Saints, led by Fin Smith and Henry Pollock, showed why they are the masters of divine rugby in final win over Exeter There is no such thing as the “right” winner. The only winner is the one with the most points come the final whistle. All the same, nobody who has watched the entirety of this edition of the Prem could possibly begrudge Northampton this latest gong. They have been by some distance the team of the season. And now they have the silverware , if not to prove it, to justify their prowess. This was not quite the exhilarating, heart-in-mouth contest another remarkable season of glorious domestic rugby deserved. If anything, it was a final that featured more in the way of outstanding defence, but two yellow cards, alas, supplied the backdrop to the decisive scores, one for each side, 19 points scored while either side disadvantaged.

US forces monitoring Strait of Hormuz to ensure it stays open The US military on Saturday denied Iran's claims that it had closed the Strait of Hormuz, saying the critical waterway remained open and that US forces were monitoring the situation to ensure that it continued. "Iran does not control the Strait of Hormuz," US Central Command spokesperson Navy Captain Tim Hawkins told Reuters. "Traffic continues to flow, and US forces are monitoring the situation to ensure this remains the case." Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps declared the Strait of Hormuz shut earlier on Saturday and warned ships not to approach the waterway, casting new doubt on the future of a ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran meant to pave the way for in-depth peace talks. Container vessels and ships are docked along a pier at the Khor Fakkan Container Terminal, the only natural deep-sea port in the region and one of the major container ports in Sharjah Emirate, along the Gulf of Oman on 19 June 2026.

Iceland is one of only three countries that still openly permit whaling, alongside Norway and Japan – despite international opprobrium from the public and animal welfare organisations. A protester chained himself to the mast of the vessel before it left the port of Reykjavik on Friday. He climbed down in the evening and was escorted...

Mauricio Pochettino had to do without his best player against Australia. But Ricardo Pepi helped the Americans build attacks in different ways Once it was clear that Christian Pulisic’s calf could keep him out of Friday’s match against Australia , Mauricio Pochettino had a lot of options to consider. There is no like-for-like alternative to Pulisic, still the United States’ most important player. Australia entered this game with a point to prove, wanting to build off of their opening win over Turkey with a statement result against the tournament co-hosts. As was the case when the teams met for a friendly in October, the Socceroos were set up to operate in a low defensive block, with five along the backline and a swarming, zonal marking scheme in front of them. That system can be quite effective against a team who play with just one striker, as the US have for most of the 21st century. Continue reading...
