3. #RWC2011 All Blacks coach Graham Henry is trusting the the same starting XV which beat Australia to get the job done in Sunday’s World Cup final against France.

Adam Thomson has recovered from an ankle knock in time to take his place in the replacements bench, with Victor Vito forced out of the matchday 22.

The Briton, who played alongside money list rival Webb Simpson yesterday, is in a seven-way tie for the lead at the Disney Classic at Lake Buena Vista in Florida.

5. #EUROPA LEAGUE Karl Sheppard’s second-half header gave the Shamrock Rovers travelling support something to shout about in Thessaloniki last night, but it wasn’t enough to stop the Hoops from losing 2-1 in their Europa League Group A clash against PAOK.
