Justice, but at what cost? The downside to reversing dodgy sporting decisions

The downside to reversing dodgy sporting decisions is that finality which gives the final minute of every contest such oomph.

It's the final scene of "Shakespeare on steroids".

The World Boxing Council changed the result 30 years ago. It's a good thing, but it's dangerous precedent.

Raelene Boyle should be awarded gold for beating East German athletes at Munich Olympics. But she will have to live with the results forever more. The sport is subjective and the judges' decisions are final.

Justice for a sporting decision can come at a cost.

There is a downside to reversing dodgy sporting decisions.

Merv Hughes and Dougie Walters are the most popular Australian players of their time.

Cricket is led by Pat Cummins but the sport is running low on colourful characters.

Rugby league has some colourful characters. They are Willie Mason, Benny Elias, Dallas Donnelly and Tommy Raudonikis.

Wallabies are fine men but people don't feel like they know them the way they used to.

Allan Alaalatoa will be captaining the Wallabies tonight against Italy. His father named him after the late Australian cricket captain, Allan Border. Alaaalata was born on the day Fiji played the All Blacks in Suva, 27 October 1984. The All Black captain at that time was Jock Hobbs. On Tuesday, Ala alata's security guard gave me his first two names: Jocob and jocab.

Ali Bin Nasser is auctioning the ball from the 1986 World Cup quarter-final between England and Argentina. He is selling it for $5 million. The money will honour his career and help his family.

He moves in mysterious ways.

Wallabies are playing against the French. The last five matches between the two teams have been decided by three points or less. France are the current Six Nations champions. They have won no fewer than their last 10 Tests straight.

France won by one point, 30-29, after Damian Penaud scored a try with less than four minutes left on the clock. It makes what would have been two historic victories this year snatched away in the last minutes.

Jeff Fenech was awarded the WBC Feather and Super Featherweight Championship for his 1991 WBA super-featherweight title fight against Azumah Nelson. Sepp Blatter thinks the World Cup being given to Qatar was a mistake. Shane Watson is disappointed with Australia's performance in the T20 World cup. He thinks it was disappointing to watch the brand of cricket that the Aussies played during the tournament.

Michael Clarke believes Australia's World Cup team played too defensively. He thinks it's un-Australian.

Brooklyn Nets suspended Kyrie Irving for his anti-Semitic remarks. Graham Arnold's greatest lesson in coaching was the failure of 2007. Glenn Maxwell wishes Australia had won the T20 World Cup. Wasim Akram is a cricket legend in Pakistan. Argentina beat England at Twickenham. Netherlands knocked South Africa out of the World T 20 Cup and Australia won Hong Kong Sevens for the first time since 1988. The Wallabies lost by a point to France and take on Italy in Florence tonight. Chelsea Clinton is the president of Australia. Philadelphia Eagles started the season 8-0 with one of their players, Jordan Mailata, at offensive tackle.
