Wallabies Poised to Dominate Pool C 14 Friday 2nd September, 2011 Sri Lanka’s young sportsmen and women who will compete in the Commonwealth Youth Games (CYG) in the Isle of Man from September 7 pose for a group picture in front of Olympic House, with Sports Minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage, Chairman, National Olympic Committee, Hemasiri Fernando and the officials who will accompany the team.

    TABLE OF CONTENTS Letter from the President 2 United States Roster 6-7 Scotland Roster 9-10 ‘Til the Motor Stops 13 An American Sporting Experience 22 Thank you to our sponsors 27 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston for tonight’s international game between the USA Eagles and Scotland. Once again we are expecting a warm Texas welcome for our visitors from Scotland and a superb day of rugby for everyone involved. Since the Eagles were last in Houston, they have been developing as a team, recording an impressive November Tour in 2013 where they ran the New Zealand Maori All Blacks close in Philadelphia before recording important wins against Georgia and Russia abroad. They then faced World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and we were all delighted for Coach Mike Tolkin and his team when they qualified for the 2015 Rugby World Cup. The significance of tonight’s game is that in just over 12 months time, Scotland and the Eagles will be meeting again in the 2015 Rugby World Cup pool, a chance tonight perhaps for both teams to start their preparations for what will be a very important pool game in Leeds, England on September 27, 2015. Our visitors from Scotland are currently ranked 10 in the World rankings, they had a disappointing RBS Six Nations tournament this year, but with a new coaching team led by former Clermont coach Verne Cotter, the Eagles know they are in for a severe test of their credentials tonight.

  • Genia Sees Bright Future for Red's Scrumhalf Mcdermott
    18 Established 1961 Sports Wednesday, April 15, 2020 Baseball, soccer Photo of the Day seasons get underway in Taiwan TAIPEI: The baseball and soccer seasons got under- way behind closed doors in Taiwan at the weekend, providing rare live action for fans at home at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic has shut down most professional sport around the globe. Taiwan has been comparatively successful in con- taining the spread of the virus, reporting to date 388 cases and six deaths in a population of around 24 mil- lion. Globally, more than 110,000 people have died from the virus. The Chinese Professional Baseball League’s much delayed start was pushed back by a further 24 hours after rain swept across the island, forcing the postponement of the traditional season-opener on Saturday. It therefore fell to Cuban lefthander Ariel Miranda, formerly of the Seattle Mariners, to throw the first pitch of the season for the Chinatrust Brothers against the Uni-President Lions at Taichung Intercontinental Baseball Stadium on Sunday. Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen posted a picture on her Facebook page on Sunday of her watching the baseball match at home, accompanied by one of her cats, and calling on everyone else to join her and watch from home. “What’s more important is once the epidemic is over, we’ll see each other at the baseball pitch!” she wrote. No fans were allowed in the 20,000-seater sta- dium to watch the Lions win 4-1, with health concerns limiting attendees to a total of 200 players, coaches, umpires, cheerleaders and journalists, local media re- ported.

Yet, what I want to believe and the reality are, sadly, seldom in agreement. Across the globe, there are those who abuse and harm animals, especially domesticated pets like dogs and cats, without remorse. Recently a short video popping up all over social media showed a western woman furious at the neglect of a small dog that was abandoned in a garbage bin. The pup had been left to die. The woman found the dog thrown in with the trash suffering from extreme cold and diarrhea.

Questo libro è dedicato a Piero Rinaldi, scomparso a Padova il 4 febbraio all'età di 65 anni, da oltre 40 anni fotografo di cronaca con la sua agenzia Candid Camera per quotidiani e fedele documentatore di rugby per diversi quotidiani veneti, riviste specializzate e libri. Rinaldi ha seguito quattro coppe del mondo di rugby a partire dalla prima edizione nel 1987 in Nuovo Zelanda, oltre a mondiali under 20 e universitari, e per tre decenni la nazionale italiana di rugby nei test in Italia e in tour in Europa e nel mondo. Dal 2000 ha seguito il torneo delle Sei nazioni. È tra i fondatori del club ad inviti del XV della Colonna di Padova, selezione veneta che ha incontrato i maggiori club continentali sino a sfidare gli All Blacks di John Kirwan nel 1991.
