MUNSTER MOVED A step closer to securing a home semi-final in the Guinness Pro12 last night thanks to an unexpected slip-up by the Ospreys in Italy.

The Welsh side left the Stadio Monigo empty-handed after suffering a 13-5 defeat to Benetton Treviso, with an 18th-minute try from Alberto Sgarbi, five points from the boot of Tito Tebaldi and three from Ian McKinley cancelling out a try from Keelan Giles on the stroke of half-time, which Sam Davies failed to convert.

Having recorded a 64-10 victory over Treviso in Swansea earlier in the season, Steve Tandy’s side would have been confident of taking another five-point haul last night, which would have sent them back into second place ahead of Munster, who were also in Italy yesterday to seal a bonus-point triumph over Zebre.

However, with four rounds of fixtures still to be played, Munster are now four points clear of the third-placed Ospreys. Ulster, who beat the Dragons on Friday, occupy the fourth and final play-off spot with a three-point gap back to the Scarlets in fifth.

Leinster, who face the Ospreys next, have a two-point lead at the summit following their 22-21 defeat of Cardiff Blues yesterday.

PETER O’MAHONY HAS signed a new year two-year contract with the IRFU, keeping him at Munster until the end of the 2022/23 season.

The 31-year-old has remained a key figure in the Ireland team since Andy Farrell took over from Joe Schmidt after the 2019 World Cup and came into the current Six Nations campaign in superb form.

The flanker is currently serving a three-match suspension following his red card in the opening round defeat to Wales in Cardiff.

O’Mahony made his Ireland debut in the 2012 Six Nations against Italy and has amassed 74 caps to date, leading his country as captain on eight occasions.

The Cork native was also a British and Irish Lions tourist in 2017, captaining the team in the opening Test against New Zealand.

He has represented Munster on 141 times, and was just 24 when he was named captain of the province in 2013.

“It’s a huge privilege to sign on with the province and country I’ve grown up in and dreamed of playing for,” O’Mahony said.

“It’s been something I’ve been very open about saying from day one and its very pleasing to be able to continue the journey for two more years.

“There’s a huge amount of responsibility that comes with representing both teams and I understand how much pressure there is to deliver silverware, however, I am incredibly enthusiastic on the position and competitiveness of both Munster and Ireland and I look forward to hopefully contributing to both, to succeed in delivering that success on the pitch.”

IRFU Performance Director David Nucifora added: “Peter has played a leadership role in Munster from an early age and is one of the senior leaders in the national squad.

“He is a competitor and passionate about playing for both Ireland and Munster.”

O’Mahony is the third centrally contracted player to agree to an extension recently, with Iain Henderson and Johnny Sexton also putting pen to paper on new deals.

Former WWE Universal champion Roman Reigns is featured in the latest trailer of Hobbs & Shaw, the upcoming movie that will reunite Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham in the newest Fast & Furious spinoff.
Reigns and Johnson, real-life cousins, will play on-screen cousins when Hobbs and Shaw decide to go “home” for their final battle with the big arch enemy in the movie played by Idris Elba. Reigns is shown in multiple scenes fighting alongside Johnson, scenes that were filmed while he was out of WWE taking care of leukemia.
The new over-the-top trailer was met with some criticism by fans because it’s three-and-a-half minutes long and gives out a lot of the plot of the movie. It features crazy stunts and some great movie-making magic.Click Here: cheap puma women shoes

Despite missing his first WrestleMania in 19 years, The Undertaker still made his presence felt as he made a surprise appearance on Monday Night Raw to interrupt another Elias performance.
The segment was part of the third hour, designed to counter the heavy competition of the NCAA game. As Elias was in the ring trying his hand in rapping, he said the next person to interrupt him would be a “dead man.”
And right on cue, GONG! “Oh my God,” said Renee Young. “Can Elias see the future? This can’t be happening,” added Graves. But it did happen, and The Undertaker came out to a massive pop from the Brooklyn crowd.
Showing off his slimmer body, The Undertaker got in the ring and stared at Elias. Elias tried slowly exiting the ring but then changed his mind and stepped back in the ring, removed his robe, and was ready to fight.
As the crowd chanted “Holy sh!t,” Taker gave Elias the WTF look and moved closer to Elias as Elias did the same. “Taker’s gonna kill you,” the fans chanted. Elias then turned around to leave but ran back straight into a big boot. The Undertaker removed his jacket, and delivered a Tombstone piledriver to Elias as the fans counted “1, 2, 3!”
It was a very bad weekend for Elias as he got the proverbial golden shovel from both John Cena and The Undertaker two nights in a row.Click Here: Alfa Romeo Racing Suit

– Natalya is a huge fan of Naomi and wants to see her get another lengthy WWE title run. Natalya spoke with ESPN 1530’s No Holds Barred show (per Fightful) and said she thinks Naomi is underrated and deserves another push.
“One of the most underrated performers that we have, somebody’s that is so talented that I just… I would love to see her get a really great shot, and have an incredible title run is Naomi,” Natalya said. “I watch her, and she’s just so gifted. She can do things that no other girls can do. Last year she did a springboard off the ropes onto a ladder like it was nothing. Even when she had the title, and I beat her at SummerSlam in 2017 for title… prior to me beating her, she didn’t have a really memorable title run. Not that wrestling Lana is bad by any means, but I only remember her wrestling Lana. She had like a serious of matches with Lana, and then she and I wrestled at Summerslam.”

As previously reported, it’s long been noted that Vince McMahon hates the idea of World Wrestling Entertainment Championship titles being referred to as “belts.” As a result, referring to titles as “belts” in WWE has apparently been among the promotion’s forbidden terms in recent years, including the words “wrestling” and “wrestlers,” even though the letters W-W-E stands for “World Wrestling Entertainment.” It appears that stance has now changed in the company, at least regarding to using the term “belts.” During today’s edition of The Wrestling Observer Radio, it was noted the ban in WWE on the word “belts” was lifted, since Becky Lynch is now calling herself “Becky 2 Belts.”
Additionally, WWE is also using the term for Becky Lynch for promotion and advertising purposes. According to Dave Meltzer, McMahon apparently changed his mind about the term, but he added that McMahon could easily change his mind again.
It was reported last March that city officials were sent a list of “do’s and don’ts” for the WrestleMania 36 announcement press conference. The list included that officials should not call the WWE Championship or titles with the words “belt” or straps. It was also stated that officials should refer to the wrestlers as WWE Superstars and not “professional wrestlers.”Click Here: newcastle knights jersey

MLW announced the signing of Marshall & Ross Von Erich. The full press release can be found below.
NEW YORK — Ross and Marshall Von Erich have joined Major League Wrestling, signing a multi-year deal with the promotion this week. The sons of Kevin Von Erich have emerged as accomplished wrestlers, competing around the world including for Pro Wrestling NOAH in Japan, Israel, Australia, the United Kingdom as well as in their home state of Texas.
League officials can confirm that the 3rd generation grapplers will make their MLW debut June 1st in Milwaukee at FURY ROAD. (buy tickets)
Earlier today, Sports Illustrated broke the news with a report, featuring exclusive comments from the Von Erichs and MLW CEO Court Bauer. (read article)
“Ross and Marshall are not only world-class athletes but world-class people,” said MLW CEO Court Bauer. “I look forward to seeing their journey as they write a new chapter and usher in the future for their family and for pro wrestling fans around the world.”
About Ross and Marshall Von Erich:
Born in Denton County, Texas and now fighting out of Kauai, Hawaii, Ross and Marshall Von Erich are premier professional wrestlers. Dangerous competitors both in singles competition as well as a franchise tag team unit, the brothers have aspirations of both singles and tag team gold.
The massive 6’4” 250-pound Marshall Von Erich loves three things: surfing, fishing and fighting. Without a doubt, the younger and physically bigger brother is a certified Hawaiian hoss. Combining explosive power with speed and agility, very few if any can match the charismatic grappler’s fusion of styles, especially at his size.
A strategist inside the ring, Ross wastes no movement, systematically focusing on his opponents’ weaknesses until they are too tired to endure his blitzing offense. Featuring fast and furious brawling, cutting-edge grappling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsui mat work, his arsenal also includes uncanny aerial attacks.
Proud and serious, Ross Von Erich mixes technical wrestling, brawling, MMA and aerial attacks to make for a customized hybrid wrestling style.
Grappling and learning new techniques on the beaches of Kauai from their father, Kevin Von Erich, these Texas born bad asses are a force to reckon with.
Preferring to fight barefoot, like his father, Marshall is a 3rdgeneration grappler. Similar to his father, Marshall also possesses one of the best dropkicks in the sport, attaining a vertical leap that would put most athletes to shame. Shocking fans and devastating opponents with his signature moonsault, Marshall is exceptional in every way.
A top-level wrestler in both singles and tag team competition, Ross and Marshall fight for his family’s name and their future.
When not wrestling, the brothers can be found spending time with his family on their ranch in Hawaii, enjoying surfing, spear fishing and innovating new high flying moves off of waterfalls.
Growing up in Denton County (just outside Dallas), Marshall and Ross would tussle all over the family’s Texas ranch with hopes of one day wrestling in front of large crowds around the world. However, their legendary father, Kevin Von Erich, didn’t want his sons to grow up too fast. So much so he hid the weights in the barn at their Denton County farm and encouraged the boys to enjoy life. Wrestling would come soon enough if it was meant to be.
Both impressive athletes from an early age, the brothers exceed in all sports, Ross in football and Marshall at discus throwing.
In 2007, the entire Von Erich clan moved to Kauai, Hawaii, the state’s northernmost island where the brothers Ross and Marshall would begin their journey to become pro wrestlers.
Training under their father’s watchful eye on his Hawaiian farm, the brothers quickly took to professional wrestling. This would lead Ross and Marshall on a journey around the world to train and learn from some of the sport’s best, including Harley Race.
The brothers’ time training with Race in Missouri was invaluable. The brothers not only learned key fundamentals but world class technical and brawling skills from the hall of famer, which would serve them well in the years to come.
From Race’s camp in Missouri, Ross and Marshall would go on an excursion to Japan where they would live for the better part of two years in the Pro Wrestling NOAH dojo.
Under the tutelage of Naomichi Marufuji, the Von Erichs mastered the art of puroresu(Japanese wrestling). On and off for two years, Ross and Marshall would train and compete in one of Japan’s most competitive and prestigious wrestling circuits both in singles and tag team competition.
Competing around the world, including Israel, England, Australia as well as stateside in their home state of Texas, the rise of the 3rdgeneration of Von Erichs heralded a new era for the family. One of triumph, tranquility and hope. Along the way, they even collected championship gold in Texas and abroad.
In 2019, Ross crossed over into film, appearing in Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s Hobbs and Shaw action movie. The brothers were also spotlighted in VICE’s Dark Side of The Ringseries, representing a new hope for a new chapter in the family’s fabled story in the sport.
Believing in the mantra to always look forward, never backward, Ross and Marshall have embraced their destiny: the fight for their family’s name and their future.Click Here: cavan gaa jerseys
