Rugby Union: Israel Folau has been revealed as the player who collided with Australia coach Michael Cheika, damaging his shoulder. Cheika reportedly attempted to field a high ball in training ahead of the Wallabies’ recent clash with New Zealand at Eden Park when he sustained the injury. He was not present on the team flight to England on Friday, instead travelling a day later, and is expected to wear a sling throughout the autumn internationals.

Golf: PGA Tour rookie Cody Gribble blew away the field with a closing seven-under 65 to win the Sanderson Farms Championship by four strokes in Mississippi. Gribble, in his eighth start on tour, bolted clear of a tight leaderboard with a hat-trick of birdies from the 15th hole at the Country Club of Jackson. The left-handed Texan finished at 20-under 268, with compatriots Chris Kirk (70) and Luke List (70) and Englishman Greg Owen (68) equal second on 16-under. Gribble, 26, barely earned his card to play on the PGA Tour this season, after finishing 40th on the secondary tour ranking.

Baseball: Chicago Cubs kept their World Series hopes alive beating the Indians 3-2 at Wrigley Field on Sunday to move within 3-2 in the best-of-seven and send the Major League Baseball championship back to Cleveland. Chicago’s quiet bats came to life in the fourth inning with three runs, sparked by a home run from Kris Bryant and four more hits that followed that allowed the Cubs to hold on to the dream of winning their first World Series in 108 years. Game Six is scheduled for today.
