Bafana Bafana head coach Pitso Mosimane has backed midfielder Bathusi Aubaas to come back stronger after picking up an injury against Eritrea. zeppelin.cool

South Africa cruised to a comfortable 5-0 hammering of Eritrea in their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations Group B qualifier.

Aubaas was named in the starting XI to replace the injured Teboho Mokoena, however, his time was cut short and lasted just 11 minutes before being forced off due to an injury.

The Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder will now miss South Africa’s international friendly against Egypt at the Cairo International Stadium in Cairo.

Aubaas was left in tears after breaking down again, but Mosimane has backed him to return stronger while admitting his absence leaves Bafana short of experienced options ahead of their friendly against Egypt.

“Well, Aubaas is an unfortunate player. I mean, Aubaas missed the World Cup because of an injury. Now, he was ready to come back to play, and again he broke down. Yeah, shame, man; he was crying in the dressing room,” said Mosimane.

“But we are there to support him and give him confidence. He’s a very good football player, and he lost his chance to play again because he missed the World Cup. He will soon be back. In the national team, we have patience for him.

“So, Teboho [Mokoena] is out with an injury, and Aubaas is also out with an injury. We are losing a lot of players in the midfield.

“However, this situation has given Brooklyn Poggenpoel a chance to play, and he performed very well. He played as if he has been playing all the time. We are now a little thin against Egypt in central midfield. So, we had to bring in Themba Zwane to play in the midfield because I wanted to take ‘Yaya’ [Sithole] out, as he’s the only experienced central midfielder we have left.

“We don’t have Teboho, we don’t have Thalente [Mbatha], we lost Jayden [Adams], and we don’t have Aubaas. So, it’s really a little bit unfortunate for us,” he concluded.

Steve Hansen has urged World Rugby to improve communication around refereeing decisions and make officials more accessible to the rugby public.

The former All Blacks coach’s comments follow criticism of Andrea Piardi’s performance in the Wallabies’ 42-38 win against the Springboks in Perth, during which the Italian referee showed four yellow cards to Australian players in the last 12 minutes.

Former Wallabies captain Michael Hooper subsequently suggested Piardi should not referee Australia again, arguing that such a decision would also protect the official following previous contentious Tests involving the Wallabies.

Speaking on the Rugby Unity podcast, Hansen agreed that greater consideration should be given to referee appointments but believes the wider issue lies with World Rugby.

“We need more transparency. More understanding of the why and the how, and more communication,” Hansen said.

“There’s not enough ability to communicate with the referees and build relationships. It’s really hard to bag someone you like – you don’t see too many people doing that. But it’s hard to like someone that you don’t know.”

Hansen also argued that rugby’s laws leave too much room for interpretation, making consistency difficult for officials.

“We are asking these guys to do probably the hardest thing in the game because the rules have got so much ambiguity around them,” he said. “They’re so inconsistent; the rules I’m talking about, not the refs.

“So that creates inconsistent referee decision-making within one game from one ref to the next ref. Now that’s not their fault. That’s because of how our game laws are set up.”

Hansen believes the lack of communication has contributed to a public perception that referees escape scrutiny.

“I think there is a sense among some people that they are protected because of that lack of communication and that lack of transparency, and they’re not,” he said.

“But it starts at the top. It starts with World Rugby, and they have to be held accountable for that, not the referees.”

Le choc entre la France et la Belgique, prévu lundi à 20h45 pour la quatrième journée de la Ligue des Nations, se disputera avec plusieurs absences importantes. Les deux sélections devront notamment revoir leur entrejeu après les avertissements reçus lors de la précédente journée.

Côté français, Dayot Upamecano ne pourra pas participer à cette rencontre. Le défenseur des Bleus a été expulsé vendredi face à l’Italie (1-1), après avoir reçu deux cartons jaunes. Son absence va obliger le sélectionneur français à modifier sa défense pour ce nouveau rendez-vous face aux Belges.

De Bruyne et Tielemans suspendus

La Belgique devra également se passer de deux joueurs majeurs. Kevin De Bruyne et Youri Tielemans ont tous les deux été avertis lors de la victoire des Diables Rouges contre la Turquie (3-0). Ces cartons entraînent leur suspension pour accumulation d’avertissements.

L’absence de De Bruyne constitue notamment un changement important dans l’organisation belge, lui qui reste l’un des principaux joueurs créatifs de la sélection. Tielemans, qui porte également le brassard de capitaine, manquera lui aussi ce rendez-vous.

Avec ces suspensions de part et d’autre, la rencontre de lundi s’annonce donc particulière. La France devra trouver une solution derrière après l’expulsion d’Upamecano, tandis que la Belgique devra composer sans deux de ses cadres au milieu de terrain.

Team Liquid have released Kamil “siuhy” Szkaradek into free agency, opening a vacancy in the organisation’s Counter-Strike 2 roster after a difficult 16-month tenure, according to Dust2.us.

The departure follows a July change in leadership, when Liquid benched siuhy and brought in Johnny “JT” Theodosiou as in-game leader. Liquid have not named a replacement for the Polish player in the report.

A difficult stint in Liquid’s starting five

siuhy initially joined Liquid in April 2025 on loan from MOUZ, taking charge as IGL after the organisation’s previous eras led by Casper “cadiaN” Møller and Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken. Despite arriving with promise from his time at MOUZ, he was unable to find a winning formula at Liquid.

The team’s best result during his tenure was a top-four finish at FISSURE Playground #2. Liquid did not reach the playoffs at any of the three Majors it contested during that spell and recorded a 5-11 record in games at CS2’s most important events.

His individual numbers also reflected a challenging run: siuhy finished his Liquid tenure with a 0.87 rating across 185 maps. The figures underline the scale of the reset that preceded his move into free agency.

Key figures from siuhy’s Liquid tenure

• Joined Liquid on loan from MOUZ: April 2025
• Benched and replaced as IGL by JT: July 2026
• Best result: top four at FISSURE Playground #2
• Major playoff appearances: none across three Majors
• Record at the most important CS2 events: 5-11
• Liquid rating: 0.87 across 185 maps

Liquid’s leadership change came after the organisation had struggled to convert its roster into consistent results, despite what Dust2.us described as several strong pieces around siuhy. The release concludes a process that began with his benching, rather than marking the first change to the team’s plans.

The move comes amid ongoing roster construction across Counter-Strike, with 100 Thieves’ Counter-Strike roster rebuild another example of an organisation reshaping its lineup. Player availability can also factor into those decisions, as seen in the wider discussion around s1mple’s move to BC.Game.

What comes next?

siuhy is now available to pursue a future team, while Liquid must address the open place left by his departure. No replacement or next tournament commitment was identified in the report, leaving the organisation’s next roster step unconfirmed.

Liquid have handled lineup changes across different esports titles, including the midOne roster vacancy in Dota 2. For Counter-Strike, the immediate confirmed picture is narrower: siuhy is a free agent, and Liquid have an open roster spot to resolve.
