Luke Ronchi, Jacob Oram to Miss New Zealand Assignments After PSL Coaching Clearance

Published by Webster

The New Zealand assistant coaches Luke Ronchi and Jacob Oram have been cleared by New Zealand Cricket to take up coaching assignments with Islamabad United in the PSL 2026, which is set to begin on March 26. Luke Ronchi will be taking over the head coach duties of the franchise, while Jacob Oram will be one of his assistants. Since the PSL is set to be played until the end of April, the duo will be missing the national team’s tour against South Africa and the tour of Bangladesh. Speaking over the decision, New Zealand’s performance manager Mike Sandle said the board supports Luke Ronchi and Oram’s coaching opportunities, which will help out the team. “This is a great chance for Luke and Jake to further their coaching experience and grow their skills outside of the New Zealand cricket environment,” Mike Sandle said. “Just like our players, our coaches are in demand around the world and we believe Luke and Jake will not only personally benefit from their time at the PSL, but they will …

Pune Grand Tour 2026: Luke Mudgway wins; Harshveer Sekhon best Indian

Published by Webster

The Bajaj Pune Grand Tour 2026 concluded on Sunday with a fitting finale, as the Pune Pride Loop delivered colour, crowds and closure to a week that has reshaped India’s place on the global cycling map. Stage Four traced a 95-kilometre circuit through the heart of the city, rising 578 metres and weaving past Pune’s modern arteries and historic icons, including Shaniwar Wada, before this race reached its conclusion. When the dust settled after 437 gruelling kilometres, Li Ning Star, China stood atop the team General Classification with a combined time of 28:41:19.

Pune Grand Tour cycling: Team player Luke Mudgway finishes on top; keeps Kiwi tradition of sharing credit | Sport-others News

A recurring feature of most of New Zealand’s big wins in cricket tends to be that it’s hardly ever one hero who wins them games. It always tends to be a collective effort with brilliant bits and pugnacious pieces. Over the last two days, Kiwi cyclist Luke Mudgway has proved that the musketeer approach isn’t restricted to cricket or rugby. New Zealanders win yellow jerseys in cycling too, and pass abundant credit onto teammates, displaying how strategic teamwork is in a seemingly individual sport. Road cycling can be as individualistic as a rider wants it to be – his bike, his wattage, his destiny. But despite winning clutch finishes in sprints after two tough relentless days in Pune, Mudgway acknowledged – like every single time he wins – how he was lifted by one of his mates in the toughest moments. “My teammates did an amazing job today. I had one of them with me after the first climb. He rode me to the finish, and then I got to sprint, and I’m happy I …

Manchester United Must Make Changes After ‘Unacceptable’ Season, Says Luke Shaw

Manchester United Must Make Changes After ‘Unacceptable’ Season, Says Luke Shaw

Published by Webster

Manchester United defender Luke Shaw said he and his team-mates have to question whether they are good enough to represent the English giants after defeat in the Europa League final to Tottenham rounded off a woeful season. Spurs ended a 17-year trophy drought with a scrappy 1-0 win in Bilbao thanks to Brennan Johnson’s effort after Shaw failed to deal with a cross. United, who sit 16th in the Premier League, will now miss out on European football entirely next season for only the second time in 35 years.  “For a club like Manchester United, it’s nowhere near good enough,” said Shaw. “I think definitely me, and I think all of us have to question ourselves tonight, are we good enough to be here? Because this club, this season, it’s not acceptable.” Defeat will ramp up the pressure on manager Ruben Amorim, who has failed to make any positive impact on results since taking charge in November. The Portuguese is just the latest highly-rated coach to struggle in the Old Trafford hot seat …

Bridgerton Season 3: Nicola Coughlan Reveals Luke Newton Was Sick During First Week of Filming ‘Scary’ Polin Scene

Published by Parlour News

Nicola Coughlan recalled the first scene she shot with Luke Newton in Bridgerton season 3, and it was none other than the epic ballroom scene. At this point, Colin (Newton) is conflicted about his feelings for Penelope (Coughlan) and fumes watching her dance with another eligible suitor.  However, the actress revealed that Newton was sick when they filmed the scene, which was a turning point in season 3. In an interview with British Vogue, Coughlan shared the behind-the-scenes insights.  “This is the first scene I shot with Luke, and he was ill the first week of filming,” she revealed. Although the duo looked effortless in the final shot, it wasn’t a cakewalk. The Derry Girls actress recalled it as a “scary” experience for multiple reasons.  Firstly, their characters shared a different dynamic at that point of the story as opposed to their season 1 and 2 interactions. Secondly, it was a huge ballroom set up. “It was really scary because it was sort of a different dynamic than we’d ever had before on the show,” …

In just 14 moves, Ian Nepomniachtchi was reduced to frowning at his pieces like they were refusing to obey his commands. Things had curdled pretty fast for the Russian on the board in round 3 of the Grenke Freestyle Chess Open 2025. A few moves later, Nepo was pushed past the point of no return. On move 36, he resigned. Against a player who had over 100 rating points less than him. In the next round, it was Hungarian grandmaster Richard Rapport’s turn to endure punishment, and then heartbreak in the form of defeat. The player who had made two of the world’s top chess players roll over in back-to-back games was a 19-year-old grandmaster from India. Not one of the usual suspects of Gukesh, Praggnanandhaa and Arjun Erigaisi. The boy making heads turn at the Grenke Freestyle event over nine rounds was Leon Luke Mendonca, who is contemporary of the Gukesh-Praggnanandhaa-Arjun Erigaisi vintage, and was playing in his first event in freestyle chess — a variant of the sport that has been called by …
