(EPA Images pic) LONDON : Everton have agreed a season-long loan deal for Manchester City's England midfielder Jack Grealish, Sky Sports television reported today. The 29-year-old joined City from Aston Villa for £100 million in 2021 but has fallen out of favour there and is in urgent need of game time ahead of next year's World Cup. Grealish made only seven league starts last season and was not included in City's recent Club World Cup squad. He was also omitted from England's 2024 European Championship squad. There was no immediate word from either club and the BBC cited sources saying a deal was not yet imminent although talks were progressing.

Australia launches domestic Super Rugby competition
SYDNEY, June 17 (Reuters) - Rugby Australia have announced an annual domestic Super Rugby competition aimed at giving the country's senior players more game time to kick off in September and October this year. With teams playing only 14 regular season games in Super Rugby Pacific, there has been concern that players outside the Wallabies set-up do not play enough rugby compared to their peers in other countries. "The Super Rugby Pacific season is relatively short and sharp, and the contracted players who aren't involved with Wallabies can go a long time between games at that level," RA's Ben Whitaker said in a statement. "Super Rugby AUS will also be an opportunity to showcase the best emerging player and coaching talent out of club rugby, along with the national and Super Rugby pathway programmes." The New South Wales Waratahs, ACT Brumbies, Western Force and Queensland Reds will play each other once over three rounds with a final following on a fourth weekend.
