All that and more, right here on Null & Void.
