Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 20:47:41 GMT

NANTES, France (AP) — Injuries to Taulupe Faletau and Gareth Anscombe marred a flat performance by Wales that was still good enough to account for Georgia 41-19 at the Rugby World Cup on Saturday.Wales needed only a point to win Pool C and secured it with a fourth try in the 67th minute that ended a Georgia comeback from 24-7 down to 24-19.The bonus-point win gave Wales 19 points out of a possible 20 in pool play and secured a quarterfinal next Saturday in Marseille against Argentina or Japan, who meet on Sunday.No. 8 Faletau and flyhalf Anscombe will worry Wales now, though. Faletau, who has started every match, walked off late clutching his wrist. Anscombe was due to start but tweaked his groin while kicking in the warmup and withdrew.Sam Costelow replaced Anscombe and played well. But, pointedly, his backup Dan Biggar was the only reserve not used. Biggar was resting an injured pectoral muscle suffered against Australia two weeks ago, until pressed onto the bench after Anscombe w...

Juventus can also trim the gap when it hosts Torino later in a derby match.Bologna, which hasn’t lost since the opening day of the season, remained seven points below Inter.Inter coach Simone Inzaghi had opted not to rotate his squad following Tuesday’s 1-0 win over Benfica in the Champions League.Inter took the lead in the 11th minute when Acerbi headed in a Hakan Çalhanoğlu corner at the near post.

Braves add RHP Daysbel Hernández to NLDS roster, Phillies go with RHP Michael Lorenzen

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 20:47:41 GMT

ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Braves made a couple of surprising roster moves for the NL Division Series, adding hard-throwing reliever Daysbel Hernández and top prospect AJ Smith- Shawver ahead of Game 1 Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies. The Braves decided not to use Kyle Wright, a 21-game winner a year ago who was plagued by injuries this season. They also passed on 40-year-old reliever Jesse Chavez, who missed a good chunk of the season with a leg injury but posted a 1.56 ERA in 36 appearances.Philadelphia made only one change from the 26-man roster it used for a two-game sweep of the Miami Marlins in the wild-card round. Right-hander Michael Lorenzen (9-9, 4.18 ERA) replaced infielder Weston Wilson to give the Phillies a 13th pitcher. The addition of Hernández was the biggest shocker for the Braves. The 27-year-old Cuban reliever has made only four big league appearances, allowing three runs on six hits and three walks in 3 2/3 innings. But he was highly effective on a ra...
