Eight Aussies in Super Rugby Pacific 'Team of the Year'
Super Rugby Pacific player of the year, Moana Pasifika captain Ardie Savea, who had an unbeatable lead in voting with two rounds of the competition remaining, headlines the side.
While the Team of the Year will become an official post-season recognition in Super Rugby Pacific alongside Player of the Year from next season, an honorary team has been named for 2025.
There are eight Australians in total - two backs in cross-code star Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, who was named as fullback in his first season, and Western Force winger Harry Potter.
The line-up was formed from the top-ranked players in each position based on Player of the Year votes from across the season.
If players were used across multiple positions, for team of the year purposes they were assigned only the position they most played during the season.
"Selection in this team is a reflection of the respect and admiration these players have earned from their opponents, week in and week out, throughout the 2025 season," Super Rugby Pacific CEO Jack Mesley said.
Australian openside flankers Carlo Tizzano, Fraser McReight and Langi Gleeson could not initially be separated for the third back row position, having received the same amount of votes (29).
With voting coming down to who received the most "three votes" for best in a game, Tizzano and McReight couldn't be split, with both receiving five.
They also received the same minor votes and shared the award.

Australian swimming's fresh wave face world title test
The new wave in Australian swimming face an immediate resilience test at the world titles, head coach Rohan Taylor says. Taylor is overseeing a Dolphins team with a near-quarter of debutants, plus five new coaches, at the championships starting on Sunday in Singapore. "We don't have a footy game every week, we go once this year," Taylor told AAP. "So we have got to make sure that they get the experience. "Next year we will have a multiple competitions that they will be exposed to. "But the first one is the one that will test their resilience." Proven performers and gold-medal winners including Kaylee McKeown, Kyle Chalmers, Cam McEvoy and Mollie O'Callaghan form a core of a team including 10 world championship rookies including 16-year-old breaststroker Sienna Toohey. And the 10-strong coaching team under Swimming Australia's head coach Taylor has been revamped after last year's Paris Olympics with five fresh faces. Taylor was impressed with integration of the newcomers at the Dolphins' camp in Darwin before arriving in Singapore. "Having new people come in - a quarter of the team, half the coaching staff - they slotted in really well, it was really nice to see. That is the first step," he said. "The second step will be when they get into competition, obviously anything can happen. "It's going to be how they manage themselves, manage the ups and downs that come with it. "We have had a pretty consistent group of coaches and athletes over the last cycle that we worked with. This is just a new test for us as a leadership." The titles were vital for Taylor's plans for the ultimate goal, the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. "I want to be able to look at the next three years to ensure we're working on all the key things for LA," he said. "I just want to know where are our gaps, where are our strengths ... and what do we need to be doing about it as an organisation." Australia will unveil a revamped women's 4x100m freestyle relay team on night one at the Singapore Sports Hub. The retired Emma McKeon and Shayna Jack, who missed selection, are missing from the relay team that won Olympic gold last year. Also on night one, Paris silver medallist Elijah Winnington and a rejuvenated Sam Short renew rivalry with Germany's Olympic champion Lukas Martens in the men's 400m freestyle. And with Ariarne Titmus yet to return post-Olympics, Lani Pallister will fly the Australian flag in a highly-anticipated women's 400m freestyle boasting Canadian Summer McIntosh and American legend Katie Ledecky. McIntosh, at Canada's trials last month, regained the 400m free world record from Titmus and also set global records in the 200m individual medley and 400m individual medley.

Timely boost for Aussie Webster in Championship
Beau Webster has combined with Zen Malik to earn Warwickshire one of their most prized victories in the County Championship. The Australian Test allrounder hit an unbeaten 100 of 166 balls, while Malik made a career-best 142 as Warwickshire chased down 393 - the third-highest target in their history - to beat Worcestershire by five wickets in Division One. Worcestershire needed 338 with eight wickets in hand at the start of the day before Malik and Webster took control. Dan Mousley chipped in with 69 before Kai Smith (48 off 40) joined Webster to see the hosts home with almost 14 overs to spare to leave bottom side Worcestershire staring at relegation. It will give the Tasmanian plenty of confidence with the end-of-the year Ashes series looming large in Australia. In other matches, Essex inflicted Sussex's first championship defeat at Hove since May 2022 after wrapping up only their second victory of the season inside 25 minutes on the final day. The home side began play needing another 55 just to make Essex bat again and while James Coles got the single he needed for his third consecutive century there was little else to cheer as they were bowled out for 261 to lose by an innings and 39 runs. Top two Surrey and Nottinghamshire both had to settle for draws, at Yorkshire and Hampshire respectively. Division Two leaders Leicestershire strengthened their promotion push with a 189-run victory over Derbyshire at Derby. England allrounder Rehan Ahmed finished with 7-93, and 13 wickets in the match, as the hosts were dismissed for 256. Second-placed Glamorgan kept up the chase with a five-wicket win at home to struggling Kent after Kiran Carlson scored an unbeaten 89 in a successful pursuit of 189, the hosts knocking off the remaining 164 required for the loss of only three further wickets. England spinner Tom Hartley claimed 5-99 - and match figures of 11 for 215 - as Lancashire beat Gloucestershire by nine wickets with five overs to spare at Cheltenham. Following-on at 98 without loss Hartley took advantage of a helpful pitch to leave the visitors needing 110 from 26 overs and an unbeaten second-wicket stand of 103 between Keaton Jennings (57no) and Josh Bohannon saw them home. Middlesex boosted their hopes of avoiding the wooden spoon with an innings and 107-run victory over Northamptonshire. The visitors began the day 3-64 following-on and despite battling Rob Keogh's unbeaten 61 made in nine minutes short of five hours they could not stave off defeat.

Three-time Olympian sues sporting body over ‘false imputations of paedophilia'
A three-time Olympic figure skater is suing NSW's ice skating association for defamation, claiming it made 'false imputations of paedophilia and child molestation' against him in an email to members. Documents released by the NSW Supreme Court on Friday reveal Brendan Kerry, 30, is seeking damages and an order permanently restraining the sporting body from repeating the claims in the email, sent to members on May 16 last year. Kerry was on the board of the NSW Ice Skating Association (NSWISA) until May 2024 but stood down when he received a lifetime coaching ban from the US Centre for SafeSport, which found he had engaged in 'sexual misconduct involving a minor'. In the statement of claim, Kerry's lawyers say the finding by the US Centre for Safe Sport 'involved a female [in California] who was 17 years old when Kerry was 21'. The age of consent in California is 18. In NSW, it is 16. Since retiring from competition in 2022, Kerry had worked as a coach, including at Sydney's Macquarie Ice Rink, coaching several students to international competitions. The email to members included the sanction handed down by the US Centre for SafeSport, and said the association had concerns for the 'physical and mental health, safety and wellbeing of all members, and how this situation affects our skating community'. Kerry's lawyers say failing to include the girl's age in the email was a 'deliberate failure' of the association which knew 'that in NSW, and elsewhere in Australia, 'a minor' for the purposes of consent laws is a child 15 years old or younger'. After news broke of the US ban in Australian media, Kerry denied sexual misconduct allegations and said he was innocent.
