Sunday morning in Japan began with a palpable buzz after the Los Angeles Dodgers announced Shohei Ohtani would start Game 7 of the World Series.

Back in August, shortly before RTA in Japan's usual summer event, the group suddenly announced that Nintendo games would be pulled from the show, as Nintendo had claimed this represented "unauthorized use" of its titles. Since RTA in Japan was a "legal entity," it would have to "ask for permission in advance" to show Nintendo games.

The Toyota star, co-driven by Jonne Halttunen, clipped an armco barrier during a fast section of the stage, which caused significant damage to the left rear suspension of their GR Yaris Rally1 car. The pair were able to trundle through to the stage end, but dropped 2m22.6s in the process.

Ireland's next meeting with Japan after the World Cup shock of 2019 was another thrilling encounter that featured their slimmest winning margin in the fixture. The sides shared nine tries with Andy Farrell's side crossing five times to Japan's four in a rare summer Test at the Aviva Stadium.

Shohei Ohtani celebrated his second championship at the Dodgers parade by looking toward earning a third ring.

Toronto Blue Jays bench coach Don Mattingly has decided to step away from the team following its World Series loss.
