Report

The Seven Asia Zone Qualifying teams played three Rounds to decide the team to represent Asia at the 1999 Rugby World Cup. Sri Lanka progressed from Round A after wins over Thailand and Singapore, and in Round B nearly pulled off a shock, defeating Malaysia and narrowly losing (27-31) to Chinese Taipei, who went through to Round C having won convincingly over Malaysia. There they met Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong, and despite a shock win over Hong Kong were completely outclassed by both South Korea and Japan, losing 6-134 to the latter in the biggest score and highest margin of victory in the qualifying tournament. Japan went on to Qualify with easy wins over Hong Kong and South Korea, who despite losing to Hong Kong went through to the Repechage Tournament by virtue of their 81-21 win over Chinese Taipei.

Report

Leinster, Ulster and Munster all won their opening fixtures in the first six rounds of the 2020-21 Pro14 Rugby Competition, with Connacht winning two of their four matches played. Leinster topped Conference A on bonus points with wins over Dragons, Benetton, Zebre, Glasgow Warriors, Ospreys and Edinburgh. Ulster defeated Benetton, Ospreys, Dragons, Cardiff Blues, Glasgow Warriors and Zebre to lie in second place in Conference A. In Conference B, Munster led with wins over Scarlets, Edinburgh, Cardiff Blues, Dragons and Ospreys. Connacht, meanwhile, were in fourth place in Conference B with victories over Scottish sides Glasgow Warriors and Edinburgh, but losses to Welsh teams Cardiff Blues and Scarlets.

By the end of the season Leinster had won Conference A with 14 wins from 16 matches, the same as Ulster, although Leinster’s 15 Bonus Points compared to Ulster’s 8 saw them through to the Final on 71 points, with Ulster in second on 64. Leinster’s two losses came against Connacht in Round 10 and Ospreys in Round 16. Both of Ulster’s defeats came against Leinster – in Rounds 11 and 14 – which gave the Conference Title to Leinster. Conference B meanwhile was a lot easier for Munster, who qualified for the Final with a 14-2 Wins-Losses Record and 64 Points. Connacht were runners-up with 8 wins and 8 losses but 13 Bonus Points to finish on 45 Points, the Bonus Points giving them the edge over Cardiff Blues and Scarlets who also won 8 and lost 8. The Final proved to be a low-scoring affair with Leinster winning 16-6 over Munster.

About Pro14 Rugby

14 Clubs from accross five Nations: Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Italy and South Africa compete for the Guinness Pro14 Rugby Championship. The Leagues Origins lie in the formation of a competition for Welsh and Scottish clubs, which in 2001 became the Celtic League after the addition of the four Irish Provinces. In 2010 the Competition added two Italian Clubs to bring the number of countries involved to four, reflected in the name change to Pro12 in later seasons. In what was an historic move in 2017, the Competition became the most diverse yet, with the addition of two South African Provinces, becoming a Cross-Hemisphere Competiton for the first time.

Report

Ireland’s best ever performances in the Women’s Six Nations Rugby came when winning the Championship in 2013 and 2015. In 2013 Ireland won all five matches finishing four points ahead of both France and England. The 2015 Championship was the most competitive, with four points separating the top five countries, Ireland winning on points difference from France after both finished on 8 points. Ireland had been steadily improving, having finished fourth in both 2007 and 2008, the Irish Women then came third four years running from 2009 to 2012 before their big triumph in 2013. In 2014 it was back to third, and again in 2016 after victory in the 2015 Championship. Try and Losing Bonus Bonus Points were brought in from 2017 onwards, with double the amount of points for a win or draw.

Boroughmuir won Pool A ahead of a Tournament Selection, and a below-form Blue Demons from Cork. Manchester Area All-Stars won Pool B by defeating both St. Vincent’s “B” team and Sligo All-Stars, who also qualified for the Semi-Finals on points difference as best second placed qualifier ahead of Heriots of Polonia. Manchester again defeated Sligo in the 3rd Place Playoff after falling to St. Vincent’s in the Semi-Finals. The other Semi-Final was a 17 point victory for Boroughmuir, who scored a tournament-high 90 points against Sligo All-Stars.

Report

Javan Dupree led Star of the Sea of Belfast to their first ever Irish Basketball Association Men’s Super League National Championship in 1997-98, running up a 17-1 regular season record (their only loss was a 93-84 loss to Denny Notre Dame in Week 6, which put the Tallaght side on top of the table on 6-0). After going 9-0 in the first half Denny faltered over Christmas and New Year’s, with back to back losses to Kerry Spring Water Killarney and Killester. Notre Dame stuck with Star through Week 14, just a game behind the Belfast side going into the big clash between the two in Week 15, which Star won 100-83 with 29 points by C Guitlar, 24 by G Maguire and 19 by Adrian Fulton. Another loss the following week for Denny meant the League title was wrapped up by Star in Week 16, and they went on to win the National Championships with a 92-74 victory over their nearest challengers on March 15th, Gareth Maguire scoring 23, C Guitlar 20 and John Leahy 18. Denny’s Americans, Randall Mounts (27) and Lennie McMillan were unable to stop them.
