    The Springboks' excess baggage fees continue to rocket at the World Cup in Tokyo

    The Springboks' excess baggage fees continue to rocket at the World Cup in Tokyo


    The champions have cleaned up at the World Rugby Awards and will have the team of the year, coach of the year and player of the year trophies rattling around in the luggage compartment when they head home.

    Rassie Erasmus is coach of the year for masterminding the 'Boks turnaround while flanker Pieter-Steph du Toit is player of the year.

    Black Fern Ruby Tui earned women's sevens player of the year and All Blacks halfback TJ Perenara try of the year for his effort against Namibia.

    Six identities, including Richie McCaw, Sir Graham Henry and Peter Fatialofa, were inducted into the hall of fame.



    New Zealand have beaten England by 21 runs in game two of their five-match Twenty20 cricket series in Wellington.

    The Black Caps posted 176 for eight and dismissed the tourists for 155.

    All-rounder Mitchell Santner took three for 25.



    The New Zealand men's hockey team have secured their spot in next year's Olympics after defeating South Korea in their two-match series, capped off with a 3-nil victory in game two at Stratford.



    The Wellington Phoenix are fuming after an officiating debacle.

    They've lost 3-2 in their A-League football match at Melbourne City, with the hosts third goal a penalty which the video assistant referee failed to overturn.

    A cross hit defender Louis Fenton's midriff and then his arm, with the lead referee awarding a spot kick, and VAR upholding it.

    The Phoenix are anchored last with no points from four games.



    Leicester's moved into third on the English Premier League ladder with a 2-nil win at Crystal Palace.



    The Breakers second half struggles in the Australian basketball league have continued in a 84-79 loss to the Perth Wildcats in Invercargill.

    The hosts led by six at the half, but were outscored by 11 in the second.



    Lydia Ko's moved up the leader board on the final day of the LPGA golf event in Taiwan.

    Entering in a tie for 42nd, Ko's carded a three-under-par 69 to finish four-under overall and in a tie for 35th, 14 shots behind play-off winner Nelly Korda.
