  • In this week’s episode of UAE Spotlight, Sport360 reporters Matt Jones and Matt Monaghan dissect all the big stories from local sport last week.

    In rugby, Abu Dhabi Harlequins and the UAE have been dealt a massive blow with captain Ben Bolger’s retirement.

    The 28-year-old, who led Quins to five titles last season, was forced to hang up his boots last week because of concussion.

    In local football, new UAE coach Alberto Zaccheroni was spotted taking in the latest round of Arabian Gulf League games ahead of his squad announcement next month.
