Sport24.co.za | World Rugby scraps controversial Nations Championship plans

You Need Posted on by

Cape Town – World Rugby has scrapped controversial plans to introduce a Nations Championship saying that resistance to the idea had brought about their decision.

Rugby’s governing body announced their intention to introduce the concept in a statement in March this year, saying that the championship would comprise a 12 team league without smaller nations like Fiji, Samoa and Tonga.

But on Wednesday, they back tracked on their decision saying they “undertook this important project with the best interests of the global game at heart”.

“Despite strong progress in collaboration with unions, competition owners and International rugby players, including full engagement on the detailed process of financial due diligence, a lack of consensus on key issues, particularly the timing and format of promotion and relegation, left World Rugby with no alternative but to discontinue the project,” continued the statement.

World Rugby Chairman Sir Bill Beaumont added: “World Rugby undertook this important project with the best interests of the global game at heart in line with our vision to grow the sport as a game for all. While we are naturally disappointed that a unanimous position on the Nations Championship could not be achieved among our unions, we remain fully committed to exploring alternative ways to enhance the meaning, value and opportunity of international rugby for the betterment of all unions.

“This includes our continued commitment to competition and investment opportunities for emerging nations to increase the competitiveness of the international game with a view to possible Rugby World Cup expansion in 2027.

Beaumont thanked all stakeholders for their feedback regarding the proposed tournament.

“I would like to thank all stakeholders for their detailed consideration and engagement, World Rugby’s executive team for their hard work and Infront Sports and Media for their full and ongoing support of our vision to grow rugby’s global footprint.”

Heat Stroke Vs. Heat Exhaustion—A Doctor Explains the Difference

You Need Posted on by

Your body is like a thermostat: It's constantly working to regulate your temperature, making sure you don't get too hot or too cold. It usually does a pretty good job of staying as close to 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit as possible (obviously way higher than the thermostat in your home), but on particularly hot and humid days, it's possible that it could malfunction. 

When that number outside rises, your body has to work extra hard to maintain a healthy internal temperature, which can make it go a bit haywire, potentially resulting in heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Heat-related illnesses usually strike people who are doing physical activity outdoors, the elderly, and those on medications that increase their sensitivity to high temperatures. But you don’t have to be in a high risk category to suffer from these major summer health hazards. 

We asked a doctor to explain the difference between heat stroke and heat exhaustion, and how you can recognize the warning signs of each. 

RELATED: 13 Heat Exhaustion Symptoms to Look Out for This Summer

What is heat exhaustion? 

Heat exhaustion occurs when the body’s core temperature is less than 104 degrees Fahrenheit, but blood pressure is low and the heart isn't pumping blood as efficiently as usual, Peter Shearer, MD, emergency physician and chief medical officer at Mount Sinai Brooklyn, tells Health. 

Symptoms of heat exhaustion include heavy sweating, cold skin, fast but weak pulse, nausea, vomiting, muscle cramps, dizziness, headache, weakness, and fainting. "Your body is having a normal response to an abnormal situation," Dr. Shearer says. 

If you think you might have heat exhaustion, move to a cool place, take off as many pieces of clothing as you can, put cool wet cloths on your body or take a cool bath, and sip water. "Many people with heat exhaustion don't need to go to the hospital," Dr. Shearer says. However, if you're throwing up, your symptoms are getting worse, or your symptoms last more than an hour, get medical help. 

Heat exhaustion doesn't necessarily lead to heat stroke, but if you don't address your symptoms, it certainly could. 

RELATED: What Causes Dehydration? Here’s What You Need to Know

What is heat stroke? 

Heat stroke is a more severe form of heat illness. In fact, it’s a medical emergency. It occurs when your body temperature rises to a point (usually above 104 degrees Fahrenheit) where the central nervous system malfunctions and the body loses the ability to thermoregulate. In this case, "your body responds abnormally to an abnormal situation," Dr. Shearer says. 

Symptoms to be aware of include hot and dry skin, fast and strong pulse, headache, dizziness, nausea, confusion, and loss of consciousness. 

Anyone experiencing heat stroke should get to a hospital right away. If not treated promptly, the extreme body temperature can cause cell death, resulting in permanent organ damage. 

Dr. Shearer says the body temperature needs to be lowered as quickly as possible, so until the person gets to the hospital, they should move to a cool place, remove clothing, sit by a fan, and apply cool cloths. Doctors may treat heat stroke by immersing the patient in cold water, using cooling blankets and ice packs, and administering IV fluids to rehydrate the body.

RELATED: 12 Reasons Why Dehydration Is Bad for Your Body

How can I prevent heat illness?

First things first, be sure to drink a lot of water when doing physical activity in the heat. If you notice your urine is a dark yellow or your muscles start to cramp, you need to be drinking more fluids, Dr. Shearer says. 

You should also wear loose and lightweight clothing, apply sunscreen generously (sunburn affects your body's ability to cool itself), be aware of any medications you're taking that increase your sensitivity to high temperatures, try to exercise in the morning or evening to avoid peak heat, and refrain from doing physical activity on the hottest days of summer.

News24.com | DA MP Phumzile van Damme throws punch ‘in self-defence’, Waterfront probing ‘race row’

You Need Posted on by

The V&A Waterfront in Cape Town is investigating an incident after DA MP Phumzile van Damme posted about an alleged racist ordeal at the popular tourist destination on Tuesday.

In a video on Twitter, van Damme explained what happened in her view, saying she was standing in a queue when she had a quarrel with the mother of a family at one of the supermarkets. The mother allegedly told her she would “push [her] aside”.

“Then when I went out, she was standing there with her family in a threatening manner. And I went to her and said, ‘why are you looking at me in a threatening manner?’ Then she said, ‘it’s because you’re black’.”

At this point, her voice becomes emotional.

Van Damme said the incident resulted in her punching a young man “in self-defence”, after he came into her space and allegedly said “voetsek you black” and threw her phone on the ground.

She shared her frustration with the way a manager from the Waterfront dealt with her complaint.

“Management of @VandAWaterfront if you’re going to allow racism & racists on your premisis [sic], please announce it to all. I will not stand for anyone’s racism towards me or anyone. And don’t send me some PR clichéd response either, ACTION,” she tweeted.

She shared that the correct thing would have been for the manager to take her details and apologise for what happened. She asked that the centre ban the family from the premises.

In response, Waterfront spokesperson Donald Kau said they had noted her tweets and “are engaging with her directly on this issue, as well as with the security manager involved to get a full account of the incident”.

Kau said they were also reviewing video footage of the alleged incident.

“We do not tolerate any act of racism at the V&A Waterfront, an environment which daily sees thousands of visitors from all walks of life, from all over the country, and all over the world, enjoying its facilities,” said Kau.

“We would ban anyone who displays racist behaviour on the property, with immediate effect.”
