Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025: Wales vs. Canada

Salford Community Stadium Date: Saturday, August 30 Kick-off: 12:00 BST

Wales will have “nothing to lose,” according to Kelsey Jones, and they must support themselves when they take on Pool B favorites Canada in the Rugby World Cup.

Wales lost to Scotland in their opening game 38-8, which implies that they must likely face the world’s second-best team next if they want to advance to the quarter-finals.

With their 66-point victory over Fiji, Canada has already set a new record.

It’s just pure disappointment and frustration right now, according to Jones, a Welsh hooker.

“We’re absolutely devastated, but this is a fantastic opportunity to reflect.”

With Canada tipped to lead the pool, Scotland vs. Wales was supposed to be the decisive game between both teams.

Scotland produced an impressive six-try display of solidarity against a pitiful Wales despite their off-field issues involving player contracts.

According to Jones, “That was our cup final, that’s how we saw it.”

On Saturday, Wales travel to Salford Community Stadium to face Canada, and Jones sees this as a chance for them to come back.

She said, “We have things to look forward to, we’re playing in a World Cup, and what an occasion it is.”

We’re really looking forward to having the chance to play rugby at least twice more because “you never know what can happen, it depends on who shows up on the day.”

We are aware that they will be a significant challenge because of their physical nature.

We say “we’re going to be a hard team to beat,” but we didn’t, and now I think we have an opportunity to demonstrate that.

After their performance, some fans were critical of Wales, but Jones has urged them to continue supporting them.

We adore your support and our desire to inspire the next generation. We take great pride in making sure we see people after the game, she said.

Keegan Bradley will become the first playing captain for the USA since 1963, according to Donald Trump, president of the United States, and he pledges to attend the 2025 Ryder Cup the following month.

Trump, a devoted golfer and fan, will attend the first day of the 45th edition of the event, which will take place on September 26 through 28 at New York’s Bethpage Black Course.

Following their victory over the USA in Rome in 2023, Europe are the current Ryder Cup winners, making an effort to become the first team to win away from Medinah in 2012.

“It will be a fantastic Ryder Cup,” he declared. I’ll be there on Friday for the PGA Tour’s invitation, “I’ll be there.” Trump posted about his social media platform Truth Social.

Arnold Palmer, 34, was the last player to win the 15th edition of the 62-year-old men’s golf championship.

Bradley, 39, placed 10th in the USA’s Ryder Cup standings after winning the BMW Championship last Sunday in a tie for 17th place.

Trump continued, “Keegan Bradley should unquestionably be a captain for the American Ryder Cup team!” He is a fantastic man.

Bryson DeChambeau, Russell Henley, Harris English, Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, and JJ Spaun are already well-known, with JJ Spaun, Russell Henley, Harris English, and Xander Schauffele automatically securing their spots.

Limp Bizkit delight fans with ‘Liam and Noel Gallagher cameo’ at Leeds Festival

By in Entertainment News, News

ExCLUSIVE: Before My Way was performed, a joke about the Manchester rock legends playing at the Leeds Festival made an appearance on television.

Assistant Celebrity and Entertainment Editors Daniel Bird and Daniel Bird

Limp Bizkit delighted fans when they put up a hilarious joke photo of Oasis stars Liam and Noel Gallagher on the screen at Leeds Festival on the Main Stage. As Oasis mania continues to surge following the “great wait” ending almost exactly a year ago, Limp Bizkit paid tribute to the once-warring brothers.

Before My Way was performed, a joke picture of the Manchester rock legends appeared on screens. The sold-out crowd instantly erupted into cheers. A source told the Mirror: “It was completely unexpected. Liam and Noel are heading to Toronto to continue the Oasis Live’25 tour, which sold out almost instantly.

However, the audience’s reaction to seeing them on Bramham Park’s screens was enough to add some Oasis energy. One of the highlights of the weekend was witnessing one outstanding rock band honor the best of the UK.

Meanwhile, Liam recently extended an unexpected offer to his brother Noel – who he was feuding with fore over a decade before they reunited for an Oasis tour.

The brothers famously got angry with one another in 2009 after breaking up in a press conference and posting online.

Fans were over the moon when the Gallagher brothers announced they paused their feud in order to reform Oasis and hit the road for the first world tour since their fallout 15 years before.

Oasis Live ’25 Tour, a highly anticipated tour that was officially launched at the beginning of July, would be an understatement to call it a success.

According to a recent report, Liam may have invited his older brother Noel to this year’s Christmas celebrations. Peggy, 82, their proud mother, who attended her boys’ performances in Dublin earlier this month, is also expected to attend the family reunion.

Fans were anticipating surprises as the duo’s tour progressed. However, it was revealed that the same set of songs will continue to be played throughout.

The news was revealed by Noel’s close pal Matt Morgan. Speaking on his podcast, he said: Matt said: “It’s mad that they’re doing the same set.

“I anticipated that they would slightly modify it.” Noel responded, “Don’t you just want to mix it up? “. He replied, “No, I like it that.” He is aware of his location. They “bang it out”

Everyone has the same experience, according to me, not because I believe that’s coming from a place of laziness. That’s a lot of songs, given that it’s more than two hours long. I anticipated that they would play 30 songs, then switch them out for different nights, and change up a little, but they are steadfastly sticking to the setlist.

VIDEO: Nigeria At Peace, Yet Showing Symptoms Far Worse Than War-Torn Nations — Chidoka

By in News, Nigeria News

Osita Chidoka, a former aviation minister, has warned that more countries are displaying signs of instability than those that are at war.

Chidoka, who made an appearance on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, said, “From the data, it’s about more than a civil war. Nigeria, a country that is technically at peace, exhibits symptoms much deeper than nations at war, if you look at the number of people killed in Gaza, Syria, and other conflicts around the world.

Chidoka recently co-authored an open letter that criticized Nigeria as “bleeding,” along with other well-known Nigerians from all political, regional, and civil society perspectives.

He explained that the intervention was prompted by the citizens’ growing sense of hopelessness and distrust.

Because the nation is suffering greatly, we all decided to unite. He remarked that this is not a game of blame; rather, it is a call on the government to show leadership and unite allies before we lose this nation.

Trump has no basis to deploy troops to Chicago: Top Democratic US lawmaker

By in News, World News

According to reports of administration plans to send National Guard soldiers to the Midwestern city, Democratic leaders in the United States are ecstatic that President Donald Trump has the authority to send US troops there.

Trump, a Republican, has stated that he would likely expand the federal forces’ deployment to other cities, including Chicago, to oversee policing in Washington, D.C. He also suggested considering sending troops to Democratic-run Baltimore in Maryland on Sunday.

Hakeem Jeffries, the leader of the Democratic House of Representatives, decried plans to send federal forces to Chicago on Sunday. In Chicago, crime rates, including murders, have decreased recently.

According to Jeffries, “Donald Trump might try to drop federal troops into the city of Chicago has no basis or authority,” he told CNN.

The states are given the authority to policing according to the US Constitution.

The Pentagon has been making plans for a possible troop deployment in Chicago, according to a report released on Saturday by The Washington Post.

The push was quickly rejected by Democratic governor of Illinois, where Chicago is located.

According to a statement from JB Pritzker, “Donald Trump is attempting to manufacture a crisis, politicize Americans who serve in uniform, and continue abusing his power to distract from the pain he is causing working families.”

Trump criticized Maryland’s Democratic Governor Wes Moore for the city’s high crime rates, and criticized the governor there for sending troops there.

The Baltimore police department reported a double-digit decrease in gun violence in July as compared to the previous year. The mayor claims that this year saw the fewest homicides in over 50 years in the city.

Trump stated on his social media platform, Truth Social, on Sunday, “If Wes Moore needs assistance, I will send in the “troops,” which are currently being done in nearby DC, and quickly clean up the Crime.”

Trump has characterized major cities, which are almost entirely run by Democrats, as rife with crime, drugs, and homelessness.

Some rural conservative beliefs toward liberal cities were echoed by that perception.

At Trump’s request, several Republican governors earlier this month sent hundreds of National Guard troops to Washington. Despite official data showing a decrease in crime in the city, the president has claimed that the city is in the grip of a crime wave.

Trump attributed his deployment of troops and hundreds of federal law enforcement personnel to the lack of any supporting evidence in the US capital on Sunday.

Critics of the US president have argued that Washington’s crackdown may serve as a test for the US cities’ continued militarisation.

Trump has far more authority over the District of Columbia, which is not a part of a US state, than he does over Chicago and Baltimore.

A provision in Title 10 of the US Code, a federal law that specifies the duties of the US armed forces, allows the president to deploy National Guard units to repel invasions, halt a rebellion, or put the law into effect, is included.

Governor Gavin Newsom’s objections led to the use of Section 12406, which Trump cited when he sent National Guard units to California earlier this year to protest.

Trump might argue that the military presence is justified by local laws that prohibit city officials from cooperating with federal immigration agents in Chicago.
