| Samoa versus Tonga breathing life into the international scene, Hull demolishing Saints and Sam Burgess feature in Set of Six. Test RugbyA mixed bag of international rugby was served up over the weekend as Australia and New Zealand clashed in Newcastle while Samoa and Tonga met at Sydneys Pirtek Stadium. Unfortunately, Australia versus New Zealand did not quite live up to expectations as the Aussies ran out 16-0 winners over their depleted opponents. It was the Kangaroos first win over the Kiwis in two years, but they still came under criticism for their performance. Former Origin coach Phil Gould slammed the performance, saying the squad needs a complete overhaul in order to compete at the 2017 World Cup. Darius Boyd powers over for an Australia try Restoring our faith in the international game was Samoas 18-6 win over Tonga in a cracking contest. It was great to see Hull duo Frank Pritchard and Sika Manu travel to Australia to skipper Samoa and Tonga respectively. In a bruising encounter, both sides showed their passion and commitment to play for their country and rugby league was the real winner on the day.Unique insight Sky Sports gained unique access to a rugby league half-time team talk as John Kear delivered his message to his Batley Bulldogs Batley Bulldogs coach John Kear gave Sky Sports unprecedented access during their Challenge Cup tie with Catalans Dragons.The Batley boss wore a microphone during the sixth round match at the Foxs Biscuits Stadium where the Championship part-timers produced a battling performance but had no answer to the Catalans power in a 40-4 defeat.Kears half-time team-talk was particularly insightful - click on the video above to see how he handles their expectations...Class from Hull Hull FC coach Lee Radford says there is more to come from his side There were no giant slayers over the weekend with the biggest shock being Hull knocking over St Helens.Hull were at their attacking best as they ran in eight tries during their 47-18 win over Saints, and coach Lee Radford says the performance is just the beginning.Because of the importance of the fixture it was our best performance of the season but there is still more to come for us and we had three big players missing, said Radford. We had some exceptional performances but it was a great team display and we never looked in any trouble. The enthusiasm and energy we carried the football with was really pleasing.Things can happen for this team because there are some outstanding individuals within this group.Next up for Hull is a return to Super League action when they travel to the DW Stadium to face Wigan on Friday, live on Sky Sports 3.Return of Tomkins? Will Tomkins be back for Wigan on Friday? Talking of Wigan, Sam Tomkins is set to make his long awaited return to Super League. Tomkins re-joined his hometown club but has yet to play this season, having sustained a knee ligament injury while playing for New Zealand Warriors last year.Wigans 54-4 win over Dewsbury in the Challenge Cup would have boosted their confidence ahead of Fridays clash. The Warriors, currently fourth on the Super league table, were beaten 40-10 by Warrington in their last Super League outing but the defeat did not worry coach Shaun Wane too much.Speaking after the defeat to Warrington, Wane said: Lets be real about it, weve got some good players not playing at the moment.The players that are taking to the field have played a lot of games and Im proud of their effort. As a club were in a good place, you look at who is in that dressing room at the end that arent playing and well be okay.Rhinos call to armsLeeds chief executive Gary Hetherington issued a rallying cry after the Rhinos 36-22 defeat to Huddersfield. Hetheringtons letter to the fans claimed that the future is bright and urged the fans not to panic.Unless you are a very long-standing fan, this experience is something new to us all as we find ourselves in a tough position and one that is in complete contrast to this time last year, Hetherington wrote.As I am sure you know, this is what can happen in professional team sport and most clubs in this situation would be in crisis with low morale, a blame culture and a frenzy to make wholesale changes throughout the organisation. But thats not the case here!I find myself surrounded not by pessimists but by an incredibly energised and positive group of players, coaches and staff who are all working incredibly hard to achieve new and different goals. Our first and most immediate goal is to climb the Super League table and then make the top eight by round 23.I genuinely believe we can all look to some exciting times ahead, he added. We have a vision for the club and a set of values which underpin all we do.Burgess forced to apologise Sam Burgess in action for the South Sydney Rabbitohs Sam Burgess came under fire for filming his wife singing whilst driving. The Rabbitohs star drew plenty of criticism on social media after posting a clip of his wife Phoebe belting out a rendition of Cold Chisels classic song Khe Sanh while he was behind the wheel.Its unacceptable. I made a mistake and obviously Ill pay the fine and get the points, said Burgess.Its a mistake and something Ill learn from, and hopefully people can learn from. But Ill move on from it now and look forward to the game this weekend. The good news is that Burgess said he will be fit for the Rabbitohs clash with Parramatta on Friday, despite injuring his ankle in their defeat to the Wests Tigers last time out.

Formula One Teams Association secretary general Oliver Weingarten says the organization collapsed over unpaid subscription fees and a failure to strike an agreement for 2014 with all 11 teams.(SportsNetwork.com) - The start of a quick Florida tour for the Washington Wizards didnt go as planned and theyll try again for their first win of the season Thursday against the Orlando Magic at Amway Center. The Wizards opened the season with Wednesdays 107-95 loss to the Miami Heat in their first game without superstar LeBron James. The Heat didnt miss a beat, at least for one night, and were led by Chris Boshs 26 points and 15 rebounds. Norris Cole and Dwyane Wade scored 23 and 21 points, respectively. Drew Gooden and Marcin Gortat scored 18 points apiece, while Paul Pierce added 17 points in his Washington debut. The Wizards struggled on the boards (44-36) and havent won a season opener since Oct. 27, 2009 against Dallas. I think we lost that game on rebounds, on the boards, Gortat said. We should fight a bit harder and stay a bit more focused on everything we do. ... Weve just got to regroup and get the game tomorrow. John Wall ended with 16 points and 11 assists for the Wizards, who were outscored by a 35-25 measure in the fourth quarter and were without guard Bradley Beal (wrist) and forwards Nene and DeJuan Blair. Both big men were serving a one-game suspension for a preseason incident and should be back Thursday. Kris Humphries is a new face in DC and shook off a balky hand to post four points in just over 13 minutes. Otto Porter led the team in scoring during the preseason with 13.0 points per game, his exact point total against Miami. Wall averaged career-highs in points (19.4 ppg), assists (8.8 apg), field goal percentage (.433) and 3-point peercentage (.dddddddddddd351) last season. He led the NBA in total assists with 721. Washington was a playoff team last season and is a favorite to win the Southeast Division now that James is in Cleveland. The Wizards could be down 0-2 on the season and in division play after Thursdays game in Orlando. The Wizards will open their home schedule Saturday versus Milwaukee. Orlando lost its season opener Tuesday, 101-84, to Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans. Davis was outstanding and finished with 26 points, 17 rebounds and nine blocks. The Magic were led by Tobias Harris, who scored 25 points on 9-of-18 shooting. Nikola Vucevic was a beast on the boards with 23 to go along with 15 points for Orlando, which shot 38.1 percent and committed 18 turnovers for 27 New Orleans points. The toughest part for Orlando was allowing 26 offensive boards. Magic rookie guard Elfrid Payton started the game at the point with second- year PG Victor Oladipo nursing a facial fracture. Payton had four points and seven assists. It was great to get out there and play in front of family and friends, said Payton, a Louisiana native. It gives you a lot of confidence. Aaron Gordon, Orlandos other first-round draft pick, had 11 points off the bench Not much is expected from the Magic this season and theyre aiming for a sixth straight win in their home opener. Orlando will host Toronto Saturday. The Magic lost all four meetings with Washington last season, but are 10-3 in the previous 13 encounters in central Florida. Orlando leads the all-time series, 63-37. ' ' ' |
