Durham sports startup hits $1B valuation
Teamworks, a Durham-based startup making software for professional and college sports teams, is now valued at $1 billion after raising new money from investors. Why it matters: The valuation would put Teamworks into the Triangle's small club of unicorn startups (startups with valuations of $1 billion or more) and comes at a time when funding rounds have been less plentiful than in recent years. Driving the news: Teamworks unveiled the valuation on Tuesday during a new $235 million funding round led by Dragoneer Investment Group. What it does: Founded in downtown Durham by former Duke offensive lineman Zach Maurides, Teamworks runs a software platform that helps sports teams manage their players' schedules, nutrition and even their online brand — a feature that has become popular in the era of NIL. The company says that more than 6,500 sports teams and military organizations worldwide use its software platform, including every NFL team, most Division I college athletic departments and 90% of MLB teams. The goal of the new funding round is to add more artificial intelligence-driven products using the massive amounts of data it has collected on athletes worldwide.

Farrell selects strongest British and Irish Lions squad for Brumbies game to avoid 2013 repeat
CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — British and Irish Lions coach Andy Farrell has selected his strongest squad of the Australian tour so far for Wednesday's game against the Brumbies, determined to avoid a repeat of the 2013 loss to the Canberra-based Super Rugby club. England lock Maro Itoje returns as captain in a second-row partnership with Ireland's Joe McCarthy in a starting lineup that includes a number of first-choice picks for the test squad. Scotland flyhalf Finn Russell will start against at No. 10 in a halves pairing with Jamison Gibson-Park. Ireland centers Bundee Aki and Garry Ringrose will start in the midfield and Blair Kinghorn will make his first start of the tour at fullback in a back three with Tommy Freeman and James Lowe. Australia-born Ireland winger Mack Hansen is among the reserves for the game against his old Super Rugby franchise. Joining him on the bench are Englad backrower Henry Pollock and England flyhalf Marcus Smith. The Brumbies have been the best performing of the Australian Super Rugby clubs, reaching the semifinals last month. 'In 2013 the Brumbies beat the British and Irish Lions in Canberra and this year they were the leading Australian team in Super Rugby, so we are fully aware of the challenge in front of us,' Farrell said. "It will also be a special occasion for Mack Hansen as he returns to his home town and gets the opportunity to play for and represent the Lions against some of his old teammates.' The Brumbies will be well below full strength, with players involved in the Australian team preparing for the three-test series that starts July 19. Prop Lington Ieli, flanker Rory Scott, scrumhalf and captain Ryan Lonergan, center David Feliuai and winger Corey Toole will all start after being involved in the Wallabies camp before being released to train with the Brumbies last week. The Lions are 3-0 since a 28-24 loss to Argentina in a warmup in Dublin before the traveling Down Under for their nine-game tour. After wins over Western Force in Perth, Queensland Reds in Brisbane and New South Wales Waratahs in Sydney, the Lions will play the Brumbies in Canberra on Wednesday before taking on the combined AUNZ invitational squad on Saturday in their final preparation for the test series. Squads: British and Irish Lions: Blair Kinghorn (Scotland), Tommy Freeman (England), Garry Ringrose (Ireland), Bundee Aki (Ireland), James Lowe (Ireland), Finn Russell (Scotland), Jamison Gibson-Park (Ireland); Jack Conan (Ireland), Tomm Curry (England), Ollie Chessum (England), Joe McCarthy (Ireland), Maro Itoje (England, captain), Tadhg Furlong (Ireland), Dan Sheehan (Ireland), Ellis Genge (England). Reserves: Replacements: Ronan Kelleher (Ireland), Andrew Porter (Ireland), Will Stuart (England), Josh van der Flier (Ireland), Henry Pollock (England), Alex Mitchell (England), Marcus Smith (England), Mack Hansen (Ireland). Brumbies: Andy Muirhead, Ben O'Connell, Ollie Sapsford, David Feliuai, Corey Toole, Declan Meredith, Ryan Lonergan (captain); Tuaina Taii Tualima, Rory Scott, Tom Hooper, Cadeyrn Neville, Lachie Shaw, Rhys van Nek, Lachlan Lonergan, Lington Ieli. Reserves: Liam Bowron, Cameron Orr, Feao Fotuaika, Lachie Hooper, Luke Reimer, Harrison Goddard, Jack Debreczeni, Hudson Creighton.
