Tom Rogers: Wales wing to join Ospreys from Scarlets

Published

on

Rogers has played 88 times for Scarlets as well as winning 13 caps for Wales, including scoring a hat-trick against New Zealand last November.

“The Ospreys have had a lot of success over the years and I’m really looking forward to testing myself in a different environment,” said Rogers.

“I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank all of the Scarlets fans for their support during my time at the club, it has always meant a lot to me.”

Despite the loss of a promising Wales international Davies said he remains positive about the current project to re-build a Scarlets squad who have struggled in URC this season.

“Our focus now is very clear. We are building a squad that is aligned, competitive and capable of driving this club forward,” he said.

“We have real strength and depth developing across the back three, with a group that combines international quality with exciting young talent coming through our pathway. That gives us a strong platform to build from.

“There is real momentum building here and we are excited about what lies ahead.”

2026 Masters tee times: Round 2 pairings and groups for field on Friday

Published

AUGUSTA, Ga. — The first round of the 2026 Masters produced a stellar leaderboard, headlined by defending champion Rory McIlroy tied at the top alongside Sam Burns at 5 under. McIlroy will look to back up that performance with another strong effort in the second round, and he will wait until late in the afternoon to do so as he goes off in the penultimate group at 1:44 p.m. ET on Friday. Burns, meanwhile, will aim to prove he can maintain his position on the leaderboard when he tees off at 12:27 p.m. 

The chase pack is headlined by world No. 1 and two-time Masters champion Scottie Scheffler, who had to endure the tougher afternoon conditions on Thursday but managed to shoot a 2-under 70. He’ll flip tee times with McIlroy and go off with his group at 10:19 a.m., hoping the course follows a similar pattern to Thursday by playing a touch softer in the morning. Also firmly in contention is 2025 runner-up Justin Rose, whose steady presence at Augusta National led our Round 1 Masters takeaways.

Also in the mix is 2018 champion Patrick Reed, who briefly held the lead at 5 under midway through his round before slipping back to 3 under with a Thursday 69. He will be back out with Akshay Bhatia and Tommy Fleetwood — also in red figures after a first-round 71 — at 1:08 p.m. 

The two biggest shocks of Thursday were the poor performances by Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau, who enter the second round with work to do just to make the cut. Rahm will look to shake off his opening 78 at 9:43 a.m. with Chris Gotterup and Ludvig Åberg, who also struggled to a 74 after entering as one of the favorites. DeChambeau started his 10th Masters with a disappointing 76, and will face the tough afternoon conditions in his 1:20 p.m. tee time alongside Matt Fitzpatrick and Xander Schauffele.

“What did I do?” – CSK star reveals amid IPL 2026 not following KL Rahul’s advice in debut season

Published

on

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) star Dewald Brevis revealed how he did not follow an advice KL Rahul gave him in his debut IPL season. Brevis, who missed the first few matches of the ongoing IPL 2026 season, is likely to return to action against the Delhi Capitals (DC) on Saturday, April 11.

In a conversation with CSK legend Ravichandran Ashwin, Brevis revealed how KL Rahul had adviced the youngster to be true to himself. However, he admitted to not following the same and learning his lesson the hard way eventually.

“Even in my young days, I remember KL Rahul told me my first IPL, always be true to yourself. That was his advice. What did I do? I went out, and I wasn’t true to myself at the start. But it was a beautiful journey. It has been great,” he said on Ashwin’s YouTube channel.

He reckoned that going through a difficult phase was important for his career. Before being a part of CSK, Brevis played three seasons for the Mumbai Indians (MI), having made his IPL debut in 2022. He also revealed how his time at MI shaped him, spending time and learning from the greats such as Rohit Sharma, Mahela Jayawardene, and Sachin Tendulkar.

“It was important for my journey to have gone through that. My time at MI, three years, really formed who I was. But in that time, I had to make that decision, I had to tell myself that any young cricketer, what is the most important in his life, and that is what all the people adviced me. I did good things, but I knew what I wanted. I have learned a lot in the nets, like spending time with Rohit, Mahela, Sachin Sir, and everyone. I felt like I needed to make decisions about what is good for my game,” he stated.

Brevis’s return would come as a huge boost for Chennai, who have struggled so far this season. They have lost all three of their matches and are at the bottom of the table.


“A big blessing came when Fleming and CSK reached out,” says Brevis

Talking about his stint with CSK, Dewald Brevis reflected that head coach Stephen Fleming and the franchise reaching out to him was a big blessing in itself. Brevis joined the five-time champions as an injury replacement for pacer Gurjapneet Singh midway through IPL 2025.

“A big blessing came when Fleming and CSK reached out and it was a very easy decision. It has been one of the best decisions, this stepping stone that I have had and CSK has only done good for me. In my young career, I did not play a lot. I was a lot on the side. You can only learn when you are out there, and the more you bat,” he said.

Brevis impressed right away, scoring 225 runs from six games at an average of 37.50 and a strike rate of 180.00. Therefore, he was retained by them for the IPL 2026 season as well.
