It’s not my problem. I’ve just got to focus on my role here and not focus my energy on that.“It does hurt, but it is what it is. In rugby union: Emoni Narawa has been quite brilliant for the Chiefs in Super Rugby Pacific so far this season. And the Fullback come Wing stamped his mark against the Blues last Saturday, scoring a double in another outstanding performance.With Sevu Reece out for the year, Narawa is an early “Johhny on the spot” ABs bolter.In Boxing: WWE has been sold and will now form a combat-sports beast with the UFC under its parent company, Endeavor Group.The deal, which was confirmed late last night, sees WWE and UFC join together in a new publicly traded combat sports and entertainment company, with WWE valued at US$9.3Billion after its stock finished trading on Friday at US$91.26 per share, while the UFC is valued at US$12.1B.In SportsBiz: Every US College Basketball Women’s Final Four takes place in an NBA and/or WNBA arena.
