Happy Girimitiya Day in Fiji!
 
Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian, in the middle of the blue continent.
                                                                                         
In rugby union: All of a sudden, Mick Byrne and his Fijian Drua stars have taken a dive after two losses in a row on the road.
 
They went from their best game of the year last weekend against the Brumbies to not even turning up in Perth on Saturday.
 
Where to now boys – your destiny is in your own hands.
 
In rugby league: The Panthers have confirmed that superstar Nathan Cleary will miss eight weeks with a hamstring tear.

Cleary suffered the injury in the final minutes of the first half at BlueBet Stadium on Friday night.
The eight-week recovery puts Cleary in line to return for their clash with the Broncos on Friday 05 July, before the NRL pauses for the third and final State of Origin clash.

In Football: Manchester City closed in on a fourth consecutive Premier League title after thrashing Fulham 4-0 on Saturday.

City were two points clear at the top of the table until second-placed Arsenal beat Man U one nil at Old Trafford earlier today.

In SportsBiz: The Kentucky Derby 2024 was a massive hit: A Churchill Downs attendance of 156,710 people up 4.2% from a year ago and the highest total since 2018.
 
An average audience of 16.7 million on NBC Sports platforms, peaking at 20.1m, the most ever for an NBC Sports presentation of the race.
 
And finally in combat sports: Vasiliy Lomachenko outclassed George Kambosos Jr. on his way to the IBF World Lightweight title after a clinical 11th-round finish in the main event at the RAC Arena in Perth, Australia.

Earlier, Faiga ‘Django’ Opelu lost via TKO in Round 10 to Joe Goodall.
