Scott Boland is excited at the chance to play a key role in Friday’s Ashes series opener against England in Perth. With Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood out injured, the 36-year-old will be a key part of the Aussie pace attack.

Chad Warner and Nick Daicos are the latest AFL stars to commit to the State of Origin revival. Warner will play for his Swans coach Dean Cox’s West Australian team, with Daicos to play for Victoria. The game is at Optus Stadium in February.

And despite a dismal run of form, Rugby Australia has ruled out fast-tracking the departure of outgoing head coach Joe Schmidt. RA boss Phil Waugh says Schmidt will remain in charge until July next year as planned, before handing the reins to Reds coach Les Kiss.

Alex Carey is confident Aussie debutant Brendan Doggett can thrive at Test level, in Friday’s Ashes opener against England in Perth. With Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood out injured, 31 year-old Doggett will slot into the Aussie pace attack.

ARL Commission boss Peter V’Landys has doubled down on threats to ban players from the NRL for 10 years, if they defect to rebel rugby series R360. Zac Lomax is the latest player to quit the NRL, the now former Eels star is expected to sign with the rebel rugby series. 

J Sinner finished the tennis season with back-to-back at the ATP Finals titles. The Italian defeated his great rival Carlos Alcaraz in straight-sets, 7-6 , 7-5. But 2025 belonged to Alcaraz - the Spaniard won 4 of the 6 finals the pair contested, and finished with the year with the world number 1 ranking.
