You just don't get the experience of sport unfolding in the same way when watching highlights, especially nowadays where it is virtually impossible to avoid the score.

Duffy, 40, had been in charge since November 2018 and his final game was a 40-16 defeat at Hull KR on Sunday. Leigh replaced Toronto Wolfpack in the competition in December but are bottom of the table, having lost all their league matches this season.

Sharks, Stormers, Lions and Bulls will play alongside the 12 existing sides from Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales in a 16-team league. There will be one division, with end of season play-offs. "We are taking the league to new heights," said URC chief executive Martin Anayi. "Forming the United Rugby Championship will begin to reshape the club rugby world." The South African sides will also be eligible to qualify for European competitions from 2022-23. The four former Super Rugby sides have replaced fellow South African outfits Cheetahs and Southern Kings in the tournament.

It's still will be the return of the Mack 4eva Joined: 1 February 2011 Posts: 53,781 User: 12,915	St Helens booked a Super League Grand Final date with Catalans Dragons after easing past Leeds Rhinos. Regan Grace gave the reigning champions an early lead, which James Roby extended before Richie Myler got Leeds on the board just before half-time. Tries from Mark Percival and Kevin Naiqama extended Saints' lead to 24-4. Luke Briscoe gave Leeds hope but Percival and Grace both crossed again to secure Saints' place in a third successive Grand Final on 9 October. After beating Wigan in Hull to win last season's showpiece, St Helens will now return to Old Trafford - the scene of their Grand Final victory over Salford in 2019 - to face the League Leaders' Shield winners a week on Saturday.

Wane led Wigan to three Super League titles, a Challenge Cup and World Club Challenge triumph before his 2018 exit. He has had just one game with England because of Covid, a postponed World Cup and a cancelled Australia Test series.
