Bulls bully WP with brutal forward dominance
The Bulls overpowered Western Province 48-23 in Pretoria, using their forwards to dominate territory, scrums and the scoreboard throughout. The Bulls wasted no time asserting their dominance, scoring from a rolling maul through hooker Joe van Zyl in the fifth minute. WP responded with a penalty by Kyle Smith, but Zain Davids' yellow card left them exposed against the relentless Bulls' pack. Scrumhalf Zak Burger took full advantage of the overlap, darting over for the Bulls' second try after continuous attacking pressure built. The Pretoria men conceded a restart penalty, allowing Smith to close the gap again before Shilton van Wyk struck for WP. Van Wyk intercepted a loose pass and sprinted away to score against the run of play, energising the home crowd briefly. However, the Bulls hit back with another powerful maul and Sintu Manjezi powered over to silence the fans once again. Province's discipline collapsed under pressure, losing both locks to yellow cards as the Bulls' scrum turned the screw with clinical precision. Jeandré Rudolph picked up the fourth try off a dominant scrum, as WP were reduced to six forwards and little resistance. Despite Chris Smit's yellow card for cynical play, the Bulls stayed in control as Burger scored again before halftime approached. Boeta Chamberlain then slotted a penalty just before the break to stretch the lead to a comfortable 22-point advantage. Province looked sharper after the restart and Courtnall Skosan finished a flowing move to add some hope for the hosts. But Rudolph had the final say, collecting his second try after slick interplay near the line broke WP's fragile defence wide open. Chamberlain punished WP further with a late penalty in the 78th minute, closing out a complete and ruthless Bulls performance. WP will need massive improvement before facing the Lions, while the Bulls look well-oiled ahead of round two next weekend. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 0211.

'Never been this bad:' Possible road rage shooting latest in Downtown crime uptick
The owner of a Main Street bar said his employee was an innocent bystander when gunfire erupted Downtown Sunday. Cincinnati police reported a 37-year-old man was found shot in the 600 block of Main Street just before midnight June 29. He was taken to an area hospital with injuries that were not life threatening, officials said The owner of Bay Horse Cafe, Kyle Smith, told The Enquirer it was his doorman who was grazed in the leg by a bullet. Smith said surveillance camera footage from the bar shows it could have been a road rage incident between two drivers on Main Street. He said the footage shows a red SUV slammed on its brakes and a black car swerved around it before the drivers began exchanging gunfire. There were about 10 gunshots total, Smith said, four of which entered his establishment, breaking the front window glass. Smith said he spent all night in the hospital with his doorman after one bullet grazed his leg, but he's expected to be okay. Police said some at the scene also reported minor injuries due to broken glass. Chief Theetge: Here's the top priority for Cincinnati's new police task force The shooting on Main Street, just a block over from the Aronoff Center, comes during what Mayor Aftab Pureval has called an "unacceptable rise in crime" across Cincinnati. Police Chief Teresa Theetge has attributed much of it to minors, telling The Enquirer in a recent interview she is starting a roving task force to proactively target crime hot spots. Smith said safety is his number one priority at the bar, which reopened in April after changing owners and caters to a service-establishment crowd. "I've been working Downtown for eight-and-a-half years," Smith said. "It's never been this bad." Cincinnati police did not reveal any additional details about why the shooting occurred. The investigation is still underway. Both violent and property crimes have seen a significant increase Downtown this year-to-date. So far this year in Downtown, according to neighborhood crime data up to June 29, there have been: 30 robberies, compared to 18 by this point in 2024 and an average of 12.67 over the past three years. 56 burglaries/breaking-and-entering incidents, compared to 21 by this point in 2024 and an average of 23.67 over the past three years. 242 auto thefts, compared to 133 by this point in 2024 and an average of 130 over the past three years. The Bay Horse Cafe doorman is the 10th person shot in Downtown so far this year, according to a city dashboard last updated June 24. By this time last year, there had been six people shot Downtown. What's that in the sky? Cincinnati police take to sky with new drone unit, expected to cover city by year's end Overall, reported shootings are down in Cincinnati this year when compared with the number of shootings at this time last year. In 2024, there were 135 reported shootings by this point in the year, city data shows. However, the number of people killed in shootings citywide has remained constant. So far in 2025, there have been 30 people killed in shootings, the same by this point last year. The city publishes dashboards of crime statistics for public safety and other topics, which it updates on a semi-regular basis. The Cincinnati police crime analytics department also publishes crime data by neighborhood, which it generally updates weekly.

Fifth partner leaves Paul Weiss to join new firm
June 2 (Reuters) - Another partner has left law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton and Garrison, joining Karen Dunn and others who split to launch their own firm late last month. Kyle Smith, a Washington-based litigator who has represented Amazon, Uber and other clients at Paul Weiss, is the fifth partner to join newly formed Dunn Isaacson Rhee. Smith, who announced the move in a LinkedIn post on Sunday, could not immediately be reached for comment. Paul Weiss in March became the first of nine firms that struck deals with the White House to avoid being targeted by President Donald Trump's administration. The Wall Street firm pledged $40 million in free legal work to mutually agreed causes with the administration in return for Trump rescinding an executive order that threatened the firm's access to government officials and its federal contracting work. Dunn, a prominent litigator and Washington Democrat, left Paul Weiss on May 23 to found the new firm along with Jeannie Rhee, Bill Isaacson and Jessica Phillips. They did not cite Paul Weiss' deal with Trump in an internal email announcing their departures that was viewed by Reuters. Last month, former U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson retired from Paul Weiss for a leadership post at Columbia University. Paul Weiss in a statement thanked Smith for his contributions to the firm. Its chairman Brad Karp has defended the agreement with Trump, arguing it was necessary to protect the firm. Dunn Isaacson Rhee said the new firm would soon formally announce its expanded team. 'Since the news of our firm became public last week, we have received a truly overwhelming amount of support and interest from lawyers and staff who want to join us," the firm said. The firm since its launch is continuing to represent Google and Qualcomm in litigation, alongside Paul Weiss lawyers that are still on the cases, court records show. Four firms sued the Trump administration after they were hit with executive orders like the one against Paul Weiss. Judges have permanently struck down the orders in three of the cases so far, ruling that Trump unconstitutionally retaliated against the firms for their past cases and associations.
