The Manchester derby will now take place on April 27 and see rivals ManU and Man City "come face-to-face under the floodlights" at Etihad Stadium. The original tie between the two sides "had to be rescheduled" as a result of ManU's English Football League Cup final clash with Southampton. The moving of the fixture will allow Man City "plenty of recovery time" following its FA Cup semifinal with Arsenal the Sunday prior to the match (London DAILY MAIL, 3/18).
Scotland is facing its "lowest crowd in more than a century" for the football match against Canada at Easter Road on Wednesday. The Scottish FA has only sold 5,000 tickets for the World Cup warm-up against the side "rated a lowly 117th in FIFA’s rankings." And although SFA is "expecting a minor lift in sales over the coming 48 hours," insiders admit it will "still struggle to hit even 7,000" in the 20,000-capacity ground. That would make it the worst attendance for a home Scotland game since 5,284 turned up for a match with Wales at Cappielow in 1902 (Scotland DAILY RECORD, 3/19).
Ireland has "again stopped a world record streak." England was denied "successive grand slams and a world record for successive Test match victories after going down 13-9 to Ireland in the final match of this year's Six Nations" (NEW ZEALAND HERALD, 3/20).
