Welsh rugby's CEO diagnosed with cancer and stepping away from role
Abi Tierney, chief executive of the Welsh Rugby Union, will leave her role temporarily on Aug. 22 'to focus fully on my health and recovery.'
'I am grateful for the support I have already received from my family, friends, and colleagues,' Tierney said, 'and I am confident in the team's ability to continue our work during my absence.'
Tierney has just overseen the appointment of Steve Tandy as coach of the men's national team, which went on a record 18-match losing run before a win in Japan last month.

Thomas Frank proud of Spurs players as ‘special operation' fails against PSG
Thomas Frank acknowledged his 'special operation' failed but felt pride in his players after Tottenham surrendered a two-goal lead to lose the Super Cup on penalties to Paris St Germain. Set-piece goals by Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero had Spurs halfway towards another trophy – only three months on from Frank's predecessor Ange Postecoglou clinching Europa League success in May. Champions League winners PSG, who only returned to pre-season last week following their Club World Cup exploits in July, fought back impressively – with substitute Kang-in Lee pulling one back with five minutes left before Goncalo Ramos grabbed an equaliser in the fourth-minute of stoppage-time. It was initially advantage Tottenham in the shoot-out when Vitinha missed PSG's first kick and Rodrigo Bentancur put the Premier League club two up, but it was followed by Van de Ven and Mathys Tel failing to score as Frank's competitive debut ended in a 4-3 shoot-out defeat after a 2-2 draw. The Danish coach paid tribute to his squad after he lined them up in a back-three formation to largely good effect, in a fixture where they constantly looked a threat at set-pieces. 'Very, very proud of the players, the team, the club, the fans,' Frank reflected. 'I think the players gave everything, playing against one of the best teams in the world, maybe the best at the moment and I think we were 75, 80 minutes perfect. Almost giving nothing away. 'I knew we had to do something a little bit different against PSG. It was a special operation. In medical terms, the operation succeeded but the patient died, so not that good in the end. 'But we worked on a gameplan that was a little bit different and very close to succeeding. 'It was a little bit of special operation because it clearly went in spells a little bit more direct, because we knew that we could hurt them there. Big, big focus on the set pieces, from all areas of the pitch, but we will have focus on set pieces no matter what.' Frank's game-plan had worked perfectly until the 85th minute – with Van de Ven's opener just reward for a disciplined and dynamic Tottenham first-half display. Romero's header from Pedro Porro's free kick three minutes after the break had Spurs fans in dreamland, which remained the case as they put bodies on the line to thwart PSG until a raft of substitutes by Luis Enrique helped tip the scales. New Tottenham boss Frank promised to swiftly lift morale before Saturday's Premier League opener at home to Burnley, adding: 'Every game matters. 'I think if you look on the face of the players and all of us, we are hugely disappointed and I have my rule for 24 hours. I can be disappointed for 24 hours. 'We want to compete in a lot of different tournaments and if you want to do that, you need to be ready to do a quick turnaround and go again. I'll make sure the players are ready and come flying out on Saturday.' Luis Enrique was honest in his assessment of PSG, who competed in the Club World Cup final exactly a month ago. 'To be honest, I'm not sure we deserved this trophy,' the Spanish coach admitted. 'The difference was stark between Tottenham. They've had six weeks of preparation and we've had six days. 'It was huge and we were trying to play our football and just couldn't for the first 80 minutes. We had a lot of poor passes and maybe we were lucky. Lady Luck was smiling on us.'

Officials urge caution on mosquito bites abroad amid rise in chikungunya cases
Health officials have urged people to take precautions against mosquito bites while on holiday amid a rise in cases of chikungunya among travellers returning from abroad. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has also detected the first cases of the emerging disease oropouche virus in the UK, all of which were linked to travel from Brazil. Chikungunya is a virus spread by mosquito bites, the symptoms of which include a sudden fever and joint pain. According to UKHSA, most people recover within two weeks, although the joint pain can last for months or even years in some cases. Serious complications are not common, but in rare cases the disease can be fatal, particularly in very young or older people, or those with underlying health conditions. The latest travel-associated infections report from UKHSA shows there were 73 cases of chikungunya reported between January and June 2025, compared to 27 cases for the same period last year. The majority were linked to travel to Sri Lanka, India and Mauritius. All cases were reported in England, primarily in London. There is currently no risk of onward transmission of chikungunya, as the two species of mosquito that transmit the disease are not established in the UK, UKHSA said. The illness mainly occurs in Africa and Asia, specifically southern Asia, although cases have been reported in Europe and parts of North America. However, this year there have been outbreaks in the Americas and Asia, with surges in China and the Indian Ocean islands of Reunion, Mayotte and Mauritius. Dr Philip Veal, consultant in public health at UKHSA, said: 'Chikungunya can be a nasty disease and we're seeing a worrying increase in cases among travellers returning to the UK. 'While this mosquito-borne infection is rarely fatal, it can cause severe joint and muscle pain, headaches, sensitivity to light and skin rashes. Thankfully symptoms usually improve within a few weeks, but joint pain may last for months or longer. 'It is essential to take precautions against mosquito bites when travelling. 'Simple steps, such as using insect repellent, covering up your skin and sleeping under insecticide-treated bed nets can greatly reduce the risk.' Two chikungunya vaccines are approved for use in the UK and are available to buy after an assessment at a private travel clinic. Meanwhile, the first UK cases of oropouche virus, which is spread by midge bites, have been detected by UKHSA. The three cases were all associated with travel to Brazil. The flu-like illness can cause a fever, headaches, joint pain, muscle pain, chills, nausea and vomiting. Officials urged anyone who becomes unwell with these symptoms after travel to affected areas, including parts of Central and South America and the Caribbean, to seek urgent medical advice. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), before late 2023, oropouche virus was mostly reported near the Amazon rainforest area. However, in 2024, Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba, Guyana, Peru and the Dominican Republic reported locally transmitted cases of the disease. The UKHSA report also shows a rise in travel-associated cholera cases in the UK, with eight cases in the first half of the year compared to just one in 2024. Most cases were linked with travel to India and Ethiopia. There was also a 67% decrease in the number of dengue cases reported in England, Wales and Northern Ireland from January to June, and there were just four cases of zika virus during the period, down from nine in 2024.

Ruthless FSG strike AGAIN as Liverpool close in on agreement
Rebuilding a squad is known for being a long and arduous process, but Liverpool have mastered it. When areas of the team are in need of improvement, the players find a way to dig deep in times of need and then when the stars align, the club will take immediate action, almost in one fail swoop. Shop the LFC Store 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the away range TODAY LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! The strategy itself is bold, and the fans often struggle to get their heads around it. Fenway Sports Group (FSG) are defying the norm by acting this way, but so far at least, it looks to be successful. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas away range Summer 2023 was the first major example in recent times and summer 2025 has followed suit, although each transfer window focused on entirely different areas of the team. It's remarkable. © IMAGO - John Henry FSG FSG's ruthless squad rebuild strategy Let's take the 2023 window first, just to make it clear what I'm trying to get at here. Jurgen Klopp's midfield was in a state of disarray. Years of working the players raged had taken its toll and the high intensity approach was really starting to dwindle. The Reds finished fifth in the 2022/23 season, dropping points in half of their games, missing out on Champions League football. Throughout that summer a number of bold calls had to be made and while replacements were drip-fed in, we saw Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita and James Milner all leaving. £52m was brought in from their departures. The latter three left with expiring contracts. Bringing money in for their replacements wasn't the objective here. Each of the players had been great servants for the club over the years and the team needed a cash-injection to revitalise it. And that's exactly what happened. Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott remained at the club, but we saw four major additions brought in - Alexis Mac Allister for £35m, Dominik Szoboszlai for £60m, Ryan Gravenberch for £34m and Wataru Endo for £16m. The midfield had been totally rebuilt for £145m. Completing such a feat in just one transfer window was mind-blowing and while the players took a little bit of time to get themselves sorted, the Reds improved their Premier League points tally by 15 points, finishing third in a shock title race with Arsenal and Manchester City. Now, two years later, we're witnessing yet another ruthless rebuild, focused on the defence. Trent Alexander-Arnold decided to run down his contract to join Real Madrid on a free transfer, although Liverpool still managed to get £8.6m from his departure, letting him leave a month early. Furthermore, Jarell Quansah was sold for £35m after Arne Slot decided he wasn't at the required level and we're now looking at a potential outgoing move for Kostas Tsimikas before deadline day. That left us with Andy Robertson at left-back, Conor Bradley at right-back and an ageing Virgil Van Dijk, contract rebel Ibrahima Konate and a rarely un-injured Joe Gomez available at centre-back. Prior to the 2025 transfer window opening, Jeremie Frimpong's move from Leverkusen was all-but confirmed and Milos Kerkez's move from Bournemouth was a poorly kept secret. That was the full-backs sorted for £70m - not a cheap package, but understandable given the market right now. And now we're set to make two more transfers, with Fabrizio Romano suggesting that both Marc Guehi at Crystal Palace for £35m and Giovanni Leoni at Parma for £30m will likely join. Making four defensive signings in a window is pretty rare. Supposing the two deals are completed over the next two weeks or so, Liverpool will have some remarkable depth to utilise this season. The old regime of Robertson, Van Dijk, Konate and Bradley as a back four; and the new regime of Kerkez, Guehi, Leoni and Frimpong as a back four. Slot's team now has every dynamic imaginable. Of course, this year's business has been completed alongside moves for Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike and Giorgi Mamardashvili, with two young goalkeepers and a striker also signed under the radar. And you might think of sporting director Richard Hughes and chief executive Michael Edwards as the geniuses behind the masterpiece that has been Liverpool's transfer window this time around. But if you remember, the 2023 window was masterminded by Jorg Schmadtke, a German managing director who had to temporarily fill-in while the executive hierarchy and recruitment team evolved. It was FSG that sanctioned the money being spent then and two years later it's FSG at it once again. Everyone's thoughts on the ownership will have changed over the last 15 years. There have been more highs and lows than you could imagine. And rightly so, John Henry caught some flack at times. But this last few years has been extraordinary. The Reds have been put back on their perch as the most successful club in England and the transfer decisions reflect that. We're a huge European club. And so whether you approve of Liverpool's spending or not - trust me, it took a while to sink in - the business that is being completed makes sense with the defence, and the midfield rebuild was exactly the same. Ekitike's move was really quite expensive and Alexander Isak's fee, if the Swede joins, will blow it out of the water. But FSG are experienced professionals, they know what's required. The Liverpool of old might have been frugal, but the club's ruthless streak is my new favourite thing.
