Wales vs France referee: Who is Six Nations official James Doleman?
James Doleman is the referee for Wales vs France in the 2026 Six Nations.
The New Zealander made his tournament debut during the 2023 championship, and has been given the whistle for this round two fixture as the tournament favourites visit Cardiff.
Born in Tauranga in the Bay of Plenty, Doleman took up officiating while still a student in Dunedin. With his parents living in Hong Kong, Doleman has also spent plenty of time refereeing in the city.
He took charge of the final of the 2019 World Rugby U20 Championship before becoming a professional referee a year later, overseeing a number of Super Rugby fixtures in 2020
A step-up to international level followed in 2021. It was at Twickenham three years ago that he oversaw a first Six Nations encounter, refereeing England’s win over Italy, while he operated as an assistant during the World Cup in France in the autumn of 2023.
Doleman is joined on the officiating team by England’s Christophe Ridley and Sam Grove-White of Scotland. Compatriot Richard Kelly is the TMO, with Mike Adamson on hand in the bunker to rule on any acts of foul play.

Justin Jefferson’s Situation Remains Unchanged after JSN’s Deal
There’s been some angst in Vikingsland regarding Jonathan Greenard’s desire for a revised contract as his $19 million per year deal—with two years remaining—lags behind the NFL’s top edge rushers (led by Micah Parsons at $42 million per year, including the final year of his rookie deal in 2025.
Greenard is not in a great bargaining position after he missed five games last season, and his sack total fell from 12 in 2024 to three, although his pressure rate remained among the top edge rushers. I expect the Vikings to give him some incentives based on again reaching double-digit sacks (which won’t count against the cap this year since he didn’t achieve that level last year) and then consider an extension next year if he plays more games and performs at an elite level to help the team return to the playoffs.
Jefferson’s Contract Outlook Stays the Same
Greenard falls somewhat into the category of recent big deals far surpassing a two-year-old contract, as the salary cap has boomed in recent years. Vikings fans can rest assured this is not the case with Justin Jefferson, who signed his four-year, $140 million extension ($35 million per year in new money) in the same year (2024) that Greenard joined the Vikings.
When Seattle superstar receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba was signed last week to a four-year, $168.6 million extension ($42.15 million per year), the possibility emerged that Jefferson—with three years left on his deal—would ask the Vikings to renegotiate his contract, which, on first glance, appears to be about $7 million per year less than Smith-Njigba.
Here’s a lesson in NFL caponomics that shows why Jefferson shouldn’t have a beef with his contract vis-à-vis JSN’s deal.
When Jefferson signed his extension, he had one year left on his rookie contract, with a fifth-year option worth approximately $20 million. Therefore, his total compensation over the five years from 2024 to 2028 is $160 million, which equates to $32 million per year.
Whereas Jefferson had to wait until after his fourth season to get his extension, Smith-Njigba’s new deal was negotiated after his third season (the earliest that a player under a rookie contract can be extended). He has two years left on his rookie deal, worth a total of $26.6 million, bringing his total compensation to $195.2 million over six years (2026-2031). That is an average of $32.53 million.
So the reality is Smith-Njigba’s deal is only $530,000 per year more than Jefferson’s over the next three years, and if Jefferson stays at an elite level, he’ll surely receive an extension that begins in 2029 and surpasses Smith-Njigba’s current deal.
The true leader in average wide receiver salary per year is still Cincinnati’s Ja’Marr Chase, who is making $36.4 million per season. He signed a four-year, $161 million extension after his fourth season, when he had one more year left on his rookie deal at $21 million, bringing his total contract to $182 million over five years.
Agents love to trumpet the new money in these top-of-the-market extensions, which I certainly understand since I now work in the agent business. But caponomics tells us we have to fully examine the deals, including the years and dollars remaining on the old contract, to get the true value of the contracts.
So don’t expect to hear Jefferson complain about his contract after the Smith-Njigba extension.
Reactions to Kevin O’Connell’s Media Session at League Meeting
1. On Greenard: O’Connell emphasized how much he and the team value Greenard as an impact player when healthy and as a team leader (he was a captain last season). O’Connell said he expects Greenard to be with the Vikings in the 2026 season, but he didn’t go so far as to label him untouchable. I think the team needs to keep the 28-year-old Greenard for at least one more season, and probably much longer, if he stays healthy and productive in the season ahead.
2. O’Connell said Blake Brandel will “more than likely” be the first-team center in the offseason OTAs and minicamp after playing the position for the first time last season in several games due to Ryan Kelly’s injuries. O’Connell is encouraged by the development of backup center Michael Jurgens, who appeared a bit shaky in his limited play last season. I expect the Vikings to draft a center in the first three rounds of next month’s draft and have an open competition for the starting spot.
3. On joining the prestigious NFL Competition Committee: O’Connell is excited about the opportunity to help with new rules and procedures that the committee presents to the NFL owners for votes. His addition to this committee is a nice tribute to the League office’s view of him as one of the NFL’s top coaches.
Addison’s Fifth-Year Option
The Vikings wisely exercised the fifth-year option in Jordan Addison’s rookie contract, which is now guaranteed for a projected $18 million in 2027.
Addison is an excellent second receiver to Jefferson and would be a No. 1 WR on many teams. He’s had too many off-field incidents in his three seasons and too many drops last season, but he’s been very productive overall, with 2,396 receiving yards and 22 TDs thus far in his career. The Vikings hope he matures off the field as he continues to improve and make an impact on the field.

New Mexico vs. Tulsa odds, picks, expert best bet in NIT
The NIT’s semifinals tip off tonight at historic Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, and I want to look at the first game of No. 1 seed New Mexico vs. No. 1 Tulsa at 7 ET on ESPN because that should be more competitive than the nightcap featuring No. 4 Illinois State against No. 1 Auburn. The winners face off in Sunday’s championship game, which moves to Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indy, and I expect that to be the Lobos and Tigers.
Fans who want to wager on college basketball can check out the latest BetMGM promo code for the best offer.
New Mexico (26-10, 21-14 ATS) of the Mountain West, which had a case for an NCAA Tournament spot before a late-season fade, was the winner of the Albuquerque Region of the NIT, and is clearly the best team in it. The Lobos beat Sam Houston, George Washington and Saint Joseph’s, all by at least 15 points at the Pit. I previewed that Hawks game last Tuesday here at CBS Sports and recommended SJU alt +16.5 and alt Under 161.5 at a parlay price of -125. We sweated a tad, but it cashed with UNM prevailing 84-69. Didn’t seem to be an ATS worry at the half with Saint Joseph’s up 39-37.
Tomislav Buljan led New Mexico in that one with a career-high 27 points to go with 11 rebounds, his 17th double-double of the season. Star freshman Jake Hall added 24 points. Those two freshmen carry coach Eric Olen’s club … and will be very expensive to keep in the offseason. Frankly, I doubt either will still be with the program.
Hall had his 11th 20-point game and became the all-time leading freshman scorer in Mountain West history with 585 points, breaking the previous record of 564 by UNLV‘s Anthony Bennett in 2012-13. Bennett of course was then the No. 1 overall pick in the 2013 draft by Cleveland. Hall, the Mountain West Freshman of the Year, has made a school-record 116 3-pointers, fourth-most by a freshman in Division I history.
Buljan had his third 25/10 game of the season, trailing only Duke superstar Cameron Boozer (six) for the most by a freshman nationally. Among players who played three games in this year’s NIT, Buljan (21.0 ppg) and Hall (19.0 ppg) are the tournament’s top two scorers. Another freshman in Uriah Tenette is leading the NIT in assist/turnover ratio at 13.0.
The Lobos have trailed for just 6:29 of 120:00. Their +21.33 average scoring margin over the first three rounds is the largest in the event since 2008. UNM is the first team since San Diego State in 2016 to advance to the NIT semifinals with three wins by at least 15 points and has reached this round for the third time overall and first since 1990.
I generally prefer to lean Under an alternate total but chose to go Over an alt here because the Lobos are averaging a whopping 92.3 points in this tournament, most over the event’s first three rounds since Oklahoma (94.3 PPG) in 1991. That team lost in the final. Tonight will be New Mexico’s first-ever game in April.

Tulsa (27-9, 17-17 ATS) of the American Athletic Conference is having its first winning season since 2019-20 and hosted the Tulsa Region in the first three rounds. The Golden Hurricane haven’t had it nearly as easy as New Mexico did, with two of their three wins in the NIT by five points or fewer (one in OT). They knocked off conference rival Wichita State last Tuesday to get here.
The primary starting five of David Green, Tylen Riley, Miles Barnstable, Ade Popoola and Tyler Behrend leads the American Conference with a rating of plus-172. That ranks them third in the country as a group. Tulsa’s 381 made 3-pointers have not just shattered the school record but broke the 2018-19 Houston squad’s AAC record of 337.
The Golden Hurricane are one of 10 schools nationally to have at least 25 games this season scoring 80-plus points and are 24-1 in those games. Only NCAA Tournament Final Four foes Arizona (26-0) and Michigan (25-1) have a better record in such games.
The program is in the semifinals of the NIT for the third time in history and won it the previous two times (1981 and 2001). Head coach Eric Konkol was a student assistant at Tulsa on that 2001 team that beat Alabama, 79-60, in the NIT title game.
New Mexico leads the all-time series 2-1, but they haven’t played since 1998. The Lobos are +210 second favorites to win the NIT behind Auburn (+110) – they were the two favorites when the event tipped off. Tulsa is +380, a nice jump from an open of +1000. As of this writing, Auburn is taking the most Yes shares to win it at Kalshi with 44%.

‘Is Rishabh Pant really an opener?’ Kevin Pietersen questions LSG call | Cricket News
NEW DELHI: Former England captain Kevin Pietersen has raised doubts over Rishabh Pant’s decision to promote himself to the top order, suggesting the Lucknow Super Giants skipper may have “gone a little too far ahead” in his batting position.Pant, who was run out for 7 off 9 balls in LSG’s IPL 2026 opener against Delhi Capitals, later indicated he intends to bat in the top order this season. However, Pietersen believes the move could backfire.
‘Too much pressure at the top’“When you look at the strength and depth of LSG’s batting, is Rishabh Pant really an opening batter?” Pietersen said on JioHotstar’s ‘Google Search AI Mode Match Centre Live’. “I think he might have gone a little too far ahead of where he was in the line-up compared to last year.”The former England star pointed out that Pant had earlier dropped down the order but is now looking to move up again, a shift he feels may not be ideal. “He just needs to go out and enjoy his cricket,” Pietersen added, warning that forcing himself into a top-three role could pile unnecessary pressure.“Don’t force yourself into batting at number three. Enjoy the luxury of that position. I think he puts himself under tremendous pressure by opening the batting,” he said.Rizvi earns praise after match-winning knockPietersen also heaped praise on Delhi’s young batter Sameer Rizvi, who turned the game with an unbeaten 70 after the Capitals were reduced to 26/4 in a chase of 142.“He played the situation beautifully, and I’m not surprised,” Pietersen said, recalling his time mentoring the youngster. “This kid is a proper player, and we probably need to invest in him for a period of time.”He emphasised the importance of backing young talent, adding, “When you invest in a player, you need trust that he can pay you back, and he has done exactly that.”According to Pietersen, Rizvi’s match-winning effort under pressure in a season opener carries more weight than scoring freely in a high-scoring game, underlining his temperament and potential.

Tiger Woods pleads not guilty to DUI charge after car accident
The court proceedings have begun in the case against Tiger Woods.
On Tuesday afternoon, Woods pleaded not guilty on DUI charges stemming from a rollover crash in Jupiter, Fla. on Friday afternoon, according to court documents obtained by GOLF. The 15-time major champion has also retained the services of Douglas Duncan, an attorney who served on his 2017 DUI case after Woods was found asleep at the wheel of his car and tested positive for five different substances in a toxicology report. Ultimately, two of the three misdemeanor charges against Woods were dropped in that case, and the golfer pleaded guilty only to reckless driving.
Woods, 50, has been the story of the golf world in the week preceding the Masters after crashing his car on a one-lane road in Jupiter, Fla. on Friday afternoon. The crash, which came when Woods attempted to overtake a turning truck with a trailer attached, resulted in Woods’ Range Rover flipping onto its driver side. After police responded to the scene of the crash, officers observed Woods “sweating profusely” and appearing “lethargic and slow,” according to an affidavit. After administering a field sobriety test to the 15-time major champion, an officer from the Martin County Sheriff’s Department charged him with Driving Under the Influence.
After conducting a search at the scene of the accident, officers also found two hydrocodone pills in Woods’ pocket. The well-prescribed opioid was one of several substances that arrived in Woods’ toxicology report back in 2017. On Tuesday afternoon, Woods announced his intention to seek treatment for unspecified issues.
“I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today,” Woods said. “I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health. This is necessary in order form e to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery.”
Friday’s incident was not Woods’ first serious accident behind the wheel. In 2021, he suffered serious injuries to his right leg after a single-car accident in Rolling Hills Estates, Calif. while on the way to a magazine shoot. At the time of that accident, the recorder in Woods’ car tracked him as driving at nearly two times the speed limit. The “jaws of life” were needed to extricate him from the crash, and Woods’ leg was badly mangled. In the report from Friday’s DUI, the Martin County Sheriff’s Department quotes Woods as mentioning he has had more than 20 surgeries to the leg since the injury in 2021.
Prior to Friday, the familiar swell of anticipatory energy had begun to swirl around Woods’ golf game. The 82-time PGA Tour winner had returned to competitive golf for the first time since rupturing his achilles in March of last year, competing in the finals of the TGL just two weeks out from the start of the Masters. Irrespective of his playing status, Woods was scheduled to be in attendance at Augusta for the official reopening of The Patch, a local municipal course renovated by Augusta National with help from Woods’ design firm.

Nick Pivetta bounces back, pitches Padres past Giants
Apr 1, 2026; San Diego, California, USA; San Diego Padres starting pitcher Nick Pivetta (27) delivers during the first inning against the San Francisco Giants at Petco Park. Mandatory Credit: Denis Poroy-Imagn Images Ramon Laureano blasted a two-run homer and Nick Pivetta yielded only one hit in five shutout innings Wednesday as the San Diego Padres avoided a series sweep by the visiting San Francisco Giants with a 7-1 win.
Bouncing back from a frightful outing in an 8-2 Opening Day loss to Detroit on Thursday, Pivetta (1-1) fanned eight and walked two. Former teammate Luis Arraez accounted for San Francisco’s one hit off Pivetta, a leadoff single in the second.
San Diego used its top three relievers to handle the game’s remainder. Jeremiah Estrada pitched a scoreless sixth and Adrian Morejon handled 1 2/3 innings before Mason Miller worked the final 1 1/3 innings for his second save.
The Padres led 3-1 entering the bottom of the eighth, but Laureano provided insurance when he followed Manny Machado’s leadoff double with a two-run homer to left, his second of the year. The ball traveled an estimated 393 feet.
San Diego worked reliever Jose Butto over for two more runs in the inning. Fernando Tatis Jr. legged out an infield single to make it 6-1 as Jake Cronenworth crossed the plate and Xander Bogaerts coaxed a four-pitch bases loaded walk to close the scoring.
Adrian Houser (0-1) absorbed the loss in his first start of the year. He lasted 5 1/3 innings, permitting seven hits and three runs, one of them earned. Houser walked one and struck out four.
Poor defense victimized Houser when the Padres scored single runs in the first and fifth. After Jackson Merrill singled with two outs in the first, Machado reached on an infield single. First baseman Casey Schmitt dropped the throw from third baseman Mark Chapman and the ball rolled into right field, enabling Merrill to score.
Chapman was charged with a throwing error in the fifth on Bogaerts’ two-out bouncer that allowed Gavin Sheets to score. Sheets ripped his second double in as many innings in the sixth, plating Laureano for a 3-0 advantage. Harrison Bader’s two-out RBI single in the seventh scored Arraez with San Francisco’s only run. Arraez collected three of the Giants’ four hits and added a stolen base.
It marked the first time in six games that San Diego scored more than three runs.

Govt steps up efforts to involve private firms in Khelo India mission | Other Sports News
The government is making efforts to involve private companies in the Khelo India mission for the promotion of sports, but there is no directive on them for job reservation of sportspersons, Rajya Sabha was informed on Thursday.
Replying to a supplementary during the question hour in the Upper House, Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports Raksha Nikhil Khadse said providing employment for sportspersons in the private sector is entirely at the discretion of companies.
“There is no such policy at present. It is at the discretion of the private companies that if they want to absorb a sportsperson, they can employ the sportsperson,” she said.
The minister was responding to a question from BJP member Mayankkumar Nayak, who sought to know if there is job reservation for meritorious sportspersons in private sector as it is done in various government ministries, departments and PSUs.
Khadse, however, said the government is trying to involve private companies in the ‘Khelo India’ mission and promote sports through their CSR funds or other means.
The minister pointed out that under the Department of Personnel and Training (DOPT) guidelines, different ministries, railways and defence have different criteria for reservations for sportspersons, but “from our side (government), there is no rule imposed on private companies”.
Responding to another query from Congress member Digvijay Singh, who wanted to know the government’s efforts to provide education and sports training facilities at the same centre of development, Khadse said the Khelo India mission to develop sports at grassroots is also aligned with the school education policy.
Efforts have been made in collaboration with state governments to establish sports schools at each district where selected talented students get the opportunity to pursue sports along with education simultaneously.
The government is also working to increase activities and disciplines so that more talent identification can be done.

KKR vs SRH, IPL 2026: 5 players to watch in today’s match | Cricket News
Kolkata Knight Riders will be eager for their spinners to rediscover form against Sunrisers Hyderabad in a clash of two batting-heavy sides on Thursday.The match begins a crucial home stretch for KKR, with three games in seven days before a long break due to assembly polls. With four away fixtures to follow, building momentum at Eden Gardens — where they have won 54 of 95 matches — is vital.
KKR’s campaign has been hampered by a weakened bowling unit. Injuries to Harshit Rana and Akash Deep, Matheesha Pathirana’s absence, and Cameron Green’s limited role have reduced their depth. However, the bigger concern is spin, with Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy struggling in the opener.SRH are in a similar spot after losing to Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Despite a strong top order, their bowling looks vulnerable without Pat Cummins, placing added pressure on both departments to deliver.
Five players to watch in KKR vs SRH
Abhishek Sharma (SRH)The World No. 1 batter is enduring a torrid time since the start of the T20 World Cup 2026, and it has continued in IPL 2026. Despite a triumphant campaign for India, Abhishek was heavily scrutinised for his dismal showing, even though he scored a 52 in the final. In the opening match of the new IPL season, the left-handed opener failed to fire and was out for 7 off 8 balls. SRH posted 201, but RCB chased it down in just 15.4 overs. The explosive batter will be looking to turn around his fortunes against KKR at Eden. The 25-year-old is now in his eighth season with SRH, and the team will be hoping for another 400-plus season from their star batter after achieving a similar feat in the last two seasons.Varun Chakravarthy (KKR)India’s X-factor in the T20I bowling setup, Varun Chakravarthy also had a below-par T20 World Cup despite finishing as joint highest wicket-taker with teammate Jasprit Bumrah. Most of his wickets came in the early stages of the tournament, with his performances in must-win games not up to the mark. He is now under the scanner again in IPL 2026, as the premier KKR spinner returned dismal figures of 0 for 48 in the high-scoring opener against MI at Wankhede. Varun had three consecutive good seasons for KKR, and the team will be looking to him again for crucial breakthroughs in their first home game.Ishan Kishan (SRH)Ishan Kishan has been the talk of the town in recent months. One of the stars of India’s triumphant T20 World Cup campaign, Ishan is now leading SRH in the absence of regular captain Pat Cummins. Continuing his rich vein of form from the World Cup, he started IPL 2026 with a gritty 80 off 38 balls against RCB. Even though his team was beaten comprehensively, Ishan remains a force to reckon with. He will be looking for another big knock on the high-scoring Eden pitch against KKR.Aniket Verma (SRH)Young middle-order batter Aniket Verma showcased his power-hitting in SRH’s season opener against RCB. The 24-year-old smashed four sixes and three fours in his 18-ball 43 late charge to take SRH to a competitive 201/9. Even though the total proved insufficient, Aniket’s power game caught attention. After a decent debut season last year, the youngster will be aiming for another strong campaign.Angkrish Raghuvanshi (KKR)The young keeper-batter was in his element in KKR’s opener, smashing 51 off 29 balls against MI. KKR posted 220/4 at Wankhede, but it was chased down with ease. The 21-year-old will be looking for another good outing this time at home. In his third season with KKR, Raghuvanshi will be aiming for a breakthrough year.

IPL 2026: After snub, RCB star heads to court to secure playing rights | Cricket News
Sri Lanka fast bowler Nuwan Thushara has approached the Colombo District Court seeking legal intervention to allow him to play in the 2026 Indian Premier League. Thushara has filed a case against Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), requesting that the board be ordered to issue a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for his participation.The matter was heard in court today and is scheduled for a full hearing on April 9. In his petition, Thushara has named SLC President Shammi Silva, Secretary Bandula Dissanayake, Treasurer Sujeewa Godaliyadda, and CEO Ashley de Silva as defendants.
Thushara, who was picked by Royal Challengers for the 2026 IPL, highlighted that he had previously played in the 2024 and 2025 editions after receiving NOCs from SLC. However, the board has refused to grant the 2026 NOC, citing that he did not meet the prescribed fitness standards.The pacer maintains that his contract with SLC ended on March 31, 2026, and that he had already informed the board of his decision not to renew it and to step away from international cricket. He argued that he had also been informed he would not be selected for national duties, making the refusal to issue an NOC on fitness grounds unreasonable.Thushara further stated that his current fitness levels are consistent with those maintained throughout his career and that similar standards had not prevented SLC from issuing NOCs in the past. He warned that failing to obtain the NOC would force him to be replaced by his IPL franchise, resulting in a loss of income and career opportunities.Through the court, Thushara is seeking a declaration confirming his entitlement to the NOC, along with interim and permanent orders directing SLC to issue the certificate, ensuring his eligibility for the IPL and other overseas leagues.The court has fixed the next hearing for April 9.

WVU seniors face off with Stanford’s freshman star in Crown opener
Mar 10, 2026; Charlotte, NC, USA; Stanford Cardinal guard Ebuka Okorie (1) on the court in the second half at Spectrum Center. Mandatory Credit: Bob Donnan-Imagn Images Senior-dominated West Virginia and freshman-led Stanford go head-to-head Thursday night when the College Basketball Crown Tournament continues in Las Vegas with its second day of quarterfinal matchups.
The second-year event pitting teams from the Southeastern Conference, Big 12, Big Ten and Big East will continue Saturday in Las Vegas with the semifinals, where the West Virginia-Stanford survivor will meet the winner of the Thursday second quarterfinal between Rutgers and Creighton.
The nationally televised finals are set for Sunday afternoon, with the winner guaranteed $300,000 in name, image and likeness money.
When last seen on March 11, West Virginia (18-14) was alternating losses and wins over its final five games, capped by a 68-48 drubbing at the hands of BYU in the Mountaineers’ opening game of the Big 12 Conference tournament.
Mountaineers coach Ross Hodge labeled the long layoff an “enjoyable experience,” especially for his five key seniors — Honor Huff, Brenen Lorient, Treysen Eaglestaff, Chance Moore and Jasper Floyd — who might otherwise have already gone their separate ways in pursuing future basketball dreams.
“Anytime you get to continue to play, it’s hard to not take advantage of those opportunities,” Hodge said this week. “When you have a group that legitimately wants to keep playing and gets opportunities to be together, I’ve always been of the mindset that you need to honor that and have an appreciation level.”
Stanford (20-12) had a four-game winning streak snapped in its most recent outing, a 64-63 loss to Pittsburgh in the opening round of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament on March 10.
Accepting a bid to the Crown tournament allows Stanford fans at least one more chance to see prized freshman Ebuka Okorie, an All-ACC first-team selection who had averaged 27.3 points over the final eight games of the conference regular season before he was limited to just 14 points by Pittsburgh. Stanford coach Kyle Smith realizes his star will have options in the offseason.
“I’m prayerful,” Smith said this week. “I do think it’s going to be us or the NBA, and I support whatever Ebuka chooses.”
