Leinster forward Snyman wins URC player award
Leinster second row RG Snyman has been named the 2024-25 United Rugby Championship's players' player of the season. The 30-year-old South African lock has made a significant impact in his first campaign at Leinster after moving from Irish rivals Munster, helping Leo Cullen's side reach the URC semi-finals. The award is voted for by the captain and vice-captains of the 16 URC teams and has previously been won by Leinster hooker Dan Sheehan and Munster fly-half Jack Crowley. Meanwhile, Zebre's Massimo Brunello was named coach of the season - as voted for by the league's other coaches - after leading the Italians to five wins, including rare away victories over Ulster and Edinburgh. Scarlets fly-half Ioan Lloyd won the golden boot, Cardiff's Harri Millard finished as top try scorer, while Munster's Tom Farrell was named playmaker of the season. Snyman was one of two Leinster players included in the 'Elite XV' team along with Jamie Osborne. Three players were selected, including Farrell, Craig Casey and Tadhg Beirne.

Lauren Fitzpatrick says there is more to come from Tipperary
Tipperary captain Lauren Fitzpatrick says she is proud of the progress the county has made in ladies' football over the years. Now in her 11th season, Fitzpatrick's performances between the sticks for Tipperary have grown alongside her team, who have more than held their own in senior football. Advertisement So far in 2025, Tipperary just missed out on promotion from Division Two behind Cork and Galway. Despite earning a draw against Kerry, they did not qualify for the Munster final. For Fitzpatrick, there is more to come from Tipperary, who are in Group One with Galway and Donegal. "I think for us as a group, it has been a mixed year. We finished third in Division Two, which on its own is a great result for us, being in such a tough group with the likes of Cork and Galway. "If you look at it more in depth, we probably wouldn't have been happy with a lot of our performances in the league. Advertisement "When you look at the Munster Championship, we had the same inconsistency with games, probably a little bit unhappy with the performances against Waterford and Cork. "I really do think nobody has seen the best of us yet. We are a very, very strong team, and I think there is a lot more to come from us. We just need to build consistency in our games. "We are a very determined group, and we want to strive for more." In recent seasons, Tipperary have demonstrated their ability to compete with the best at the senior level, but have yet to progress to the knockout stages. Advertisement In a competitive group and what looks set to be a very open championship, anything can happen. The Tipperary goalkeeper says she would not be surprised if there is a shock winner come August, and she has confidence in what Tipperary can achieve this summer. "It is a championship for any team to win. I would not be surprised if we see an underdog come through and cause a surprise in the final. "It is great for the game. It gives that bit more intensity to each round game; there is something there to fight for. "We are going to take it game by game and give it our all. It would be wrong not to reach for the stars and not want all three cups at the start of the year. "You have to be realistic as well in what you are looking for. Personally, if we can improve on last year and hopefully get out of our group and into the All-Ireland quarter-finals, I think that is a huge improvement for Tipp football."

Sir Bradley Wiggins thanks Lance Armstrong for help in battling drug addiction
Sir Bradley Wiggins has described disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong as an 'inspiration' and thanked him for his support in the five-time Olympic champion's battle with drug addiction. Wiggins revealed last month that he became addicted to cocaine following his retirement from the sport in 2016. Advertisement The 2012 Tour de France winner is now 12 months sober and attends regular therapy sessions, but paid tribute to the role of Armstrong, who was stripped of his cycling titles for using performance-enhancing drugs. Asked about Armstrong, Wiggins told BBC Five Live: 'He's been a great strength to me and a great inspiration to me, and it's on a human level. 'Lance has been very, very good to me. That's not something everyone wants to hear because people only like to hear the bad stuff. 'You can only take someone how they treat you and Lance has been a source of inspiration to me and a constant source of help towards me. And is one of the main factors why I'm in this position I am today mentally and physically, so, I'm indebted to him for that.' Advertisement Wiggins admitted he does not speak with Armstrong every day, but will work for him this summer on his podcast The Move at the Tour de France. The 45-year-old father-of-two has been candid since retirement about the sexual abuse he experienced as a teenager and his drug addiction. Sport Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy or Bryson DeChambe... Read More 'We are all humans at the end of the day and it is a human story and I've had lots of events in my life that informed the problems I had in my life post-cycling,' Wiggins explained. 'I'd never had therapy or counselling during my time as a cyclist because you're perceived as a cyclist – or certainly when you're an Olympic champion or the Tour de France winner – to be incredibly mentally strong. Advertisement 'It took me a long time to adapt to normal life, as it were, and all the things that contribute to keeping me in a steady place.'
