Scoop Images: Brumbies/Reds Bruiser

Tuesday, 22 May 2001, 4:14 pm
Article: Photographer Mark Graham

The brutal story of the ACT Brumbies 30-6 Super 12 semi-final victory over the Queensland Reds at Bruce Stadium, in pictures.

The modern-day gladiatorial encounter saw Brumbies centre Stirling Mortlock leave the field with a dislocated shoulder and Reds goal kicker Elton Flatley stretchered off after taking a heavy blow while tackling.

Brumbies flanker Owen Finegan was sin-binned for stomping on the head of Reds hooker Michael Foley, and a five week ban will see him miss the final against the Sharks along with the injured Mortlock, another casualty of Saturday’s hard fought win.

Binoy Kampmark: Frankfurt Airport - A Special Kind Of Loathing

Instead of steely no-nonsense efficiency, we see gross lethargy in moving people across terminals. Instead of promptitude in offering advice to those desperately in need of it, we get inconsistent messages, errors and utterances of sheer ignorance. This is the message from Frankfurt Airport, one of the industrialised world’s worst marked and governed aviation hubs.

Ramzy Baroud: Gaza's Unbreakable Resistance - A Historical Perspective On The War And Its Aftermath

Far from being merely an academic concept, the long legacy of resistance against injustice has shaped the collective mindset of the Palestinian population in Gaza over the years.
