Does he ever shut up?
Sacked Australia full-back Israel Folau says "the devil" is trying to influence the debate over transgender rights. Folau, 30, is taking legal action after having his Rugby Australia contract terminated over a social media post saying "hell awaits" gay people. In a church sermon on Sunday, he again criticised homosexuality. Folau also said "kids in primary school" were being allowed to "change their gender" because the government was taking away input from parents. |

Leicester Tigers has put itself up for sale and is seeking a price of about £60m.
The move follows private equity firm CVC's investment in the sport in December, which the club says has led to several approaches from new investors. |

Joe Marler has come out of international retirement and been named in England's World Cup training squad.
The 29-year-old Harlequins prop retired from England duty in September 2018 having won 59 caps. But he has reversed that decision and is included in a 35-man training squad for this year's tournament in Japan. |

Great Britain will play in both the men's and women's Olympic Sevens in Tokyo next year after England won their qualifying tournaments.
England were nominated as the chosen home nation to represent GB in the qualification events, and the women's team beat France to reach the final. They then saw off hosts Russia 19-0 in Kazan to win the tournament. In the men's event in Colomiers, England also faced the hosts in the final, beating France 31-7. |

Billy Vunipola says he is determined not to disrupt England's World Cup preparations and regrets the impact on his Saracens team-mates after defending Israel Folau's anti-gay comments.
In April, Vunipola, 26, was warned by the Rugby Football Union for his support of Australian Folau's post which said "hell awaits" gay people. |

Danny Cipriani has been left out of England's latest training camp in Treviso, Italy.
The Gloucester fly-half was named in the official World Cup training squad earlier this month. But the Premiership player of the year is not among a 38-man group travelling to Italy on Monday for a 12-day camp. "We have left some good players doing work at their clubs and they must be ready if called up," said head coach Eddie Jones. |
