Eddie Jones' Wallabies will face the identical All Black team that beat them 52-16 in Sydney three weeks ago in the Tri-Nations and Bledisloe Cup rugby union test at Auckland on Saturday.
Jones' New Zealand opposite John Mitchell yesterday named the run-on 15 which trounced Australia by a record score at Stadium Australia for a match that marks the All Blacks' test centenary.
Mitchell has made four changes, all among the forwards, from the team which beat South Africa 19-11 at Dunedin last weekend to clinch the Tri-Nations title.
He has reinstalled the front row which played in the Sydney test, recalled rugged lock Chris Jack and restored tearaway flanker Ritchie McCaw.
Meanwhile, Jones has made one injury-enforced change to his team for the match, recalling veteran prop Glenn Panoho in place of Patricio Noriega who has a groin strain.
Panoho's promotion from the reserves bench comes although he is also reported to be struggling with a leg injury. His place on the Wallaby bench has been taken by the uncapped New South Wales prop Alistair Baxter.
Jones has named No. 8 Toutai Kefu in his staring lineup, though the bullocking loose-forward remains in doubt because of neck and calf injuries. Kefu will be given until Saturday to prove his fitness.
The changes made by Mitchell yesterday appear to restore his strongest lineup.
His backline is unchanged and the return of McCaw, Jack and the front row of Greg Somerville, Keven Mealamu and Dave Hewett reunite the All Blacks' No. 1 pack.
"We're not so much rewarding the guys who played in Sydney, we just believe this is the right 22 to play against Australia," Mitchell said.
US track and field athletes have about four dozen pieces to choose from when assembling their uniforms at the Olympics. The one grabbing the most attention is a high-cut leotard that barely covers the bikini line and has triggered debate between those who think it is sexist and others who say they do not need the Internet to make sure they have good uniforms. Among those critical or laughing at the uniforms included Paralympian Femita Ayanbeku, sprinter Britton Wilson and even athletes from other countries such as Britain’s Abigail Irozuru, who wrote on social media: “Was ANY female athlete consulted in
Four-time NBA all-star DeMarcus Cousins arrived in Taiwan with his family early yesterday to finish his renewed contract with the Taiwan Beer Leopards in the T1 League. Cousins initially played a four-game contract with the Leopards in January. On March 18, the Taoyuan-based team announced that Cousins had renewed his contract. “Hi what’s up Leopard fans, I’m back. I’m excited to be back and can’t wait to join the team,” Cousins said in a video posted on the Leopard’s Facebook page. “Most of all, can’t wait to see you guys, the fans, next weekend. So make sure you come out and support the Beer
Former US Masters champion Zach Johnson was left embarrassed after a foul-mouthed response to ironic cheers from spectators after a triple bogey at Augusta National on Friday. Johnson, the 2007 Masters winner, missed the cut after his three-over-par round of 75 left him on seven-over 151 for 36 holes, his six on the par-three 12th playing a big role in his downfall. Television footage showed Johnson reacting to sarcastic cheers and applause when he tapped in for the triple bogey by yelling: “Oh fuck off.” Such a response would be considered bad form in any golf tournament, but is particularly out of keeping
The sacred flame for the Paris Olympics was lit yesterday in Olympia, Greece, the birthplace of the ancient Games, in a ceremony inspired by antiquity and marked by messages of hope amid multiple global crises. “In ancient times, the Olympic Games brought together the Greek city states, even — and in particular — during times of war and conflict,” International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach said. “Today, the Olympic Games are the only event that brings the entire world together in peaceful competition. Then as now, the Olympic athletes are sending this powerful message — yes, it is possible to compete fiercely
