Watching Australian Sione Tuipulotu playing for the British and Irish Lions should make the Wallabies wince. But lasting regrets would belie Tuipulotu's rise from rugby backblocks to international fame. His feats deserve comparison to trailblazers like Ange Postecoglou, Minjee Lee, and Jordan Mailata. ABC Sport will have live blog coverage of the British and Irish Lions' tour of Australia this July and August. Two generations ago, Tuipulotu's family was Scottish, Tongan, and Italian.

By Paul KennedyWe are hot and heavy into the gift-buying season. And with that in mind, might I suggest something from Hans and Margret Rey. If you know of Hans and Margret Rey, it’s probably because you liked to read as a child. It could also mean you have children of your own you like to read to.

The Jasprit Bumrah-led team bounced back from a shock series loss to New Zealand earlier this month with a display of peerless class and ruthlessness at Perth Stadium. It leaves Australia contemplating a fifth consecutive series loss to the subcontinental powerhouse.

The greatest, Muhammad Ali, said in 1967: "They say when you get hit and hurt bad you see the black lights — the black lights of unconsciousness. But I don't know nothing about that. I've had 28 fights and 28 wins. I ain't never been stopped."Tim Tszyu said on Sunday: "Every time I step into the ring, I'm willing to die here."Boxers are warriors, but sometimes they need saving from their bravery lest they see the ultimate black light.

Twelve years ago I wrote at length about the making of Melbourne Storm in a city indifferent to rugby league and how its pressures and successes led to the 2010 salary cap cheating scandal. While interviewing club and league insiders — trying to figure out who was at fault! — Storm got back onto the field, led by its three champions Billy Slater, Cooper Cronk, and Cameron Smith, and won the 2012 premiership.

Australia won its first gold medal of the 1984 LA Olympics by beating the big spending, blood doping Yanks on a 'bumpy heap of crap' track at California State University. But the victory was born in Brisbane, Grafton, Sydney, Adelaide, Launceston, Canberra, Zurich, a West German hospital, Czechoslovakia, and in the cycling town of Wangaratta — home to a boy named Dean Woods. Like most children of the 70s, Dean rode his first bike to school and to roam everywhere.
