Skelton and Valetini missing as Schmidt shows Wallabies' hand
THE WALLABIES WILL be without heavyweight forwards Will Skelton and Rob Valetini for Sunday's clash with Fiji, their only game before taking on the British and Irish Lions in the three-Test series. La Rochelle lock Skelton and Brumbies back row Valetini are carrying injuries that have made them doubts for the opening meeting with the Lions on 19 July, while scrum-half Jake Gordon also misses out this weekend. Wallabies boss Joe Schmidt hasn't sprung any big selection surprises with his team for this weekend's meeting with Fiji in Newcastle, a couple of hours north of Sydney. Number eight Harry Wilson continues in the captaincy role he took on last year, while Noah Lolesio retains the number 10 shirt. Flanker Langi Gleeson – who will join Montpellier in France later this year – starts against Fiji in Valetini's absence. There had been speculation in Australia that Gleeson and others could be overlooked by Schmidt due to their future moves abroad, but he is rewarded for his superb season for the Waratahs. Advertisement 32-year-old Waratahs hooker Dave Porecki, who previously played for London Irish, comes into the starting XV from the cold, having last played for the Wallabies at the 2023 World Cup. Reds scrum-half Tate McDermott takes the number nine shirt as regular starter Gordon misses out through injury. Schmidt hopes to have Gordon back in time for the first Lions Test. Superstar rugby league convert Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii will continue in the Wallabies' number 13 jersey, despite playing most of his rugby at fullback for the Waratahs in Super Rugby this year. His Waratahs team-mate, 20-year-old wing Max Jorgensen, makes his return from an ankle injury for this clash with the Fijians, while Western Force flyer Harry Potter is on the other wing as Tom Wright continues at fullback. Schmidt has opted to use Ulster-bound loosehead Angus Bell off the bench as the experienced James Slipper starts in the front row. Also included among the replacements are Western Force halfbacks Nic White and Ben Donaldson, who played against the Lions last week. Reds wing/centre and Fiji native Filipo Daugunu, who wasn't with the Wallabies in Europe last autumn, comes into the number 23 shirt. Wallabies (v Fiji): 15. Tom Wright 14. Harry Potter 13. Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii 12. Len Ikitau 11. Max Jorgensen 10. Noah Lolesio 9. Tate McDermott 1. James Slipper 2. David Porecki 3. Allan Alaalatoa 4. Nick Frost 5. Jeremy Williams 6. Langi Gleeson 7. Fraser McReight 8. Harry Wilson (captain) Replacements: 16. Billy Pollard 17. Angus Bell 18. Zane Nonggorr 19. Tom Hooper 20. Carlo Tizzano 21. Nic White 22. Ben Donaldson 23. Filipo Daugunu

Emma Raducanu turns up to watch men's world number one in Wimbledon practise amid Carlos Alcaraz romance rumours
EMMA RADUCANU got ready for her clash with the women's world No 1 — by watching the men's world No 1.

And before facing the Belarusian three-time Grand Slam champion, she watched the world's top man, Jannik Sinner, practise ahead of his straight-sets victory over Aleksandar Vukic. British No 1 Raducanu said: 'I'm trying to learn by osmosis. Jannik is so effortless when he hits the ball. 'I have been trying to watch a bit more live when I am away. I watched Joao Fonseca the other day. Advertisement READ MORE IN WIMBLEDON 'I have just been practising for just an hour and ten minutes. 'I was working on a few things I will need. 'I feel good.

But if she can approach it in the same manner as her victory over Czech star Vondrousova, then maybe she could shake up the entire women's draw. Raducanu added: 'Aryna is No 1 in the world for a reason. Advertisement 'She has been so dominant in the women's game as of the last few years. 'I know it's going to be a massive challenge. I'm going to have to play some really good tennis. 'I'm going to have to be aggressive but pick my moments and not kind of be overly aggressive. You can fall into that trap, too. 'I don't think I'm going to go out there and out-power her size-wise and power-wise. Advertisement 'I'm going to have to try to be creative as well. I'm more confident in my own game. 'Having the direction over the last few months built over consistency has really helped.'

Caitlyn Jenner's manager Sophia Hutchins, 29, killed in ATV crash that saw her ‘plunge 350ft down ravine'
CAITLYN Jenner's friend and manager Sophia Hutchins has died at the age of 29. Hutchins, who first met Jenner in 2015, died after the ATV she was riding on in Malibu, California, collided into a car. 3 Sophia Hutchins (left) has died in an ATV crash Credit: Getty Images - Getty 3 Hutchins, seen at a Beverly Hills gala in 2020, plunged 350 feet into the ravine Credit: Getty The impact of the collision meant Hutchins plummeted 350 feet into a ravine after going over the shoulder of the road. There were two people in the car, according to Jenner is yet to comment on Hutchins' death. It's not yet known if she saw the crash unfold. Hutchins, who founded Lumasol, and Jenner lived together and had an extremely close relationship. The duo was first introduced to each other via a makeup artist. Hutchins became Jenner's manager in 2017 and she lived in the ex-Olympic gold medalist's home. This prompted rumors to swirl that the pair were dating. Most read in Celebrity Hutchins, who is transgender, debunked the speculation in an interview with The New York Times. She explained how she was just filling a gap that was left by Jenner's ex-wife Kris. 'I saw nobody was managing her, and there were all these people taking massive advantage,' Hutchins said. Caitlyn Jenner reunites with 'close friend' Sophia Hutchins on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! 'And I was saying: "Caitlyn, if I don't step in here and start managing you, you're going to go broke."' In April 2015, Caitlyn, formerly Bruce Jenner, came out as a transgender woman before transitioning. Kris, the mom of Kim, Khloe, Kourtney Kardashian, was married to Bruce between 1991 and 2015. Hutchins appeared in Jenner's reality TV series I am Cait that documented her transition. In 2021, Hutchins labeled reports of a romance with Jenner as fake news. 'Love the whole LGBT community but so tired of rumors that I am romantically with Caitlyn,' she said on social media. 'I am only ever with men and only ever have been. Stop the rumors! It's been years." Meanwhile, Jenner told the Sunday Times in 2023 she was very much single. 'I'm not even close to looking for a relationship,' she said. 'I'll never have a relationship in the future. I just don't see that in my life. I am not looking for that.' The pair attended events such as the White House Correspondents Dinner in April 2024.
