CHECK out the highlights, lowlights and talking points from another memorable weekend in sport.
HIGHLIGHT
The stunning Tongan fightback against England in the final 10 minutes of the World Cup semi-final. Breathtaking, edge-of-your-seat adlib footy.
BUZZ: New stadiums a blow to suburban grounds
BUZZ II: Cecchin had to review ‘no try’
HIGHLIGHT II
Listening to Johnathan Agnew’s beautiful commentary on the ABC of the opening Ashes cricket Test at the Gabba. He is the best radio cricket commentator since the late and great Alan McGilvray.
LOWLIGHT
It is not politically correct to criticise women’s sport but here goes … the female version of the Rugby League World Cup has been disappointing.

LOWLIGHT II
A disgusting incident in the A-League soccer on Saturday night when Brisbane Roar’s Avraam Papadopoulos spat at Sydney FC striker Matt Simon.
SPOTTED
Sydney Roosters players and coach Trent Robinson farewelling Mitchell Pearce at the Charing Cross Hotel on Friday night.
SPOTTED
Matt Moylan and Paul Gallen on Port Hacking enjoying an afternoon on board member Craig Airey’s luxury cruiser with fans who won a day out with the players at a charity auction.
SHOOSH
Which NRL captain has fallen out with his halfback and playmaker, who he claims has an out-of-control ego.
