Its difficult to right the ship anyway, from corse178's blog
The Rugby Football Unions new Heads of Agreement deal with Premiership Rugby is good news for Eddie Jones mission to turn England into the most dominant side in the world but it will not see any change to the national teams overseas player policy. Patrick Mahomes II Chiefs Jersey .The policy -- which was activated in the wake of the 2011 World Cup -- said the England coach was not allowed to pick players who were playing their domestic rugby outside of the Aviva Premiership unless there was an exceptional circumstance. In the new agreement between the RFU and PRL, which was announced on Monday, this now has added clarity with Eddie Jones only allowed to select players outside of the English top flight in the event of an injury crisis.This means unless there is an unparalleled list of players sidelined in the back-row, Jones will not be allowed to pick Ospreys Sam Underhill for the November Tests despite previously suggesting he was keen to bring him into camp.We discussed it again with Eddie and we agreed with the exceptional circumstances clause and it is left where it is, RFU CEO Ian Ritchie said. I think everybody is clear what it is and Eddie is very good at communicating it to players.We think it is a good clause and the right clause. That is the situation that will sustain during the agreement.PRL CEO Mark McCafferty added:?When we wrote the first agreement it was always injury related, we just never wrote it in as specific as that.We have clarified it only in the sense of writing what we had in mind eight years ago. If you get big injuries ahead of playing a tier-one country -- maybe the next in line is inexperienced and almost to a point of safety issues.Under those circumstances that would definitely be exceptional and you might have to look elsewhere.Ritchie ruled out any chance of the organisation brokering a deal to bring Underhill to the Premiership, meaning if Underhill -- the much-admired 20-year old who is playing in the PRO12 and studying at Cardiff University -- is to play for England then one of the 12 top flight clubs must sign him from the Welsh region.Other than those restrictions, the new deals various conditions are positive for Jones. The previous week-long August training camp is now shortened allowing Jones to bring players into England camp in October and for an extra spell before the Six Nations while those in the national team will have more mandatory rest periods.Jones can also pick a larger Elite Player Squad, now 45 players up from 33, and can delay confirming that make up until early October where before it had to be named before the seasons start.Ritchie said Jones, who has masterminded a remarkable nine-game unbeaten run since taking over England at the turn of the year, was heavily involved in all the situations around the deal and is very supportive.Eddie has come to meet with our board on a couple of occasions to explain his view of the English game and where he was hoping to take it, McCafferty said. One of the things he explained very clearly having worked all over the world was that we have the best set-up in the world in terms of facilities, back-up and support.But he also explained his frustration that because of that and with the player base we have, that we need to be more successful at club and international level.For the clubs they will receive more money than ever before from the RFU and despite concerns raised by some over increasing player wages - Exeter Chiefs chairman Tony Rowe and Gloucester CEO Stephen Vaughan have both voiced worries over the raising salaries - McCafferty says this deal will give the Premiership teams long-term stability and room to grow on and off the field.We expect success in the same way England expect success. The clubs are investing in a whole series of areas -- training facilities, stands etc. When they walk down to the local bank manager and they want to see whether they can support that financing, knowing there are these long-term deals with TV partners, commercial partners and the RFU, it gives the funding sources the certainty to back the clubs on the development.Thats all part of a system which is capable of generating success. The game is growing very quickly at this level and its been well-supported and I think itll be another period of accelerated growth over the next few years. Tanoh Kpassagnon Chiefs Jersey . Aaron Harrison scored a 22 points for Kentucky (6-1), which has won four in a row following a Nov. 12 loss to current No. 1 Michigan State. Julius Randle overcame a scoreless first half and added his sixth double-double in as many games with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Patrick Mahomes II Jersey . With Parker having a quiet game for once, Nicolas Batum and Boris Diaw provided the scoring as France won its first major basketball title by beating Lithuania 80-66 on Sunday. It was a victory that ended a decade of frustration for Parker and a talented French generation, which lost the final against Spain two years ago and took bronze in 2005. http://www.kcchiefsnflfansclub.com/Black-Kareem-Hunt-Chiefs-Jersey.html?cat=933 . But Bourque, who has missed three games with a lower-body injury, wont be in the lineup when the Habs travel to Buffalo to take on the Sabres on Wednesday. NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Missed tackles with defenders little more than obstacles to bounce off on the way to more yards.A kicker missing both an extra point wide left and pushing an onside kick out of bounds.Lots and lots of penalty flags.Aaron Rodgers, the two-time NFL MVP, wasnt immune either, missing reads and overthrowing receivers with one pass going straight to a defender.The Green Bay Packers have lots of issues after a 47-25 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday put them below .500 for the first time this late in a season since 2013.Packers coach Mike McCarthy said they couldnt overcome falling behind 21-0 and by as much as 35-10 late in the first half before falling to 4-5.We understand how poorly we performed today, McCarthy said. As a team, were disappointed. We have higher standards than that. We have higher expectations of one another, so thats what well tap into and grab onto.That 25-point deficit was Green Bays largest in the first half of a game started by Rodgers. Now theyve lost three straight and four of their past five. The previous time the Packers were below .500 this late in a season at 5-6-1 in 2013, but finished 8-7-1 to win the NFC North in 2013.We just didnt execute as well as we wanted to on offense and obviously in the other two phases as well, Rodgers said.Minnesota lost again. Were a game back. Were kind of right where we were last week. Obviously, love to be standing here after a win, but right now weve got to work on ourselves and get this thing turned around.A franchise that has reached the postseason each of the past seven seasons has to fix some things first with two more games left on the Packers first three-game road trip since 2012.The Packers recovered Tennessees onside kick to open the game and had the ball at the Titans 49 in perfect position to score. They went three-and-out with Rodgers missing Randall Cobb on a short throw on third down.It took a little bbit to get going, Rodgers said. Kareem Hunt Womens Jersey. hen right guard T.J. Lang hurt an ankle on the first play of the second series and was replaced by Dan Barclay. By the end of the first quarter, the Packers had just 26 yards. Rodgers had completed only two passes.But the penalties already started piling up. The Packers finished with 12 for 107 yards.We had too much fight today, McCarthy said.The Packers added a touchdown to pull within 35-16 at halftime after they already had posted the largest deficit since trailing by 21 in the first half against the New York Giants in 2012.Rodgers threw for 371 yards and two touchdowns, and he also ran for another. Rodgers remains the only person to run for a TD this season for the Packers.McCarthy couldnt list all the injuries after the game, which grew when left tackle David Bakhtiari hurt a knee and was replaced by rookie Jason Spriggs in the fourth quarter. That forced lots of rotations as the Packers gave up five sacks.Its hard emotionally, center Corey Linsley said. Its difficult to right the ship anyway, but hard emotionally is what I am referring to. I think we have a level of trust in our locker room with a bunch of great guys that work hard. Im confident that we will get that back.The next stop on this road swing is a trip to Washington, and McCarthy said the Packers have been in tough spots before.Everything we want to accomplish big picture-wise is still in front of us, McCarthy said. But the reality is we need to get a little healthier and we have to prepare and play better and we have to win the next game.---Corrects to show Packers last below .500 this late in season in 2013, not 2008.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Teresa M.
