Your point about the SVNS takes me back to the days of SupeRugby, or as I read it, soup rugby. Why can’t we simply spell correctly?

Appreciate the cycling coverage. Here's hoping some better Giro coverage becomes available in NZ

But on the flipside, there are highlights on YouTube. Aside from key stages, that's probably enough for me given it's on in the middle of the night

A fringe, lunatic sport I know, but Courtney Dauwalter might be the most dominant athlete on the planet at the moment.

Winning Western States, UTMB and Hardrock 100 mile races over the course of three months last year and going undefeated through 2024, including a win at Mt Fuji last weekend, is outrageous.

Great person too- well worth a Google if you don't know her.

Thanks for the cycling coverage. Best bet for viewing is a VPN for free access to SBS on demand.
