Springboks power vs. Scotland pace? The defending champ’s Rugby World Cup opener may be more nuanced

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:13:00 GMT

The Springboks say they’re about more than just a brutal power game at this Rugby World Cup.Loading their bench with seven forwards in an unprecedented move in their last preparation game hardly helped change the reputation of the cup holders, who open their title defense against Scotland on Sunday in Marseille.But there are signs if you look beyond the hulking forward pack that South Africa’s five-year plan, aimed at building the deepest squad it has ever had, involves a more expansive outlook from the coaching duo of Rassie Erasmus and Jacques Nienaber.South Africa brought four try-scoring wingers to this World Cup when it was expected to have to sacrifice at least one of them for flyhalf backup. Manie Libbok, the only specialist 10 in the squad, plays more on intuition than structure, unlike any Springboks playmaker in recent memory.It raises the possibility of the Boks moving more regularly away from just the set-piece dominance and highly repetitive tactical kicking that delive...

La Fiscalía acusó formalmente este viernes a Luis Rubiales, presidente suspendido de la Federación Española de Fútbol (RFEF), a quien pide investigar por los delitos de agresión sexual y coacciones en relación al beso que dio a la jugadora Jenni Hermoso tras la final del mundial en Sídney.Rubiales besó a Jenni Hermoso en los labios durante la ceremonia de entrega de medallas luego de que España derrotó a Inglaterra en la final de la Copa del Mundo el pasado 20 de agosto.El Ministerio Público considera que esta actuación de Rubiales no fue consentida y por tanto puede ser constitutiva de un delito de agresión sexual y de otro de coacciones por la presión que sufrió Jenni Hermoso y su entorno tras el episodio, de modo que solicita a la Audiencia que abra una causa contra el directivo.Ahora el juzgado en el que recaiga la querella debe decidir si abre o no procedimiento penal contra él. De ser hallado culpable, se expone a una multa o hasta a una condena de 4 años de cárcel. ...

Fewer apply for home loans as borrowing costs, rising prices shut out prospective homebuyers

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:13:00 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — U.S. home loan applications are the lowest in decades as evidence mount that rising mortgage rates and home prices are shutting out many aspiring homeowners.An index that tracks mortgage application volume shows applications for loans to buy a home fell last week to the lowest level in 28 years, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. The MBA’s home loan application index shows that home purchase loans fell 2.1% last week from the prior week to a seasonally adjusted reading of 141.9. That’s down about 28% from a year earlier and represents the lowest level for the index since April 1995. “Both purchase and refinance applications fell, with the purchase index hitting a 28-year low, as prospective buyers remain on the sidelines due to low housing inventory and elevated mortgage rates,” said Joel Kan, the MBA’s deputy chief economist.Mortgage rates have been climbing in recent weeks, echoing a steady rise in the 10-year Treasury yield, which ...
