Pulmonary embolism, 43-year-old woman dies • Imola Oggi

by archyw

Monza – A cardiac arrest in sleep caused, in all probability, by a pulmonary embolism. Silvia Casati passed away at dawn last Thursday, born in 1977, born and raised in the city and moved to Milan for some years with her husband and children.

As reported by an extensive newsstand report from today in the Giornale di Carate, now it will be the autopsy to shed light on the death of the 43-year-old woman, a graduate in Modern Literature with a film address, suddenly struck down in her sleep by a heart attack in her flat for two steps from the spiers of the Milan Cathedral.

Pulmonary embolism after the vaccine

According to the doctor, who signed the death declaration, it was a pulmonary embolism. Five days earlier, on June 4, the woman had received the first dose of Pfizer-BionTech vaccine. For the young age, but also to dispel any doubts about the correlation with the recent inoculation, investigations were arranged. https://primamonza.it

China is a global player, disputes supremacy with the US and the EU

by archyw
Damian Arias Matos.

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic.-The People’s Republic of China is on the way to becoming the world’s leading power, and is already a world actor that disputes the supremacy of the United States and the European Union (led by France and Germany).

This was stated by the retired Major General (PN) and a student of geopolitics, Damián Arias Matos, in his special section of the Acento TV program A Partir de Ahora.

He stressed that China has never been a warlike country or with a tendency to impose itself by violent methods, but given to trade. He recalled that the legendary navigator Zheng He, between 1405 and 1433, with three hundred ships and 30 thousand men, traveled across oceans and countries, but did not settle or conquer foreign lands.

He considered that the unification of the Chinese empire, in ancient times, and the revolution that in 1949 proclaimed the founding of the People’s Republic of China, under the leadership of Mao Zedong, are two fundamental moments in the long history of Asian potency.

He argued that, contrary to what many predicted in the 1970s, that Japan would be the country that would dispute the first place with the United States, as an economic power, it has been shown that the People’s Republic of China is the main competitor for first place.

The program Starting from Now, by Gustavo Olivo Peña, on Acento TV, is broadcast on the following channels 38 of Claro, 39 and 439 of Altice, 41 of Star Cable of Santiago de los Caballeros. Hours: 7, 8 and 11 in the MORNING; 4 AND 7 in the AFTERNOON, with repetitions in the EARLY MORNING schedules and summarizing the weekend. It can also be enjoyed on the AcentoTV.do and Acento.com.do portal, in addition to the Acento TV YouTube channel

Soccer – Italy after beating Switzerland in the European Championship round of 16 – Sport

by archyw

Rome (dpa) – Italy’s national players formed a jubilant circle around match winner Manuel Locatelli and then celebrated their early entry into the European Championship round of 16 together with their blissful fans.

With a new gala appearance in the 3-0 (1-0) against Switzerland, the Azzurri were the first team to buy the ticket for the knockout round and gave further nourishment to the Tifosi’s title dreams at the European Football Championship. The team of coach Roberto Mancini passed the first tournament endurance test brilliantly in front of 14,436 spectators in the Olympic Stadium in Rome and underpinned their ambitions for the second European Championship triumph after 1968. A brace from Locatelli (26th / 52nd minute) and a late goal from Ciro Immobile (89th) made the second win in the second group A match perfect.

Italians dominated the game

“We beat a strong opponent. It was a well-deserved win, we had a lot of chances to score,” said Italy coach Mancini. Locatelli, who had previously met in the selection dress, was particularly celebrated. “I can’t believe it. I’m thinking of my fiancée and my family right now,” said the midfielder, adding: “It was a great team effort.”

Italy have been unbeaten in 29 games and have won the last ten games to zero. The Squadra Azzurra, who will play against Wales (4 points) for group victory next Sunday, are hot contenders for the European Cup in this form. “We want to win this game too,” said Mancini. Switzerland, on the other hand, has to fear for the round of 16 after a point from two games and absolutely win the last group game against Turkey, which is still pointless.

As in the 3-0 opening win against Turkey, the Italians were there from the first minute and dominated the game. Although the Swiss opposed it in the early stages, coach Vladimir Petkovic’s team had nothing to offer offensively.

The Azzurri are completely different. Immobile had the first chance after ten minutes, but the ex-Dortmund headed the ball over the goal. Nine minutes later, captain Giorgio Chiellini poked the ball into the net after a corner out of the crowd, but the exuberant goal celebration was suddenly stopped by Bastian Dankert. The German video assistant had previously recognized a handball by Chiellini, which is why the Russian referee Sergej Karasew withdrew the hit.

For Chiellini it was the last action, because a little later the defensive veteran had to leave the pitch. For him came Francesco Acerbi. But that didn’t throw the hosts out of rhythm. On the contrary: after Domenico Berardi’s good preparatory work, Locatelli took a well-deserved lead. The goalscorer had initiated the goal with a dream pass to Berardi himself.

The rearing up of the confederates lasted only a short time

The Swiss tried to react, but couldn’t embarrass the four-time world champion. The Italians kept winning the ball early, so goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma never had to intervene in the first half. Rather, Lorenzo Insigne had the 2-0 on the foot, but Manuel Akanji from Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund saved with a head just before the line.

After the change, the Swiss, who only won two of the 15 finals in five European Championships, started a little more courageously. The Italians were now attacked well in their half and put at least a little pressure. But the rearing up of the confederates lasted only a short time. Locatelli’s first attack in the second half again made it 2-0. The midfielder from Sassuolo Calcio, who is being courted by Juventus Turin, hit the corner with a wonderful low shot from around 20 meters. Yann Sommer from Borussia Mönchengladbach in the goal of the Swiss was powerless.

Remarkable: The Squadra Azzurra did not rest on the comfortable two-goal cushion, but kept looking for the way forward. Berardi (65th) was close to the third goal, but his shot just missed the target. 60 seconds earlier, the Swiss had come dangerous for the first time in front of the Italian goal. Substitute Steven Zuber from Frankfurt failed because of the strongly reacting Donnarumma. Immobile, who had previously given away two major opportunities, provided the final point.

Novak Djokovic vs Stefanos Tsitsipas final, viral video, tennis news, boy gets racquet

by archyw

Angry tennis fans have accused the sport of shooting itself in the foot by taking unnecessary action over the best moment from Monday’s French Open men’s final.

Novak Djokovic took another step towards cementing his GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) status with an incredible five-sets win over Stefanos Tsitsipas to claim Grand Slam title No. 19. But the real highlight was a young fan’s reaction when the Serb gave him his racquet after the match.

The boy was overwhelmed with emotion, absolutely losing it as the cameras zoomed in.

“He was in my ear the entire match, basically, especially when I was two-sets-to-love down,” Djokovic said at his post-match press conference. “He was encouraging me, he was actually giving me tactics as well.

“He was coaching me, literally, and I found that very cute and very nice.

“To give the racquet to the best person was him, after the match, that was my gratitude to him sticking with me and supporting me.”

Footage of the exchange quickly went viral, receiving millions of views on social media. However, the French Tennis Federation (FFT) later pulled down the video from accounts who had shared it, citing a copyright infringement.

NFL star JJ Watt was one of many who spruiked the content, posting it to his 5.6 million followers, but had his video removed.

The decision has sparked anger within tennis circles, with many questioning why something that shows the best of what the sport has to offer would be erased.

Tennis analyst Matthew Willis tweeted: “These are accredited sports journalists/media trying to share an interesting thing that happened. How in the absolute f*** is this good for the sport or harmful for the copyright holder?”

Commentator Jose Morgado said the “FFT is quite disgraceful in that department”, calling it “unreal”.

French tennis journalist Carole Bouchard wrote: “This is insane. Don’t take down that video! What the hell. This was not a moment to flex tv rights! Don’t shoot that sport in the foot when it’s spreading beyond its borders. Like, Read The Room!”

American tennis great Andy Roddick was also up in arms. “We often can’t get out of our own way,” he tweeted.

Sports business reporter Darren Rovell added: “Congratulations to the French Tennis Federation and/or NBC, who requested that my video of the boy getting Djokovic’s racket be taken down. The video got 5.5 million views, more than any highlight from any match. Great for a struggling sport. But you guys protect your rights!”

The boy’s mum shared photos on Instagram of the adorable moment, saying it was “without doubt the best moment of Roland Garros and my son’s life”.

“A moment which will seriously stay in the memory forever,” she added, calling Djokovic a “true champion”.

Meanwhile, Djokovic has set his sights on the Golden Grand Slam of all four majors and the Olympic title, insisting “everything is possible”.

His win over Tsitsipas allowed him to become the first man in the Open era, and only third in history, to claim all four Grand Slam titles on multiple occasions. Now he has targeted being the third man to complete a calendar Grand Slam after Don Budge in 1937 and Rod Laver in 1962 and 1969.

On top of that, he also wants the Olympic gold medal to complete the Golden Grand Slam.

“Everything is possible. Definitely in my case I can say that what I’ve been through in my career, in my life, this journey has been terrific so far,” said Djokovic.

“I’ve achieved some things that a lot of people thought it would be not possible for me to achieve.

“So everything is possible, and I did put myself in a good position to go for the Golden Slam.”

The Golden Slam has never been achieved by a man while, in the women’s game, only Steffi Graf in 1988 has swept all four majors and Olympic gold in the same year.

Paraglider protests at Euro 2020 cause multiple injuries | Europe | Al Jazeera

by archyw

On Tuesday, before the start of the Euro 2020 match between France and Germany, a protester was injured when he entered the Allianz Arena on a paraglider. The injured are currently receiving treatment in the hospital.

A paraglider with the words “Abandon Oil” and “Green Peace” on the paraglider flew into the stadium.

The parachutist entered the stadium at a steep angle, seemed to trip over the cable used by the TV camera at the top of the stadium, then tried to control the paraglider and avoid the fans in the stands, and finally landed heavily on the far side of the stadium.

Greenpeace said in a statement on Tuesday night: “We sincerely apologize to the two injured, as well as the fans and players.”

French coach Didier Deschamps evaded the large pieces of debris from the accident, saying he “suffered a little bruise.”

UEFA, the governing body of European football, said in a statement on Tuesday: “This kind of ill-considered behavior may have very serious consequences for a large number of people participating in the game. Now several people who watched the game were injured and hospitalized. The legal authorities will Take the necessary action.”.

“UEFA and its partners are fully committed to hosting a sustainable Euro 2020 and have implemented many measures to offset carbon emissions.

“Fortunately, the progress of the game was not affected by such reckless and dangerous actions, but a few people were still injured.”

The German Greenpeace wrote on Twitter on Tuesday: “Hey @Volkswagen, it’s time to kick the oil away! #绿平安活动家对#German-French war sports sponsors protested and demanded: stop selling climate-damaging Diesel and gasoline cars! #2020 European Cup”.

England vs Croatia, Raheem Sterling, Gareth Southgate, Austria vs North Macedonia

by archyw

Raheem Sterling ignited England’s Euro 2020 campaign as the Manchester City forward’s clinical finish sealed a 1-0 win against Croatia in their Group D opener on Sunday.

Gareth Southgate’s side were struggling to break down Croatia until Sterling struck in the second half at sun-baked Wembley.

The 26-year-old’s first goal at a major tournament — in his 13th game — was the perfect riposte to critics who questioned Southgate’s decision to select him instead of Jack Grealish.

Southgate was also heavily criticised for the inclusion of midfielder Kalvin Phillips but he too played a starring role while starting Kieran Trippier out of position was another bold call.

“I was shocked by the inclusion of Trippier at left-back like most people but not in a doubting way because I don’t doubt the manager,” Gary Neville said on ITV.

“I think we’ve got an outstanding international manager who’s got unbelievable experience.

“I thought he managed that game unbelievably today. You talk about who the best player was, it might be Kalvin Phillips or Raheem Sterling but our biggest asset is our manager.

“He’s willing to make the unpopular decisions, ones that some of us ultimately, at times, don’t think he should make because he knows that group better than anyone.”

Sterling has endured a chequered relationship with England fans after being hounded following his tame performances at Euro 2016.

He also struggled to hold down a place with Premier League champions City this term, culminating in his lacklustre display in their Champions League final defeat against Chelsea.

Fins make history against Denmark! | 01:03

But, days after he was given an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List for his anti-racism campaigning, Sterling enjoyed a perfectly-timed moment of redemption.

“I always said if I played at Wembley at a major tournament I had to score. It’s great to finally do that,” said Sterling, who grew up close to the national stadium.

“There’s a lot of different reasons why I haven’t scored for my club and it’s totally irrelevant now. I’m here with England and I’m enjoying my football.

“Have I justified my selection? I’m trying. I’ve focused on myself and tried to come into the tournament with a clear head.”

In a rematch of the 2018 World Cup semi-final won by Croatia, England were hampered by a lack of cutting edge until Sterling came to the rescue.

Sterling’s winner eased the tension at Wembley and got fans bellowing ‘Football’s coming home’ in the hope England can emulate their run to the semi-finals when they hosted Euro 96, and maybe even win a major tournament for the first time since the 1966 World Cup.

“I’m so pleased for Raheem. He was dangerous all game. His goalscoring record suggests we should have faith in him and I think he was motivated to show that,” Southgate said.

In truth, this was a far from convincing performance, but Southgate will take heart from the way his team kept their nerve on a pressure-packed occasion.

“It’s lovely to have given our fans and our country a really enjoyable afternoon. The players dealt with the big occasion really well,” Southgate said.

Croatia boss Zlatko Dalic added: “We have lots of optimism. We are looking forward to our next games and we can still reach our objective of moving into the next round.”

37-YEAR OLD THE UNLIKELY HERO FOR AUSTRIA

Substitutes Michael Gregoritsch and Marko Arnautovic scored late goals as Austria sealed a 3-1 victory over major tournament debutants North Macedonia in their Group C opener at Euro 2020 on Sunday.

Stefan Lainer put the Austrians ahead early on in Bucharest, but 37-year-old captain Goran Pandev levelled before the half-hour mark to become the second-oldest scorer in Euro history and delight the vocal Macedonian fans.

But Gregoritsch diverted home the deciding goal 12 minutes from time and Arnautovic added a third to ensure Austria claimed their first-ever European Championship win and struck first blood in a group also containing the Netherlands and Ukraine, who meet in Amsterdam later in the day.

Austria next visit the Dutch on Thursday, while North Macedonia stay in the Romanian capital to face Ukraine.

After a bright start by Igor Angelovski’s Macedonians on Sunday, Austria struck against the run of play in the 18th minute as right-back Lainer met Marcel Sabitzer’s cross at the back post to volley past goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski.

Lainer celebrated by holding up a shirt with the words “Eriksen stay strong” after Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest in their game against Finland on Saturday.

It was the first time Austria had taken the lead in a European Championship game.

They quickly threatened a second goal as Sasa Kalajdzic turned Sabitzer’s pass too close to Dimitrievski.

But North Macedonia continued to press and levelled in the 28th minute as Austria goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann lost the ball as he slid out to collect it after some comical defending, and Pandev gleefully accepted the gift to slot into an empty net.

It was a record-extending 38th goal for the former Inter Milan forward for his country, making him the second-oldest player to net in the tournament after Austrian Ivica Vastic at the age of 38 against Poland in 2008.

Austria coach Franco Foda sent on Arnautovic and Gregoritsch as his side dominated the early stages of the second half, but North Macedonia remained a danger on the break and Boban Nikolov was denied on the hour mark by an onrushing Bachmann.

Minutes later it was Austria who almost forged ahead, but Gregoritsch’s header was excellently palmed away by Dimitrievski.

Neither side sat back to protect their point, but it was the underdogs who continued to look threatening and Ezgjan Alioski and Eljif Elmas both had efforts well blocked.

Austria’s quality shone through in the closing stages, though, as Gregoritsch nipped ahead of Dimitrievski to stab home David Alaba’s low cross.

In the 89th minute, Shanghai Port forward Arnautovic ran clear, rounded the goalkeeper and tapped in to give the scoreline a slightly flattering complexion.

Christian Eriksen is currently in the clinic after a heart collapse

The Danish national soccer player has to stay in hospital after his collapse, but is on the mend, according to his advisor. “We heard each other this morning. He was joking, he was in a good mood, he is fine,” said Martin Schoots of the “Gazzetta dello Sport” on Monday. “We all want to understand what happened to him, he also wants that: The doctors do thorough examinations, that takes time,” added Schoots. “His condition is the same as yesterday: stable and good,” said the Danish association spokesman Jakob Höyer on Monday morning in Elsinore. “In the course of the day new examinations are due. We were in contact with him yesterday and we have that today too.”

“He was happy because he saw how much love he had around him. He got news from all over the world,” said Schoots of his visit to the professional from Italian champions Inter Milan. “Half the world came forward, everyone was concerned,” said the advisor about the sympathy after the public collapse. “Christian doesn’t give up. He and his family want to thank everyone.” Eriksen will remain under observation in the hospital on Monday and “maybe Tuesday”. “Now he has to recover, his wife and parents are with him,” said Schoots. The midfielder is also following the Danish European Championship games: “In any case, he wants to support his team against Belgium as a fan.”

Denmark goalkeeper Schmeichel visits Christian Eriksen in the hospital

Denmark’s national goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel visited his team-mate Christian Eriksen in the hospital in Copenhagen on Sunday. This was confirmed by the 34-year-old keeper on Monday in several interviews in the Danes’ EM quarters in Elsinore. “I feel a lot better now than on Saturday. It was great to see Christian,” Schmeichel told Danish broadcaster TV2. “We talked about everything and nothing.”

Angle: Experts question the FDA for Alzheimer’s drug approval | Reuters

by archyw

[Reuters]— Alzheimer’s disease treatment “Aducanumab”, which was jointly developed by US pharmaceutical giant Biogen with Eisai, was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the first time in about 20 years. It became a new drug for.

On June 11, the U.S. drug giant Biogen co-developed with Eisai the Alzheimer’s disease treatment “Aducanumab”, which was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the first time in about 20 years for Alzheimer’s disease. It became a new drug. Taken in August 2020 at FDA headquarters in White Oak, Maryland, USA (2021 Reuters / Andrew Kelly)

However, experts warn that the FDA’s “fast-track approval system,” which allows the market to be put off by delaying the establishment of strong evidence, is facing the greatest crisis in history.

Aducanumab was approved based on evidence that it can reduce the harmful protein “amyloid beta” in the brain, which is considered to be the most likely cause of Alzheimer’s disease. It has not been clearly proven to have the effect of really slowing the progression of Alzheimer’s disease itself.

Under the accelerated approval system introduced in 1992, more than 250 projects have been approved so far. The system is mainly applied to rare diseases, that is, cases where the number of patients is small and effective treatments are not available. After approval, the FDA will require pharmaceutical companies to confirm the effect in additional clinical trials, and approval will be withdrawn if the effect cannot be confirmed.

However, in the case of aducanumab, accelerated approval is fundamentally different from previously applied cases in terms of potential patient numbers and costs borne by the healthcare system.

In addition, the FDA has now “broke through”, ignoring the opinion of the Expert Advisory Board. The advisory board has concluded that Biogen has not shown sufficient clinical efficacy, and three members have resigned to date in protest of the accelerated approval decision.

“The FDA’s decision is shaking the foundations of scientific procedures and methods,” said Dr. Jason Carrawish, co-director of the Penn Memory Center. Carla Wish is the person who worked on one of the clinical trials for aducanumab.

He said the FDA has made a voluntary decision and has not asked the advisory board to consider whether the amyloid beta-reducing effect of aducanumab could improve patient symptoms. “This is a scientifically, clinically and politically disturbing event,” he said.

With accelerated approval, Biogen can actually sell aducanumab and generate up to $ 10-50 billion in annual revenue until it completes the required additional clinical trials. According to the company, there are about 1.5 million early-stage Alzheimer’s disease patients in the United States who are suitable for treatment with aducanumab. By 2050, the Alzheimer’s Association estimates that the number of Alzheimer’s disease patients in the United States will more than double to around 13 million.

However, one of the FDA’s expert advisors, Professor Caleb Alexander of Johns Hopkins University (Public Health), emphasized that “no matter how great the unmet needs are, they cannot replace enough evidence.” ..

Meanwhile, Biogen’s principal investigator, Alfred Sandrock, argued that the FDA had made a conclusion after careful analysis of clinical trial results over the past two years. “I believe they have come to the right decision for the benefit of the American people,” he said.

Removal of amyloid beta has long been a target for Alzheimer’s disease drug development. However, in the past, no investigational drug was found to have a significant benefit to patients by slowing the rate of decline in cognitive and physical function through a reduction in amyloid beta.

In contrast, FDA Head of New Drugs, Dr. Peter Stein, told Reuters that aducanumab showed the clearest correlation to date between amyloid beta reduction and delayed patient cognitive decline, clinically. He explained that the above effectiveness can be foreseen.

However, some experts say it is uncertain whether removal of amyloid beta predicts clinical efficacy.

“It needs to be reviewed to operate the accelerated approval system in a way that is interpreted and used by the FDA in the first place,” said Carla Wish.

According to a report by the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER), a medical cost monitoring organization, nearly half of the new drugs that received rapid approval were officially approved, and the time to official approval. The median value is about 3 years. Eli Lilly’s treatment for malignant soft tissue sarcoma was eventually withdrawn, and Roche’s “Avastin” was also revoked for breast cancer treatment.

ICE also noted that many additional clinical trials take a long time to complete and the results are often ambiguous.

Biogen says additional clinical trials of aducanumab may take up to nine years. The FDA said the estimate was “conservative” and would support efforts to complete the trial in the shortest possible time.

The company expects the price of aducanumab to be very high at $ 56,000 a year. Nevertheless, patient groups are hoping that the FDA’s decisions will be evaluated and that R & D in this area be activated in the future to create ways to combine multiple drugs such as cancer and HIV to improve therapeutic efficacy. ing.

Waratahs record losing run as season ends in defeat to Chiefs, Wallabies, Lachie Swinton, Izaia Perese

by archyw

The Waratahs’ season from hell is over.

Their season was summed up in the stupid and needless cleanout from enforcer Lachie Swinton, who is now in danger of missing the three-Test series against France after being red carded in the final minutes against the Chiefs.

They have become just the second Australian Super Rugby team, after the Force failed to win a game from eight matches last year, to go through a season winless.

But unlike the Force, who were given a late SOS to re-join Australia’s four other Super Rugby sides three years after being culled, the Waratahs knew just was awaiting them and played 13 matches.

Their season came to an unceremonious end at the hands of the Chiefs, as winger Sean Wainui made history by becoming the first player in Super Rugby history to score five tries.

They join the Bulls (2002) and Lions (2010) as the two other Super Rugby sides to go through a season winless since the game turned professional in 1996.

Injuries have hurt the Waratahs.

The Waratahs resembled more of a hospital ward than a rugby club at season’s end.

Interim co-head coach Chris Whitaker was asked earlier in the week if he was glad the season was about to finish, or if he would prefer to battle on.

He simply said, “Mate, we couldn’t keep going. We haven’t got enough numbers.”

Wallabies bolter Izaia Perese is the newest member of the walking wounded, with the centre forced off early during the loss with a dislocated shoulder which is likely to see him miss the series against France.

But their season of doom goes well beyond the 20-odd players on the sidelines, with the Waratahs paying the price for years of failed list management and board turnover.

Waratahs CEO Paul Doorn was in the Brookvale stands standing alongside three of the walking wounded.

He might have been putting on a brave face, but he has a significant decision to make over the next fortnight as the Waratahs start their interviews for next year’s head coach.

The short-list has been narrowed down, but each passing week they are falling further and further behind the eight-ball in both recruitment and preparation for next year.

What was abundantly clear from the opening week of Super Rugby, well before they sacked their coach Rob Penney after five rounds, and until the last minute of action was that their defence is well below where it needs to be.

The Waratahs conceded 557 points at 42.8 per match.

No professional team can win with a defensive wall that has more holes than a termite infested fibro house.

The Waratahs fought right the way through until the death against the Chiefs.

It was testament of a side that played for one another.

But what it revealed was the glaring shortcomings in their squad, which was green in their playing squad as well as on the coaching team.

Given the heavy injury toll, it showed something on the commitment of the men on the park that the Waratahs only trailed 14-7 at half time.

Wainui scored two quick tries to expose the Waratahs out wide, before Mark Nawaqanitawase climbed high to score a spectacular try.

The talented winger scored another two tries inside the opening 10 minutes of the second half, before the Waratahs showed some more resistance.

Tom Florence interrupted Wainui’s tryscoring bonanza.

Then another brain explosion from Swinton saw the Wallabies back-rower sent off for direct contact at the breakdown.

Wainui then completed his historic night out by planting the ball just inside the touchline.

While the New Zealand winger will be laughing all the way back home across the ditch.

For the Waratahs, the review is just about to begin.

There are green shoots despite their year from hell.

They have an up-and-coming loose-head prop who will be a Wallaby for a decade in Angus Bell; their back-row is mobile; and they have a couple of exciting prospects at fly-half.

But the Waratahs need to find some starch in the tight-five, particularly at tight-head prop, in the second-row and some experience in the midfield.
