Talk » Qatar last week.The worst feeling was

An impressive showing from all four countries sees quite an eclectic mix to this weeks British & Irish Lions team based on last weekends form.?BACKS15. Stuart Hogg (Scotland)Provided the spark from the back against the Wallabies and created his sides third try which shouldve been enough to get Scotland home.14.?Tiernan OHalloran (Ireland)The Connacht backs third Test was one to remember with a brace in a man of the match performance. Showed serious pace in his first try with a break from halfway, and impressed in defence.13. Huw Jones (Scotland)Superb performance in attack, showed a great pair of heels to chase down a Finn Russell chip-kick for his first try before he made his opposite Tevita Kuridrani look ordinary as he side-stepped his way for his second. Kuridrani did get the last laugh however with the match-winner.12. Owen Farrell (England)The Saracens playmaker hardly put a foot wrong against the Springboks. He collected a personal haul of 19 points including a deserved try off a sniping run from Ben Youngs, and held his own in defence against the bigger physique off his opposite Damian de Allande.11. Liam Williams (Wales)Caused the Pumas problems all afternoon and showed great strength to beat would be defenders and charge over for a crucial try early in the second half. Without him this may have been another loss for Rob Howleys side.10. George Ford (England)Got better as the Test went on at Twickenham as his game management frustrated a ragged Boks side. There were holes aplenty in South Africas defence that he capitalised on, and was right on hand when Youngs made his first break to score the fourth try of his 27-test-career.9. Ben Youngs (England)Simply superb and unlucky not to be awarded man of the match. His box-kicks and clearance from the ruck was pin-point. Made poor Pieter-Steph du Toit look like a fool not once, but twice as he sold the dummy to make crucial breaks that led to tries from Ford and Farrell. One of the best Test performances from the Tigers scrum-half.?FORWARDS1. Mako Vunipola (England)While the England scrum wasnt as steady as Eddie wouldve liked, the Premiership Player of the Month carried with intent and put in some big hits against a big South African pack.2. Ross Ford (Scotland)Another big shift by the first Scotland forward to ever play 100 Tests. The Edinburgh hooker got stuck into his work and didnt miss a tackle before coming off midway through the second half.?3. Finlay Bealham (Ireland)Didnt see any other tight-head props make a one handed offload while falling in the tackle that led to a try. Bealham scrummaged well and put in a monster tackle that rocked the chaps from Canada. Job well done.4. Joe Launchbury (England)Much was spoken about Englands injury crisis in the second row but up stepped the Wasps lock with a commanding performance around the park. While Launchbury isnt the same mould of player as Maro Itoje, the 25-year-old is a rock at set piece and does plenty of the hidden work.?5.?Alun Wyn Jones (Wales)A heroic performance from the front for Wales after missing last weeks loss to Australia following the death of his father. Set the the tone from the first whistle and his players followed.?6.?John Barclay (Scotland)The Scarlets back-row was everywhere at Murrayfield, and showed plenty of mongrel at the breakdown against a Wallabies outfit that featured two of the best ball fetchers in the business in David Pocock and Michael Hooper. Switched to No. 8 late in the game where he continue to be a menace.7. Sean OBrien (Ireland)Had a point to prove in his international return after being left out of last weeks side that created history in Chicago. OBrien looked dangerous in everyone of his 13 carries against Canada, his real litmus Test looms next week against Sam Cane and the All Blacks.8. Billy Vunipola (England)Big Billy led the way for England with a game high of 18 carries which got Eddie Jones men on the front foot from the outset. Eben Etzebeth will be first to testify of the power the Saracens No.8 has after an almighty collision that saw the Springboks lock forced from the field.?Dale Murphy Braves Jersey . Vaives lawyer Trevor Whiffen claims the former 50-goal man wasnt provided with a copy of the claim beforehand and that he would not have agreed to the allegations made against the NHL had he been asked to review its contents. Ronald Acuna Jr. Braves Jersey . Ferrer, trying to win his fourth title on Mexican soil, will next play South Africas Kevin Anderson, who eliminated American Sam Querrey,7-6 (2), 6-4. Also Wednesday, Gilles Simon (6) of France beat Donald Young of the United States 6-4, 6-3, Ukraines Alexandr Dolgopolov downed Frenchman Jeremy Chardy 6-3, 6-4 and Croatias Ivo Karlovic defeated Dudi Sela of Israel 7-6 (4), 6-2. https://www.cheapbraves.com/343o-phil-niekro-jersey-braves.html .25 million option on reliever Jose Veras. Clete Boyer Jersey . In the response filed Wednesday to the complaint by 30-year-old Alexander Bradley, attorneys say the former University of Florida player is invoking his Fifth Amendment right that protects people from incriminating themselves. Phil Niekro Braves Jersey . The third-ranked Ivanovic, who won the event in 2008 and 10, served five aces and broke Wickmayer, also a former winner in 2009, five times. "The result looked easier than it really was," Ivanovic said.The IAAF is exploring tightening the rules that allow athletes to switch the country they represent in track and field.Sebastian Coes IAAF leadership has discussed the issue during the Rio de Janeiro Olympics and transfer of allegiance is on the agenda for Saturdays council meeting, the sports governing body revealed to The Associated Press.On the eve of the Olympics, the IAAF allowed 85 athletes to compete for new countries, including 12 now on the Bahrain team after previously representing African or Caribbean nations.It is time to review the transfer of allegiance rules to see if they are still applicable to today, the IAAF told The AP on Monday. ?Its like many of the IAAF rules; they need to be reviewed over a period of time. It is right to review these rules now.Bahrains first Olympic gold medal was won Monday by Ruth Jebet in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. Jebet transferred her sports nationality to the tiny Gulf island kingdom three years ago from Kenya.There are so many athletes in Kenya, the 19-year-old Jebet said, explaining her decision. In Bahrain I get the chance to go to school.Andrew Fisher competed in the 100 meters for Bahrain after being among those athletes to have their transfer of allegiance confirmed in July.The 24-year-old former Jamaican has said he would remain living on the Caribbean Island and had only visited Bahrain once.Fisher hasnt masked the fact that he went in search of a new nation to secure a place at the Olympics because he felt he could not qualify for the Jamaican team, which is headed by Usain Bolt.It was a decision that took months to come to, Fisher told the Jamaica Observer newspaper recently. I love Jamaica and didnt think I could live anywhere else.The Jamaican team right now is a hard one to make, and we all have ambitions to compete at the highest level, and this was one way I saw where I could fulfill that ambition, Fisher added.Neither Fisher nor Jebet had previously appeared in an Olympics. If they had, IOC rules would allow them to represent their nations at the Olympics if they had been competing under their new flag for three years.The IAAF has similar eligibility rules for its international competitions but with flexibility to haasten nationality changes.ddddddddddddIn soccer, players cannot switch countries once they have played in a competitive senior international game.The IAAF Council is set to explore whether it is right to allow athletes to find a new nation to represent if they feel the depth of talent in their original country is considered too strong to qualify for competitions.The IAAF could demand a greater show of commitment to an athletes new country, with exceptions for refugees or people who move due to relationships.The move by the IAAF to look at new rules comes at a time when nationality switches are prompting extra attention -- and sometimes ridicule -- from fans.The Qatari mens handball team for Rio is almost entirely made up of European-born players attracted by the financial rewards gas-rich Qatar offers in a relatively cash-strapped sport.Some are in the bizarre position of competing against their original homelands, including Bertrand Roine, who won the world championship with France in 2011 but competed against France for Qatar last week.The worst feeling was during the national anthem. Ah, but what can I do? Croatia-born Marko Bagaric said after Qatars game against his former countrymen.Qatar gave me the opportunity to play in the Olympic Games. It is the dream of any sportsman. Chinese-born players dominate table tennis worldwide and competed in Rio not just for China, but at least a dozen more countries including Turkey, Canada and Germany.The 53-year-old Li Xianlian was a world champion for China in 1983 but was still competing in Rio this month, her third Olympic appearance for Luxembourg.In the post-Soviet world, nationalities are particularly fluid for the oil-producing nation of Azerbaijan, which in Rio has fielded gymnasts from Ukraine, wrestlers from Iran and a boxer from Cuba.Sitting out a period of ineligibility was no problem for gold medal-winning weightlifter Nijat Rahimov, who used his two-year ban for doping to complete a switch from his native Azerbaijan to Kazakhstan, another former Soviet country that pays generously for medals won.
