Three-time European Cup champions Toulouse face a daunting trip to Bath next weekend to try and save their place in the knockout stages after they lost to Glasgow and Bath beat Newport Gwent-Dragons on Sunday.
Toulouse were beaten 33-26 while Bath held on to win 15-12.
Stade Francais, who had been given a lifeline by Harlequins’ defeat to Ulster on Saturday, saw their hopes extinguished by losing 31-17 to Scarlets on Sunday.
Despite Newport’s defeat, it was a good weekend for Welsh clubs, epitomized by Cardiff Blues’ defeat of Gloucester, who went down 16-12 at home.
Cardiff joined Munster and Harlequins in the last eight.
However, all eyes will be on Toulouse’s clash with Bath next weekend after the English club ensured a dramatic meeting after defeating Newport.
Toulouse’s defeat puts them in a precarious position as only the six group winners and two best runners-up progress to the quarter-finals.
Toulouse had fought back brilliantly after the break having trailed 23-3 with Jean-Baptiste Elissalde scoring nine points followed by a penalty try and then a touchdown by Vincent Clerc four minutes from the end to set up a spine tingling finale.
Wasps, the 2004 and 2006 champions, are also in danger of missing out. They defeated Pool Two leaders Leinster 19-12 at Twickenham but allowed the Irishmen to leave with a vital bonus point which could be enough to see them through when they entertain rock-bottom Castres in the last group game next week.
Leinster beat Wasps 41-11 in the teams’ first meeting and they will qualify should the two sides finish on level points.
Wasps’ Serge Betsen scored the only try of the game but the reliable boot of Felipe Contempomi kept Leinster in touch.
Perpignan beat Pool Three tabletoppers Ospreys 17-15 but were still eliminated as Leicester humbled Treviso 52-0.
Leicester, while leapfrogging Ospreys to the top of the table, face a tough final match as they travel to Wales next weekend.
US track and field athletes have about four dozen pieces to choose from when assembling their uniforms at the Olympics. The one grabbing the most attention is a high-cut leotard that barely covers the bikini line and has triggered debate between those who think it is sexist and others who say they do not need the Internet to make sure they have good uniforms. Among those critical or laughing at the uniforms included Paralympian Femita Ayanbeku, sprinter Britton Wilson and even athletes from other countries such as Britain’s Abigail Irozuru, who wrote on social media: “Was ANY female athlete consulted in
Forget Real Madrid, Manchester City or Paris Saint-Germain, the world’s best soccer team — statistically speaking — might be a little-known outfit from the closed central Asian nation of Turkmenistan. Founded last year, Arkadag, named in honor of former Turkmen president Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, have been unstoppable, notching up 36 consecutive domestic victories in a run still ongoing. The side have not lost a single competitive match and swept to a league and cup double in their inaugural season — success unthinkable almost anywhere else. However, in Turkmenistan, it could hardly have gone any other way. The energy-rich country is one of the most closed
Former US Masters champion Zach Johnson was left embarrassed after a foul-mouthed response to ironic cheers from spectators after a triple bogey at Augusta National on Friday. Johnson, the 2007 Masters winner, missed the cut after his three-over-par round of 75 left him on seven-over 151 for 36 holes, his six on the par-three 12th playing a big role in his downfall. Television footage showed Johnson reacting to sarcastic cheers and applause when he tapped in for the triple bogey by yelling: “Oh fuck off.” Such a response would be considered bad form in any golf tournament, but is particularly out of keeping
Taiwan’s Lee Jhe-huei and Yang Po-hsuan on Saturday won the men’s doubles bronze medal at the Badminton Asia Championships in Ningbo, China, after they were bested by the hosts in their semi-final. The Taiwanese shuttlers lost to China’s Liang Wei Keng and Wang Chang, who advanced to yesterday’s final against Malaysia’s Goh Sze Fei and Nur Izzudin. The Chinese pair outplayed Lee and Yang in straight games. Although the Taiwanese got off to a slow start in the first game, they eventually tied it 14-14, before Liang and Wang went on to blow past them to win 21-17. In the second game, Lee and
