Luke Littler survives scare in Australian Darts Masters to reach quarter-finals
Luke Littler survived a scare in the Australian Darts Masters as he won a final-leg decider to progress through to the quarter-finals. The world champion was looking like he would exit a World Series event at the first hurdle for the first time as he laboured against world number 94 Haupai Puha. The New Zealander was the better player and had the darts at 5-5, but had to watch Littler showcase his champion's instinct and claim the deciding leg for a 6-5 victory. Littler admitted he did not go into the game with the best preparation. 'It wasn't the best from myself, but that's what happens in the first game,' he told ITV X. 'It's not always the prettiest, but I am happy to get over the line. 'I had to grind it out, I'll be honest, not much practice has been put in, people don't see behind the scenes, body clock, not sleeping, it has an effect.' Littler will play Damon Heta in the last eight, while world number one Luke Humphries will take on Mike De Decker. Humphries also had a slow start in his match against New Zealander Jonny Tata, losing the first two legs, but came back to win 6-3. Defending champion Gerwyn Price, who beat Littler in last year's final, got off to a winning start, beating Joe Comito 6-3 while top seed Stephen Bunting saw off Brody Klinge. Heta won 6-0, while there were also wins for Josh Rock, De Decker and Chris Dobey.

Darts star Gerwyn Price sheds TWO STONE in stunning body transformation after calling out Jake Paul
GERWYN PRICE has lost more than two stone in weight this year – though he may scoff a McDonald's meal if he retains the Australian Darts Masters. The Welshman, 40, cuts a much slimmer figure these days after shedding the pounds over the past eight months. 2 The Iceman, a father of two, decided to go on a drastic health kick and is feeling the benefits on the oche. Price, a former rugby league hooker, says his dramatic body transformation is here to stay and the result of fitness and eating healthier food. Though he claims he played 'rubbish' in patches during a 6-3 win over erratic Australian Joe Comito, the world No.6 is hoping to defend this World Series of Darts event in Wollongong. He said: 'I think I have lost between 13-15kgs. About two stone. 'It is through dieting, getting back in the gym, looking after myself. 'I don't think it affects me physically when I'm throwing but mentally it definitely helps. I feel comfortable. 'I'm in some smaller clothes. I feel better in myself. Mentally it's a lot better. 'I tried to squeeze into a large size a little bit too soon but after a month or two, I was able to fit into it. It was alright then. 'Is this a long-term approach? I am not sure. I have started craving McDonald's now and again. 'I was having one at 6.30am. So, give it another month, if I keep doing that, it will be back on!' Gerwyn Price says he had to control his emotions whilst playing against Daryl Gurney Price – who smashed Luke Littler 8-1 in the 2024 final Down Under – wore an Aussie gold-coloured shirt to try and win over the home fans. It has been a difficult trip for him to the other side of the world and he is not yet operating on the correct time zone. The former world champion said: 'The sleeping patterns ain't what I want it to be at the minute. 'I was up really early today. Even in the practice room, I didn't really feel it. It's difficult to shrug off the jetlag. 'I'm still stuck on UK time. I'm sleeping all day and awake all night. 'If I stay awake quite late tonight then the jetlag will be gone, which will be good. I need a good night's sleep ahead of Saturday. 'I wear a different shirt whenever I go, in the Premier League and World Series of Darts events. I choose the colours. I picked this one. 'Looking back to 2024, since I have had my Tour Card that was probably the worst season I've had. I was absolute rubbish. 'So, The final of the Australian Darts Masters was a good game. I watched it back on the TV a couple of times in the practice room. 'I thought to myself, I have dropped a couple of pounds since then, haven't I?'

Organisers of rugby union's breakaway R360 league look to sign up top coaches as part of plans for 'generational change' with Louis Rees-Zammit amongst players to have joined
Organisers of rugby union's new breakaway league have now turned their attention to signing up top coaches as part of their plans to shake-up the game's established order. R360 wants to create 'generational change' in the sport by creating eight new franchise men's teams made up of the world's best players who will play all around the globe. As previously reported by Daily Mail Sport, the likes of Fenway Sports Group, the Glazer family and Red Bull have expressed interest in franchise ownership while it is understood close to 200 players have already agreed to join for the slated R360 start of summer 2026. They include Wales wing Louis Rees-Zammit, who has confirmed his rugby return after a stint in the NFL. R360 is now being seen as a genuine proposition by World Rugby – who are co-ordinating how to respond to the threat – and the game's individual national governing bodies. There is an acknowledgment that both leading players and coaches will be attracted by the proposition of joining R360 both from a financial and lifestyle perspective. R360, run by England 2003 World Cup winner Mike Tindall and leading agent Mark Spoors, are understood to be close to sealing the required number of circa 200 players they need by September to get up and running which is why coaches are now their next priority. Any coaches who join R360 will be tasked with playing an entertaining brand of rugby to attract new fans to the competition which will follow a Formula1-style global model. Both players and coaches who sign must be out of contract with their current employers by the summer of 2026 to take part in the first season. R360 was a hot topic of conversation in Australia between rugby's top bosses during key meetings held during the British & Irish Lions tour. 'I think it's a genuine potential disruption,' Welsh Rugby Union chief executive Abi Tierney said of the proposals being put forward by R360. 'None of us are thinking this isn't going to happen. It might not happen. But we're better off planning for it to happen and make sure we do our best to respond to that.' Former Wales coach Warren Gatland looks unlikely to be joining R360 with reports in the Far East on Friday suggesting he is set to take charge of Japanese side Urayasu D-Rocks. R360 has no plans to disrupt international rugby. But any England players who join the rebel league would have to forgo their Test careers to do so. English rugby rules state players must be employed by a Premiership club to represent Steve Borthwick's national side. For R360 to be approved by World Rugby, its bosses would have to show it complies with the regulations stipulated by the game's governing body. That includes player release for international windows. Crucially, R360 approval would have to be tabled for World Rugby Council consideration by one of the game's national unions. It is unlikely a major union such as the RFU or WRU would do so given they are potentially at risk of losing out should R360 get off the ground. The WRU is set to cut the number of its professional teams from four to most likely two, so Tierney is aware Wales players may be attracted to R360 given that it is uncertain as things stand which teams will continue to exist long term. The WRU plans to confirm in the coming weeks its preferred option for the future with a period of consultation with stakeholders then set to take place. Wales captain Jac Morgan, who impressed with the Lions in Australia, is one of a number of Welsh players out of contract at the end of the forthcoming season and would be a leading target for R360 as a result. 'At the heart of all this, we want to provide stability and the best for Welsh rugby,' Tierney said. 'Contracts start to be talked about in October and R360's aim is to be up and running by next summer. I'm absolutely aware of that.'
