    The Blues new recruit admits his introduction to New Zealand rugby's been a bit of a shock to the system

    The Blues new recruit admits his introduction to New Zealand rugby's been a bit of a shock to the system


    English centre Joe Marchant will start in the midfield for tonight's Super Rugby opener against the Chiefs at Eden Park.

    Marchant says from his experiences so far, the style of rugby's a lot different.



    The Black Caps will have to overcome the pain of another super over defeat in tonight's fourth Twenty20 match with India in Wellington.

    New Zealand were forced into sudden death in the third T20 and lost by three runs in the ensuing super over.

    First ball's at 8pm.



    The Breakers' star player is happy to push his body to the limit, as they continue their Australian basketball league playoff push against Adelaide tonight.

    Swingman Scotty Hopson's been immense in the second half of the season, averaging 19 points a game, while producing many clutch performances.

    Hopson suffered a knee injury early in the campaign, and says despite some aches and pains, he's pushing on.
