‘Yesterday I was seriously in shock & disbelief. British World Champion!’ @MarkCavendish

So here it is the moment Cavendish passes the finish line…

The Scrum Half, who is known for his exhuberance on the field, is said to be gutted to miss out. He was challenging for a first team spot with normal 1st choice Ben Youngs only just retuning from injury.

The injury occured during England’s defeat to Wales by 10 points in Cardiff on Saturday. Care has come off the bench in every match since the 6 Nations in 2010, where he lost his place at the end.

This will mean Richard Wigglesworth will step up to the plate as the reserve Scrum Half and Ben Youngs will be the undisputed key man in the Number 9 Shirt.

Toby Flood is also returning and plays with Youngs at Leicester, this crucial club partnership may mean Flood leap frogs Wilkinson into the Number 10 jersey.

Care tweeted: “Absolutely devastated about my injury but in the best hands for my op tomorrow.”

We wish him all the best and hope he makes a speedy recovery. For all the news on the England Rugby team and the full squad announcement on Monday follow us on Twitter @BetinternetLive.

Captain Lewis Moody will return after and injury ravaged year, and will surely slip straight into the starting along side Tom Croft line up despite a strong season from Stade Francais flanker James Haskell. Moody will attempt to prove his fitness against Ireland in Dublin in the last warm up game before the Argentina game in New Zealand.

Another crucial return is beastly front row forward Andrew Sheridan. The prop, who famously can bench press over 30kg more than anyone else in the England camp, is world class on his day and has out-scrummaged some of the greatest props in world rugby. However questions will be raised over his fitness and his match sharpness after a shoulder operation and a calf problem he picked up in the 6 Nations. Whether he starts or not may come down to the Dublin match.

Ben Youngs also returns after July’s knee surgery and will push Danny Care hard for his starting place. Youngs has been England’s first choice when fit but the training camp before the World Cup will be where he really has to prove himself.

Martin Johnson came out today and admitted that he pretty much knew his 30 man squad but is still not clear on very much of his 15 man starting line up.

With England currently at 11.0 decimal odds to win, they are surely a good outside bet at betinternet.com.

After losing to Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final last season, Manchester United will be looking for revenge when they meet their local rivals at Wembley on Sunday. Manchester United have had a superb pre-season in the States, winning all of their matches so far. Can Ferguson’s men lift the FA Community Shield aloft for a nineteenth time?

Manchester City on the other hand have gone from strength to strength under the wing of Roberto Mancini and have recently added some big named players to their squad. With the acquisition of defenders Stefan Savic and Gael Clichy and striker Sergio Aguero, do the Blues pose a big threat to the record Premier League Champions?

Who will start the English Premier League season on a high?

Woods put a statement on his official website saying – “Unfortunately, I’ve been advised that I should not play in the British Open”. Woods, a 14 time Major Winner, is now 17th in the World Rankings and has not looked at the same level as the likes of Westwood and McIlroy since problems in his personal life meant he took time out of the game last year.

Although many fans will be disappointed to miss watching the world’s richest sportsmen play, his game recently has not been anything like the old Woods that won all of those majors.

Woods has had a string of injuries since his last victory in 2008. He revealed he had been playing for a year with a torn knee ligament, he had a double break of his left tibia. He then had Achilles problems and reportedly underwent surgery for that as well.

He now will miss the latest big tournament with a side strain and also a tweak of the Achilles he sustained at the Masters.

To get all the best odds for the Open Championship at Sandwich go to betinternet.com.

The tournament has 12 entrants, the 10 teams that are from the CONMEBOL administrative region of world football and 2 invitees. This year they are Mexico and Costa Rica (who replaced Japan after they originally pulled out after the earthquake in the country, before being reinstated and then pulling out again after having troubles getting their European players released).

The Mexico team has been rocked by 2 disciplinary issues this year, the first when 5 players tested positive for a banned substance including the young, highly sort after, goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa. Then players from the current squad were caught having women in their hotel rooms in their recent warm up camp and have also been dismissed from the squad. However, they will be replaced and Mexico are still a team with a chance of challenging for the trophy.

However, most pundits find it hard to look beyond Brazil and Argentina. The big two have a selection of the world’s best players with names like Messi, Tevez, Robinho and Kaka, all playing key parts in their starting 11s.

Argentina, the hosts, have Columbia, Costa Rica and Bolivia in their group, whilst main rivals Brazil will play Paraguay, Ecuador and Venezuela. The final group sees top seed Uruguay face Chile, Peru and Mexico. With tournament layout does leave space for a spectacular Brazil – Argentina final.

However, Uruguay are also strong and have won the tournament many times in the past and should not be written off.

Whatever happens, betinternet will keep Facebook updated with all the latest news.

The American golfer announced on Twitter @TigerWoods – “Not playing in US Open. Very disappointed. Short-term frustration for long-term gain.”

On his website Woods said: “I am extremely disappointed that I won’t be playing in the U.S. Open, but it’s time for me to listen to my doctors and focus on the future,” Woods said. “I was hopeful that I could play, but if I did, I risk further damage to my left leg. My knee and Achilles tendon are not fully healed. I hope to be ready for AT&T National, the next two majors and the rest of the year.” (tigerwoods.com)

This is the first time Woods has missed a US Open since playing his first game in 1995.

“It’s been a frustrating and difficult year, but I’m committed to my long-term health,” Woods said. “I want to thank the fans for their encouragement and support. I am truly grateful and will be back playing when I can.” (tigerwoods.com)

Take a look at the cringeworthy clip if you dare –

The untimley death of the mere baby bird came when it got in the way of a practise shot and yes, even a British player can hit a tennis ball over 100 mph.

Jamie’s doubles partner Xavier Malisse must have been nervous during Thursday’s match when it was the young Scot’s turn to serve.
