Ever wondered what would happen if Rugby players swapped their egg-shaped ball for a round one? And footballers vice- versa?

That's exactly what the squads of Arsenal and Saracens have been up to in this video., external Look out for Per Mertesacker claiming all the high balls he can get his hands on. I'd say there's a future there...

Harry, south London: Harry Kane's rise will see the fall of Danny Welbeck. Welbeck is not good enough to play out wide compared to other squad members, and now he has three or four strikers that will be ahead of him (Rooney, Sturridge, Kane and soon to be Danny Ings).

"What we have to put up with is a bit of play-acting, simulation," he said.

"Our lads are looking forward to the atmosphere. Most of our players playing at the top level are used to that pressure, used to playing good players, international players week in, week out."

Manager Dave Edmondson has called for calm following Bristol Academy's FA Cup exit and heavy Champions League loss.

The Vixens travel to Frankfurt for the second leg of their Champion League quarter-final on Sunday, having been beaten 5-0 by the Germans last week.

Three days after that defeat, Bristol suffered a 2-1 extra-time loss to Women's Super League Two side Everton in the fifth round of FA Women's Cup.

"We've spoken about not panicking after the first two games," Edmondson said.

Here's some more from Geraint Thomas, whose successful breakaway at the E3 Harelbeke saw him become the first ever Briton to win the cobbled 'semi-classic' one-day race earlier today.

"It was hard out there, I can't quite believe it," he told the Team Sky website., external

"This six-week period we're in from Paris-Nice to Paris-Roubaix is my big focus of the season. The way Paris-Nice finished was disappointing, but I felt good again at Milan-San Remo and to get the win now is really special."

Peter Ratcliffe: Former Aussie coach stating that KP should not return to an England team convinces me that he should. Form over coming months should be only factor that decides whether KP returns for England. I hope he gets a 1000 runs in May.

"I'll probably be chucking someone in the River Thames," said Froch, who will make his screen debut in a film called 'Once Upon a Time In London'.

The Nottingham fighter has consulted actors such as Samuel L Jackson for tips and said he will play a "tough guy or a villain" in the movie.

Hull KR release Ryan Bailey because of personal reasons after just one appearance for the club.

Bailey, 30, joined the club on a two-year deal in October after 14 years with Leeds Rhinos.

The former England international struggled with Achilles and hamstring injuries and his one appearance came in their defeat by Wakefield last month.

The club said they had released Bailey to allow him to "focus on matters off the field".

Former national team striker John Hartson says Wales' focus should be on avoiding defeat in their Euro 2016 qualifier against Israel on Saturday.

Chris Coleman's side are a point behind Israel, who have won all three of their qualifiers to lead Group B.

"I would take a point," ex-Arsenal striker Hartson told BBC Wales Sport.

"I don't think it's a bad result coming to Israel and they are in a fantastic moment of their own, top of the group. That's not me being negative that's me showing Israel a lot of respect."

Chris, Brighton: Danny Wellbeck is a great asset to England but he will have to step aside tonight. Harry Kane to start and score.

Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore defends top-flight clubs from criticism that they do not make enough of a financial contribution to English football as a whole.

Clubs have agreed to share at least £1bn of their record £5.136bn UK live TV rights deal with lower league sides and the grassroots game.

Scudamore told BBC Sport: "This is £50m a club they've promised. It is an awful lot of money for a club.

"There was quite a reaction to the £5bn announcement, quite a lot of negative reaction, which is very interesting given that it's a measure of the Premier League's popularity and success.

"So the clubs thought, right, let's make an early commitment and a big, strong, bold commitment. They are doing an enormous amount in this space and they don't get credit."

New Zealand pace bowler Tim Southee says his side are not be daunted by the prospect facing trans-Tasman rivals Australia in front of 100,000 fans in Sunday's World Cup final in Melbourne.

"We're not too worried about the size of the ground," Southee said.

"We're seen as the little brothers from across the ditch. We respect Australia, they're a quality side and they're not number one in the world for no reason.

"But I'm sure we've gained a bit of respect for the brand of cricket we've played over the last couple of years."

And continuing the theme of British cycling success, Team Sky's Ben Swift has won stage two of Settimana Coppi e Bartali on Friday to take the race lead.

He now holds an overall lead of 41 seconds over Croatian Matija Kvasina.

England striker Eniola Aluko says she's putting her career as a trainee solicitor on hold to focus on football.

Writing in her exclusive BBC Sport column, Aluko says: "Now I'm qualified, my plan is to put law on the backburner and give football my full attention. It coincides nicely with what is the biggest year of my football career."

Aluko is hoping to represent England in the Women's World Cup in Canada later this year.

Jon Evans: To say Kevin Pietersen returning would be detrimental is to say our cricket would get worse... I very much doubt that would be the case.

Mark Brayford: I was Mark Hughes' biggest critic. I didn't want him at all. But he's proved me wrong and I'm chuffed we've got him until 2018.

Steve Ashfield: Terrible opponent for Anthony Joshua. Gavern has lost last two fights and lost to Sprott who Joshua beat inside a round.
