Japan scrum-half Saito extends Toulouse deal
Saito's Toulouse contract was due to finish at the end of this season but the 27-year-old has impressed in the absence of the injured Antoine Dupont.
The Japanese player has been a solid back-up for Paul Graou, pushed into the starting No 9 shirt after the club and France captain's knee ligament injury, and has played 19 games this season, most off the bench.
Saito, capped 21 times by Japan, will no doubt have more game time as Dupont's return to action is not expected before October.

England's Woakes in the wickets against India A as Rahul hits a hundred
Woakes has been included in England's squad to face India at Headingley in the first of a five-Test series starting on June 20, after missing the recent innings win over Zimbabwe and much of the early county season with an ankle injury. The 36-year-old seamer produced a fine opening spell of 2-8 in six overs on the first day of the second-string England Lions' second unofficial Test against India A at Wantage Road, including having rising star Yashasvi Jaiswal lbw for 17. Jaiswal, player of the series when England lost 4-1 in India last year, is set open open the batting for the tourists in Leeds. Woakes also had India A captain Abhimanyu Easwaran leg-before in his first burst before removing Karun Nair later on to finish the first day of four with 3-50 from 17 overs. But experienced batsman KL Rahul, included in India's Test squad for the Test series, made 116, with his century coming off 151 balls, as India reached stumps on 319-7. Woakes, speaking after the close, said: "It's been a frustrating start to the season. It would have been nice to have played a few more games, but the ankle wasn't really playing ball, so I had to give it a bit longer." The all-rounder added: "I'm one that needs time and days in the field to feel fully prepared from a body perspective as well as a bowling perspective. "It was a good day, a good run out. It's always good to come up against strong opposition when you know you're going into a Test series which is going to be hard fought." © 2025 AFP

Uzbekistan coach says historic World Cup spot for 'our entire people'
A 0-0 draw at the United Arab Emirates on Thursday was enough to seal the landmark with a game to go in Asian qualifying for the 2026 World Cup in North America. The expansion of the tournament from 32 to 48 teams has given traditional outsiders such as Uzbekistan the chance to break into the top ranks of world football. "We have come a long way and achieved an important result," their coach Timur Kapadze said, according to the Asian Football Confederation. "We congratulate our entire people and our president. This victory belongs to all of us. "Yesterday and today the phone calls have not stopped." Uzbekistan started competing as an independent nation in the 1990s, following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Backed by state funding, Uzbekistan are one of Asia's fastest-developing footballing nations. They are ranked 57th in the world. "Everyone said they would support us and pray for us, the wishes for victory were a great inspiration for us," said Kapadze, who replaced Srecko Katanec as head coach in January. "My players showed determination in every game, they did their best, and that is why we achieved the result." Footage shared on social media showed the players, draped in national flags, mobbing Kapadze in the press room after getting the point they needed. Uzbekistan are second behind also qualified Iran in Group A with five wins, three draws and one defeat. They play their final qualifier on Tuesday home to Qatar in the capital Tashkent. © 2025 AFP

Midak bids to deliver poignant victory in 'Aga Khan's' Derby
Adding to the potential for a fairytale, Midak is prominent French trainer Francis Graffard's first runner in the race considered to be the 'blue riband' of flat racing. The Aga Khan, for decades a leading owner/breeder of thoroughbreds and whose grandfather Aga Khan III also won the Derby five times, died aged 88 in February. Graffard, 48, says it is coincidental the "historic" Aga Khan colours, of green top with red epaulettes and a green cap will be represented. Midak impressed Graffard so much he persuaded Aga Khan Studs to pay £75,000 ($101,500) to supplement him on Monday for the race. "When I came up with the idea of entering him I did not know it was being renamed in his honour," he told AFP in a phone interview. "Circumstances have colluded, it is great. "So it makes me even more excited. Definitely makes the fact Midak is running even more special. "They are prestigious and historic racing colours." Graffard said triumphing at his first attempt would be magical for the Aga Khan's family. "Yes, you dream about these days," he said. "However, we know how hard it is to win Group One races, especially a Derby. "It is my first runner in the race, we will learn plenty of things and hopefully come back in the future." He will face 18 rivals as he bids to become only the fourth French winner of the Derby in the past 60 years -- the greatest of them all, Sea Bird, triumphing in 1965. Graffard has won one classic for Aga Khan Studs this season, Zarigana benefitting from Shes Perfect's disqualification in the French 1000 Guineas, prompting unsavoury behaviour from the latter's owners who yelled "It's a joke" at the Aga Khan's daughter Princess Zahra as she was interviewed. 'Little bit crazy' Graffard, 54, has been heavily involved in the racing operation for many years. Although he was assistant trainer for a couple of years to Alain de Royer Dupre, the Aga's principal trainer until he retired in 2021, his encounters with him were rare. "No, unfortunately I only met him twice," said Graffard. "I would have loved to have gone racing with him and learned from his experience. "However, Princess Zahra is very experienced and it is really interesting to make plans with her." This teamwork has resulted in them entering Midak and pitting their wits against Delacroix -- bidding to give Irish trainer Aidan O'Brien a record-extending 11th winner -- and father/son partnership John and Thady Gosden's Damysus. Midak might never have even been a contender given that Graffard at one point considered gelding, or castrating, him -- geldings are barred from running in the Derby -- owing to his "tricky temperament". "He was really difficult to train," said Graffard. "But I decided I would take him to the races before I resorted to (gelding) and see how he fared. "In his second race at Chantilly he was very green and jumped the road crossing the track, but he ended up winning nicely." Things went smoother on his last start, winning the Group Three Prix Greffulhe, the same race that Pour Moi, France's last winner of the Derby in 2011, also captured. "He ran much more professionally," said Graffard. "He is basically improving all the time." Graffard says this season has only underlined that he made the right decision in opting to become a trainer rather than pursuing a career as a lawyer. "It is a little bit crazy to think in the next fortnight we have two runners at Epsom then the Prix Diane and after that Royal Ascot," he said. "It is the dream job." © 2025 AFP
