Johann van Graan: ‘Zeebs is a brilliant player, we wish him the best’

access_timePosted on by BLOGGERPARUNG

MUNSTER HEAD COACH Johann van Graan has refused to comment if they are interested in bringing the province’s top try scorer Simon Zebo back from France.

With Zebo set to leave Racing 92 at the end of the season, van Graan was asked on eir Sport after their win 28-10 win over Scarlets if he was keen to have him back with Munster.

“Zeebs is a brilliant player and we wish him the very best,” said van Graan.

“Look, I’m not going to speak about signing players on live tv. We will just focus on what we have done in this match.”

On Tuesday, at Munster’s weekly press conference, a Munster official intervened when a question was put to senior coach Stephen Larkham about the possibility of Zebo returning and said they would not be commenting further as van Graan had dealt with the matter previously.

Zebo scored 60 tries in 144 appearances for Munster before leaving for Paris almost three years ago. Zebo, who will be 31 next Tuesday, won the last of his 35 Irish caps on the summer tour to Japan in 2017.

Meanwhile, van Graan said he is waiting for an update on flanker Fineen Wycherley who was stretchered off in the opening half with an injury which led to the game being held up for eight minutes.

“He has gone to hospital, we hope it will be good. We just spoke inside there (in the dressing room) that this game of ours is a beautiful game but guys do get injured and we believe that he is going to be good but we have nothing further at this stage,” he added.

Meanwhile, Joey Carbery produced 60 minutes of top class rugby to show he has lost none of his touch and Munster will now be hoping his injury nightmare is firmly behind him.

“It was brilliant. Obviously, conditions weren’t great today but we are delighted to come out with a win. We are using this as another step towards the final.

“I’m so glad to be back out there and it was so nice to get 60 minutes and get back into the flow of things,” said Carbery, who kicked four from four.

“No matter the conditions you just go back to your technique and just try and do what you always do. That’s what I did and I was happy to see them go over.”

The key moment of the game was a break from Carbery from inside his own half to set up a try for Shane Daly and the out-half said he just acted on instinct when he collected a clearance from Scarlets scrum-half Dane Blacker.

“I suppose it just happens so quickly you don’t even notice it. You just kind of back all your training and stuff before and you just let it go. It was nice to get the ball back in my hands,” he added.

Silver King passes away

access_timePosted on by BLOGGERPARUNG

Lucha legend Silver King, a staple for decades in Mexican Wrestling who had a run in World Championship Wrestling for several years, passed away this evening after suffering what is believed to have been a heart attack while competing in the ring during a show in London. King, real name, César Cuauhtémoc González Barrón, was 51 years old.
Silver King was competing against Juventud Guerrera at the Roundhouse Theatre in Camden in North London for a promotion titled Lucha Libre World. During the match, Silver King nailed a clothesline and covered Guerrera, who kicked up. King did not get off the mat and after a long moment where Guerrera and the referee checked on him, a number of other wrestlers hit the ring and began using a deflibrilator. An ambulance was called and King was brought to the hospital.
It was later confirmed by wrestler Sexy Star and Lucha Blog that King had passed.
King was a second generation star, the son of Dr. Wagner and the brother of Dr. Wagner Jr. He debuted in 1985 and had wrestled regularly since that time. He had a long, long run in Mexico working for AAA, the UWA, IWRG and CMLL as well as countless independent promotions to the points he was intertwined in pretty much all of lucha libre history over the last several decades.
In New Japan Pro Wrestling, he was the third man to use the Black Tiger persona, following Mark “Rollerball” Rocco and Eddy Guerrero. He and El Texano had a long run as Los Cowboys. He had a run as the All Japan Pro Wrestling Junior Heavyweight Champion.
As noted above, Silver King worked for WCW for three years, mostly working undercard six man tag team bouts, one of many high-level stars in Mexico who were used as undercard hands by WCW. His highest profile singles bout was challenging Juventud Guerrera for the WCW Cruiserweight Championship at the 1998 Fall Brawl PPV. He was a member of the Latino World Order that Eddy Guerrero formed and was briefly managed by Stacy Keibler in 2000. He departed the company to return to Mexico in 2000.
In the United States, King would be best known for playing the lead villain, Ramses, in the 2006 Jack Black comedy Nacho Libre.
On behalf of everyone associated with wrestlingepicenter.com, we’d like to express our deepest condolences to the family, friends and fans of Silver King.Click Here: custom injection moulding

Current WWE superstar: “They actually offered me more than twice my downside”

access_timePosted on by BLOGGERPARUNG


Rhyno turns down over double his current contract with WWE
Free agent July 17th.

Chris Van Vliet recently interviewed WWE Superstar Rhyno, who shared details on his WWE contract status and more. Below are some highlights.
Rhyno on his current WWE contract: “July 17th is my last date there. They actually offered me more than twice my downside but it wasn’t where they would have to use me because the downside is so large and it wasn’t about money it was about me wanting to be on the road work and helping the younger guys kind of like a player coach.”
Rhyno on WWE offering more than double the money to stay home and not wrestle: “It was a mutual understanding that we were not going to figure out a number. And they’ve been great, I can’t say anything bad about them. I had a lot of fun. I was afraid that they would say yes to a larger downside than what they offered me because I was afraid that they would still sit me at home. It’s not that they don’t like me, there is a lot of talent there and they have to cycle the talent which is normal because you want to get men and women out there to work. I was afraid that I would become miserable and that’s the last thing that you want to do when you’re doing something that you love. I would rather take a step back and work for some of these companies and work the independent scene.”
Rhyno on wanting to be on the road and not taking the larger contract: “That’s a good question and I came back and I said I want to be on the road. I feel good, I feel very blessed that my health is there. My job is to find the next John Cena, the next Stone Cold Steve Austin, the next Rock and how can I help these guys if I’m not on the road? If I’m sitting at my marina, that’d be nice I’d be very fortunate to do that, but I can’t help those younger men and women improve. On the indies, I can do that. And with other companies whether it’s AEW, Impact, Ring of Honor or New Japan I’ve done that before in the past and that’s something I can do now in the future.”
Rhyno on if WWE is offering big money contracts because they are afraid talent will go to AEW instead: “I don’t know if they’re scared or they’re concerned. This is no inside information, this is just what I think and if there is no other talent out there, then no other companies can grow. There’s a lot of stuff whether it’s Impact, Ring of Honor or New Japan where they are doing more stuff over here and Impact and AEW and those other companies, if they don’t have the equipment to build that factory then there’s not going to be that competition so to speak. So I think that’s why they’re offering a lot of money. ”
On if his contract has a 90-day no-compete clause: “No, no my contract ends on July 17th and like I said, they’ve been great to me. When I’d go to work, I had fun.”

‘Satisfied’ France unchanged for crunch Wales clash

access_timePosted on by BLOGGERPARUNG

FRANCE COACH Fabien Galthie said he named an unchanged side on Thursday to host Wales in a potential Six Nations Grand Slam decider this weekend because he was “satisfied” with the loss to England.

Second-row Romain Taofifenua, fly-half Matthieu Jalibert and flanker Dylan Cretin keep their places after the defeat for Saturday’s match at the Stade de France.

The visitors can claim a second tournament clean sweep in three years with a win in Paris.

“We’re very satisfied with the performance of the team in generally. We’re very satisfied with the potential of this team too,” Galthie said.

“In Twickenham, we felt a lot potential and strength in this team and what we need to do a week later is to bounce back against Wales with the potential that is at the heart of this team,” he added.

The ex-Test captain stuck with Jalibert, Taofifenua and Cretin in favour of Romain Ntamack and Anthony Jelonch, and Swann Rebbadj who are on the substitutes’ bench.

There are three new faces among the reserves as Galthie reverted to five forwards and three backs.

Prop Uini Atonio comes in for Dorian Aldegheri, Rebbadj replaces the injured Cyril Cazeaux and flanker Cameron Woki drops out for centre Arthur Vincent.

Regular lock Bernard Le Roux, who was expected to return to the bench, was left out after failing to recover sufficiently from the thigh injury that caused him to miss the England game.

Galthie’s men need a bonus-point victory and to beat Scotland in a re-scheduled fixture next Friday to clinch the title for a first time since 2010.

The former Les Bleus scrum-half said his side’s goal is to win the fixture before looking for the four tries or more for the additional points in the table.

“It doesn’t change much in our preparation. The focus is on this match, is to perform well against this opposition and to win the game,” he said. 

“Then there will be elements to consider.”

France team (to play Wales):

15. Brice Dulin

Deaths of our heroes, the footballer who stole The Scream, and the week’s best sportswriting

access_timePosted on by BLOGGERPARUNG

1. “Every time I watch I am temporarily transported back to our living room, my father perched on the edge of his armchair, arms flailing, trying to explain the greatness of it all. My ignorant 14 year old self just relishing the gladiatorial aspect of two men fighting like demented kids in a schoolyard, never even pausing for breath. Hagler’s glistening bald dome. Hearns’ spindly legs. One of those moments in time. My dad is long gone. Now Hagler too.

“I turned 50 in January and, sometimes lately, it seems like my heroes are all dying, taking little slivers of my childhood along with them. The grim reaper’s roll call of the last few months. Jack Charlton. Diego Maradona. Christy Ryan. Hagler. Those were only in the top echelon. He’s come for plenty of the supporting cast too. Leon Spinks, Ray Clemence, Doug Mountjoy, Tommy Docherty. Never idols but small, significant landmarks on the road map of my youth, names that evoke a time long ago, when, to quote the great Cork bard John Spillane, “our mothers were young, and our fathers were tall and kind”.

“No sport can thrill you like it thrilled you when you were a boy in the first flush of awareness and understanding. No goals are ever quite as wondrous again, no athletic feats as magical, no fights can stir the blood. It is all so new and romantic then and you are not yet cynical and tired and suspicious. You can still wholly marvel. Those names you learn, those things you witness, they stay with you and inform your sporting worldview forever more. Sure, you add to your store of knowledge but the very deepest parts of your brain are exclusively reserved for those characters, the ones who first colonized your imagination when it was at its most impressionable.”

Following the death of the great Marvin Hagler, Dave Hannigan writes about our heroes.

2. “‘He was very talented,’ Dag Vestlund, Valerenga’s manager at the time, tells The Athletic. “He was small, quick, tough. I liked him a lot. He was always very well behaved in my dealings with him. Always polite, very humble.”

“Except this is not the story of an ordinary footballer. And it was never scoring a goal, or running out in front of a crowd, that gave Enger his biggest thrill.

“When the police raided his home, they found the evidence that tied him to a jewellery heist in Oslo. But it was not the diamonds, expensive watches and wads of cash that made them realise this was a unique case. It was the fact Vampire, Edvard Munch’s 1893 masterpiece, was hanging on Enger’s wall.

“The painting, originally known as Love And Pain, showed a vampiric woman with molten-red hair locking her unsuspecting victim in a deadly embrace.

“It had been stolen from Oslo’s Munch museum a few months earlier. And this was just the beginning of Enger’s career as Norway’s most famous thief.”

The Athletic’s Daniel Taylor tells the story of the footballer turned art thief who stole The Scream.

3. “The image of a young Johnny Sexton brooding over a coffee in a Dublin cafe while contemplating his future at Leinster is a curious one given how his name has become synonymous with the province’s success for over a decade.

“Yet this was the way of things in Sexton’s early days, which were marked by a gnawing frustration that he could be doing more. He was never singled out as a talent who would reach the heights of then captain Brian O’Driscoll and, in the 2008-09 campaign, he found himself stuck firmly behind Argentinian Felipe Contepomi under head coach Michael Cheika.

“”When was in the under-20s, no one would have picked Johnny Sexton to have the career he has had except for Johnny himself,” says former team-mate Bernard Jackman.

“‘With the drive he had, he was always going to find a way but he was really frustrated. I would have had a couple of coffees with him in those early days and I think he was on the verge of leaving Leinster.

“‘He was certainly wondering if there was a future for him there because he didn’t get to play in some of the big games. He felt Cheika didn’t trust him. And that really hurt him because he believed he made the team better and he did but we didn’t see it as clear-cut then as we would now.’”

Kate Rowan writes of ‘The Four Ages of Johnny Sexton’ in The Telegraph.

4. “The fluffy stuff, the romance and all that, they got from monuments and old songs and stories about the glory of Old Ireland. The Belfast Brigade would dispense with niceties.

“Being lucky was to spend the best part of your youth in prison while those outside were socialising and going to college, enjoying relationships, getting married, having families.

“Could be worse though. Chances were, you could be mown down in a gun battle or blown up by your own bomb.

“Fitting in a bit of Gaelic football? Sure, they had that four days a week in the Long Kesh cages.

“Winning a senior Championship while on Active Service? It happened one man. Maybe more. We’ll come back to that.”

Declan Bogue writes of GAA in Antrim during The Troubles.

5. “It started out as a kind of hayseed idea, an investment they reckoned might win the odd handicap in low-watt places like Kilbeggan or Roscommon.

“They even named the horse in faithful recognition of what plans they had. Flooring Porter would be their fun, their social outlet, nothing more profound than that. It was 2018, a Facebook ad alerting them to some Gavin Cromwell horses headed to the sales and one, especially, caught the eye.

“Sired by four-time Ascot Gold Cup and Irish St Leger winner Yeats, they were told he could be theirs for €5,000.

“With just four in the syndicate – father and son, Tommy and Alan Sweeney, Edward Hogarty and Kerril Creaven – each agreed to commit €10,000 to what Creaven admits now was just “a shot in the dark”.

Vincent Hogan tells the story of Flooring Porter and his syndicate in a piece written ahead of their incredible Stayers’ Hurdle success.
