Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian in the middle of the Blue Continent. In rugby union: Argentina won their third consecutive Men’s title with a 36-12 win over New Zealand for the HSBC SVNS Vancouver 7s title and France the bronze, while New Zealand beat France 35-19 to claim women’s gold as hosts Canada claim bronze. The fifth round of the HSBC SVNS 2024 takes place in Los Angeles this weekend. In rugby league: And the hype continues! NFL legend Rob Gronkowski has been shown rugby league for the first time and the four-time Super Bowl champion was left stunned. Gronkowski commentated a series of NRL highlights from last season after introducing the segment as “the closest thing to football, but without pads”. In SportsBiz: Apple is entering the second season of its 10-year, US$2.5Billion deal for exclusive global rights to all MLS games. Although Apple and the MLS don’t release specific subscriber numbers for MLS Season Pass, the count was said to have surpassed 2 million in 2023, according to Sports Business Journal. While Apple certainly wants to see subscriber growth, the US$250Million annual rights fee is chump change for a company with a US$2.8Trillion market cap. The tech giant is paying a reported US$85M annually for Friday night MLB games, and is still expected to bid on NBA rights this year. In Combat Sports: WWE Superstar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will appear at multiple wrestling events on the road to Wrestlemania 40. “You can feel the uptick, excitement, energy, & disruption happening in pro wrestling,” the star shared in an Instagram post to his nearly 400 million followers. “It’s super f**king cool to see.” These appearances from The Rock will boost WWE’s viewership, as everyone wants to see him step into the ring. WrestleMania 40 is set to go-down at Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia on April 6 and 7including a title match between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes for the WWE Universal Championship. Finally only in the USA: New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft has left NFL fans puzzled with a bizarre Taylor Swift take. The Patriots boss said the singer should have chosen former New England tight end, Rob Gronkowski rather than Travis Kelce, when she looked for a boyfriend. “Maybe she should have been dating Gronk. He’s better looking,” the 82 year old Kraft said. Er boss, Gronkowski is already in a stable long-term relationship with model Camille Kostek. And that’s a wrap!
