Lynch, Rousey, and Flair appear on ESPN SportsCenter to discuss historic main event

The three main eventers of WrestleMania 35 – Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch, and Charlotte Flair – were all on ESPN SportsCenter today to discuss the historic match that will close out the show, becoming the first women ever to main event the biggest pay-per-view of the year in its 35-year history.
All three individuals sat next to each other as they discussed what this moment means to them respectively.
Becky said that she has been working obsessively on this since she was aged 15 and told one of her friends once that she would be main eventing WrestleMania one day. Charlotte explained how this is the pinnacle of the women’s evolution in the WWE and two years ago it might have sounded impossible that they would be the top billing of WrestleMania. Rousey said she was “expecting it” but was really happy when it was confirmed. She said when she came to the WWE a year ago her plan was to be part of the first-ever women’s main event at WrestleMania. Rousey thinks that they can effect real social change on how women view themselves.Click Here: crusaders rugby jerseys

Moussa (Koh-Lanta) : Ses retrouvailles en vidéo avec un aventurier mythique

Moussa est incontestablement l’un des candidats les plus emblématiques de Koh-Lanta. À l’image de Claude, que tout le monde s’arrache, il a participé trois fois au célèbre programme de TF1 présenté par Denis Brogniart. Les plus jeunes ne l’auront pas loupé en mars dernier lors de la dernière saison, mais les plus anciens, eux, se souviennent qu’il a déjà fait ses preuves en 2012, dans Koh-Lanta La Revanche des héros au Cambodge, où il avait terminé 8e de la compétition. Mais, son meilleur passage reste certainement celui de 2003 au Panama. À l’époque, Moussa n’avait que 22 ans et faisait ses premiers pas à la télévision. Dans Koh-Lanta Bocas Del Toro, il avait réussi à se hisser jusqu’à la troisième place du podium, échouant malheureusement lors de l’épreuve mythique des poteaux, juste avant la grande finale que remportaient ex-aequo Delphine et Isabelle à l’époque.

De longues années ont passé depuis, mais Moussa n’a rien oublié de cette première expérience, ni ses camarades. D’ailleurs, mardi 28 juillet 2020, le papa de deux enfants a retrouvé l’un de ses amis aventuriers, tout aussi incontournable que lui. Sur Instagram, il raconte : “Salut les machines ! Aujourd’hui, journée cheval en Camargue et regardez qui on a rencontré sur notre chemin… 17 ans après qui l’eut cru…“, a-t-il écrit en légende d’une vidéo où il apparaît au côté de… Moundir ! Sur les images, les amis semblent encore très complices et surtout ravis de se revoir dans la région où vit Moundir. En commentaires, leur duo a rappelé de bons souvenirs aux internautes. “Louuuuuuuuuuuurd !“, “Ça fait plaisir, les frérots, les vrais“, “Le meilleur duo pour la meilleure saison“, “Un de mes duos préférés de toutes les saisons confondues de Koh-Lanta !“, peut-on lire.

Upbeat Henderson hoping Ulster can ‘keep steering the ship in the right direction’

BEFORE THE SEASON began, Stuart McCloskey laughed when it was put to him that he was now one of the more experienced members of the Ulster squad at the age of 26.

At the same age, the same query is put to Iain Henderson. Only he takes a different approach.

“There’s a fair few new faces but I’ve been really impressed by everyone who’s come in,” he opines, opting to talk up the young lads making their mark than himself.

“Coming back into pre-season a few weeks after the Ireland tour, I was really impressed (with) how pre-season was running, and it stood to us the way guys were training and stayed true to it since I came back in, and it’s been great.”

It is no understatement to again state that Ulster are in a state of flux with a new coach having just arrived and a major change in terms of playing personnel to go along with him.

And yet Henderson remains the constant. Despite a lengthy delay in announcing his new contract with the IRFU last season, the lock did agree to another three years in Belfast, confirming his place as one of Ulster’s now longest serving players.

After a tough summer, which saw him only play one of Ireland’s three Tests against the Wallabies down under after picking up an injury against Munster late last season, he’s now back in the fold ready to make an impression.

It’s safe to say he’s been pleased so far.

“It’s definitely a positive change,” he says of the turnaround in playing staff, with the likes of Tommy Bowe, Andrew Trimble and Paul Marshall retiring and Charles Piutau departing for Bristol Bears.

“Those guys have been missed and will be missed, but like I said the young players and the new guys who have come in have stepped things up and really taken the bull by the horns in training.

That started last week against the Scarlets, whom Ulster eventually edged past 15-13 in their Guinness Pro14 opener, marking a winning start to the Dan McFarland era in Belfast.

Most pleasing was the number of young players on show, with the likes of Eric O’Sullivan, Adam McBurney and newest Academy inductee Angus Kernohan impressing.

But arguably the stand-out performer was Henderson, who popped up with four key lineout turnovers off Ken Owens, halting the visitors’ momentum at vital moments when they looked to threaten.

It’s something we’ve rarely seen from Henderson so far in his career. Usually thought of as a strong ball carrier first and foremost, this was one of the first times we’d seen him in a different role.

Understandably it drew comparisons to certain other second rows that Henderson has played alongside in his career, two giants of the game for both country and province.

“Those are two guys who ran the line-out extremely well,” says Henderson when compared to Paul O’Connell and Johann Muller.

“I feel at some stage, those guys aren’t going to be there for the entirety of everyone’s career, someone’s going to have to step into that role.

“The last couple of years that’s been Dev (Devin Toner), that was an automatic transition with Ireland, and it’s something that I’ve enjoyed learning and being able to practice, not only in training but in games as well.

Tonight [KO 7.35pm, eir Sport/Premier Sports], the focus turns to revenge against one of only two sides to walk away from Kingspan Stadium last season with an away win: Edinburgh.

The Scots proved to be something of a considerable thorn in Ulster’s side last season, winning in Belfast and then pipping them to the final play-off spot in Conference B as well.

Under Richard Cockerill they’ve found a hardened edge, and with a raft of new signings in at BT Murrayfield this season, they have a repeat appearance in the knockout stages in their sights, as well as top dog status in Scotland.

Last week didn’t go quite to plan, a 17-13 reverse in Swansea to the Ospreys, but the prospect of an important away win over conference rivals Ulster – in back-to-back seasons too – is a massive incentive.

And for Henderson, it’s a chance to set the record straight after Duncan Weir’s last-gasp drop goal gave Edinburgh all four points last year.

“I think it’s more frustrating in our memory, not against Edinburgh but against ourselves for not playing well and doing ourselves justice at home.

“We just need to make sure we relish these home games and put the pressure on, especially at this end of the year when the conditions are good and we can try and play the rugby we know we can play and get the wins we know we can get.

“Edinburgh are a good side, and I thought they were a bit unlucky last week, coming back later on in the game against the Ospreys, and that scoreline probably didn’t do them justice.

“I think they’re a real good side, they put us under serious pressure last year too, we know they’re a good side and they’ll be coming over here looking to right their wrong from last week.

“All we can do is stick to our game, believe in what we’ve been doing and continue drilling it.”
