Rugby: Outhalf Stephen Larkham and lock Justin Harrison have been included in the Australian team for Saturday's Tri-Nations rugby Test against New Zealand in Dunedin. Larkham, who missed the Wallabies' last two internationals against the Lions and South Africa, returns after recovering from a nerve complaint in his right arm and displaces Elton Flatley.
Harrison, Australia's hero in the third Test victory over the Lions in Sydney last month, comes in for suspended lock David Giffin. Australia need to beat the All Blacks after losing their opening Tri Nations game against the Springboks 20-15 in Pretoria a fortnight ago.
Rugby: John Hayes, Mick Galwey, Anthony Foley and Mike Mullins return to action for Munster for tomorrow's game against Bath in Thomond Park.
The international quartet were rested for last night's game against Wasps and return to a side that sees just three players retained from the side that recorded a 35-5 victory.
John O'Neill and Anthony Horgan continue on the wings while Justin Holland reverts to the centre with Killian Keane now wearing the number 10 jersey. Mick Galwey will be partnered in the second row by newcomer Paul O'Connell
Rowing: Ireland's Eimear Moran finished second behind defending champion Julia Heitmann of Germany yesterday in the fourth heat of the women's single sculls at the World Junior Championships in Duisburg in Germany.
The 17-year-old Offaly woman, who can row at this level for another year, goes into today's repechage hoping to finish first or second and so make a place in tomorrow's A semi-final.
Boxing: Mike Tyson's next date in the ring has suffered a setback because of a contract hitch, co-promoter Mogens Palle said yesterday.
The former world heavyweight champion is scheduled to face Denmark's Brian Nielsen in Copenhagen on September 8th, but the controversial American has yet to sign the deal.
"All the details of the contract have been negotiated and sent to Tyson's lawyers, but it hasn't been signed," said Palle.
Promoters have refused to comment on reports Tyson is receiving $6 million for the fight.
