All Blacks great Stu Wilson, known for his ebullient personality and pioneering play, dies at 70
Associated Press WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Stu Wilson, an elusive All Blacks winger whose playing style reflected his ebullient personality, has died. He was 70. Wilson's death was confirmed by New Zealand Rugby, which did not specify a cause. He died in his sleep Sunday at his home in Tauranga on New Zealand's North Island. Wilson was a natural joker whose play was many years ahead of its time. He foreshadowed the larger, stronger wingers who are now commonplace but he also had pace, balance and an ability to break tackles. Wilson scored 19 tries in 35 tests for the All Blacks which, at the time of his retirement, was the all-time record for New Zealand. That included a hat-trick of tries against the British and Irish Lions at Dunedin in 1983. He captained the All Blacks on their 1983 tour to Britain and formed a brilliant attacking partnership at provincial and international level with his fellow winger and friend Bernie Fraser. After retiring Wilson became an amusing and popular commentator for television. David Campese, an ex-Australia winger who made his test debut opposite Wilson in 1982, told Television New Zealand 'as a player, Stu made rugby look easy and earned huge respect as captain in 1983.' 'He had a swerve to beat anyone, extreme pace, intellect and power, able to break through tacklers, making him a try-scoring machine.' ___ AP rugby: in this topic

Rafael Nadal Sends Message After French Open Final
Rafael Nadal Sends Message After French Open Final originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Tennis legend Rafael Nadal is the most accomplished man in Roland Garros history, and the "King of Clay" stamped the 2025 French Open men's singles final with a lasting message. Advertisement Nadal, who won 14 French Open titles and at one point won 81 consecutive matches on clay, was honored at Roland Garros on May 25 as this year's major event began. The Spaniard was joined by Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray as he received a loud ovation from the crowd in Paris. He played his last match at Roland Garros alongside Carlos Alcaraz in the men's doubles tournament at the 2024 Olympic Games. On Sunday, it was No. 2 Alcaraz and No. 1 Jannik Sinner who carried on the legacy with an epic final that drew a response from Nadal on social media.

The young Spaniard battled back to force a fifth set tiebreak, claiming his second consecutive French Open men's singles title. Advertisement At 5 hours and 29 minutes, it made history as the longest final match in Roland Garros history. It was also the second-longest Grand Slam men's singles final, behind only Djokovic vs. Nadal in the 2012 Australian Open (5:53). Congratulations from the "King of Clay" were in order after the incredible display from both athletes. "What an incredible @rolandgarros final!" Nadal posted on X in Spanish. "Congratulations @carlosalcaraz!" "Congrats also @janniksin for the great battle," he added in English in the same post. Like Nadal, Alcaraz was quick to give kudos to his opponent after their historic battle. Advertisement "I want to start with Jannik," Alcaraz said on the court after the win. "It is amazing the level you have... You are going to be champion not once, but many many times. It is a privilege to share the court with you."
