Shortly after the final whistle had blown, the party was in full swing for Glasgow Warriors. The champagne corks popped to a distinctly Scottish soundtrack in Pretoria as The Proclaimers boomed out on the tannoy at Loftus Versfeld. Glasgow weren't 500 miles from home, but 8,500. Halfway around the other side of the world, to borrow another line from the Proclaimers, they were King of the Road in this season's United Rugby Championship. For there can be no doubt that Glasgow have done this the hard way. Road Warriors who won away at Munster in the semi-finals before defying the odds to beat the Bulls 21-16 in South Africa in the Grand Final on Saturday night.

South Africa 18-3 Scotland: Springboks' World Cup defence gets off to a winning start after Jesse Kriel controversially avoids red card

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 10, 2023
ROB ROBERTSON IN MARSEILLE: South Africa's victory over Scotland was shrouded in mystery after Jesse Kriel was lucky not to be red carded after just 57 seconds. Referee Angus Gardner and his staff were unable to attend the incident, which occurred when he made contact with Jack Dempsey's head. Former Scotland captain John Barclay said at halftime on ITV that he deserved to be shown a red card. It seemed to be on a par with the challenge that England's Tom Curry faced early on in his match against Argentina that resulted in his ordering, but the South African got away with it on this occasion. Being a man down early in the game could have been a game changer for Scotland as the Scotland mounted a vain attempt against a South African who didn't appear to be world beaters. The Springboks went down just six points to three before leading their game in the second forty minutes.

According to a body language specialist, Anthony Joshua (right) appeared to deliver the winner's address (left) he had been preparing before ultimately losing in the heavyweight match against Oleksandr Usyk (inset left) in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night. Joshua, a British actor, lost his third fight of his professional career in Jeddah and his second in succession against the Ukrainians, leaving him in a state of 'cognitive confusion.' Since the fight, it is suspected of affecting his mental stability, prompting his foul-mouthed rant, throwing the belts out of the ring, which has divided the boxing fraternity. Judi James, Sportsmail's body language specialist, weighs in on Joshua's demeanour revealed about his erratic post-fight monologue.

Joshua's sparring partner claims he was "left out to dry" by the people around him before claiming that he would have done whatever he could to get the microphone out of the two-time world champion's hand. As he appeared to suffer with the emotions of his second straight defeat, the 32-year-old British fighter went on an explicit tirade covering various aspects including his weight, his first forays into the sport, and the situation in Ukraine, where he was from his first forays into the sport. "I'd like to apologise on AJ's behalf," Campbell told SkySports viewers. He may not like me for this and his colleagues may not, but they left him out to dry there. That was so out of character but the people around him, where were they?'

Joshua got off to a good start in the game, perhaps nicking the first two or three rounds, but two of the three judges had it even at the halfway point, while others had to abandon the Ukrainian.
