Sir Ian McGeechan, the head coach of the former Scotland and British and Irish Lions, has stated that his prostate cancer is “all gone and under control.”

The 78-year-old, who is a consultant rugby director at Doncaster Knights in England’s second tier, has supported calls for the introduction of a national screening program.

Following treatment, which included a six-week course of radiotherapy, McGeechan shared his diagnosis in May, which included a positive update.

“So it’s quite special when you hear someone say to you, “You have got cancer,” you can’t help but feel special. I’m delighted that the prostate cancer is completely under control.

Prostate Cancer UK statistics show that 12 000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year, and that more than 63, 000 of those diagnosed with the disease pass away.

The UK National Screening Committee is currently evaluating whether a prostate cancer screening program should be established in response to growing requests for annual tests.

According to McGeechan, “it needs that government support.” Because prostate cancer can be recovered, there must be a screening program.

And it would be a shame if people didn’t get a scan and were just able to ask, “Can you, can’t you?” instead?

McGeechan, a fly-half from Leeds, won the 1974 Lions series in South Africa, and the team then made another appearance in New Zealand in 1977. He won 32 of Scotland’s caps, including nine as captain.

He became a coach after winning the 1990 Five Nations Grand Slam and the 1989 and 1997 series victories as the Lions’ manager.

In Arsenal’s 4-0 win over Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, Viktor Gyokeres put an end to a nine-game goalless run for the club and nation, scoring twice. Manager Mikel Arteta was quick to applaud his all-round performance.

Arteta cites his athleticism and work-rate as distinguishing qualities as the 27-year-old makes the Gunners “a much better team,” blaming his signing as making them “much more unpredictable,” and citing his ability to “make them” as stand-out traits.

After winning the Champions League, the Spaniard praised him for being so physically fit and holding the ball.

The data supports Arteta’s assertion that Gyokeres offers more than just goals, especially when winning the ball back in advanced positions.

Gyokeres tops the Premier League in terms of using “high pressure” in the final third, which Opta defines as being within 2 meters of an opponent, recording 199 such actions.

Gyokeres keeps making wise, probing runs to stretch and strengthen his defenses when Arsenal are in possession.

This season, the Swede has made more off-the-ball runs into the penalty area than any other Premier League player.

Arsenal’s focus has increased as a result of Gyokeres’ signing this summer, especially in the second half of the campaign, when injuries forced them to deal with without Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus.

Havertz can provide an aerial threat in the box, but the versatile German is not just a pure number nine, which is a claim made of Jesus, who has frequently played on the wing since he first arrived in England.

Gyokeres, on the other hand, consistently leads the opposition box and has played more games than any other Gunners player this year.

Gyokeres will undoubtedly be judged on his goals as a centre-forward, but it is unrealistic to expect him to score at the impressive level he did in Portugal, where he scored 97 goals in 102 games for Sporting.

He has four goals in 11 starts for Arsenal, and it should be possible to finish 2025-26 with at least 20 goals if he can maintain or even increase that score.

Ever since Gyokeres arrived at the club, fans have been anticipating seeing the striker score two goals in a sizable match.

One of the reasons Arsenal selected Gyokeres was because he would make room for the attacking players behind him, including Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka, Eze, and Odegaard.

This season, Arsenal have altered their play to move the ball forward more quickly, and this in part because Gyokeres’ size and range of running speed allow the team to utilize his size and power to its fullest.

Gyokeres had not scored in seven games for Arsenal before his goals last night, and the forward was occasionally glaringly frustrated.

Gyokeres has received praise from Mikel Arteta whenever the chance arises, and his teammates have expressed their gratitude for his efforts.

Susie Wilson-Rowe, a former England and Kent batter, has been given a stage four lung cancer diagnosis.

The 38-year-old claims that her spine and lymph nodes have already been affected by the uncommon form of non-small cell lung cancer Exon 20.

Wilson-Rowe, who made 23 T20 appearances for England, was diagnosed earlier this year while taking maternity leave following the birth of her son Zach, citing “struggling with months of pain” in her ribs and scapula area.

Wilson-Rowe claimed that she began to struggle to cough, sneeze, and lift her son and occasionally struggled to breathe as a result of the pain she felt.

Initial thought it was a muscle strain, but later tests and X-rays revealed a tumor that had spread to her left lung.

According to the statement, she is currently receiving chemotherapy and immunotherapy, which have been “successful so far.”

Some funds will go to the Exon 20 Group, a charity that conducts research on treatments specific to this type of lung cancer, while others will go to Kent to raise money to pay for Wilson-Rowe’s ongoing care and treatment.

In her strength, kindness, and unwavering drive, Simmons, the statement read, “She has given so much to cricket as a player, coach, mentor, and friend, and she has inspired countless others.”

Wilson-Rowe, who came through the club’s path, made 79 appearances for Kent over the course of her career.

Between 2006 and 2012, she won the women’s county championship five times, as well as the 2011 National Women’s T20 competition.

Wilson-Rowe, who was born in London, played hockey for Surrey for two seasons before initially leaving the sport in 2015. In 2020, Wilson-Rowe joined the team that won the T20 South East Group and Women’s London Championship.
