10 things you need to know
HOBART STATE OF MIND • The Tasmanian capital has a solid reputation for producing tough characters who don’t ever give up. Hurricanes captain Matthew Wade is the perfect example.
20 OF THE BEST 2020 • The sporting world never sleeps and sure enough, 2020 is shaping as another jam-packed year, at home and abroad. So stock the fridge now – this is some kind of menu. From the Summer Olympics in the land of the rising sun, to Euro 2020 and State of Origin at the mighty Adelaide Oval. And there’s so much more happening in our own backyard including both the men’s and women’s T20 World Cups to go with regular must-watch local events like the Formula 1 Grand Prix, Melbourne Cup and the Australian Open. Does it get any better than these 20 incredible events?

Barty season • Coming off a dream season in 2019, world No.1 Ashleigh Barty will be the focus of attention and adoration at the Australian Open, striving to become the first local winner since 1978.
HOW THE WEST HAS WON • Western United hasn’t kicked a ball in anger in its much-mooted 15,000-strong Tarneit stadium, and won’t for two years. But as the A-League’s newest team and its fan base have split their time between two Victorian regional areas, they are finding themselves at home in elite company.
SIGN OF THINGS TO COME
MARQUEE MAGPIE • Brianna Davey knows all about Collingwood’s struggles in the AFLW last season. The former Carlton captain knows all about fighting from the bottom to the top, too. That’s why her new ’Pies gig has her so pumped for 2020.

How to stop a streaker • Greg Chappell has seen and lived through it all – from naked pitch-invaders, to aluminium cricket bats wielded by tearaway fast-bowlers, to that underarm delivery against New Zealand. The Australian cricket legend sat down with Inside Sport recently to relive past glories and controversies.
SENSATIONAL SAO PAULO • Brazil isn’t a country many mainstream sports fans think about when compiling their bucket lists of experiences, particularly those disciples of the Formula One persuasion … But it really should be.
24 HOURS of LEMONS • You read that headline right. This is LEMONS – not Le Mans – and it’s taking Australia by storm. We recently chatted with its Australian boss Sean Herbert at Goulburn’s Wakefield Park circuit for a lesson in true grassroots motorsport.
