Happy birthday Jenell Pardiwalla!
 
Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian, in the middle of the Blue continent, where it is mostly cloudy again and a warm 23 degrees Celsius at 5am this morning.
 
In Rugby Union: The All Blacks crushed Eddie Jones’s Japan 64-19 in Yokohama yesterday, running in 10 tries in a routine win despite a sleepy start.
 
Debutant Ruben Love put a polish on the score by claiming two late tries in the space of three minutes for New Zealand after coming off the bench.

The match was the All Blacks’ first in a tour that will also see them take on England, Ireland, France and Italy on successive weekends.

In Rugby League: Playing in his last Test for the Fiji Bati, Michael Jennings scored a treble, Maika Sivo and Semi Valemei chimed in with a double each, out of a total of 10 tries of which eight were converted for a big 56-6 win over the Cook Islands in the Pacific Bowl in Suva last night.
 
The Fiji Bulikula also won 18-6.  
 
In the NBA: Following his high-profile move from the Golden State Warriors, four-time NBA Champion Klay Thompson was back to his best, dropping six triples on 7-of-13 shooting from the field with seven rebounds and three steals in 26 minutes in his Dallas Mavericks debut.

While Thompson popped off 22 points, Luka Doncic top-scored with 27 as Dallas downed the San Antonio Spurs 109-120 in their season opener on Friday.

The sharpshooting star’s six three-pointers set a franchise record for the most threes for a Mavericks player on debut.

In UFC: “It’s a tough fight for both guys. If you look at what Rob has accomplished, who he has fought, this is one of his toughest tests. And there’s no doubt about it that this is definitely Khamzat’s toughest test,” UFC Boss Dana White bangs on about Robert  Whittaker vs Khamzat Chimaev in UFC308 today in Abu Dhabi.

In Football: Man U is actively speaking to the following Managers to replace Erik10: Former Barcelona Coach Xavi, Sporting Lisbon’s Ruben Amorim, Edin Terzic who is available after leaving Borussia Dortmund and Brentford’s Thomas Frank also has his admirers at Old Trafford.
 
In the MLB World Series: The Los Angeles Dodgers brought back vivid memories of championships in 1981 and 1988, all wrapped inside a single emotional evening, as they powered their way to the early advantage in the MLB World Series.
 
Freddie Freeman hit a game-ending grand slam in the bottom of the 10th innings as Los Angeles rallied for a 6-3 win over the New York Yankees yesterday to win Game 1.
The 35-year-old first baseman delivered in the clutch with a moment that is destined to become part of the folklore of World Series history.

An elated Freeman joked that he had almost had an out-of-body experience as he rounded the bases before being mobbed by team-mates as roars of “Freddie, Freddie” cascaded down from the sold-out Dodger Stadium stands.

“It felt like nothing, just kind of floating,” Freeman said. “Those are the kind of things, when you’re five years old with your two older brothers and you’re playing in the backyard, those are the scenarios you dream about; two outs, bases loaded in a World Series game.

It’s “Showtime” sports fans, and that’s a wrap!
