Scotland still have a job to do against Romania on Saturday, but inevitably they are thinking ahead to a potential do-or-die clash with Ireland in Paris on 7 October where their fortunes in a tough Rugby World Cup Pool B will be decided. Scotland scored seven tries as they defeated Tonga 45-17 in a bruising encounter in Nice on Sunday to get their campaign up and running following an opening 18-3 loss to South Africa. Unless there are a shock set of results between now and then, Scotland are likely to head to the French capital knowing victory could see them into the quarter-finals at the expense of the number one ranked side in the world. "Never write us off," fullback Blair Kinghorn warned. "We did what we needed to do (against Tonga), we'll do what we need to do next week (against Romania), then we'll take it on into Paris.
Pace bowling adds just another essence to the game of cricket. Anything bowled above 140kmph is considered to be a good pace even in international cricket and the bowlers who can clock such a speed with good line and length are a gem. So is the case with Pakistan's Haris Rauf. The ace speedster has some serious pace in his bowling as he can easily clock around 150kmph. However, Rauf too has an inspiration to keep himself going. His ideal is not among the Pakistan greats like Shoaib Akhtar or Wasim Akram, it's rather an ex-Royal Challengers Bangalore and former South Africa bowler Dale Steyn.
Megan Rapinoe was a winner in her farewell game for the United States on Sunday, setting up a goal with a corner kick in a 2-0 triumph over South Africa. The iconic 38-year-old striker, celebrated for off-field activism as well as glories on the pitch, ended her epic US career with 63 goals in 203 caps over more than 17 years with a 54th-minute exit at Chicago's Soldier Field. "It makes me really proud to know we've been as successful on the field as we have, but also that we've helped make the world a little bit better of a place," Rapinoe said after the victory.

It was an easy comparison to make before the game that Ireland and South Africa's Rugby World Cup Pool B meeting in Paris was going to be like a heavyweight boxing match.
Ireland's hard-fought win over world champions South Africa will only increase the team's belief and confidence, says Simon Easterby.
