Great Rugby League and Rugby Union Players
Since rugby split into two codes, fans have argued whether League or Union is the best. Many players have crossed the divide, but not many were great in both sports.

Davis Cup in need of revamp
The 2 top rated Davis Cup teams the USA and defending champions Australia struggled home to 3-2 victories over Zimbabwe and Switzerland respectively. The Australian team had only won the title back in December when they routed an overmatched French team by 4-1. Earlier this month they came within 1 set of losing in the first round of this year's competition against the Swiss. This situation is unsatisfactory, and also provides little motivation for the top players after having to put in so much effort towards the Davis Cup in the previous year. The Davis Cup needs a revamp if it's to remain relevant and interesting to the viewing public.
