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

Aaron Rodgers was Steelers' ‘third option' at quarterback before pairing came together
The Steelers may have waited around for Aaron Rodgers to finally sign a contract, but that doesn't mean he was their No. 1 choice. In fact, the ex-Jet quarterback was apparently Pittsburgh's third choice for the position, ESPN's Adam Schefter recently reported. The Steelers announced that Rodgers inked a one-year contract with the team after a lengthy waiting game, but the decision to bring in the four-time NFL MVP was out of necessity rather than choice. Advertisement 'This was the third option for the Pittsburgh Steelers,' Schefter said during Friday's 'NFL Live' while discussing the signing. 'They were in on Matthew Stafford and couldn't get done a trade. They tried to re-sign Justin Fields, he opted to go to the New York Jets, where he will meet Rodgers on opening day. And after they couldn't get a trade done for Stafford and couldn't get Fields re-signed, they pivoted to Rodgers.' Aaron Rodgers reacts during the Jets' game against the Colts in November 2024. Robert Sabo for the NY Post The quarterback is coming off a season in which he threw 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, but it wasn't enough to help the Jets reach the lofty goals that were placed upon the team at the beginning of the year — and they finished 5-12. Advertisement The Jets opted to move on from Rodgers earlier this year during a meeting at the team's facility, which the future Hall of Famer later went on to criticize in an appearance on 'The Pat McAfee Show.' Rodgers was spotted at the Steelers' facility over the weekend, entering the building a little after 8 a.m. on Saturday. Advertisement Aaron Rodgers arrived at the Steelers' facility June 7. WTAE Rodgers' contract is worth $13.65 million and includes $10 million of guaranteed money, as well as incentives that could increase its worth up to $19.5 million. The 41-year-old will wear No. 8 during his stint with the Steelers, which will begin when Pittsburgh vists the Jets in Week 1.

'Lost for words but unbelievably proud,' says director of rugby
THE way in which Warrington Wolves had Challenge Cup glory snatched away from them left Gary Chambers feeling 'lost for words.' However, the club's director of rugby declared himself 'unbelievably proud' of how the organisation as a whole handled the occasion despite falling to defeat against Hull KR. Advertisement For the second year in a row, Chambers and The Wire must pick themselves up from Wembley heartbreak although the way in which this game turned against them may make that task even tougher. Leading 6-2 and having generally enjoyed the better of proceedings, they were just two minutes away from victory when Tom Davies' try chalked off their lead, with Mikey Lewis' conversion snatching an 8-6 victory for the Super League-leading Robins. Having opted to keep their build-up as relaxed and low-key as possible, their approach was so close to being a masterstroke and Chambers admitted he thought the players had the game in the bag. But despite the agonising way in which their day ended, he says he cannot find any criticism of how they handled things. Advertisement 'You've got to play for 80 minutes, haven't you? But I can't knock anybody in there – they're absolutely devastated,' he said when speaking to the Warrington Guardian post-match. 'They showed what they can do – they applied themselves brilliantly and I'm unbelievably proud of them, but it's just the game. 'I'm literally lost for words – I was sat there thinking we had it. 'The message coming off the pitch was that everybody was feeling good, they were in control and they knew what they had to do. 'It felt like we were in a good place – there was a bit of confusion when Duff (Matt Dufty) had to come off quick because of his injury but up until then, we were focused and the game plan was working. Advertisement 'Our prep had been good, but you just never know with this game.' Warrington are now tasked with turning around an inconsistent Super League season which sees them sit eighth in the table, two points outside of the play-off spots. They return to league action at Leeds Rhinos on Saturday and once the pain eases, Chambers expects the players to gain confidence from how they attacked the occasion. 'Before the game, the talk outside was 'what was the point in them even turning up?' he said. 'They did turn up and they more than made a spectacle of it. 'They acquitted themselves really well. They'll kick on from this and they will push on.'
