tenable is it for that pairing to continue as a team

Australia have claimed the inaugural womens rugby sevens gold medal with a 24-17 victory over New Zealand in the final in Rio.The Australians entered the womens competition as raging gold medal favourites and they didnt disappoint despite a nervy start in the final.The Kiwis started the stronger as they kept Australia inside their own half with some robust defence. The pressure eventually told as Kayla McAllister forced her way over to score out wide after four minutes.Australia looked to hit back immediately and they very nearly did so as Emma Tonegato broke free deep inside New Zealand territory. The Aussie flyer was cut down in a fine covering tackle, but she would not be denied a short while later as she crossed out wide. There looked to be some doubt about her grounding of the ball, but the referee and her assistants awarded the try after a brief consultation.The Aussies had the momentum from there and they would go into halftime at 10-5 up after New Zealands Portia Woodman was sent to the Sin bin for a deliberate knock down. Evania Pelite then rubbed salt into the wound as she raced to the corner to give the Pearls their five-point advantage.The Australians were first to score after the break as Ellia Green finished off a sweeping move to extend the lead to 17-5 after the conversion was successful.Charlotte Caslick then put the game beyond doubt as she took a quick tap and had too much speed for the New Zealand defence.McAlister crossed for her second and then Portia Woodman added another consolation try for New Zealand, but the damage had already been done with Australia claiming trans-Tasman bragging rights in their first Olympic rugby showdown.

Red Bull boss Christian Horner says Mercedes must consider if its current driver line-up is tenable in the long term after another collision between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg in Austria.Hamilton won in Spielberg despite a last-lap clash with teammate Rosberg, who had been leading the race but had to settle for fourth due to damage from the incident. The collision nearly elevated Max Verstappen to a victory in a scenario which would have been similar to his maiden win in Barcelona earlier this year, which came after the Mercedes drivers crashed out while vying for the lead on the opening lap.When it was put to him that he must want the collisions to continue as a rival team boss, Horner said: You always want to win on merit and it is never good to benefit on others misfortune. But youve got to be there to capitalise.I think for Mercedes, in the long term, how tenable is it for that pairing to continue as a team?Rosbergs contract expires at the end of the current season, though Mercedes have said the Austria clash will have no impact on extension talks.Horner was then asked if one solution was to have one driver of a different calibre to the other, and he replied: While theey are in the situation they are in with the competitiveness they have and the closeness of performance they are obviously going to have these issues and will not be isolated to this race.ddddddddddddThat is an attractive element for the sport and I think when you have got a dominant car it is great to see the cars going head-to-head.Horner has experience of managing a tricky teammate rivalry, with Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber enduring a difficult relationship in their five years at Red Bull together. With Mercedes now considering team orders Horner says that in itself is a tricky situation for any team to properly implement.It is enormously difficult because no matter how much those guys says they are team players they are contractors and racing for themselves. They are going for the biggest prize in motorsport.Inevitably they will do what is right for them. I think theyve got sufficient margin over the rest of the field why do they need to consider that. It creates interest in F1 which it needs with two teammates who may not be best of mates. ' ' '
