Rugby Union: Wallabies coach Michael Cheika thinks flyhalf Quade Cooper is showing every sign that he might take a new deal with the Australian Rugby Union (ARU) and rebuff a move to Toulon. The French club announced in April that the mercurial back had signed a two-year deal to join the Top 14 rugby club. Despite that announcement, the ARU and Queensland Reds have continued talks and Cheika believes there is now a deal on the table that could tempt Cooper to remain in Australia. “The way he is investing in what we are doing... and his input into the programme, you’d like to think he is staying for a while because that’s the feel he has given off,” Cheika said.

Basket, NBA: The Golden State Warriors won the battle of small-ball and defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 104-91 on Sunday to move within a win of their first NBA title in 40 years. Stephen Curry scored 37 points and the Warriors withstood a 40-point triple-double from LeBron James to grab a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series. With the Golden State fan base starving for a title, the Oracle Arena crowd chanted “one more to go” following the win. The Warriors can clinch their first championship since 1975 with a win in Game Six tonight in Cleveland.

Golf: Fabian Gomez, of Argentina, became a first-time winner on the PGA Tour on Sunday. With a crowded leaderboard around him that included American Brooks Koepka, not many gave Gomez a chance of emerging victor at the FedEx St Jude Classic at TPC Southwind in Memphis. He entered the final round as co-leader with the more experienced Greg Owen. Gomez kept his cool to produce a four-shot victory that included a 30-foot birdie at the closing hole to put an exclamation point on his 13-under 267 total.
