For the first time, the World Rugby Women’s Rankings will be used to determine the draw seedings and bands for the seven direct qualifiers in bands one to three, with the five teams to emerge from the qualification process to be placed into band three and four.

“We look forward to welcoming the world’s top women’s 15s players to New Zealand and fans around the world as we look to raise the bar for women’s rugby and women in rugby in line with our important and impactful 2017-25 Women in Rugby plan.”

Rugby World Cup 2021 Tournament Director Michelle Hooper said the tournament was now less than a year away and plans were ramping up.

“The official draw is another step on the journey towards kick-off, and the buzz is building. We can’t wait to welcome all 12 teams to Aotearoa New Zealand and showcase our manaakitanga to the world. The draw will determine who will play the first matches at Eden Park and Northland Events Centre which is an exciting prospect.”

iPhone 12 series will not support 5G in Dual-SIM mode

A leaked image from Apple’s Sales Web (ASW) page has surfaced which reveals utter shocking news about the connectivity of the just-launched iPhone 12 series. We all know that iPhone 12 series will be the first of its kind to feature 5G connectivity. iPhone 12 series are dual-SIM supported phones that can support dual-4G modes in the iPhone 11 series. But now the news that came from the leaked image is that though the iPhone 12 series has dual-SIM mode then also it will not support dual-5G at the same time on both SIM cards.

To make it simple, in dual-4G a phone can operate 4G connectivity simultaneously on both the SIM-cards without compromising any connectivity. But in the latest iPhone 12 series this feature will not be replaced with 5G connectivity. Users can only use 5G connectivity on one SIM at a time while the other card will be automatically switched to 4G connectivity, whereas the dual-4G will be supported in it. So, users will be able to insert one SIM and one eSIM but can only access 5G from one of them at a single time.

gsmarena 001 iPhone 12 series will not support 5G in Dual-SIM mode

This intel as being shared on r/verizon by user ctthrow1 and collected this FAQ from some documents exclusively meant for retailers and carriers. The document says, “When using two lines in Dual SIM mode, 5G data isn’t supported on either line and will fall back to 4G LTE. If customers are using eSIM only and are on a 5G-supported carrier and service plan, they’ll have 5G access. ” This clearly indicates what we explained in the above paragraph.

Apple can also update the settings via OTA updates before or by year-end. The company can also stick with this option only. This totally depends on the company what will they do in the future.

Bruno Fernandes will be leading Manchester United against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League tie

Manchester United are going to start their UEFA Champions League journey from today. They will face last season’s runners up Paris Saint-Germain tonight.

Manchester United has already confirmed their travelling squad to face the Ligue 1 champions. Manchester United captain Harry Maguire is out of the squad due to an injury. United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the pre-match press conference has confirmed that Bruno Fernandes will wear the Captain’s armband against Paris Saint-Germain.

Harry Maguire was criticized for his poor captaincy and form recently. Some fans suggested that Bruno should be given the Captain’s armband. United fans are so happy with the decision of their boss.

Bruno Fernandes was the captain of his previous club in his time at Sporting CP. He joined Manchester United last January. His brilliant performance from the first day in a United shirt made him one of the fan favourites at Old Trafford.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer announced this in the press conference but Bruno had no idea about this. He was also shocked after the news.

After the announcement yesterday, Bruno said, “I was not expecting this. I found out at the same time as you!”

“It is an honour and an important achievement for me. The captain is everyone – everyone needs to help, be a leader in their way.”

“I think I’m playing well in the last few months, but I have to improve and do better. I think I can do much better than before. I know my numbers are good, but I’m sure I will do better numbers and games than before.”

“We hope the players won’t be away for too long. Edinson needs a few more days training before the weekend, and hopefully Harry, Eric and Mason as well but we’re not sure about that”, he added.

A team like Manchester United always needs a captain who can lead from the front. Roy Keane, Nemanja Vidic, Wayne Rooney are examples of this. Bruno surely has the quality to lead from the front. Tonight we can see how Manchester United starts its UCL journey under the captaincy of their own ‘El Magnifico’.

Ronald Koeman: “Messi’s performances could be better”

Lionel Messi, arguably the greatest ever player to play this game is unfortunately not in the best of his form. He may not be in the twilight of his career but probably his age has taken a toll on him.

The Argentine superstar has scored just one goal in four appearances this campaign. On top of that, he put in a below-par performance in the defeat at Getafe last weekend.

The 33-year-old’s only goal of this season was a penalty against Villarreal. More alarmingly, he has scored just seven goals in 19 appearances since football resumed in Spain in June and out of the seven, four were penalties.

Messi has averaged close to a goal per game for much of the past decade, so it is certainly a matter of concern.

Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman said, as quoted by Sport: “It may be that Messi’s performance could be better at the moment, but he is happy, he wants to be team captain and is improving. He also had bad luck with the ball to the post and on the last play of the game. I have no doubt in his performance and we will see it in the next matches.”

Barcelona needs their star man in his best form right now as there are some very important fixtures coming up. The Catalans will play in the Champions League before hosting Real Madrid in this season’s first El Clasico this weekend.

Xiaomi follows Samsung to troll Apple’s iPhone 12 series

Exactly a week ago, on 13th October, Apple showcased its next-generation iPhones i.e. iPhone 12 series that comes with 5G technology along with other top-notch features. At the same time, Apple authority also declared that the users will get only the handset and a cable in the box of any iPhone 12 models. That means, there will be no power adapter and no earphones. Apple takes this decision to fulfil its pledge to become 100% carbon-free by 2030.

Just after the announcement, other smartphone industry leaders started trolling the Cupertino giant. Samsung was the first to express that, and now, the Chinese firm Xiaomi follows the same. It posted a clip on Twitter just on the next day of the iPhone 12 launch where a person is unboxing Mi 10T Pro to show the power adaptor inside. On top of that, in the caption, Xiaomi wrote, ” Don’t worry, we didn’t leave anything out of the box with #Mi10TPro.” Over 1 million people already watch the clip at the time of my writing.

This is not a new thing for Apple. It was trolled earlier when it removed the headphone jack from the iPhones. All the rivals trolled Apple, but a few months later they followed the same path. Even there was enough space to add the headphone jack inside some of the handsets, but the makers didn’t add that.

It’s fully admirable that Apple is trying to be fully carbon-free by 2030, but the other companies may take advantage of this strategy to generate revenue only, and surely, that will not be fair.

Premier League 2020-21: Matchday 5 review

Five matchdays in, the 20/21 season of the Premier League is turning out to be one of the most unpredictable editions of all time. Club football returned this weekend after a lengthy international break. And with it, returned the excitement and the controversy of the Premier League. 

Results

  • Everton 2-2 Liverpool
  • Chelsea 3-3 Southampton
  • Newcastle United 1-4 Manchester United 
  • Manchester City 1-0 Arsenal
  • Tottenham Hotspur 3-3 West Ham United 
  • Sheffield United 1-1 Fulham
  • Crystal Palace 1-1 Brighton 
  • Leicester City 0-1 Aston Villa 
  • West Brom 0-0 Burnley
  • Leeds United 0-1 Wolves

Match of the Week 

Everton 2-2 Liverpool

One of the most competitive Merseyside derbies in recent memory ended in both clubs sharing points at the final whistle. However, the awful VAR decision to rule out Jordan Henderson’s late goal to give Liverpool the win just showed how flawed the match officiating truly is. 

Add to that the horrendous tackle by Pickford on Virgil Van Dijk, and you have not one, but two good reasons as to why VAR is not working out.

Goals by Sadio Mane and Salah gave Liverpool something to be happy about. However, Michael Keane and Dominic Calvert-Lewin managed to score two headers to equalise on both occasions of Liverpool taking the lead. 

All in all, it was a great watch as neutral with plenty of chances, drama and excitement. 

Honorable Mention 

Spurs 3-3 West Ham United 

By the time the first half ended, watchers were placing bets on how many the Hammers would end up conceding at full time. 

However, it was a true game of two halves as West Ham not only managed to compose themselves defensively but also managed to pull 3 back in the last 15 minutes of the match.

Harry Kane was the best player from Tottenham, setting up Son’s first-minute opener and netting two for himself.

A great strike by Balbuena, an own goal by Davinson Sanchez and an absolute screamer from Manuel Lanzini saw the Hammers level things with Spurs in injury time to cap off a thrilling contest. 

Player of the Week

Timo Werner 

With two goals and an assist to his name, Werner is the player of the week despite being unable to come away with all three points at home. 

The first goal was a brilliant strike by Werner, as he managed to net the ball through a horde of defenders. However, the second goal from the German to completely take the keeper out was a thing of beauty.

Werner has finally opened his Premier League account with 2 goals to his name after five matches. 

Shockers of the Week

  • Jordan Pickford’s awful tackle six minutes into the Merseyside derby. 
  • VAR ruling out the winner for Liverpool. 
  • Richarlison earning a straight red in the final minutes of the derby.
  • Kepa Arrizabalaga reminding Frank Lampard exactly why Mendy is important, conceding three very poor goals. 
  • Davinson Sanchez’s own goal, which made it seem like the player had forgotten whose side he was on. 
  • Aston Villa being the only team with a perfect record as they beat Leicester 0-1 at home.

How can Liverpool cope without Virgil Van Dijk?

Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk is out for at least 7-8 months after a knock against Everton on Saturday. He may out of the remainder of the season as he has undergone knee surgery.

It will surely a great loss for the current Premier League champions. It will be a tough test for Klopp and his team to maintain their superiority without their main man in the backline.

How can Klopp deal with this situation?

  • Changing the formation:

Liverpool tends to play in a 4-3-3 formation with Roberto Firmino playing as a False 9. Midfielders also tend to get into the box while attacking.

Liverpool can use a 4-2-3-1 formation with a double pivot in the midfield to cover their defence in front.

  • Changing their playing style:

Liverpool always push their wing back to attack. Without Van Dijk that can be a risk.

  • Fabinho as a Centre Back:

Fabinho is one of the most trusted members of Klopp’s team. His defending ability, game reading, and attributes give Liverpool a big boost in the field.

Fabinho can replace Van Dijk in the backline for the rest of the season. He has played as a centre back as well this season in a league game and displayed a great performance. He can be a perfect replacement for the Reds in the back.

  • Trust your reserve:

Klopp always keeps his faith in every player of his team. Van Dijk’s absence will surely an issue for Liverpool. But Klopp is ready to keep faith on his reserves and will try to sort out the defensive problems as soon as possible.

Liverpool will start their Champions League campaign tomorrow against Ajax. We will get to know how will Klopp settles down without his main man.
