Venter cited for alleged eye gouge in Glasgow win over Leicester
Henco Venter is a doubt for Glasgow Warriors' Champions Cup quarter-final at Leinster on Friday after being cited for alleged eye-gouging against Leicester Tigers.The experienced South African loose forward scored two tries in the 43-19 win over Leicester at Scotstoun on Saturday in a player-of-the-match display.The complaint suggests Venter made the illegal contact with Dan Cole in the second minute of the match just before the visitors scored the opening try.No action was taken at the time.Glasgow attack coach Nigel Carolan called Venter "a gentleman", insisting "whatever happened was an accident".On the prospect of losing a key player for such an important game in Dublin, Carolan added: "It would be unfortunate because he's such a good-natured person. It's not in his intention to hurt anyone or to cause harm, especially with all the cameras that are around. It's kind of silly, but it was just unfortunate and something that we'll just have to deal with."

Sam Burns fires a 65 on day two of the US Open at Oakmont
Thriston Lawrence, for instance, stood on the third tee for well over 20 minutes waiting to hit. The South African was hanging about for so long, he was just about covered in a light dusting of stoor by the time he shuffled into the address position. The six-lane interstate that carves its way through Oakmont probably moved quicker in a gridlock. With its relentless perils, pitfalls, menace and mischief, this storied expanse of golfing terrain was never going to be played at a brisk pace, was it? Taming a beast like Oakmont can take a while. Sam Burns managed it, though. In this brutal battle to survive, Burns thrived. His splendid five-under-par 65 had the Ryder Cup player setting the early clubhouse pace on three-under after the morning wave of starters. The 28-year-old, who was runner-up in last week's Canadian Open, negotiated his way around Oakmont obstacles with the kind of careful plotting you'd get with a cartographer running his finger over a map. Two-over after Thursday's opening round, Burns made the turn in four-under, having started on the 10th tee. He spilled his only shot of the day on the 10th, but further birdies at the second and fourth added lustre to his card. A raking putt of some 20-feet on the last to save his par put the tin lid on a fine shift at this unyielding coalface. 'I didn't really think of much of a score, the golf course is really too difficult to try to figure out what's a good score and what's not,' said Burns, who finished ninth in last year's US Open. Putting on greens that can be as slick as a marble staircase is not for the faint-hearted. Holing one from 20 odd feet, like he did for that par on the last, must have felt like finding the holy grail. 'You have putts where, even from 15 or 20 feet, you're not really trying to make them,' he added. 'You're just trying to get the speed right and hope that it snuggles up next to the hole. I even had a couple today that were 15 or 20 feet that I hit three or four feet by without even thinking about it. 'I'm looking forward to the weekend. It's a 72-hole golf tournament, and if you can get an under-par round out here, no matter if it's one under, you'll take it.' Burns was more than delighted with five-under. Others were not so chipper. While Burns got to the grips with the greens, Jon Rahm, the US Open champion in 2021, endured a torrid time on the putting surfaces as the Spaniard slithered backwards with a five-over 75 which left him on a four-over aggregate. Various putts that got away had the blood pressure rising and another one that failed to drop led to the delivery of an emphatic F-bomb that could've shattered the tarmac on that Pennsylvania Turnpike. 'Honestly, I'm too annoyed and too mad right now to think about any perspective,' Rahm said in a a brief and seething post-round analysis. 'Very few rounds of golf I played in my life where I think I hit good putts and they didn't sniff the hole, so it's frustrating.' For Norway's Viktor Hovland, there was a feeling of what might have been. Hovland posted a fine 68 for a one-under total. There are always 'buts' in this game, of course. 'I'm very pleased with two-under par, but I also know that I was four-under at some point, and missed a short putt on six and three-putted eight,' said Hovland, who pitched in on the 17th for an eagle. 'I'm very pleased, but, man, that could have been a little bit lower as well.' Oban's Robert MacIntyre, who was handily placed after an opening 70, was among the later starters and was battling away at two-over through nine holes of his second round. Rory McIlroy, meanwhile, was facing a right old scrap to make the cut. Scottie Scheffler, the world No 1, had a 71 for four-over and is certainly not out of it at the halfway stage. As for that pace of play? 'It felt long to me,' said Scheffler. 'But I've got too many concerns other than the pace it takes to get around this place.' It could be a long, slow weekend.

Winning mentality will be Michael Cheika's Leicester legacy
It is set to be a summer of change at Mattioli Woods Welford Road, with former Leicester player Geoff Parling set to take charge after the Australian departs at the end of his one-year contract. Just a couple of seasons on from their last Premiership final triumph, the Tigers finished eighth in a disappointing 2023-24 campaign. The arrival of Cheika – who took the Wallabies to the 2015 World Cup final and then guided Argentina into the last four two years ago – saw Leicester's fortunes transformed. On the back of a new-found mental resilience, Cheika's men were driven on to second place in the table behind Bath. Chessum, who fought his way back to fitness following a knee injury suffered in an England training camp in October, feels 58-year-old Cheika deserves plenty of plaudits for helping turn the club around. 'We were in a real good spot a few years ago as a group, and we probably lost our way a little bit and that is how you find yourself down in eighth and out of the play-offs,' said Chessum, set to be part of the British and Irish Lions tour to Australia. A post shared by Ollie Chessum (@olliechessum) 'There is no denying that something needed to change in quite a few aspects of our game. 'Cheiks will say we have probably not changed too much technically, but it is just around that mental side and the emotional side of the game is what has really changed everything this year and has put us in this spot.' Chessum, 24, added: 'He just finds a way to galvanise the group, get them to find a real meaning in what they are doing and use that to to drive them on. Our mental approach for the team has changed massively towards games. 'He will say that goes a huge way towards winning, it is just believing you can do it and sort of shocking yourself really with what you are able to do as an individual. The lineups for the #GallagherPremFinal! 😍 Who will take home the title, @BathRugby or @LeicesterTigers?#GallagherPrem — Premiership Rugby (@premrugby) June 13, 2025 'The way he has changed how the team approaches the game mentally has been a huge part of what he will leave as a legacy.' Cheika has named an unchanged side from the semi-final win over Sale for Saturday's showpiece at the Allianz Stadium, which will see several Leicester players make their last appearance in a Tigers shirt. Club stalwarts Dan Cole and Ben Youngs will retire while captain Julian Montoya, South Africa fly-half Handre Pollard, James Cronin and Matt Rogerson are all set to depart. Leicester lost home and away to Bath during the regular campaign, beaten 43-15 at The Recreation Ground in May. Chessum knows the Tigers will have to step up to the challenge as Bath seek to complete a trophy treble with what would be the Somerset club's first league title since 1996. 'They don't just play this stylish brand of rugby – they have still got this huge pack that can can break you down physically as well, so they are a great team,' Chessum said. 'We will have to front up on all fronts and be at our best to beat them, but that is the beauty of the challenge and of finals rugby.'

Bath ‘don't feel any burden' in Premiership final
Having finished 11 points clear of the Tigers at the top of the regular-season table, Bath then saw off rivals Bristol to secure a return to the Allianz Stadium, where they were edged out 25-21 by Northampton last year. Van Graan's side ended the club's 17-year trophy drought earlier in the campaign by lifting the Premiership Rugby Cup before then winning the European Challenge Cup last month with victory over Lyon in Cardiff. Full of belief that the best is yet to come 🙏 Are you ready to stand tall with the Blue, Black and White? — Bath Rugby (@BathRugby) June 12, 2025 Bath last won the league in 1996, fishing top of the table ahead of Leicester by just one point for the Somerset's club's sixth title in a decade of dominance. Despite the long wait to again be crowned England's best, Van Graan – who took over at The Recreation Ground ahead of the 2022-23 season having left Munster – insists his side remain focused on writing their own chapter by completing what would be a memorable treble. 'When I joined Bath, you look at the history, the tradition, you read up on the club, and you see that this club at a time was was incredibly successful, specifically through the 1980s and the 90s,' the South African coach said. The last time they lifted the Premiership Rugby trophy 🏆 🛁 @BathRugby – 1996 🐯 @LeicesterTigers – 2022 Who will take the title this weekend?#GallagherPremFinal — Premiership Rugby (@premrugby) June 11, 2025 'One thing that we all did together is we respect our history, but we started the club at zero in our minds on July 11, 2022. 'We respect everybody and everything that has gone before, but for us, it has been a journey of the last three years. 'It is all about this circle and this group of people, whilst loving the people that support this club. 'Ultimately, you do sport because you want to belong to something – and we belong to this club at this stage of our different journeys. 'This is an amazing club with an amazing support base, and we are very proud of that. We are very proud that we can belong to, and for, this group. 'It is another moment in time and we have got an amazing opportunity. There is no expectation and we don't feel any burden. 'The only thing we feel is each other and inside of that circle, and that is what we are doing.' Bath thrashed Leicester 43-15 in May, scoring seven tries, having also won at Mattioli Woods Welford Road Stadium in September. Van Graan, though, has warned against any sense of complacency at Twickenham, which will be the last game in charge for Tigers head coach Michael Cheika and for Leicester stalwarts Dan Cole and Ben Youngs ahead of their retirement. 'It is definitely a stand-alone fixture,' van Graan said. The WHY. — Leicester Tigers (@LeicesterTigers) June 12, 2025 'Obviously, you do your homework and you look at what's worked for you, what didn't, what worked for them, what didn't. 'You look at every game in a different way but a final is so unique, it is the last game of the season for both clubs. 'Leicester is a club we respect but ultimately it's about our performance and what we need to do, so that's been the sole focus for us this week. 'It has been about 'how can we get better?' Our process is something that's worked well for us, so we are going to stick to what we do.' 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦'𝐬 𝐮𝐩 🔥🏆 One more battle. Let's do this 👊 — Bath Rugby (@BathRugby) June 13, 2025 Van Graan named his starting XV on Friday afternoon, with two changes from the side which beat Bristol. Thomas du Toit comes into the front row while Miles Reid slots in at number eight. The backs are unchanged from last weekend's semi-final, with captain Ben Spencer and Finn Russell combining at scrum-half and fly-half respectively.
