What’s on the box

Rugby

Following the mass murder shootings in Christchurch, the Crusaders have been in the spotlight over whether they should change their name. It will be interesting to see how they respond to both the trauma and tragedy in their city as well as the debate around the polarising name. Knowing the ethos of the side, the Waratahs can expect an inspired performance in Sydney.

Waratahs v Crusaders, Sky Sport 1, tonight 9.40pm.

NRL

The Warriors cruised past the Bulldogs in round one and Wests Tigers did the same with a little more effort against Manly, making this an intriguing match-up — especially as it’s at Campbelltown, a tough venue for any team. Blake Green versus Benji Marshall in the veteran playmaker showdown will be crucial.

West Tigers v Warriors, Sky Sport 2, tomorrow 8pm.

Football

Euro 2020 qualifying is under way and there are some great group matches, starting with England against the Czech Republic this morning and tomorrow’s classic match-up between the Netherlands and Germany. A Dutch side built around the powerful Ajax club and featuring Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk will be looking to take advantage of a German side at a low ebb.

England v Czech Republic, Sky Sport 4, today 8.35am. Netherlands v Germany, Sky Sport 4, tomorrow 8.35am.

Golf

The LPGA has been in something of a hiatus the past month but returns with the Founders Cup. New Zealand’s Lydia Ko will be in action as she gears up for the first major of the season just around the corner.

Founders Cup, final round coverage, Sky Sport 3, Monday 11am.

Netball

The Central Pulse have made a flying start to the ANZ Premiership with four from four to set up a mouth-watering early-season top-of-the-table showdown with the defending champions, Southern Steel. The Pulse, having lost last year’s final against the Steel, will be keen to take a psychological edge at home.

Pulse v Steel, Sky Sport 1, Monday 7.30pm.
