Sporting Pics of the Week : June 28

The Confederations Cup.  Of course the All Whites should have been there, but they weren’t.  Instead it was left to Tahiti to represent our non continent.  They got hammered of course; 0-10 by Spain for example.  But this photo shows what it was all about for them.

But it’s not going that well in Brazil, is it?  The World Cup is less than a year away.  A creative protest on the beach at Rio.

There is something about a Lions tour.  The build-up to the test in Brisbane.  Yellow and red don’t really mix.

And who said Lions players could get a bit arrogant?  Keep it classy George North.

Wimbledon.  It must be hard on the neck. But check the woman in the white hoody.  She’s got it sorted.

Football ground terrorism.  No, it’s not Belgrade, but rather … Takapuna.  How to sabotage a Chatham Cup match.  Probably the strangest story of the week.
