Sporting Pics of the week: September 20

Starting with The Americas Cup, because that’s what it’s been all about this week.  We knew that Emirates Team New Zealand could go fast, but who knew that it could fly?

Remember when people did bunny ears behind someone for a photo?  And thought it was funny?  It’s been a while but here’s Manu Tuilagi getting himself into trouble during a visit to 10 Downing St.

The Otago Volts celebrating their qualification for the main draw of the Champions Trophy High-fiving tournament.

Also in cricket, and this didn’t get much publicity in NZ, but Zimbabwe won a cricket test during the week.  It was against Pakistan .

Here’s poetry in motion.  St Helens going for a try against Hull Kingston Rovers in the UK Super League.

Balewatch update.  Some thought the one team could not support both him and Ronaldo, and that egos may get in the way.  Not sure whether this picture settles that debate.

One thing has been revealed though; the new boy is getting fashion tips from the incumbent.

But this is even stranger.  Floyd Mayweather entering his title fight against Saul Alvarez flanked by Lil Wayne1 and, um, Justin Beiber.  To think some people think boxing is losing credibility.
