In Rugby Union, England's Red Roses won the WXV title with a hard fought 21-12 win over hosts Canada-and in the Premiership there were “Derby Weekend” wins for Sale, Bath, Bristol, Leicester and Quins. Kenyan Ruth Chepngetich set a new women's world record in the Chicago Marathon with her time of 2 hours 9 minutes and 57 seconds taking nearly 2 minutes off the previous record. Meanwhile there were records galore in England Men's team's first test in Pakistan as England racked up 823, to win by an innings and 47 runs in Multan. Joe Root's 262 helped him overtake Sir Alastair Cook as England's highest ever test run scorer.

But teams are concerned about potential teething problems after a raft of issues emerged following its use in the women's WXV competition in October.
