Third test between Wallabies and British and Irish Lions delayed by lightning

SYDNEY (AP) — The third rugby test between Australia and the British and Irish Lions has been delayed by a severe lightning storm over Sydney on Saturday. Shortly after halftime with the Wallabies leading 8-0, and while play had been stopped for a serious head injury to Lions lock James Ryan, a match official entered the field and advised referee Nika Amashukeli to escort the players from the field. The big screen at Sydney's 90,000-seat Olympic Stadium displayed a message for spectators in rows 1 to 19 to immediately vacate their seats and seek cover on the lower concourses. Play was expected to resume at 9.50 p.m. local time. The visitors are 8-0 on their Australian tour and are seeking to be the first Lions squad to record an unbeaten tour since 1974. ___ AP rugby:

Marseille signs Brazilian winger Paixão from Feyenoord to boost attacking options

Ligue 1 club Marseille has bolstered its attack by signing Brazilian winger Igor Paixão from Feyenoord in a deal that could rise to 35 million euros ($40.6 million). The 25-year-old Paixão scored 18 goals in 47 games last season and was voted the Dutch player of the season. Marseille beat competition from newly promoted Premier League team Leeds to sign him. Marseille announced the deal late Friday without giving further details, but French media reports valued the deal at 30 million euros with an additional 5 million in performance-related bonuses. Marseille paid a club-record 32 million euros to Portuguese club Braga to sign forward Vitinha in early 2023. Vitinha failed to settle and scored only six goals in 43 games before being sold to Genoa. Paixão showed his full repertoire of skills during a Champions League game against AC Milan in February, scoring in a 1-0 win and giving the Milan defense a torrid time all game with his quickness. Marseille finished second in Ligue 1 last season behind Paris Saint-Germain and qualified directly for the Champions League. Marseille coach Roberto De Zerbi has made several moves in the transfer market this summer, including bringing back veteran striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Al-Qadsiah in the Saudi Pro League. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. The 36-year-old Aubameyang scored 21 goals for Al-Qadsiah last season, after having spent the 2023-24 campaign at Marseille — where he netted 30 goals overall and became a fan favorite in the southern port city. Attacking midfielder Angel Gomes joined from Lille and gritty central defender Facundo Medina arrived from Lens. The arrivals of Aubameyang and Paixão bring extra firepower to an attack that already features Mason Greenwood — who scored 21 league goals last season and Amine Gouiri. Marseille opens the new Ligue 1 season when it travels all the way up the country to face Brittany-based Rennes on Aug. 15. ___ AP soccer:
