New Zealand 34-17 Australia: All Blacks Win Rugby World Cup

Ma'a Nonu and Nehe Milner-Skudder both went over for the All Blacks as they became the first side in history to seal back-to-back world titles

Payback time, big time, for Dan Carter as he guided New Zealand to their second World Cup on the spin and buried the hell of four years’ ago. Carter has a World Cup winners’ medal in his locker but that one means diddly squat compared to the one he pocketed at Twickenham on Saturday.

In 2011 Carter was the poster boy of a home tournament but ended up crocked and missed out on the business end of the party. This time round he was the business and he had 19 points to prove it. Australia tried to get Carter but they couldn’t do it and he buried the Wallabies with something to spare.

SUPER FALCONS: FIFA Fines Ugo Njoku 641,349.27 Naira For Elbowing Australian Player

Nigeria defender Ugo Njoku has been suspended for three matches and fined 641,349.27 Naira by Fifa after being found guilty of elbowing Australia striker Sam Kerr in their last match.

"The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has reached a decision in the case related to Ugo Njoku of Nigeria following an incident that occurred during the FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015 match between Australia and Nigeria played on 12 June 2015," the statement reads.

Australia coach Ange Postecoglou on Tuesday promised the Socceroos won't sit back against a dangerous Dutch side as his team fights to stay in the tournament.

Postecoglou acknowledged that defeat to the Netherlands, 5-1 conquerers of reigning champions Spain last week, would probably mean the end of the World Cup for Australia.

But he said his transitional side, whose hopes are hanging by a thread after opening with a 3-1 loss to Chile, would not try to defend their way to safety.

WOMEN'S ASHES 2014: England Loose To Australia In T20

England's successful Women's Ashes campaign ended in defeat as Australia earned a comfortable seven-wicket win the final Twenty20 international. On a slow Sydney pitch, England slipped to 15-3 and barely recovered - Rene Farrell taking 4-15 in their 101-8. Australia were untroubled in the chase, Elyse Villani's unbeaten 36 getting them home with nine balls to spare.

England had already won the Ashes on the multi-format points system, but end with three wins and four defeats. Their defence of the trophy they won at home last summer was given the best possible start by a 61-run win in the Test match - the six points earned meaning only two victories were needed from the three one-day internationals and three T20s.

CRICKET: Australia Crush England In Second T20 In Melbourne

Australia took control of the second T20 against England in Melbourne courtesy of an outstanding performance in the field, and no example of that was better than Glenn Maxwell's run and throw to run out Joe Root.
Australia added the Twenty20 series to their victories in the Ashes and one-day internationals, as an eight-wicket win over England gave them a 2-0 lead. England lost four wickets in as many overs early in their innings after opting to bat and only Jos Buttler (22) passed 20 in their mediocre 130-9.

CRICKET: Australia Beat England In First Twenty20 International

Needing to equal their highest ever T20 total to win, England soon lost three wickets for seven runs in 13 balls. Ravi Bopara struck seven sixes in an unbeaten 65, the fastest England T20 fifty, as they finished on 200-9.

CRICKET: Australia Defeat England In Adelaide

England threw away a winning position as they crumbled to a five-run defeat by Australia in the fifth one-day international in Adelaide. Stuart Broad and Ben Stokes took three wickets apiece as the hosts were restricted to 217-9 on a slow pitch.

The tourists were cruising at 154-3 in the 36th over before Eoin Morgan and Joe Root (55) fell in quick succession.
Wickets continued to tumble as England were 212 all out in the last over to gift Australia a 4-1 series win.

The defeat sounds the final note of a dismal tour for England captain Alastair Cook, who will fly home before the teams contest a three-match Twenty20 series.

CRICKET: SOUTH AFRICA vs AUSTRALIA - George Bailey Dropped By Australia
