But it was a different story for former champions Wasps who saw the pain of a 19-12 defeat away to French side Perpignan compounded by an injury to England international Josh Lewsey which threatens the back's participation in the Twickenham Test match against World Cup favorites New Zealand on Sunday week.
Lewsey, who can play on either the wing or at full-back, left the Stade Aime Giral with his knee in a brace and now must come through a scan if he is to face the All Blacks.
His exit in France was the last thing world champions England's head coach Andy Robinson needed having already lost through injury the likes of backs Jonny Wilkinson, Olly Barkley and Stuart Abbott, as well as second-row forward Steve Borthwick ahead of the Nov. 5 meeting with New Zealand.
"I will have to wait and see what the scan says, but I am being as positive as possible," Lewsey said. "It was a twist, it was one of those things you can't predict, and the pain wouldn't go away when I was trying to run at top end."
Positive
"My gut feeling is that is it not as bad as it looks, but we will just have to wait and see. I might be training by next Tuesday or Wednesday, I just don't know," Lewsey added.
Perpignan lock Colin Gaston's second-minute try proved the decisive score in this Pool Two fixture.
Agen victorious
Elsewhere French side Agen enjoyed a 32-26 win away to Gloucester despite gifted Cherry and Whites center Anthony Allen celebrating his call-up into the England squad with two tries.
Victory for Agen, their second in as many Pool Two matches, owed much to tries from Arnaud Mignardi, Pieter Van Niekerk, Thomas Soucaze and a bonus point score from Conrad Stoltz.
Agen fly-half Jerome Miquel's three conversions and a penalty also proved important.
England World Cup-winning hooker Steve Thompson's try helped Northampton to a 37-13 win against Border Reivers at Franklin's Gardens while Biarritz Olympique, last season's beaten finalists, thrashed Italian minnows Overmach Parma 50-7.
Biarritz ran in seven tries.
France international scrum-half Dmitri Yachvili scored two tries and slotted four conversions and a penalty as the visitors comfortably claimed their second win in as many Pool Six matches.
Eighth man Thomas Lievremont, whose season has been disrupted by a recurrent thigh injury, scored a try on his comeback.
RECORD DEFEAT: The Shanghai-based ‘Oriental Sports Daily’ said the drubbing was so disastrous, and taste so bitter, that all that is left is ‘numbness’ Chinese soccer fans and media rounded on the national team yesterday after they experienced fresh humiliation in a 7-0 thrashing to rivals Japan in their opening Group C match in the third phase of Asian qualifying for the 2026 World Cup. The humiliation in Saitama on Thursday against Asia’s top-ranked team was China’s worst defeat in World Cup qualifying and only a goal short of their record 8-0 loss to Brazil in 2012. Chinese President Xi Jinping once said he wanted China to host and even win the World Cup one day, but that ambition looked further away than ever after a
‘KHELIFMANIA’: In the weeks since the Algerian boxer won gold in Paris, national enthusiasm is inspiring newfound interest in the sport, particularly among women In the weeks since Algeria’s Imane Khelif won an Olympic gold medal in women’s boxing, athletes and coaches in the North African nation say national enthusiasm is inspiring newfound interest in the sport, particularly among women. Khelif’s image is practically everywhere, featured in advertisements at airports, on highway billboards and in boxing gyms. The 25-year-old welterweight’s success in Paris has vaulted her to national hero status, especially after Algerians rallied behind her in the face of uninformed speculation about her gender and eligibility to compete. Amateur boxer Zougar Amina, a medical student who has been practicing for a year, called Khelif an
Crowds descended on the home of 17-year-old Chinese diver Quan Hongchan after she won two golds at the Paris Olympics while gymnast Zhang Boheng hid in a Beijing airport toilet to escape overzealous throngs of fans. They are just two recent examples of what state media are calling “toxic fandom” and Chinese authorities have vowed to crack down on it. Some of the adulation toward China’s sports stars has been more sinister — fans obsessing over athletes’ personal lives, cyberbullying opponents or slamming supposedly crooked judges. Experts say it mirrors the kind of behavior once reserved for entertainment celebrities before
