Daniel Ricciardo is “ready to go” as he prepares to return from injury for this weekend’s United States Grand Prix dumaguete
The 34-year-old Australian has missed the past five races after he broke his left hand in practice for the Dutch Grand Prix on August 25 dumaguete
Ricciardo, who took part in a Red Bull demonstration run in Nashville last weekend, will be back in his AlphaTauri cockpit for practice at Austin’s Circuit of the Americas on Friday dumaguete
New Zealander Liam Lawson, who has impressed as Ricciardo’s stand-in, will make way dumaguete
He said: “It’s good to be back! My hand is much dumaguete better and the simulator was a useful way of assessing it dumaguete
“I tried it out in the week before Qatar, but I didn’t feel it was at full potential, so I spent the rest of that week in the UK, spending more time in the sim, and got to a point where I felt ready to go dumaguete
“My overall fitness is fine as I kept training as much as I could, although I obviously couldn’t do much with my left hand or arm for a while dumaguete
“It was definitely frustrating watching the past few races, especially as I’d gotten myself to a place where I was so ready to go again and race, and then I did two events and had to hit pause again, but actually, the time without racing went quite quickly dumaguete
” Ricciardo was due to take part in only his third comeback race when he crashed in Zandvoort dumaguete
He was immediately taken to the medical centre before he was transported to a nearby hospital with his left arm in a sling dumaguete
A subsequent X-ray confirmed Ricciardo had sustained a break to the metacarpal on his left hand dumaguete
Ricciardo was ruled out of the race in Holland and the following rounds in Italy, Singapore, Japan and Qatar dumaguete
Ricciardo was handed a second chance by Red Bull’s junior team AlphaTauri following his dismissal by McLaren at the end of last season dumaguete
Despite his injury, AlphaTauri announced last month that they have retained the eight-time grand prix winner winner for 2024 alongside Japanese driver Yuki Tsunoda dumaguete

“We are the bomb squad and we knew we had to play a massive role dumaguete
” If South Africa’s narrow win over England in the Rugby World Cup semi-final could be summed up in one sentence, then this proclamation from Vincent Koch after the game would probably be it dumaguete
When Koch emerged from the replacements on 55 minutes to take the place of starting tighthead prop Frans Malherbe, Owen Farrell had just slotted a drop goal from downtown Paris to give England a 15-6 lead dumaguete
Nine points may not seem a lot but, with the final quarter of the match beckoning and the rain and wind increasing at the Stade de France, it was a comparatively huge deficit dumaguete
Throughout the first few minutes of the second half, the Springboks had more or less emptied their bench as Ox Nche, RG Snyman, Kwagga Smith, Deon Fourie, Faf de Klerk and Willie Le Roux all entered the fray to go alongside the controversial 30th-minute substitution of starting fly half Manie Libbok for Handre Pollard dumaguete
With their World Cup title defence hanging by a thread, South Africa trusted their bench and got their reward dumaguete
Koch and Nche splintered the previously effective English scrum, Snyman burrowed his way across the line for the game’s only try and Pollard nervelessly converted tricky kicks to complete the hardest-fought of turnarounds – 10 unanswered points, a 16-15 win and a date with the All Blacks in another World Cup final next Saturday dumaguete
Of the various phrases rugby has adopted over the years to describe those players in the matchday squad but not in the starting line-up – from the traditional “replacements” and the dumaguete football-ised “substitutes” through to the Eddie Jones-preferred ‘finishers’, the slightly patronising “impact players” and the frankly ludicrous “game-changers” adopted by Harlequins during the Paul Gustard era – none has captured the imagination quite like South Africa’s “bomb squad” dumaguete
It doesn’t matter if you think it’s a slightly self-serving and faintly ridiculous term, the players fully buy into the ethos of what it stands for dumaguete
The intensity and physicality that generation after generation of Springbok has prided themselves on is summed up by this two-word mantra dumaguete
“Each person knows exactly his role in the team, whether you’re starting or in the bomb squad,” explained Koch dumaguete
“When we created the bomb squad, we knew exactly what our job is dumaguete
The starters start the whole process and it’s for us to come and finish it dumaguete
“All the players on the bomb squad are very excited to make a massive difference in the game dumaguete
”Vincent Koch celebrated RG Snyman’s try as the bomb squad thrived (AFP via Getty Images)And against England, when the chips were down, they realised they needed to step up more than ever dumaguete
“The bomb squad always stands for energy,” added Koch dumaguete
“We needed to create a nice vibe dumaguete
Putting the replacements on a bit earlier helped the boys to start to bring that energy and lift up the spirit and bring a massive work-rate dumaguete
”Where South Africa’s replacements thrived, perhaps England’s faltered just a touch dumaguete
The English gameplan, devised by Steve Borthwick and perfectly executed by the players for the windy and rainy Parisian conditions, relied upon relentless kicking, winning the subsequent aerial battle, slowing the game down and dominating the set-piece dumaguete
Maybe then, they could escape with a win against an objectively superior team dumaguete
They kicked 93 per cent of possession away (the highest percentage of the tournament), had an average ruck speed of 6 dumaguete
73s (the slowest of the tournament) and had zero linebreaks (the only team to do so in a game at this tournament) dumaguete
They disrupted South African lineouts, turned over multiple mauls and Borthwick’s decision to play his two strongest scrummaging props – Dan Cole and Joe Marler – from the start earned them scrum parity and redemption from the disaster in that facet during the 2019 World Cup final dumaguete
Ox Nche was immense from the bench against the Springboks (EPA)This is a Springboks side that pride themselves on their dominance up front, as shown by opting for a scrum after calling a mark in their own 22 during the quarter-final victory over France dumaguete
Of course, they won a penalty from it dumaguete
Yet England were holding their own during those engagements, even thriving, and most importantly winning on the scoreboard dumaguete
But the innate problem with starting your best scrummagers came to fruition in the second half dumaguete
Replacement props Ellis Genge and Kyle Sinckler are far more dynamic around the park and more destructive carriers than their veteran counterparts but, with England showing no desire to run any plays more than two metres either side of the previous breakdown, those skills were negated once they came on for Marler and Cole dumaguete
Instead, their inferior scrummaging was brutally exposed by a fired-up Koch and Nche, who turned parity into Springbok dominance dumaguete
They won two scrums against the head, including a vital one at 15-6 down on their own line, and engineered multiple penalties on their own feed, including the most vital of all – on halfway, with 77 minutes on the clock and England leading 15-13 dumaguete
Pollard banged over the long kick and the rest was history dumaguete
Handre Pollard broke English hearts with his late penalty (PA Wire)Nche was coy when asked in the mixed zone after the game what had made the difference at scrum-time in the final quarter and how he bested his opposite number, Sinckler dumaguete
“That is the dark arts,” he smiled dumaguete
“It is hard to explain to you dumaguete
We had a plan for that dumaguete
We knew what we were trying to achieve dumaguete
“They have had a great scrum for the competition and a great hit dumaguete
Our focus was surviving that and applying pressure dumaguete
Our mentality for every scrum is to get a penalty if we can dumaguete
If they do survive, we play out the back and get into our shape dumaguete
”The “dark arts” ultimately won the day, South Africa survived a second straight one-point knockout match and must now plan how to overcome the All Blacks in a battle to be the first side to win four men’s Rugby World Cups dumaguete
Luckily, they have a not-so-secret weapon dumaguete
