Premiership Rugby chief executive Simon Massie-Taylor insists a loss of star power and a weaker English challenge in Europe are a necessary price to pay to make the league more sustainable. Leicester Tigers and Sale Sharks are the Premiership’s remaining representatives in the Champions Cup and both are listed as underdogs for their respective quarter-finals against Leinster and Racing 92 this weekend. English clubs have won four of the past six tournaments but with the salary cap coming down to £5 million this season they now figure among the poorer relations in Europe. A leading agent told Telegraph Sport that even Italian outfit Treviso possess a bigger playing budget than the Premiership’s top spenders. With clubs being forced to make substantial savings with the cap coming down by £1.4m , a host of big names including Taulupe Faletau, Faf de Klerk and Lood de Jager are leaving the Premiership this summer. However, with Premiership clubs collectively losing an estimated … [Read more...] about Exclusive: Premiership chief admits salary cap could damage English hopes in Europe

The same source of the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order sequel’s name has also shared its release window of early 2023. Fans only recently learned what the sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order will actually be called and now the same source has casually mentioned its release window. While nothing has been confirmed by EA or developer Respawn yet about the game’s name or release date, it’s been said that it will release within the first quarter of 2023.

The Friday letters page looks forward to new game announcements from Capcom, as one reader is worried about the 2022 summer games drought. To join in with the discussions yourself email [email protected] The shadow of Covid delay of Starfield was a bit of a bummer. I don’t think anyone was too surprised given how little they’ve show of it but it’s still a shame as it’s a new IP and just about the only exciting thing scheduled for Christmas at the moment. Now things are looking bleak and with God Of War Ragnarök being the only major title left that isn’t a yearly sequel I’m wondering… how long until that gets delayed too? I know they recently said that it wasn’t delayed , but that wasn’t Sony it was just a random developer. And besides it wasn’t long ago that Microsoft was counting down 200 days till Starfield. I’m not blaming anyone here, I would much rather a game be delayed than launch as a buggy mess, but I think it underlines how long the pandemic … [Read more...] about Games Inbox: God Of War Ragnarök delay fears, Skull & Bones doubts, and Alan Wake 2 demo

In March 2019 , the retired police detective Mike Crowley met me in the lobby of a hotel near the Miami Dolphins’ stadium. Crowley, a 71-year-old Vietnam vet, was wearing shorts, a white undershirt, and a camouflage baseball hat that said MARINE in block caps. Over the course of three hours, he sipped a single rum and Coke. Four years earlier, Crowley said, he’d noticed a pattern in a string of jewelry-store robberies happening all over Florida: The same means of entry had been used every time. As he spoke, I eyed a large stack of paperwork teetering on the table in front of us, including thick folders labeled DRILL TEAM in black marker. At first, Crowley had had multiple suspects for these crimes. He walked me through a laundry list of itinerant safecrackers who had passed through Florida in recent years, pulling off heists in various cities throughout the state. Florida, seen through Crowley’s eyes, is a migratory stopover for the most elite burglars and safe teams. If you … [Read more...] about The Rise and Fall of an All-Star Crew of Jewel Thieves

Chelsea responded to their humbling Premier League defeat against Brentford and Champions League setback against Real Madrid by blowing Southampton out of the water with a first half flurry. Marcos Alonso fired Chelsea in front early on, and it was 3-0 inside 22 minutes as Mason Mount and Timo Werner found the net. Kai Havertz made it four just after the half-hour mark, with the home side all at sea defensively. Southampton attempted to make some changes to gain a foothold in the game, but with no success.
