Scotland forwards Richie Gray and Rory Darge are among Glasgow Warriors' replacements for Friday's European Challenge Cup final against Toulon.

George Horne again keeps Ali Price out at scrum-half while Domingo Miotti comes in for the banned Tom Jordan.

Hooker Fraser Brown is preferred to Johnny Matthews for the Dublin final.

Scott Cummings resumes his partnership with South African Du Preez in the second row while Tonga's Vailanu joins Scotland pair Matt Fagerson and Jack Dempsey - the tournament's top carrier - in the back row.

Huw Jones, a replacement for full-back Ollie Smith against Munster, is reunited with Scotland midfield partner Sione Tuipulotu in the centre with Stafford McDowall dropping to the bench.

Kyle Steyn leads the side from the wing with Sebastian Cancelliere and Smith completing the back three.

"This week's training has been highly competitive, with every player putting their hand up for selection and pushing each other forward," said head coach Franco Smith.

"Toulon will provide a stern test and they are a team that know how to play in finals rugby.

"We're excited for the challenge that lies in wait and we know we need to be at our best in Dublin."

Former Heineken Cup champions Toulon pair British and Irish Lions fly-half Dan Biggar with Baptiste Serin at half-back while South Africa's Cheslin Kolbe starts at full-back.

Their star-studded back row comprises former Scotland forward Cornell du Preez, former France captain Charles Ollivon and the retiring Sergio Parisse, while former France centre Mathieu Bastareaud is among the replacements.

Former Glasgow lock Brian Alainu'uese starts for French side.

England flanker Ben Curry is set to miss the World Cup after being ruled out for at least four months with a hamstring injury.

His club have confirmed that he will require surgery and expect him to be sidelined for four to six months.

The World Cup in France begins on 8 September.

"Gutted that my season is over like this but looking forward to supporting the lads over the next two weeks," Curry said on Instagram.

Curry's injury brings a premature end to a breakthrough season in which he has forced his way into the reckoning for a place in Steve Borthwick's England side.

He has won five caps since making his debut in 2021.

It also means Sale will be without him for the Premiership final against Saracens on 27 May.

They will also be without Dan du Preez, who will miss the game at Twickenham because of a dislocated shoulder.

The second round of the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs was perhaps less shocking than the first, with two division winners (the Vegas Golden Knights and Carolina Hurricanes) making it through, along with the Central Division's No. 2 seed Dallas Stars, and the Florida Panthers, whose Cinderella run continues after being the final team to qualify for the postseason.

We're now on to the conference final round, beginning tonight with Hurricanes-Panthers (8 p.m. ET, TNT) and Friday night with Golden Knights-Stars (8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN+).

Coventry City edged Michael Carrick's Middlesbrough on Wednesday to reach the Championship playoff final with a 1-0 aggregate victory in the semifinals.

Coventry will face Luton Town on May 27 for a place in next season's Premier League. Both sides were playing in England's fourth tier as recently as the 2017-18 season.

- Stream on ESPN+: LaLiga, Bundesliga, more (U.S.)

Coventry, who finished the regular season in fifth place and are looking to return to the Premier League for the first time since they were relegated in 2001, held fourth-placed Middlesbrough to a goalless draw in the first leg.

They can become the first team to go from the Premier League down to the fourth tier and back up to the top flight should they join Burnley and Sheffield United, who were promoted as Championship winners and runners-up.

Coventry came out of fourth-tier League Two via the playoffs in 2018 after one year and went on to win League One and reach the Championship two years later.

In January, businessman Doug King became the new owner of the club with the team sitting 15th in the table.

North Carolina transfer Caleb Love is no longer committed to Michigan and has reopened his recruitment, sources confirmed to ESPN on Wednesday.

Love committed to the Wolverines last month, but sources told ESPN there was an admissions issue related to credits transferring.

The St. Louis native now becomes the best available player in the men's basketball transfer portal. He initially chose Michigan over home-state Missouri.

A 6-foot-4 junior guard, Love averaged a career-high 16.7 points last season, shooting 37.8% from the field and contributing 3.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists.

The former five-star recruit boosted his stock during North Carolina's run to the national championship game in 2022, averaging 18.8 points in six NCAA tournament games. He scored 30 points and made six 3-pointers against UCLA in the Sweet 16, then had 28 points against Duke in the Final Four.

Instead of entering the NBA draft, Love returned to the Tar Heels for another season, alongside three other starters from the 2022 title-game team. But after opening the season ranked No. 1, North Carolina proceeded to finish 20-13 and miss the NCAA tournament.

Michigan has had a difficult offseason rebuilding its roster after losing starters Jett Howard and Kobe Bufkin to the NBA draft and star big man Hunter Dickinson to Kansas via the transfer portal. Coach Juwan Howard has landed two transfers -- Tray Jackson (Seton Hall) and Nimari Burnett (Alabama) -- this spring, but also recently hosted Toledo transfer RayJ Dennis.

247 Sports first reported Love's decommitment from the Wolverines.

Nick Kyrgios is forced to miss the French Open due to a foot injury sustained during the theft of his car and not because of a knee problem, his agent said Thursday.

Police said the Wimbledon finalist's mother was held up at gunpoint on May 1 by a suspect in Canberra, Australia, near Kyrgios' house, and his Tesla was stolen.

Kyrgios' agent, Daniel Horsfall, said the player injured himself during the "high-adrenaline rush of everything" that had happened during the robbery.

"With all the stuff that was going on, Nick lacerated the side of his left foot," Horsfall told Reuters. We don't know how. Basically, it's just set him back about 2½ weeks in terms of his loading schedule to get back on court for what we thought was going to be the Grand Slam."

A man was arrested in Canberra soon after the robbery, with Kyrgios assisting police by using an app on his phone to locate the car.

Horsfall said Kyrgios could not remember how the injury had happened but suggested he may have hurt himself while rushing through his house after hearing his mother in distress during the incident.

The laceration was under the left side of his foot near his pinkie toe, which had made training on court problematic.

"He couldn't slide, couldn't get on court because every time he put a shoe on it moved and it would reopen," Horsfall said, adding that Kyrgios' knee was in "fantastic shape" following surgery.

Kyrgios hasn't played a tournament since October after scans showed a cyst growing on his meniscus. He withdrew from the Australian Open in January, when he underwent surgery.

Horsfall said this latest injury to his foot has almost healed and Kyrgios would be able to start increasing his hours on court with a target of rejoining the tour for the grass season, including the Stuttgart tournament.

Kyrgios has not spoken publicly about the incident but said in a post on social media that he had not slept much and was "battling a little."

In addition to the French Open, Kyrgios has pulled out of an exhibition match against Holger Rune in Denmark.

The French Open, the second Grand Slam of the season, runs from May 28-June 11.

Reuters and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

World number one Iga Swiatek says she is waiting for "more info" on the thigh injury which forced her to retire from her Italian Open quarter-final against Elena Rybakina.

The reigning French Open champion hopes to be fit for this year's tournament, which begins on 28 May.

"The diagnostic is in progress," said Swiatek.

"More info in the following days."

The three-time major winner was in tears as she left the court for a medical timeout during the second-set tie-break against Kazakhstan's Rybakina, and returned with strapping on her right thigh.

Swiatek won the previous two Italian Opens and was on a 14-match winning streak in Rome.

Wimbledon champion and world number six Rybakina has now registered three wins over Swiatek this season.

In the semi-finals she will face Latvian 20th seed Jelena Ostapenko, who beat Spain's former world number two Paula Badosa 6-2 4-6 6-3, winning the first set in just 19 minutes.

Nick Kyrgios will miss the French Open because of a foot injury suffered during an alleged theft at his house, according to his agent.

Kyrgios, 28, has yet to play this year following knee surgery in January.

"With all the stuff that was going on, Nick lacerated the side of his left foot. We don't know how," his agent Daniel Horsfall told Reuters.

Horsfall suggested Kyrgios may have hurt himself while rushing through his house after hearing his mother in distress.

A man was later arrested in connection with the incident.

Outlining Kyrgios' discomfort, Horsfall added: "He couldn't slide, couldn't get on court because every time he put a shoe on it moved and it [the cut] would re-open..

"His knee, as far as we're concerned, is actually in fantastic shape, the surgery went well.

"His fitness is at a fantastic level. It was just when we got to the last point of that rehab, the on-court loading, this freak accident happened."

Horsfall added that the injury had set Kyrgios back "about two-and-a-half weeks".

Kyrgios tweeted that he was "only human" above a link to a story about his withdrawal from Roland Garros, where he has not played since 2017.

Horsfall added that Kyrgios was expected to be fit for the grass-court season, including Wimbledon where he lost in the final to Novak Djokovic last year.

The French Open takes place from 28 May-11 June.

World champion Ali Farag plays his first match since Chicago on Wednesday, with Iker Pajares Bernabeu hoping for another upset at the Manchester Open 2023.

Bernabeu faced France’s Gregoire Marche in one of the final clashes of the day and after losing the first game in no time at all, managed to recover and find his fighting spirit to dig deep and start to get in front of his opponent and dictate play.

Bernabeu ran through to 10-8 in the fourth game and converted at the first time of asking to take the match 3-1 to set up a second-round clash with Farag.

USA’s Todd Harrity scored the other upset on day one, while wildcard Finnlay Withington took the first game off Egypt’s Omar Mosaad before falling 3-1.

The crowd goes wild for the wildcard Finn ?

Harrity needed just 28 minutes to defeat India’s Ramit Tandon to book a place in the next round. Harrity moved the ball with great precision into all four corners and tested the movement of Tandon early in the match. Tandon looked to be carrying a slight injury which prohibited his movements to the front corners enabling Harrity to win in straight games.

There were no upsets in the women’s draw with the closest matches being won by Egyptian duo Farida Mohamed and Nada Abbas who both came through in four games against English pair Lucy Turmel and Katie Malliff. Malaysia’s Sivasangari Subramaniam also needed four games to defeat South Africa’s Alexandra Fuller.
