The BlitzBoks have their hearts broken by New Zealand at the Cape Town 7s. Man City make it 14 wins in a row, and more and more are conceding that the EPL title race is done now. Sundowns march on at the top of the PSL, the Joburg Open is to finish on Monday after heavy rains, and the English cricket team really can't behave.

Ben is at the Gariep Dam. Allister Coetzee admitted he made mistakes... but not on purpose. In soccer, the Champions League group stages are finished. Liverpool scored 7 goals to win last night, topping their group. Manchester United play City on Saturday in a massive Premier League clash. The Cape Town Sevens is going to be a jol this weekend, and Louis Oosthuizen is out of his tournament in SA because he hurt his fingers in an airport trolley.

Russia has been banned from the 2018 Winter Olympics, getting the same treatment they got in Rio. Huge amounts of football to catch up on from the PSL to the Champions League. The Joburg Open is about to get underway, so that means rain. Then the BlitzBoks look to continue their dominance in the 7s game, while Varsity Cup rugby seems to have lost the plot.

England are fighting back in Adelaide, but it's a little too late. Big night ahead in the Champions League and the PSL, Alex Hales is free to play for England again, Usain Bolt has shiny new statue and, well, that's about it really.

Russia 2018 reveals its groups, Wits back in the winner's circle and Man City just keep racking up the points. England getting burned in The Ashes, Sri Lanka getting intoxicated with Indian pollution, and Rickie Fowler and Dylan Frittelli record big wins. BlitzBoks triumph as the Boks predictably flounder.

Telkom Knockout Cup Final weekend is here, and with that a chance for Wits to try and get their season back on track. Arsenal host Man United, the Russia 2018 draw, the Boks to try a few new players finally, and Tiger might actually really be back this time.

Man City snatch a very late win in a midweek goalfest in the Premier League. A rugby player is banned for cocaine use, while the tour of Colombia is dogged by a doping scandal. Ben Stokes's criminal proceeding to drag on longer, a weekend of 7s action, and the pairings for the Hero World Championship which sees Tiger return to professional golf.

Tickets for Russia 2018 are starting to fly, but racism and discrimination will not according to FIFA. Big week in the English Premier League as the top teams negotiate some speed bumps. Big Sam could return to the league as Everton's new manager, which raises the question if there is a shortage of quality managers out there.

Is Ben Stokes joining the English team in Australia? He was spotted at the airport yesterday but the ECB are denying this. Tiger's coming back again, with Ben getting the thoughts of Mr Gary Player on the matter. Then five more Russian Olympians get banned for life because of doping.

The Ashes start predictably with a huge English loss. SuperSport United fail to get it done against TP Mazembe. Man City continue to win the Premier League, some strange draws in the PSL, a recap of the international rugby matches from the weekend and Wade Ormsby finally gets his first win on the European Tour.
