My favorite On running shoes are reduced in the brand's last season sale — 3 great deals to shop now
The On last season sale is always a good place to hunt for running shoe deals, and right now some of my favorite On sneakers are discounted. I've picked out three deals below to help you round out your running shoe rotation, whether you're in need of a comfortable daily trainer, a road-to-trail cruiser, or a carbon plate racer. If you just need a versatile sneaker to use for running and casual wear, then the Cloudsurfer Trail, which is down to $125 in the On the sale, is worth looking at in particular. It's comfortable on both road and light trail runs, and looks great with a pair of jeans. There are a couple of sizes of the Auburn | Frost color of the Cloudsurfer that are down to $110, but you have more choice in sizes with the Iron | Glacier color, which is reduced to $125. The Cloudsurfer is a comfortable daily trainer with a great rocker that rolls you through your footstrike smoothly. The downside to this shoe is that it can sometimes squeak, which didn't bother me but can make you feel a little conspicuous on the run. The Cloudsurfer Trail combines the same smooth rocker you get on the Cloudsurfer road shoe with a more substantial outsole that grips well on light trails. It's still comfortable on the road too, and it's a versatile sneaker that's available in a couple of colors and lots of sizes in the On sale right now. The Cloudboom Echo 3 is a specialist racing shoe that has a carbon plate and a high stack of springy foam in its midsole. It's fast and fun to run in, though not one that's stable or comfortable enough to use for easy daily training — save this one for your speed session and races. Given that carbon super-shoes usually cost you well over $200, this is great deal for those in need of a new racer.

More to Lions loss than referee call, say Wallabies
Wallabies lock Nick Frost won't waste time pondering countless "what if?" scenarios, saying the last-gasp loss to the British and Irish Lions shouldn't have come down to a controversial refereeing decision. The Wallabies were in a position to level the series after taking an 18-point lead in the second Test at the MCG on Saturday. But the home side were unable to seal the deal, allowing the Lions back into the game before fullback Hugo Keenan scored the match-winning try with 45 seconds left on the clock. Wallabies flanker Carlo Tizzano appeared to have been cleaned out illegally with a shoulder to the neck in the build-up, but Keenan's try stood after a review. It meant Australia suffered a 29-26 loss, with the Lions taking an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series ahead of the final Test in Sydney on Saturday night. Whether the last-minute try should or should not have been awarded, Frost said there was a bigger picture surrounding their defeat. "There were so many moments up until that where we could have capitalised," Frost said on Monday. "We had a pretty decent lead in that first half, and we gave away a few tries. "It doesn't always come down to the refs ... At the end of the day, you can't really rely right at the end for a decision there. "If you're relying on that, you probably haven't done enough work throughout the game." Tizzano has been accused by UK media and ex-players of staging, to try to win the penalty, but Frost defended his tough teammate and said the Wallabies didn't listen to the "outside noise". The Wallabies will have pride, and unwanted history, to play for at Accor Stadium. If they lose on Saturday, the tourists will have claimed their first three-Test series whitewash on Australian soil since 1904. While starting prop James Slipper has become just the second Wallabies player to appear in two Lions series, Frost said the third Test presented another rare opportunity for all, with the tours held only every 12 years. "There is something to lose. It's a Test match," Frost said. "There's a bit of fire in the belly from the last couple of games ... And again, like it's a Lions series, it's our last time - unless you're James Slipper - to play against them." Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt will be forced into changes after Harry Potter suffered a hamstring injury in front of his home crowd at the MCG. Dylan Pietsch or Andrew Kellaway loom as options to fill that spot, joining Max Jorgensen in the starting wing positions. "I've been there before and really feel for him," Jorgensen said of Potter. "It's really tough to see him head out of camp and stay down in Melbourne. Jorgensen agreed there was plenty of motivation for the Wallabies to fire up for the third Test. "All the boys are pretty gutted after that result. We put in such a big effort - we were leading for 79 minutes of the game," the 20-year-old said. "It's a tough pill to swallow. Everyone knows that, but obviously there's a big focus on this weekend now and winning this game this Saturday."

Tourism surge: R4.2 billion spent on SA hotels in second quarter of 2025
Figures show more is being spent at South Africa's hotels and guesthouses, but industry experts say more innovation is needed. South Africa's tourism industry is maintaining its post-Covid comeback with record revenue in the accommodation sector. Accommodation income generated in the second quarter of 2025 increased by 10.5% from the same period last year. Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) released the figures this week in its quarterly report on the tourist accommodation sector. Recovery sustained The numbers are compiled from a monthly survey of hotels, guesthouses and other commercial accommodation owners of tax-registered private and public enterprises Stats SA's report shows the healthy recovery of an industry that was decimated by the global health panic of 2020. Seasonally adjusted income from accommodation at current prices first reached pre-covid levels in Spring 2023 and has exceeded that level for every quarter since July 2024. 'Seasonally adjusted income from accommodation increased by 3.8% month-on-month in May 2025, following an increase of 3.1% month-on-month in April 2025,' stated Stats SA. However, seasonally adjusted occupancy rates have yet to breach the 40% mark, having sat at roughly 45% in January 2020. In the last quarter, hotels earned R4.2 billion, while caravan parks and guesthouses and farms earned R186 million and R337 million, respectively. 'Other' forms of accommodation accounted for R2.7 billion, with the R7.5 billion total excluding food and beverage sales. Industry insights The accommodation industry generated R35.3 billion last year, with the industry sitting on R14.3 billion for the first five months of 2025. Southern Africa Tourism Service Association CEO David Frost said that the country's natural attractions provided a solid foundation from which to build, but required the industry to continually adapt. 'We cannot afford to be complacent. To stay globally competitive, we must continue to diversify and meet evolving traveller expectations,' said Frost. 'True growth lies in how we innovate around these assets. We need to move beyond what we've always done and develop experiences that appeal to a broader range of global travellers.' Frost highlighted areas outside the 'Cape Town-Kruger' corridor as needing extra representation, but explained the 2024/25 cruise season generated R1.32 billion. National Chairperson of the Federated Hospitality Association of South Africa, Rosemary Anderson, agreed with Frost's sentiments on evolving the industry. 'That's now changing, thanks to Tourism Minister Patricia de Lille, who has introduced a new model where government and industry work together in dedicated tourism workstreams. 'For the first time, ideas are not only being developed jointly, but action plans are being put in place. This shift has the potential to be a game-changer for tourism in South Africa,' Anderson concluded. NOW READ: Could tourism be the answer to SA youth unemployment?

Nebraska's Matt Rhule: 'It Wasn't a Good Job, But It's the Right Job'
Scott Frost recently called coaching the Nebraska Cornhuskers the "wrong job" for him during Big 12 Media Days. Reflecting on his time at his alma mater, Frost – who returned for his second stint at UCF – said the biggest lesson he learned was not to take the wrong job. Current Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule was asked about those comments on Tuesday. While he didn't disagree that the program wasn't in a great position when he arrived, he made it clear he still sees Nebraska as the right job for him. "This wasn't a good job," he said during the Big Ten Media Days. "But we've made it a good job, and we're about to make it a great job. This will be one of the best jobs in the country." Rather than criticize Frost, Rhule showed respect. "I have a ton of respect for Scott," Rhule said. "And I've always been very empathetic for what he went through, because this was his home. If you guys fire me tomorrow, I'm just going to go back to Cape May and sit on the beach — go back to where I'm from. But this was his home." Rhule pointed out that the program he inherited was in bad shape and behind on everything. "There was no NIL when Scott was here, no new facilities," he said. "I walked into a better situation." Frost was fired three games into the 2022 season, finishing with a 16-31 record across four and a half seasons at Nebraska, never reaching a bowl game. His legacy, however, as a 1997 national champion quarterback is still present in the program. Rhule noted that Nebraska placed a large photo of Frost as a player in its facility this offseason. When asked what comes next if Nebraska starts winning under his leadership, Rhule responded, "Sometimes recruits will say, 'Coach, if you win, what are you gonna do?'" he said. "I'm gonna stay right here. The only thing I ever think about is getting a lake house at one of these lakes in Nebraska I keep hearing about." Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
