Summary

So a dramatic end to Sportwatch! (who needs AFL, right guys?) Australia start their Basketball World Cup campaign with a solid 16-point Group H win, the final scoreline masking a game that was very much in contention, especially after a big third-quarter shock from the world No 23 side, Canada.

Before that, a dramatic day in the NRL as well, with Aidan Sezer sinking three field goals to break Cronulla hearts in extra-time. The Raiders one-point win enough for them to leapfrog Manly into the top four, while it leaves the Sharks looking nervously over their shoulders. Wests thumping win over the Dragons now sets up a huge final round winner-takes-all Cronulla-Wests Tigers clash. It will be a cracker.

In the Super Netball, the Vixens booked a preliminary final date with the Swifts after an imposing Melbourne derby win over the Magpies, and of course there was all the drama from the US Open overnight, including the bundling out of Nick Kyrgios.

Thanks as always for your company. And that’s Sportwatch!

Updated

Matthew Dellavedova with 24 points, Chris Goulding with 16 and Patty Mills with 15, but there wasn’t a bad player in Boomers green & gold, with Joe Ingles his usual selfless self, with a raft of important assists and Andrew Bogut a huge presence in defence.

They’ll be relieved on the team bus tonight. Cobwebs blown out - no apparent injury concerns, and they’re 1/1 unscathed, Australia.

Basketball: Australia 108-92 Canada

Phew. You’d look at the score and think it was comfortable for the Boomers, but ask a nervous fan twenty minutes ago and it was anything but. Canada came out and obliterated the Boomers across the opening ten minutes of that second half, but in the end it was the old heads that calmed the nerves. Australia with two many game winners - no surprise given the NBA big-game experience of championship winners like Bogut, Dellavedova.

It’s an important first Group H win for the Boomers who face Senegal in two days time before the big showdown with Lithuania on 5 September.

Nerves? What nerves - it’s an opening day win, and Australia roll on!

Updated

Final quarter - 9’ gone: In a group that could be tight, points difference may yet play a vital role, and this is blowing out for the Canadians. It’s a harsh scoreline, especially considering how well they played in that epic 37-point third quarter. It’s been a final quarter mauling from the Boomers though - 28-6 the scoring run; a huge statement.

Final quarter - 7’ gone: Another Canadian time out as Australia pull 16 points clear. Dellavedova the point leader with 21, but there are five Australians with 10+ points. Ingles the conductor though, with a remarkable 9 score assists.

Meanwhile, they look dead on their feet, Canada. It was a huge third quarter effort, and maybe it’s cost them.

Final quarter - 6’ gone: Pangos is back on and he’s weaving - and Bogut fouls the Canadian playmaker. Delly and Ingles miss consecutive threes and there’s just the slightest sniff of a chance for Canada, but they miss their chance, and Ingles feed Kay for an easy layup. Mills misses a three - hasn’t been the impact you’d expect from Patty today, perhaps - and both side squander chances. Ten the difference.

Final quarter - 4’ gone: It’s another time out for Canada. Where did their lead go?? It’s a 16-2 start from the Boomers in the final quarter. Ooph. That’s incredible. Another 3-pointer from Delly, Bogut chimes in with two more. Cometh the hour, cometh the old heads.

Final quarter - 4’ gone: Delly with another three, but it’s Joe Ingles who’s starting to dictate the play out there. Forget Karl Marx, we’ve got Ingles, and Australia break out to an eight-point-lead. Boom Boom Boomers!

Final quarter - 3’ gone: Chris Goulding with a crucial start to the quarter, Australia first on the board. Klassen with an open 3-point attempt for Canada but he misses badly, and Aron Baynes heads up the other end and throws down a huge dunk! It’s an 8-0 unanswered streak for the Boomers - just what the (Australian basketball) doctor ordered!

Some soothing music for nervous Boomers fans - as brother Phillip and Thomas Scrub are running wild for Canada. Hand me my TLC.

We don’t want no Scrubs.

Three-quarter-time: Australia 76-77 Canada

A great turnover from Dellavedova who goes to the basket, and draws the foul in the process. A move right from the “experience” playbook. Ingles almost pulls off a huge intercept, but Canada continue and score. Kay then misses with the two, and the North Americans go to the line after a foul. Delly with a huge three, but Thomas Scrub hits straight back!

An incredible 37-point quarter for Canada. We. Have. A. Game. On.

3rd quarter - 8’ gone: Goulding with a big 3-pointer, before Mills almost landed a rapid-fire second, the ball rolls agonisingly around the ring before falling out! He goes to the stripe anyway for a foul and lands them. And we’re within a point here again.

3rd quarter - 6’ gone: This is actual madness! Canada have gone on an incredible 25-7 run, and Australia have gone to another time out.

They’ve picked up 22 points from turnovers, the North Americans. The Boomers are literally throwing this game away! What can coach Lemanis urge from his shufflers.

3rd quarter - 4’ gone: Deary me - we’re scores locked! And now Canada are ahead by 3! It’s a huge 5-pt run after an “unsportsmanlike foul”. And it’s Kevin Pangos running the show for the North Americans, who lands a big 3-pointer from the pocket.

What was in that half-time team talk?! Australia need their experienced players to really stand up here; this has been a horrible few minutes for the Boomers.

3rd quarter - 2’ gone: Okay, we’re back live - and it’s a blistering start to the second half for the world No 23 side: who race to a 9-0 start!

Back-to-back turnovers allows the North Americans to bag consecutive baskets, before a huge 3-pointer prompts an Australia time out. Two points the margin - this has got very lively, very quickly.

Some background info on the Basketball World Cup (if that’s flown under your radar). There’s a lot of hype about Australia being a real potential champion, and they did of course roll Team USA in a recent friendly downunder, but both USA and Australia do go to the World Cup with diminished rosters (most notably no Ben Simmons or Thon Maker, with Dante Exum also out through injury).

Despite that they’re only ranked 11th in the world, Australia. A reflection perhaps more on the limited amount of international basketball the Boomers are playing.

32 teams in 8 groups of four with top two advancing - a loss isn’t curtains therefore, but with Lithuania also in the group Australia would be keen to start their Group H campaign with a win.

Updated

Basketball - half-time: Australia 52-40 Canada

It was threatening to blow open just before the major break, but they’ve done well to nibble back into the deficit, have Canada. A huge pressure 3-pointer before an offensive foul from Joe Ingles allowed the North Americans to grab a few more in a great final minute.

Australia are shooting well (66% from the field) and working the boards brilliantly - leading the rebounds 20-10 - but there’s still been plenty of needless turnovers from the Boomers.

Not a foregone conclusion here, but Canada will need to lift to cause a boilover.

NRL: St George 14-42 Wests Tigers

They’ve finished like a team that knows their season has been salvaged, Wests! A meek capitulation from the Dragons who have endured another season to forget. But we’re set for a cracking round 25 winner-takes-all clash between the Tigers and the Sharks. Get your tickets quick, because that one’s going to sell out like hotcakes.

Too much class, too much desire. A great showing from the Tigers.

Basketball - second quarter: It’s a bright start for Canada, as they cut the deficit straight back to five. But then a clean 3-pointer from Dellavedova gets the Boomers flying again. It’s been a high-scoring match so far - both offences making the most of their opportunities, but the foul count continues to rise for the North Americans. Their coach is sent to the bench for a technical - some frustration with the calls, but the margin continues to hover around the 10-point mark.

NRL - 76 min: Try! Dragons 14-36 Tigers (Brooks)

It’s party time - the Tigers know that they’re alive, and it’s another long-ranger! How’s the pace from Brooks - no catching him from there! Get ready, Sharks. We’re coming for your 8th spot!

Basketball - quarter-time: Australia 29-20 Canada

A terrific end to the quarter for Australia. They’d shuffled their pack, Canada after that stoppage and cut the lead back to just a couple. But indiscipline sent Australia to the stripe before Joe Ingles’ match awareness ran down the quarter clock perfectly and Chris Goulding fired home a perfect 3-pointer right on the buzzer. Big morale boost!

NRL - 69 min: Try! Dragons 14-30 Tigers (Marshall)

And if anyone deserved a try today, who else - it’s the evergreen Benji Marshall! 34-years-young and still running the show. He gets the head up, stares at the line and backs himself. And don’t his teammates love that! Surely that’s the game.

Basketball: World Cup underway!

As exciting as the NRL is, we have of course just bounced off in the first game of the Basketball World Cup, where it’s Australia v Canada.

We’re seven minutes in and they’ve called for the first time out of the game, Canada as they trail by 15-9. The big news for Bogut-injury-watchers. The big man has been cleared of that suspected ankle issue and is playing; and playing well.

Here’s the five that started the game for Australia, FYI:

Updated

61 min: No try! Tom Mikaele burrows over the line, and big hit and spin under attention from Graham and Frizzell, but he doesn’t ground! Desperate defence from the Origin man, Frizzell, who prevents the clean grounding. They almost thought they’d closed it then, the Tigers. Still, handy 10 point lead remains.

NRL - 58 min: Try! Dragons 14-24 Tigers (Momirovski)

It was coming, the dam walls were shaking, and it was a terrific ball from Marshall onto the chest of the man of the moment, Momirovski, who still had to get through a pack of defenders. Great feet, great determination and he’s added two more from the boot. 20 points for the game!

57 min: They’re knocking at the door, the Tigers. A big defensive set of six from the Dragons with Marshall and friends probing. They hold out, but as they look to dive on a loose ball there’s a knock on, and Wests get six again! Can they turn pressure to points?

53 min: Ach! Nasty double injury. Zac Lomax is down and there’s huge concern. He’s slipped into a tackle from Thompson who collects his opponent with his knees, and the replay suggests a very hard head knock from Esan Masters in the process. Nothing dirty, just an honest accident as Lomax fell into contact.

Masters also down, not sure what’s wrong. Lomax leaves the field, walking at least. But we won’t see him again, he’s badly concussed.

NRL - 47 min: Try! Dragons 14-18 Tigers (Widdop)

Golly gosh. It’s a harrowing mistake at the back - poor Madge is now sitting on an ants nest again. It’s a straight-forward bomb from Hunt, but the fullback Corey Thompson has had a ‘mare. It’s popped straight off his chest - he’s dropped it cold - and it couldn’t have rolled more favourably for Widdop who scores easily. And converts his try.

NRL - 45 min: Try! Dragons 8-18 Tigers (Momirovski)

My, my! They force the play wide, Widdop looks to pick out his winger, but it’s the flying centre who comes in, reads the play, takes the intercept and sprints 90m to the line! Huge play - could that be the game?

He converts his own try, well done Momirovski - Madge issues a small sigh of relief up in the Tigers’ box.

Updated

NRL - second half! Dragons 8-12 Tigers

We’re back underway, a few minutes in, and it’s a terrific carry from Luciano Leilua. He’s caught high and now the Dragons can set something up with the resulting set of six. What can they muster?

So, in case you’d forgotten (and I’m sure Cronulla/Wests fans absolutely hadn’t) there is of course one round left - and with Panthers missing out yesterday, should the Tigers win today there will be two teams in contention for 8th and final post-season spot: the Sharks, and the Tigers.

And who do they play next week? Each other. Hello, bonus instant-death finals week!

NRL - half-time: Dragons 8-12 Tigers

So they keep their noses ahead, and their finals hopes still hanging by a thread. Will they tighten up, the Tigers? Or will the Dragons roll over? Big forty to come. They’ll be watching nervously in Cronulla, hoping not to cop a double whammy of heartbreaking loss followed by a win to their top-eight rivals.

37 min: Scrum won against the feed! Tell your kids about it. I don’t think I can remember the last time a scrum was meaningful in league. Extraordinary scenes. They don’t make it count, the Dragons. They were only 20-25m out, but the Tigers hold firm. Widdop’s last tackle dash to the blind side was repelled, so they look to close the half in front.

NRL - 30 min: Try! Dragons 8-12 Tigers (Garner)

Eep, and after all that pressure, we’re up the other end with a try to the Tigers. Often the way, no? Brooks with a clever grubber and it’s Garner who wins the footrace, Aitken claiming he was impeded but contact seemed minimal. Momirovski adds the extras.

Updated

28 min: Ooh! So close for James Graham! He looked to have grounded after a terrific kick chase, but it’s just gone dead. Of all the people on the pitch it was the veteran forward - he was just inches away!

No luck for the Dragons, and they’re hit with a 7-tackle turnaround. On such fine margins etc.

Updated

NRL - 25 min: Dragons 8-6 Tigers

Its a penalty, duly dispatched from Widdop. They almost had more, the Dragons but again after a tech-conference it was confirmed that there was no grounding from St George. Remarkable.

Updated

NRL - 20 min: Dragons 6-6 Tigers (Aitken)

Oh my. A bit of an error at the back from the experienced Robert Jennings; he had the chance to ground in goal, but he tried to scoop the ball clear, but only enabled Aitken to steal in and score!

Great hands by Hunt in the build up - that was a rotten pass out of dummy half, but he kept the move flowing. Game on!

Updated

NRL - 15 min: Dragons 0-6 Tigers (Momirovski)

It took about three minutes for the Tigers to breach the Dragons’ line - lets hope heads don’t drop, they are of course on a pretty bad losing streak despite their early season confidence, St George.

They’ve gone very close through Widdop, but the Bunker cast a close eye over proceedings and awarded a 10m scrum. Still, on the attack.

Updated

Hi all! What a frenetic end at Shark Park! A spot in the top four, a place in the top eight - plenty on the line and a heartbreaking end for the Sharks. Not quite a game that stops the nation, but no doubt the PM will be devastated, so effectively?

As JP said, we’ve got live NRL action in the Tigers-Dragons clash so I’ll jump right into this. That late result of course does have a bearing on this one - it means the Tigers’ season remains alive if they can win here. Which I guess is better than liveblogging a dead rubber?

Ok, without further ado it’s time to handover to Richard Parkin. He’ll take you through the Boomers’ opening World Cup fixture against Canada later on, but first it’s over to the SCG where there’s already a try in the Dragons v Tigers clash.

NRL: Cronulla 14-15 Canberra

Finally, finally, finally, from the following set Sezer does kick a golden point. What a game!

Updated

NRL: 88 mins: Sharks 14-14 Raiders - What on earth are Canberra doing? For the second time in a matter of minutes they had a field goal option on a platter but decide to run down the set and then grubber for a try. Again it fails and the match continues. The Raiders are butchering this.

NRL: While the Sharks and Raiders continue to do battle in the Shire, the Tigers and Dragons are underway at the SCG. Plenty could change at the bottom end of the eight over the next hour or so.

NRL: 85 mins: Sharks 14-14 Raiders - We go to a second period of golden point with neither side able to score in the first five-minute period. Canberra were best placed but went all-or-nothing for a try in the left corner instead of establishing a solid base from which to drop a goal after consecutive offloads saw then within sight of points after four tackles.

NRL: FT: Sharks 14-14 Raiders - Neither side could convert on their final possessions. The Raiders came closest, stripping the Sharks just inside their own half with seconds left on the clock but the desperate long range field goal fell well short. To golden point we go.

NRL: 78 mins: Sharks 14-14 Raiders - Now Sezer has a brace of drop goals and we’re back level with a set each remaining in normal time.

NRL: 77 mins: Sharks 14-13 Raiders - And from the second of those sets Townsend kicks his second field goal to put the home side back in front.

Updated

NRL: 76 mins: Sharks 13-13 Raiders - We’re still heading to golden point but it’s all Sharks in these closing stages. The Raiders have butchered their last couple of sets, handing Cronulla consecutive seven tackle drives.

NRL: 70 mins: Sharks 13-13 Raiders - Can the Sharks hit back? Yes, says Chad Townsend, dropping a goal of his own to level the scores with ten minutes left to play.

Updated

NRL: 67 mins: Sharks 12-13 Raiders - Canberra hit the front with 13 minutes remaining, Aidan Sezer accepting the drop-goal. Can the Sharks hit back?

NRL: 60 mins: Sharks 12-12 Raiders - It’s a game of two halves at Shark Park and the Raiders are right back in it with their second try of the second term.

NRL: 50 mins: Sharks 12-6 Raiders - The visitors are not out of this one just yet.

NRL: 45 mins: Sharks 12-0 Raiders - The second half is underway at Shark Park but the home side are now without Josh Dugan, who failed at HIA. That comes after Shaun Johnson injured himself during the prematch warm-up.

Tennis: Nick Kyrgios has bowed out of the US Open at the third round, falling to Russian Andrey Rublev.

NRL: HT: Sharks 12-0 Raiders - It’s all going according to plan for Paul Gallen on his farewell to Shark Park. Cronulla lead by three tries to nothing at the break with Ronaldo Mulitalo and Jayden Brailey both crossing early on, Mulitalo then diving over for a brace shortly before the siren. It’s been a tight, forward dominated contest with the Raiders unable to pierce a disciplined home defence.

Super Netball: Vixens 62-49 Magpies

The Melbourne Vixens will travel to the NSW Swifts next weekend for the Super Netball preliminary final after demolishing their crosstown rivals the Collingwood Magpies in their minor semi-final.

Stung by their reverse to the Magpies last week the Vixens flew out of the blocks, defending with intent and attacking at speed, blowing their opponents off court. As the game wore on Melbourne oozed confidence while the frustration was evident on the faces of the Collingwood players.

Tegan Philip and Caitlin Thwaites dovetailed superbly in attack, Kate Moloney delivered a captain’s performance at centre, while Emily Mannix shone in defence. For the Magpies Shimona Nelson ended with a game-high 42 goals but the difficulty finding her in the opening exchanges led to the early deficit that could never be clawed back. Nat Medhurst, so dominant last week was peripheral.

Updated

Super Netball: Q4: 10 mins remaining - Vixens 53-38 Magpies - The Magpies are refusing to give up but the Vixens are just too focussed and ultimately too good. The movement of Philip and Thwaites in attack is driving the Magpies defence to distraction.

Updated

NRL: 17 mins gone: Sharks 8-0 Raiders - And it’s turning into a perfect send off for Gallen with Cronulla crossing twice in the opening 20 minutes. At this rate the Sharks are on course to end the round seventh and into the finals.

NRL: The Shark Park patrons are sharing their love for retiring skipper Paul Gallen.

Super Netball: 3QT - Vixens 46-33 Magpies - The Magpies dug deep in the third quarter but they could still barely lay a glove on the dominant Vixens.

Super Netball: Q3: 11 mins remaining - Vixens 39-22 Magpies - The Vixens do not look like dropping their intensity at the start of the second half and it’s showing in the Magpies’ attack which is looking increasingly disjointed.

NRL: We’re underway at Shark Park in the opening NRL contest of the day. Cronulla can all-but guarantee their finals place with a win at home to Canberra but the Raiders will start favourites as they push to finish as high as possible in the top four.

To add to the significance of the occasion, this will be Paul Gallen’s final home fixture for the Sharks.

Super Netball: HT: Vixens 34-19 Magpies - Stunning from the Melbourne Vixens who are surging towards a preliminary final date with the Swifts. They resisted an early second-quarter fightback from the Magpies, stuck to their processes and the longer the period wore on the more the frustration told in their opponents. It would take an extraordinary turnaround from here.

The difference between this week and last? Nat Medhurst dominated seven days ago, ending with 25 feeds. The Vixens have placed her under much closer scrutiny this time around and she has just four to her name to half-time.

Super Netball: Q2: 5 mins remaining: Vixens 29-19 Magpies - This second quarter is much more even than the first but the Vixens are matching everything the Magpies can throw at them, piecing their way through the visiting defence with precision. Nat Medhurst has started slowly but the superstar is growing into the battle.

Super Netball: Q2: 10 mins remaining: Vixens 25-14 Magpies - Better from the Magpies to start the second quarter, in particular the feeding through to Nelson in the circle. Geva Mentor is also growing into the contest at the other end of the court.

Super Netball: QT: Vixens 20-9 Magpies - What an opening quarter by the Vixens. Stunned early on by the Magpies last week they have come flying out of the blocks in the semi-final to take a commanding lead. Focussed in defence and slick in possession the Vixens are oozing confidence and look set for a preliminary final appearance.

Super Netball: Q1: 5 mins remaining: Vixens 14-7 Magpies - Collingwood have stabilised since their time out, finding Nelson with greater ease. They’re still playing catch-up though and the Vixens are playing with serious intensity.

Super Netball: Q1: 9 mins remaining: Vixens 7-2 Magpies - Time out called by the Magpies in a bid to stem the bleeding. The Vixens are hungrier and more aggressive in these opening exchanges with Emily Mannix in particular dominating her head-to-head with Shimona Nelson.

Super Netball: Q1: 11 mins remaining: Vixens 4-2 Magpies - It’s a much more even start this week than last with the Vixens much more physical in defence. The atmosphere in the State Netball Centre is outstanding.

Updated

Motorsport: Before we concentrate on the Super Netball, some sad news to report with the FIA announcing driver Anthoine Hubert has died after a major accident during the Formula 2 feature race at the Belgian Grand Prix. The race was cancelled after the crash on the second lap at Spa-Francorchamps. In the high-speed incident involving Hubert and Juan Manuel Correa both cars took major damage but Hubert’s almost disintegrated.

Hubert is the first driver to die as a result of an accident at an F1 event since Jules Bianchi succumbed to the injuries he sustained in Japan in 2014.

Super Netball: Here are your line-ups. All the pressure on the Vixens after they were blitzed by the Magpies last weekend.

Preamble

Hello everybody and welcome to a lean Sunday Sportwatch as fixtures across some of Australia’s biggest competitions decrease in number but increase in significance.

We begin today with the second Super Netball semi-final between the Vixens and Magpies. That gets underway just after 1pm with the winner travelling to NSW next weekend to battle the Swifts for the right to take on the Lightning in the grand final.

Then we’re all about the NRL with a pair of fixtures with finals implications. From 2pm the Sharks dare not slip up against the Raiders while from 4pm it’s all about the Tigers who face a must-win 80-minutes away to the Dragons.

Finally, from 5.30pm we turn our attention to basketball and the opening match of Australia’s men’s world cup campaign against Canada.

In amongst all that we’ll have updates from Flushing Meadows with Australians prominent in the US Open, there’s Ashes to discuss, and plenty more besides on a busy weekend of sport around the world.
