Dalgliesh positive despite Scotland defeat in Summer Series

And when reflecting on the result, Dalgliesh was pleased with how her players connected with one another and adapted during the game.
'I thought the clarity that we played with in terms of our intentions to move the ball and cause England problems was really impressive,' she said.
'We have worked really hard on our connection [between players] on both sides of the ball.
'I'm just really proud of the connection, how the players worked on the field to identify what was happening and then adapt to the different pictures that they were seeing.'

Scotland's opening try came from McIntyre's superb score after Lucy Macrae's pinpoint cross-field kick and Dalgliesh was thrilled with the all-round team move that led to the score.
'I'm delighted for her [Holly] and the forwards gave us a brilliant platform to allow that kick to take place.
'Holly's finish was outstanding and I'm delighted for her.'
Next up for Scotland is a clash against Wales, who also lost their opening match of the competition, going down 27-10 to Ireland.
And although Dalgliesh said the team would review Wales' opening game, she insisted the most important thing would be to concentrate on their own game heading into the encounter.
'I think it's important that we still focus on ourselves,' she continued.
'We will take the opportunity to have a look at [Wales'] game to see which areas we can go after.
'But we've showed that we can score some quality tries and we can take confidence from that to take into our next match on Friday.'

Aussie who made soccer history when he came out as gay reveals his huge life change - with a touch of mystery

A-League star Josh Cavallo has revealed he is relocating to the United Kingdom with his fiancé - but his sporting future remains unknown. Cavallo, 25, rose to international prominence in 2021 when he became the first openly gay male footballer actively playing in a top-flight league. At the time, the Adelaide United defender stated he didn't want to feel ashamed about his sexuality and was exhausted after trying to live a 'double life'. Taking to Instagram on Monday, Cavallo told his 1.1 million followers he is looking forward to living in England. 'It's not goodbye forever but now, it's time to leave the nest with my fiancé by my side,' his post began. 'Football and life have taken me further than I ever imagined, and new opportunities have led to a new life waiting for us across the world. Taking to Instagram on Monday, Cavallo (pictured right with Morrell) told his 1.1 million Instagram followers he is looking forward to living in England 'I never imagined that living my truth would unlock doors from the pitch to every corner of my personal life. 'Whether you've followed my journey from the beginning or found strength in it along the way, your presence has meant more than words can ever say. 'Especially to the LGBTQ+ community, you are the reason I never gave up. 'You helped me see that I wasn't alone and that none of us are. For the boy who once looked in the mirror and questioned why he was different, this is proof that you can find your place in this world.' The first professional player to come out while still playing was Britain's Justin Fashanu in 1990, but he never found acceptance in the game and tragically took his own life in 1998. Once he made his announcement, Cavallo received support on social media from the likes of Matildas skipper Sam Kerr, ex-Barcelona defender Gerard Pique and former England striker Gary Lineker. He also labelled the support from Adelaide United teammates and officials 'immense', before adding he wanted to be a positive role model for gay footballers. 'It's OK to be gay and play football - I want to show all the other people who are struggling and are scared,' Cavallo said. The left back came through the youth ranks at Melbourne Victory and Melbourne City before securing an A-League move to Western United in 2019. He played 10 matches for the Green and Black before signing a short contract with Adelaide United in 2021. In May, Adelaide United confirmed Cavallo was departing the club, labelling their former star a 'symbol of courage, authenticity and positive change.' Daily Mail Australia reached out to Cavallo and Wax - who manage the athlete - regarding any potential football opportunities abroad.

Horse racing tips: ‘He looks sure to score at his beloved track' – Templegate's NAP unstoppable on Tuesday

TEMPLEGATE tackles Tuesday's action confident of building the bank for the Newmarket July Festival. Back a horse by clicking their odds below. TIME PATROL (7.12 Brighton, nap) He can notch up yet another win at his beloved Brighton. Tony Carroll's five-year-old has landed three victories from four visits to the seaside and came home quickly when just denied here last time. The handicapper has left his mark alone and he takes a drop in class which can get him back to winning ways. He gets on well with today's rider Jack Doughty and decent ground is ideal. CRYSTAL MER (8.30 Uttoxeter, nb) He looked a cut above when bolting up over course and distance last month and can strike again under champion jockey Sean Bowen. The six-year-old powered clear with loads in hand that day and still looks well treated for Hughie Morrison who rarely misses when targeting these races. That was his debut for the yard and there's a lot more to come. SHADY BAY (7.42 Brighton, treble) She caught the eye with a five-length win at Nottingham last time out. She showed a blistering turn of pace there and clearly enjoyed dropping to this distance. She is back out quickly under a 5lb penalty and has a big chance of following up under Hollie Doyle. COMMAND THE STARS (4.25 Lingfield, Lucky 15) He showed bundles of promise on debut and then absolutely bolted up at Beverley, pulling four lengths clear despite still running green. That performance marked him out as well above average and this step up to 7f is sure to suit given his stout Sea The Stars pedigree.

Man United 'end £10m talks with streaming giant' over behind-the-scenes documentary - with Ruben Amorim role key as 'reasons for axing plans are revealed'

Manchester United have 'pulled the plug on a fly-on-the-wall documentary that would have banked them more than £10million'. United had been in talks with Amazon over being the latest side in their All or Nothing series and they were locked in negotiations for months. But according to The Athletic, the club decided on balance that the intrusion could negatively impact performances on the pitch. They report that Ruben Amorim was not comfortable with the arrangement - despite the temptation to cash in with what would have been the highest amount paid for an All or Nothing series. Time pressure of the upcoming campaign and commercial reasons were reportedly other key factors, but ultimately without Amorim's support there was no progress to be made. Opening up United to the cameras during what is a turbulent time at Old Trafford could have made for compelling viewing. Amorim has made his feelings known on Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford, with the Portuguese manager not one to pull punches. United endured an awful season after Amorim took over from sacked Erik ten Hag, leading them to 15th in the Premier League. Missing out on the Champions League by losing the Europa League final against Tottenham was also a massive blow, especially financially. There was support for the documentary from the commercial department but only if the football department agreed. Chief executive Omar Berrada was also said to be on board with the Amazon proposal. The fact that United were happy to go with Amorim's view of a distracting, negative impact shows they are putting their full weight behind him. The club have already signed Matheus Cunha and are closing in on Bryan Mbeumo - two additions who should in theory make United markedly stronger. There remains an issue with outgoings, with Rashford and Garnacho among those the club desperately want to move on. Netflix, Amazon and Disney all reached out to United with interest in making a documentary following a revival under Sir Jim Ratcliffe. But given the poor start to INEOS' stewardship, it is perhaps no surprise there is an unwillingness to push for the access-all-areas show. So far, there have been more than 450 redundancies at the club and Ratcliffe claimed they were in danger of going out of business back in March without his deeply unpopular cost-cutting methods.
