After a goalless first half, Cameroon forward Mbeumo – returning from Africa Cup of Nations duty – fired United in front, with Dorgu doubling the lead 11 minutes later. Rooney said it was the “best performance” he had seen from United in a long time.”I think what Michael has done with the team wasn’t rocket science.

Having been a Test regular since his debut in 2022, Rio Dyer was overlooked by Warren Gatland for last year’s Six Nations.The Dragons wing was recalled by Tandy for the autumn series, featuring against South Africa, and has been in fine form since.His double against Newcastle Red Bulls took his record to four tries in five games as well as providing assists.The 26-year-old has his confidence back and is finishing impressively, beating defenders, running strong lines and hunting work.If Tandy follows Bristol’s lead by moving Louis Rees-Zammit to full-back, it could open space for the 24-cap wing.”Rio’s got that X-factor…

Labour’s proposed amendment to the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill could expose veterans to a flood of around 800 lawsuits and cost the taxpayer millions, campaigners have warned.
