Wallabies intent on avoiding losing series 3-0 to the British and Irish Lions
Barbs that the Wallabies were unworthy opponents for the British and Irish Lions have the Australians desperate to avoid losing a series 3-0 to the tourists for the first time since 1904. Pride will well and truly be on the line in Sydney on Saturday night when the Wallabies attempt to prevent the Lions going home with wins in all three Tests after victories in Brisbane and Melbourne. That hasn't happened since it occurred 121 years go when the Lions, then called British Isles, won two Tests in Sydney and one in Brisbane, and restricted Australia to just three points for the entire series. If that's not enough motivation for the Wallabies to win at Accor Stadium, there is also the hurt of the second Test loss at the MCG, where Australia led for almost the entire match only be beaten 29-26 via a last-minute try that came after a controversial decision not to award the hosts a penalty for an alleged infringement by Lions forward Jac Morgan, who seemed to illegally strike Wallabies replacement Carlo Tizzano in the back of the net. It hurts but your support means everything ðŸ'›ðŸ'š We can’t wait to play for you again in Sydney. #Wallabies #ACheerAndAHalf #LionsTour2025 — Wallabies (@wallabies) July 27, 2025 Also driving the Wallabies to win in Sydney will be the pre-series talk that Lions should have toured South Africa to face the world champions rather than meet a weak Australia. 'It's another thing to add into the pot for things to get up for the game,' Wallabies lock Nick Frost said. 'We're definitely keen to rip in. Going out there, playing in front of your friends, for your family and for your nation, and on top of that, playing against the Lions – it's a massive game. 'We know there are so many things that we've got to improve on, but there are some really good parts to our game, and we're really looking forward to it. 'We're starting to play a better brand of rugby and a more attacking brand of rugby that suits some of our skilled players. 'The more games we can put together for longer periods of time, we're going to start to see some improvements on the scoreboard, and some more wins. It is a process.' Winger Max Jorgensen said while the Wallabies were 'gutted' to loss at the MCG, attention had switched to winning the final Test of the series. 'We put in such a big effort – it's a tough pill to swallow,' Jorgensen said. 'Everyone knows that, but there's a big focus on this weekend now and winning this game on Saturday.' The Wallabies have added prop Aidan Ross to their extended squad ahead of Saturday's clash, while winger Harry Potter has remained in Melbourne after injuring his hamstring in the weekend loss.

‘F***ed up': Nikita Tszyu claps back at ‘ignorant' pundits, reveals truth about Fundora stoppage
Nikita Tszyu has hit out at 'ignorant' fans and a 'f***ed up' boxing world while slamming commentary around his older brother Tim 'quitting' on his stool against Sebastian Fundora. Meanwhile, longtime Tszyu family rival Michael Zerafa – who fights on the same August pay-per-view card as Nikita – claims 'The Butcher' is actually a better fighter than his older brother. Nikita returns to action for the first time in a year against German-based Macedonian Lulzim Ismaili (12-0) on August 20 at the ICC Theatre in Sydney, and was ringside as Tim was beaten by a much-improved Fundora at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. After a week of speculation, Nikita says it was trainer and uncle, Igor Goloubev, who stopped the fight after the seventh round. 'Tim just didn't have anything left in him and the corner stopped it,' Nikita told Code Sports. 'They visually saw that he was out, and that he no longer had the strength. 'Igor stopped it. My uncle stopped it. I'm 99% sure of that.' That hasn't stopped a wave of online criticism being aimed at Tim, with many fans and pundits saying he quit on his stool, despite saying just days earlier that he was willing to die in the ring. 'I've been seeing a lot of 'quit, quit, quit,' but it wasn't the case,' Nikita said. 'It was done. It was a losing battle. 'It's just a bit of ignorance and it's a shame that it happens. It's a shame that we're so flawed as a society that everyone has to play the blame game. 'There's no dishonour in that fight. 'Tim fought his ass off, did everything he could and wasn't able to finish the job. He got beat. There's no dishonour in that. 'Why's everyone slamming him? It's kind've fucked up. 'Do you expect him to die on his feet? The boxing world is messed up.' Hall of Famer Jeff Fenech was one of many to slam Tim's corner in the days after the fight, and urged the Sydneysider to make changes to his team. Nikita brushed off those criticisms and will use the same personnel, including Goloubev, cutman Mark Gambin and trainer Dave Barker, on August 20. 'I'll always use them,' he said. 'I feel most comfortable with them, and if there's anyone I'd want to lose with, it's them. 'My mentality is just different than most boxers. I don't think there's dishonour in losing. You go into a fight, you prepare your best. 'If you don't prepare, that's the most dishonourable thing you can do. We always come in as prepared as possible. 'If we win, we win. If we lose we lose, but we always fight our ass off. 'The UFC is the perfect example of how it should be. People fight, they win, they lose, everyone gets praised. 'In boxing, everyone just gets slammed. It's a weird dynamic.' Nikita has been out of action since his August 2024 Fight of the Year win over Koen Mazoudier. Since then, 'The Butcher' has battled with a hand injury, got married and had his first child, a daughter named Curiosity. Lulzim will be his first international opponent, and there are plans for Nikita to face Zerafa later this year. He wouldn't talk about a potential fight with Zerafa, who fights American Mikey Dahlman (18-1) in the co-main event on August 20, while 'The Pretty Boy' says he's now focused on landing a big-money fight with the older Tszyu brother. He even claims Nikita is better than Tim. 'The grudge match isn't with Nikita, it's with me and Tim,' Zerafa said of his years-long rivalry with Tim. 'Nikita's still young in his career, I'm ranked higher than him, and now, higher than Tim. 'He's crafty and strong, and I actually think he's a better fighter than Tim. 'He's still raw, he's still fresh in the sport, but he's doing great things. He's a weird personality – he's the weird guy, I'm the bad guy. 'But it's one fight at a time. That's Nikita's thing, so keep doing it.' The August 20 undercard also sees the return of Sydneysider Brock Jarvis against Sam Beck (7-0) for his first bout since his defeat to Keith Thurman in March. Rising Sydney superstar Ahmad Reda is on the hunt for a new opponent after Brisbane power puncher Billy Polkinghorn was forced out through injury. Further down the card, heavyweight slugger Brandon Grach is in a five-rounder, while Jasmine Parr and Isaias Sette will also feature.

New signing Jaiden Kucharski and captain Ben Garuccio unable to play for Western United due to FIFA registration ban
Western United could lose recent signing Jaiden Kucharski before he plays a competitive game for the club due to a registration ban that will prevent him and club captain Ben Garuccio from playing in an Australia Cup round-of-32 clash against Sydney FC on Tuesday night. United announced the signing of ex-Sky Blues attacker Kucharski earlier this month despite knowing that he could not be registered due to an ongoing FIFA ban stemming from a unresolved financial dispute involving the club's former striker Aleksandar Prijovic. The ban also applies to left-back Garuccio, as he didn't re-sign with United until after he had become a free agent, meaning he needs to be re-registered. As a result, the pair can't play against the Sydneysiders at Ironbark Fields, and Football Australia is also investigating whether United breached the ban by fielding Kucharski in a friendly game last week against NPL Victoria club Oakleigh Cannons. It continues the turmoil that the financially embattled United finds itself in. The club's proposed new ownership structure, which was announced in May and involves KAM Melbourne, a subsidiary of American company KAM Sports buying a $100m controlling stake in the club and its parent company Western Melbourne Group, is yet to be approved by the Australian Professional Leagues, which runs the A-League. The lengthy delay for approval is understood to be because the APL is yet to receive KAM Melbourne's completed ownership proposal. The ongoing uncertainty about United's future, as well as its inability to play, has 23-year-old Kucharski and his representatives assessing his immediate future. Other A-League clubs are interested in the services of the former Australian under-17 international, and there are suggestions he might seek to be released from his two-year contract unless the registration ban is resolved, and that could be dependent on KAM Melbourne's majority ownership of United being approved. United's financial problems meant players and staff were paid late for three successive months until this month's wages arrived on time. Superannuation payments were due on Monday. United will face a Sydney side that won't include Brazilian star Douglas Costa, who is yet to arrive back in Australia following an extended off-season break. Sydney's bid to sign former Bayern Munich star Thomas Muller has failed, with the German veteran electing to continue his career in America's Major League Soccer competition, most likely with Canada-based club Vancouver Whitecaps. In other Australia Cup round-of-32 games on Tuesday night, Gold Coast Knights host Auckland FC, Southern Districts Raiders meet Macarthur FC, and Olympic Kingsway take on Melbourne Victory. In Sunday's all A-League battle, Wellington Phoenix knocked Perth Glory out of the Cup, winning a penalty shootout 8-7 after scores were locked at 1-1 at the end of normal time and extra time.
