Rocket takes plunge into pool

SNOOKER’S world number Ronnie O’Sullivan intends to carve out a second career in America playing pool.

The 29-year-old will still take part in the four major snooker tournaments but will choose pool over any others that clash with dates in the United States.

And his reason for deciding to spend months abroad was simple - there was not enough top-quality snooker available to keep him happy.
