Hougaard, Experience and Luck (Springboks vs Wales)
The Springboks had their hands full at Wellington against a very good and fun to watch Welsh side, but a bit of luck, a bit of controversial officiating, great defense and one Francois Hougaard try were enough to hand them an opening match 17-16 win in their title defense campaign.

Floyd Mayweather Busy Promoting Himself and Other Boxers
Floyd Mayweather has so much on his plate these days he can’t keep his mouth shut about it.

Ben Youngs Just About Enough (England vs Argentina)
This wasn’t the performance Martin Johnson expected from his 2011 Six Nations winning side. No one expected Jonny Wilkinson to miss so much.

Rain Delay Ain’t a Problem for Roger (Federer vs Tsonga)
It’s not like Roger Federer has got an easier opponent waiting for him in the Semi Finals – Novak Djokovic, the hottest thing in world tennis, but beating Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in straight sets, avenging that Wimbledon defeat and and coming out firing after another rain delay has got to have Federer pleased with the way he’s playing right now. In my opinion, the best performer so far in the US Open.
