ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Angels have extended their lease at Angel Stadium through 2032.

The team and the city of Anaheim, which owns the stadium, announced the decision Wednesday to extend the Angels' stay at the ballpark they have called home since 1966.

The team's current lease runs through 2029, but includes three three-year extensions that will keep the Halos in the stadium through 2038 if exercised.

"We are excited to announce that we have extended our lease securing the Big A as the home of Angels Baseball into the next decade," Angels spokesperson Marie Garvey said. "As we prepare for our 60th season in Anaheim, we wanted our fans and community partners to know that Angels Baseball and its foundation remain committed to being an active part of this city and region."

Angel Stadium is the fourth-oldest stadium currently in use in the majors. Just like the older Fenway Park, Wrigley Field and Dodger Stadium, the Angels' Orange County home has undergone extensive renovations in the decades since its opening.

The Angels and the city share revenue from ticket sales, parking and other events held at the ballpark, which was known as Anaheim Stadium for its first 32 years of existence.

Angels owner Arte Moreno has spoken for years of his desire to buy Angel Stadium and the surrounding land, likely building a new stadium and developing the parking lots. The city approved a $320 million sale to Moreno in 2020, but the deal collapsed in 2022 amid a corruption investigation of Anaheim Mayor Harry Sidhu, who resigned.

Just across Katella Avenue from Angel Stadium, Anaheim Ducks owner Henry Samueli is well into construction on OCVibe, a 100-acre entertainment district with extensive commercial and residential development. The reported $4 billion project will soon surround the NHL team's Honda Center, which is also owned by the city.

While the Angels' long-term future is still theoretically up in the air, the current extension acknowledges the obvious unlikelihood of Moreno building another stadium within the next four years.

"The extension is not the result of any long-term discussions between the team and the city, and there are no long-term lease or other talks underway," the city said in a statement.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Outfielder Harrison Bader and the Minnesota Twins have agreed to a one-year contract with a mutual option for 2026, according to multiple reports.

A Gold Glove winner for St. Louis in 2021, Bader will be playing for his fifth team in five seasons.

He hit .236 with 12 homers, 51 RBI and 17 stolen bases in 25 attempts for the New York Mets last year. He was limited to just two postseason starts in 12 games.

Bader is expected to provide an experienced right-handed bat off the bench and excellent defense in the outfield that can keep the Twins from too much of a drop-off in the field when Byron Buxton needs a break.

Bader has spent most of his time in center field but also is capable of playing in the corners. He would fill a role similar to Michael A. Taylor in 2023, one the Twins hoped to rely on Manny Margot for last year, but Margot struggled and was not re-signed.

Bader has a .242 average with 71 homers, 268 RBI and 94 steals in 120 attempts for the Cardinals (2017-22), New York Yankees (2022-23), Cincinnati (2023) and the Mets, who signed the New York native to a $10.5 million, one-year deal.

Injury doubts Mack Hansen and Finlay Bealham remain in contention to feature in Ireland's Six Nations game against Scotland on Sunday, but Tadhg Furlong and Joe McCarthy look set to again be unavailable.

Winger Hansen, 26, left the field in the first half of Saturday's win over England as a blood substitution after sustaining a cut knee though he did return to finish the victory.

Tight-head prop Bealham, meanwhile, had an ankle injury following the England game but scrum coach John Fogarty said that the Connacht pair "looked good" in training on Wednesday morning.

"They trained just now and it looks positive for both of them. They took part in the full session," said Fogarty.

The news was less positive concerning British and Irish Lions tight-head prop Furlong and lock McCarthy with Fogarty saying the Murrayfield contest is likely to "come too soon" for the Leinster duo.

Furlong missed the England game because of a calf injury with concussion ruling McCarthy out of the Aviva Stadium contest.

Ireland are already short of options for the number three jersey given Furlong's injury and with Ulster's Tom O'Toole serving the last match of a six-game ban this weekend.

Bealham was replaced for the final 21 minutes of the England game by Tom Clarkson.

Scotland must harness the "emotional intensity" of trying to topple Ireland for the first time in eight years when the sides meet in the Six Nations on Sunday, according to Irish legend Gordon D'Arcy.

The Scots have won just one of their past 15 matches against Ireland, in 2017 under Vern Cotter, and have lost 10 in a row.

Gregor Townsend's side opened their campaign with a bonus-point win over Italy at Murrayfield, with Ireland doing likewise against England in Dublin.

D'Arcy says Scotland need to use the pain of that long winless run to fuel a big performance.

"The Scottish team talk this week, it writes itself, doesn't it?" D'Arcy told the BBC's Scotland Rugby Podcast.

"It's beautifully simple and it's win at any cost.

"Ireland will not have the same level of emotional intensity for this match as Scotland will have. If Scotland don't find a way to harness that and get this one performance out of them, that will be disappointing.

"Ireland, when you've beaten a team X amount of times in recent years, you can't get everybody in and go, 'we hate them, but we beat them last year'. So you can't really have that same level of hatred.

"So the motivation for Ireland has to be way more dispassionate and way more clinical and almost methodical. What did Dennis Leamy call Leinster? Boringly efficient. That's the type of performance that Ireland need."

Massy isn't Paris.

Not for the tourists, who stay central in search of golden-hour boulevards, bakeries and Breton stripes.

Not for the locals either, who distance themselves from the city's pretensions by describing themselves as Massicois, rather than Parisians.

But, in reality, they are too close to be anything but.

A 40-minute train ride from the sights, Massy is one of the banlieues that ring the French capital.

A satellite limbo town, it is part of Paris' sprawl, but left out of the sell made around the world.

What is for certain in these suburbs, though, is football's dominance.

As you walk up from the station, through Massy's gauntlet of squat apartment blocks, you pass youngsters wearing kits from around the world - Arsenal, Juventus and Real Madrid. The letters P, S and G are spray-painted on to spare surfaces.

It is not surprising. Paris is perhaps the most productive city in the world in forming football talent.

But Paris is not entirely pre-occupied by football.

One rugby club in particular still holds out.

Massy, formed in 1971, are in the third tier, attracting crowds of around 2,500 to a compact stadium. Their impact, though, is oversized.

In the clubhouse, small, framed photos line the walls. The subject of each wears a blue France shirt. Bastareaud stares down from one.

Cameron Woki - a star of the 2022 Grand Slam team - is two spots along. Sekou Macalou, part of the squad at the 2023 Rugby World Cup, is there. Yacouba Camara, who played at Japan 2019, is too. Jordan Joseph, named as the best young player in the world in 2018 and now a fully-fledged international, is another.

It is an extraordinary wellspring of talent. Not least for its location.

In the 1970s, the French national team was made up almost entirely of players south of the Loire River, drawing on the sport's small-town heartlands.

By the 1990s, that watershed was less distinct.

Jimmy Marlu, a product of Massy, was one of the first Parisians to break into the France team. Serge Betsen, also born and brought up in the capital, was of the same era., external

Since the turn of the century, though, the trickle has grown to a torrent, with around 50 Parisian players, the vast majority with family backgrounds outside mainland France, having represented France's men's team.

France have not picked a team without a player trained at Massy for the past five years.

More than 200 players have come from the club to represent their country at age-grade, sevens and senior level, both men's and women's.

Leo Barre is one of the latest.

The 22-year-old full-back, who scored a try in last year's 33-31 win over England, comes from the wealthy Versailles area, but would make the 30-minute trip to Massy as a 12-year-old, drawn by its successful youth scheme and values.

"It was incredible to arrive at the club like this and see the number of international players that have come through it," he says. "But also to see the atmosphere in the dressing room. There was no difference - whatever colour, origin, or social class, we were all the same.

"We were all playing for the same shirt, for Massy."

The disciplinary committee determined that the mid-range entry point of a six week/match suspension was appropriate for Ntamack's foul play.

After taking into account his guilty plea and previous disciplinary record, that punishment was reduced by 50%.

Ntamack was making his first international appearance for more than a year against Wales.

A serious knee injury caused the Toulouse star to miss a home Rugby World Cup in 2023 and last year's Six Nations, while he did not feature in his country's autumn internationals because of a calf problem.

After Saturday's game at Twickenham, France's remaining Six Nations fixtures are against Italy (23 February), Ireland (8 March) and Scotland (15 March).

France travel to Twickenham (16:45 GMT kick-off) having thrashed Wales in round one, buoyed by a 53-10 victory in this fixture two years ago.

Meanwhile, England's loss in Dublin leaves Steve Borthwick's side on a record seven-match losing run against tier one nations.

"We are the England rugby team and we want to win and we know the expectations that come with it," senior coach Richard Wigglesworth told the Rugby Union Weekly podcast.

"I have no problem with people wanting to see more wins because that is what I want and what we are all working towards.

"The outcome that we want is to win, so we are not avoiding that."

England are also set to make changes in the back row and in the back three, with Tom Willis understood to be in line for a first Test start at number eight.

Wigglesworth says the coaches need to weigh up consistent selection with picking the right team to beat France.

"What England did for many, many years was chop and change the team, so you end up with low levels of cohesion and low levels of trust in the coaches," he said.

"And that didn't work for a long time.

"We know what hasn't worked in the past and we don't want to be panicked into making the same mistake.

"But we have to weigh up all those things and get the right team on the field."
