Solutions

1:B - O’Driscoll lasted just 41 seconds of the first Test after he was spear tackled by Keven Mealamu and Tana Umaga. He dislocated his right shoulder and had to watch as his team-mates lost the series 3-0. , 2:D - Although All Blacks had their revenge a fortnight later, when they went to Dublin and beat Ireland 21-9., 3:C - South Africa beat them 32-29 in Hamilton., 4:D - Brooks Koepka, Sergio García, Jimmy Walker, Henrik Stenson, Dustin Johnson, Danny Willett and Jason Day., 5:D - "It's not an ideal situation," said Margate manager Steve Watt with a degree of magnanimity. "I'd have appreciated a call to say he would be going on the show and potentially missing preseason. It's laughable. He's a young, good-looking lad and he's going to go in and have a bit of fun I'd imagine. As along as it doesn't affect anything down in Margate, then I won't have a problem with it." , 6:B - And they are favourites to win it again this year., 7:B - Kean's father said: "Juventus offered a contract of €700,000-a-year, which was fine, but the problem is they had also promised me some tractors for my agricultural business in the Ivory Coast, but now they say there is no budget for them. I've got several hectares of land I would like to cultivate with rice and corn. I asked for this agricultural machinery and they told me there wouldn't be any problems, but now things have changed.", 8:A - Zaman scored 114 in the final. Joe Root's 133 against Bangladesh was the biggest knock of the tournament., 9:A - Shanghai SIPG pay him £20,800,000 a year so he's good for it., 10:C - What a guy.
