England winger Feyi-Waboso suspended from 2-test series in Argentina
Feyi-Waboso was sent off during the England XV's 26-24 loss to a France XV on Saturday at Twickenham.
He caught Antoine Hastoy in the head with a swinging right arm in an attempted first-half tackle. His yellow card was upgraded on review to a 20-minute red card.
A World Rugby disciplinary hearing confirmed it was a dangerous tackle and suspended Feyi-Waboso for both of England's tests in Argentina on July 5 and 12.
He will be available for the test against the United States on July 19 in Washington, D.C., if he completes World Rugby's tackle school.
Saturday's game was Feyi-Waboso's first action since December, when he dislocated his shoulder. He missed the Six Nations and a possible place in the British and Irish Lions squad.
England is set to name its touring squad on Monday.

Injuries to key players dampen excitement for WNBA's inaugural Rivals Week
NEW YORK (AP) — The WNBA hoped to create some buzz with its inaugural Rivals Week, which is slated to begin on Saturday. Unfortunately, injuries to key players like Napheesa Collier, Breanna Stewart, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese has dampened some of the excitement. The week was set to tip-off with a primetime matchup between Clark's Fever and Reese's Sky on Saturday night. Clark is definitely out while still recovering from a groin strain that's sidelined her already for a few weeks. Reese has missed four of the past five games with a back injury. Collier and Stewart were set for a second meeting between Minnesota and New York on Sunday, but neither will play in the game. Collier is sidelined with a sprained right ankle and Stewart has a bone bruise in her right knee. The two teams played an epic WNBA Finals last season, although both sides have downplayed it being a rivalry just yet. 'It's a rivalry because of what happened in the Finals last year and I think it's good that it has people talking,' Liberty coach Sandy Brondello said. 'We have passionate fans. We have people talking about our league and that's a good thing.' Right now only four games separate second-place New York (18-10) from eighth place Golden State (14-14) with a month left in the season. 'The timing of that week is critical, because in August you start to really make that playoff push,' WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert said back when the Rivals Week was announced. 'So it would be great to have those matchups during that period to drive that playoff push into September and crown a champion in October.' Power poll rankings Minnesota remained the No. 1 team in the poll with Atlanta and New York behind the Lynx. Riding a five-game winning streak, Indiana moved up to fourth. Phoenix and Seattle followed the Fever. Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Golden State were the next three. Washington, Dallas, Connecticut and Chicago rounded out the poll. It's the first time since Week 6 that the Sun aren't at the bottom of the poll. Ratings boon Las Vegas' blowout loss to Minnesota on Saturday drew an average viewership of 1.6 million fans, peaking at 2 million. As a whole, games on ABC are up 20% from the regular season last year on the network. Player of the week Collier of Minnesota was the AP player of the week after averaging 24 points, six rebounds and 3.5 assists to help the Lynx win both their games last week. Other players receiving votes included Allisha Gray of Atlanta, Natasha Howard of Indiana and Sabrina Ionescu of New York. Game of the week Minnesota at New York, Sunday. With Stewart and Collier both missing this game a little of the luster has come out of it. Still, it's a WNBA Finals rematch and there's definitely a little extra on this game.

Taylor Fritz vs. Andrey Rublev odds, predictions: ATP Toronto picks, best bets Tuesday
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. It's been a strange season for Andrey Rublev. Once considered one of the most predictable and consistent players on the ATP Tour, Rublev's results have been all over the place in 2025. The Russian was bounced in Round 1 of the Australian Open, then won a title in Doha a few weeks later, and then lost in the first round in both legs of the Sunshine Double before putting together a wildly inconsistent clay-court season in Europe. It looked like Rublev found his game at Wimbledon, but he started the subsequent North American hard-court swing with two wins followed by consecutive losses. Things now seem to be pointing in the right direction for the World No. 11, as he's one win away from a trip to the semifinals at the Canadian Masters, where he finished as runner-up in 2024. ATP Toronto: Fritz vs. Rublev odds, predictions Player Odds Andrey Rublev +175 Taylor Fritz -225 Odds via bet365 While Rublev has been erratic throughout the season, it's hard to poke holes in Taylor Fritz's game right now. The American was taken to a third-set tiebreaker against Jiri Lehecka last round, but that was a serving clinic from both competitors, and nothing to be worried about from Fritz's POV. Taylor Fritz has won 18 of his last 21 matches. AP Overall, Fritz is 18-3 in his last 21 matches and has two trophies in that span. If he keeps this up, he'll be a trendy third choice to Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz at the US Open later this month. If Rublev has found his form, he has every chance of coming out ahead in this match. That said, we've seen the 27-year-old tease a resurgence plenty of times this season, only to watch him hit the skids. Get the lowdown on the Best USA Sports Betting Sites and Apps Rublev is 2-8 against top-10 opponents over the last 52 weeks, and he's lost his last four encounters with Fritz on hard courts. There's a real chance that Fritz makes this look easy.
