FORMER IRELAND INTERNATIONAL Peter Stringer has demonstrated his enduring worth this season and was last night named Sale Sharks’ player of the year.

Steve Diamond’s side sit six points off the play-off spots with fixtures against Gloucester and Newcastle Falcons to come.

Look, Byrds and boxing just don’t mix.
@Séamus Ó Lochlainn: You’ve been waiting all day for another article on the fight just to say that, haven’t you? Haha
@Johnny: Ah, no just came across the report there had no idea what had happened – it was too good an opportunity to miss though!
Now awaiting outrage from some corner….
@Séamus Ó Lochlainn: No outrage mate…. nobody cares about you. sorry.
@Brendan Heery: So outrage means somebody cares about you? Must have had a sad childhood ya sap
“Gennady Golovkin has launched a scathing attack on the points decision ” When ?? Prob one of the most humble legends around
@Gar Meeloy: As the man said in the ring, he still has his belts
Shocker of a decision. GGG by four rounds. Feel bad for the guy. He’s been avoided throughout his career and when a huge fight comes around (which Canelo avoided several times) he gets done out of the decision by an incompetent or corrupt judge.
Crazy difference in scoring. I thought GGG won it at the time but I could see it being a draw too.
All of canelo fight have one ridiculous scorecard from a judge,trout, Lara and cotto all had judges giving canelo 9 or 10 rounds when they were clearly close fights trout fight even had open scoring which made no sense to use, Lara fight he should have lost, the draw score against mayweather even when he ko’d khan one judge had him 4-1 up at the time even though khan was clearly winning until that point. It cannot be a coincidence that every fight he has that goes to judges has atleast one giving him 8-10 rounds when the fight clearly does not reflect such scores
