on the ground.Rebels coach Hugh Freeze says A from corse178's blog

Kane Douglas says he is relieved to have overcome his injury woes and hopeful of making a quick impact for both the Wallabies and the Queensland Reds. Womens Cincinnati Reds Jerseys .Douglas played his first match since injuring his ACL during last years World Cup final in Friday nights loss to the Brumbies, coming off the bench in the 50th minute to make an impressive - albeit long overdue - debut for the Reds.It leaves the 27-year-old with only two Super Rugby matches in the regular season to build form and fitness, but its expected Wallabies coach Michael Cheika will bring him straight back into the fold for the Rugby Championship, which begins with a Bledisloe Cup Test against New Zealand in Sydney on August 20.Thats what Im hoping, if I can play some good footy, Douglas told reporters on Tuesday.But Im just worrying about (doing) that for the Reds first and well see what happens from there.I dont talk myself up, Im just going to work hard and if I can help out in any way, I will.Douglas was a key part of the Australian side that unexpectedly surged all the way to the 2015 World Cup decider, and his uncompromising aggression and sheer physical presence might just be what the Wallabies need after they were comprehensively outfought in a 3-0 home series defeat to England last month.But having spent time around Camp Wallaby finalising the rehabilitation on his knee and nursing himself back to full fitness, Douglas senses its not all gloom and doom for the national team.The boys played well, you cant fault their effort in any of the games, he said.It was good to see some young guys get a crack and everyone definitely put in.These things happen, you have your dips and things like that.The Reds host the Chiefs on Friday night at Suncorp Stadium in a clash that is likely to pit Douglas against All Blacks second-rowers Brodie Retallick and Dominic Bird, in an early test of his readiness for the international arena.Douglas expects he will be much better for his first run, although its expected he will remain on the bench when Queenslands team is named on Wednesday morning, with Cadeyrn Neville and rookie Lukhan Tui set to retain their starting spots.I was probably sucking them in a few times, but I felt all of my involvements were alright, Douglas said.Five-eighth Jake McIntyre (ankle) didnt train on Tuesday and will be replaced by Duncan Paiaaua, while Karmichael Hunt (groin) is also still sidelined. Authentic Homer Bailey Jersey .

From filmmaker Nanette Burstein (On the Ropes), The Price of Gold revisits the saga that rocked the figure skating world ahead of the 1994 Lillehammer Olympic Winter Games: the assault on Nancy Kerrigan, and the plot that led its way back to her rival Tonya Harding. AUBURN, Ala. -- The Auburn Tigers have emerged as one of the Southeastern Conferences hottest teams with a devastating running game and a defense that has been among the leagues best.The 15th-ranked Tigers have won four straight games since a 1-2 start when the season appeared on the brink. A team that only scored three touchdowns against its first three Power 5 conference opponents made a huge statement last Saturday with a 56-3 stampede of then-No. 17 Arkansas that followed a 24-point victory over Mississippi State.The Tigers (5-2, 3-1 SEC) have emerged from two seasons of mediocrity following the 2013 league championship run. Their confidence is certainly flying high going into Saturday nights game at Mississippi (3-4, 1-3).Any time you play well, youre confident, Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said Tuesday. Youve got to be confident. Youve got to be mentally tough. Youve got to be confident but at the same time youve got to keep working. Youve got to keep the same mentality each week.It doesnt matter what happens. Youve got to have the same mentality to keep improving. You cant pat yourself on the back, not in this league.Lofty perches do tend to be precarious in the SEC West, where the Razorbacks and Rebels have both tumbled from the rankings. But Auburns win over Arkansas was the most lopsided defeat of any Top 25 team this season, and the 543 rushing yards was a record for a regular-season SEC game.The Tigers were one play away from being 1/3 but escaped with an 18-13, touchdown-free win over No. 19 LSU, which didnt get off its final throw into the end zone in time. Auburn has been rolling along since.Rebounding strong from a 7-6 season would be typical of Auburns recent history. The runs to the national championship game in 2010 and 2013 followeed seasons of 8-5 and 3-9. Authentic Barry Larkin Jersey. The Tigers have produced three of the programs top 10 performances in total offenses: 706 yards against Arkansas State, 688 against Louisiana-Monroe and most impressively 632 against Arkansas. The latter two have come since that LSU win.A player who didnt have a carry in his career, or play in the opening game, now leads the SEC in rushing yards per game. Kamryn Pettway is averaging 116.2 yards on the season and racked up 361 yards in the past two games.Auburn also leads the SEC in scoring defense, giving up 14.8 points per game. The Tigers held Arkansas to 215 total yards, including 25 on the ground.Rebels coach Hugh Freeze says Auburn has an elite defense.Only giving up 14 points a game is unheard of almost these days, Freeze said. You watch them on tape and you see why.Cornerback Carlton Davis, like his coach, doesnt think Auburn can afford to get carried away by the recent success.Weve been improving as a defense this whole year, and last week was another step in our journey, Davis said. We just want to continue to improve.Game notes Malzahn expects tailback Kerryon Johnson to be back after missing most of the past two games with an ankle injury. The good thing is we didnt have to play him last week, the coach said. I thought that was very important moving forward, not just this game but the rest of the year. ... Cornerbacks Jeremiah Dinson (knee and shoulder) and Jamel Dean (knee) are unlikely to play this season but should be ready in the spring, Malzahn said. Neither has played. Dean transferred from Ohio State.---Online:More AP college football: http://collegefootball.ap.org Cheap Jerseys Wholesale NFL T-shirts From China Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping NFL Jerseys Cheap Cheap Jerseys Youth NFL Jerseys ChinaWholesale NFL Hoodies ' ' '
