Nine minutes was all it took for Newcastle Knights young gun David Armstrong to put the NRL world on notice as he crossed over for a dream try on debut. Hear from the debutant himself after an incredible performance.
Debutants will be ruling the waves for Australia at the Paris Olympics with one medal hopeful named on two special teams on the same day in a remarkable coincidence.
She was one of the first athletes named for the Paris Olympics and one of the Australian teams least known but that could be about to change for this sailing gun after a crazy win in Europe.
It’s been a nursery for Olympic talent since it began but if international life saving can rustle enough support these everyday heroes will be able to stay at the beach to follow their dream.
When this talented teen started playing footy she wanted to be like her rugby league gun brother. Now she wants to be like the fastest women in the NRLW.
Dolphins gatecrashed the SailGP Christchurch to do something unusual – stop Aussie skipper Tom Slingsby in his tracks. But it’s not the first time animals have stolen the show in sport.
A mystery woman hardwired for success, new teams, an extra Australian event and shattered speed records are all on the cards for season five of SailGP.
There were world U20 qualifiers hit, incredible PB’s, multiple medallists and a surprise win by a rising star of rugby league. NSW junior athletics stars, standouts, results and gallery.
It’s a testament to how much Viliami Fifita loves rugby league that this rising star gave up something he loves almost as much to become a NRL debutant in the first round of the 2024 season.
If things had just been a little different – and his shoulder more stable – this young gun might have been racing for a spot in the Roosters this NRL season – not a medal at the Paris Olympics.
There were tries galore, send-offs and some head-turning moves from another as the next generation of rugby battled in the annual Waratahs U18s v Reds grudge match. PHOTO GALLERY
They are the results and stats that should have the Waratahs opposition on high alert as the Super W season approaches. Gallery, result wrap from their latest outing.
This Waratahs U18s teen has more than a passing resemblance to a Hollywood megastar, a goal to hit 2.3m plus and a plan to go ‘full noise’ after a long lay-off with injury.
Most rugby guns come from rugby league but this Waratahs under 18s teen has been competing in a very different sport he believes has helped him become a better, tougher player.
