It was a weekend feast, but not the type that pricks the ears and tingles the taste buds of Josh Perry or Danny Wicks. There were no doughnuts in sight. Especially not on the scoreboards where it was all big numbers and high scoring matches courtesy of an avalanche of soft tries. On average there were 51 points scored per game. Effective tackles were as hard to find as a former league winger in a Wallabiesâ?? jersey.

Contributing significantly to the stats was the Rabbitohsâ?? â??effortâ?? against the Tigers. Gordon Tallis is coaching the forwards at Redfern these days and heâ??s clearly managed to turn things around â?? they used to be good, and now theyâ??re not. In Southsâ?? defence thoughâ?¦ well there was none to be honest. The Panthers and Eels traded tries for eighty minutes in a game of anything-you-can-do-we-can-do-betterâ?¦ until you do it better againâ?¦ and then we do it better.. and then youâ?¦ and then usâ?¦ and then you againâ?¦ and thenâ?¦ the gameâ??s over?

Oh well you win.In a weekend that saw 63 tries scored the Sharks came up with one of them against the Cowboys; coincidentally the same number of players they had sacked for an alcohol-related misdemeanour. To be fair, this ratio was a slight improvement on some earlier times in the year. In Melbourne the Knights couldnâ??t come up with a victory over the Storm despite having approximately 100 per cent of the possession and field position. If the southerners ever had the ball I mustâ??ve been blinking. Surely only the rain concealed the Newcastle playersâ?? tears at the end of this one.The Raiders held on to beat the Titans, though if the game had lasted five more minutes the Gold Coast boys might have won by 13+ at the margins.

The Bluesâ?? selectors look set to continue the â??one Raider at a timeâ?? policy by picking Learoyd-Lahrs and dropping Monaghan after the latter replaced Campese in game two. Next year should see Tongue get his chance before being inevitably dropped with Monaghan and Campese earning recallsâ?¦ only to be dropped.On Friday night the Roosters got back into the swing of things with another loss against the Dragons.

Of course, the fact that they got thrashed, stayed rooted to the bottom rung of the ladder, and were confirmed as the worst performing bunch of rep players in the gameâ??s history wasnâ??t great news, but the fact that they had to witness a Wendell Sailor try celebration really was the straw that broke the camelâ??s back. The Broncos had a good win over the Warriors due to the game not being played in New Zealand.

Lillymanâ??s arm and Ropatiâ??s head showed that secret rendezvousâ?? with internet lady friends is not the only thing capable of dazzling big Joel Clinton. And Tonie Carroll made a successful comeback at the ripe old age of really bloody old. Pick him and Sailor for State of Origin III and bring back Alfie â?? give the Blues a chance.

Many people have never seen a cricket ball, so it is not surprising that most haven’t the slightest idea what they look like, how they’re made, things like that. This article will help fill in some of the blanks about this particular piece of cricket equipment, by answering the simplest of questions people might consider most interesting.What are cricket balls made of?

At its core, they’re made from cork, which of course comes from a specific type of Oak tree. Much like an American baseball, balls are wound tightly around their circumference with string to a certain diameter, which in the men’s sporting events is between 224 and 229 millimeters. The balls must also weigh between 155.9 and 163.0 grams. These wound cores are then covered with four crescent-shapes strips of tanned leather which are sewn together at a seam along the ball’s middle. The balls are traditionally dyed red, except for one-day matches where night play makes a white ball more visible under the lights. Cricket balls are designed to last for at least 80 over, the equivalent of over 5 hours of play. Balls are only replaced during play under specific conditions according to league rules. These balls can be machine or hand-made, in either two or four pieces, though much of the wool yarn and cork comes from central locations like Portugal and Australia. Kookaburra, Slazenger, and Gray-Nicolls are major distributors of tournament-quality balls. What is the “swing” of a ball referring to?

The unique construction and density of a cricket ball, in combination with a bowler’s variety of delivery, the speed at which they throw, and the age of the ball in play determine a ball’s “swing,” i.e. its horizontal deviation from side to side after it leaves a bowler’s hand. All these variables contribute something similar to, but yet different from, the curve of a baseball when released by a pitcher. For a better understanding of the difference between the two, you can consult a scientific discussion of the Magnus Effect online.

Bowlers use the seams on a cricket ball to create “spin” on deliveries. Is there a difference between hand-made and machine-made balls?At least one study completed in November 2008 suggests that all balls are not made alike, a factor that contributes to inconsistency in play. Softer balls that are more forgiving can be placed more easily by batters. More runs are possible as these balls break down over a few hours, enough time for a significant amount of runs to be scored by less skilled players. The use of different core materials (rubber and cork, or a mixture of the two, for example) and different specifications for the surface finishes and yarn highlights the need for better standards. The official committees of ICC tournament play will need a closer look, as tampering and inferior quality are still issues that occasionally become a focal point for cricket balls.

The origins of the Australian Football League (AFL) can be traced back to 1896 when 8 teams decided to split from the Victorian Football Association (VFA) to form the Victorian Football  League (VFL). The VFA had been formed in 1877 but organised Australian Rules Football had been played in Victoria long before that with the first documented game taking place in August 1858 between Scotch College and Melbourne Grammar. In 1897 Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon, Fitzroy, Geelong, Melbourne, St Kilda and South Melbourne contested the first VFL season with Essendon winning the first premiership.

St Kilda struggled in the new league losing their first 48 games before finally breaking through in the 1st round of the 1900 season defeating Melbourne by 1 point.  The game finished with the scores deadlocked on 68 points apiece but St Kilda successfully argued that one of Melbourne’s points had been scored after the three-quarter time bell so the game was awarded to St Kilda. Success for the Saints was short-lived though with St Kilda losing their remaining 13 games in 1900 and their first 12 games in 1901 before posting another victory.

Round 1 of 1903 saw Geelong defeat St Kilda by 50 points meaning that St Kilda had managed to win only 2 of their first 100 League games.  But by round 6 that same year something had changed.  St Kilda started winning and finished the year in 5th position on the ladder with 6 wins just missing out on the Final Four.

In 1908 Richmond and University joined the VFL.  Both teams were immediately competitive. Richmond winning their first League match against Melbourne then going on to complete the season with 6 victories.  University had to wait until round 2 to record their first win when they defeated fellow newcomer Richmond.  They finished the season in 6th place with 8 wins.

By 1912 University were in decline.  They only won 1 game that year against St Kilda and were unable to record a victory in either of the following two seasons.  Struggling to attract players, University disbanded before the start of the 1915 season having lost their final 51 games. University was the first VFL team to feel the pressure of players joining the forces fighting in WWI. The 1916 season saw Essendon, Geelong, Melbourne, St Kilda and South Melbourne go into recess.  With just four teams remaining in the League, Fitzroy achieved the unusual distinction of finishing last yet under the Final Four system they competed in the finals and won the premiership. Geelong and South Melbourne rejoined the League in 1917 with St Kilda and Essendon coming back the following season.  Melbourne returned to the League in 1919 after the war had finished. The VFL expanded to 12 teams in 1925 when North Melbourne, Footscray and Hawthorn joined. The newcomers filled the bottom three spots on the 1925 ladder recording 5, 4 and 3 wins respectively. The late 1920s were dominated by Collingwood.  Runners-up in 1925 and 1926, they won 4 premierships in a row from1927-30 losing just 10 games along the way.  They were a machine, propelling their prolific full-forward Gordon Coventry to a 1,299 goal career.

Collingwood’s four premierships in a row remained unchallenged until the 1950s.  Melbourne were runners-up in 1954, when Footscray won their first premiership, before a run of 3 premierships in 55, 56 and 57.  Fate pitched them against Collingwood in the 1958 Grand Final.  Collingwood won by 3 goals ensuring their record remained unequalled.  Melbourne won the 1959 and 1960 premierships making it five flags from their seven consecutive Grand Final appearances.

Collingwood again featured when St Kilda won the premiership in 1966 by a solitary point becoming the last of the original 8 VFL teams to win a flag. The 1972 season saw the number of teams playing in the finals increased from 4 to 5 with the introduction of the McIntyre Final Five system.  This allowed an extra two matches to be played during the 4 week duration of the finals bringing additional gate receipts to the League. For the following decade, despite the extra money from finals, several VFL teams felt the pinch financially.  The VFL were eyeing expansion into Sydney, Australia’s biggest city. But with a preference for Rugby League rather than Australian Rules Football breaking into the Sydney sports market would not be easy.  With VFL encouragement, South Melbourne relocated to Sydney during the 1981 post-season and became the Sydney Swans starting and unparalleled period of change for the VFL.

The VFL expanded into Western Australian and Queensland with the inclusion of newly formed teams, the West Coast Eagles and the Brisbane Bears.  These new teams both won their first games.  Brisbane defeating North Melbourne at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) with West Coast beat Richmond at Subiaco.  The Bears finished the year 13th with 6 wins while the Eagles were 8th with 11 wins.

With three teams based outside Victoria the VFL was renamed the Australian Football League (AFL) in 1990.  Towards the end of that year the most successful South Australian team, Port Adelaide, made a bold bid to join the AFL.  Their bid was thwarted when the South Australian League (SANFL) formed the Adelaide Crows who were accepted into the AFL expanding the competition to all five Australian mainland States.

The Crows hit the competition with a bang in the first round of 1991 beating Hawthorn by 86 points at Football Park but finished the season in 9th place with 10 wins.

The 1991 season also saw the expansion of the Finals system to a Final Six.  Also devised by McIntyre, the Final Six had it’s problems.  It was tweaked in 1992 when West Coast became the first non-Victorian team to win the premiership although with the Brisbane Bears Reserves winning  the premiership in the curtain-raiser it could be argued that Brisbane holds that honour.  In any case, the Eagles were the first non-Victorian team to win a senior flag and by 1994 when they added a second one, the Final Six system had been replaced by a Final Eight. With only 15 teams in the League, a Final Eight meant more teams made the finals than missed  out.  That was rectified in 1995 the Fremantle Dockers became the second Western Australian team to join the AFL.  Freo lost their first two games before breaking through in round 3 against Fitzroy at the Western Oval.  They finished the year with 8 wins in 13th place.

1996 marked the 100th season of VFL/AFL football.  The AFL celebrated the entire season as its centenary and scheduled a series of re-enactment games in round 7 where teams wore replica  uniforms from the 1890s.  Over 75,000 people saw Essendon defeat Geelong in the first game of that round at the MCG on a Wednesday night.  Two days later more than 70,000 fans again made there way to the MCG to watch St Kilda defeat Collingwood.

Cynics suggest the AFL celebrated the centenary a year early because Fitzroy, one of the foundation teams, were in such financial trouble that they would not see the season out.  It was no surprise when in July 1996 it was announced that Fitzroy would merge with another team.  The expected partner was North Melbourne but when the announcement was made it was the Brisbane Bears who were the other team.  Fitzroy and the Bears played out the 1996 season before forming the Brisbane Lions for the 1997 season.  Melbourne would have merged with Hawthorn that same year it had not been rejected by the members of both clubs at emotion charged meetings.  North Melbourne went on to win the Grand Final against Sydney earning a gold premiership cup to mark the Centenary. To maintain 16 teams, Port Adelaide Power were admitted to the AFL in 1997.  The Power were separate from the powerful SANFL team the Port Adelaide Magpies but they claimed a shared history with both teams based a Alberton Oval. Port Adelaide lost their first two games in 1997 to Collingwood and Essendon before defeating Geelong in round 3 at Football Park in Adelaide.  Brisbane Lions also lost in round 1 but rebounded in round 2 defeating St Kilda by 97 points in their first home game at the Gabba.  Port and the Lions fought out 8th spot on the ladder each having 10 wins and a draw.  Brisbane played in the finals due to their superior percentage.  Perhaps inspired by the inclusion of their cross-town rivals, Adelaide won their first premiership in 1997.  They went back-to-back winning again in 1998.

The finals system was changed again in 2000.  The number of teams remained at 8 but the AFL did not want the match-ups from week one to be repeated in week 3.  The changes brought more  uncertainty and complexity to the finals match-ups but at this stage remains the AFL’s preferred system.

The early 21st century belonged to the non-Victorian clubs.  Brisbane won 3 flags in a row in 2001, 02 and 03 before falling to Port Adelaide in 2004 leaving Collingwood’s 4-in-a-row untouched. The Sydney Swans won the premiership in 2005 breaking a 72 year drought since South Melbourne had won in 1933.

The future of the AFL looks as interesting as the past.  Victorian teams with exciting squads such as St Kilda and Geelong are pushing for the premiership while Brisbane, Adelaide and West Coast continue to look strong.  Fremantle remains the only team not to have won a flag but no doubt their time will come.

In the half time, Paul Sackeyâ??s try and an drop-goal attempt of Andy put England in crucial trail just 9-8, Walesâ?? points were increased by Leigh Halfpenny  and Stephen Jones. While in second half try, Wales were in crucial position due to England indiscipline letting that made them successful to get side lead. Rugby Livescore could tell you excited position of the match.

Delon Armitage had scored with fine try to give some hope to England, but Wales held firm. Rugby results could be seen to review how many times Wales proved strong defend to protect their lead. England expectation were high at the start of the match due to the on form performance and full fledge confidence in their last victory over Italy, but early signs against Wales were not encouraging. Armitage struggled hard for a long-range and was able to drop-goal just in 30 seconds, but his poor attempt ended up well and simply handed over good possession to Wales. The home team performed well, speeding up their performance in different phases to threaten the visitors, in that time Phil Vickery managed to give up a penalty at a ruck and Jones had given a hard kick for a 3-0 lead.But the moments become more interesting to the audience in the field when that lead went on double in just on eight minutes. It was the time when Wales were on the greater range with the performance Halfpennyâ??s boot from 47 meters, anyhow his efforts brought good fruits for Wales.

Throughout the game, Wales were seen in full of attacking pace, with their soldiers Lee Byrne, Mike Phillips and Jamie Roberts all attempting half-breaks against England. It seemed that it was very tough for England to hold the procession over Wales as they do not loss any single to counter with ball holding in hands. Referee Jonathan Kaplan had already delivered some suggestion to England captain Steve Borthwick on his sides persistent at the breakdown.But trilled and suspense reached at its peak when Mike Tindall had used his  hands moments in the ruck, with Jones changing the penalty to give Wales margin of a 6-0 within16 minutes. England was not able to get even a single respite from Walesâ??s side as Kaplan penalized Vickery due to dropping the scrum. It was happened when Halfpenny stepped up to change the penalty of 40-meter.

At the fourth penalty Wales were able to get 20-8n lead over England while 25 minutes were still remaining at that time. It was very crucial time for England but they were never able to get greater confidence to win the game as they did over Italy. These are some highlights that will make you aware about the sensation and excitement of the match.

England being top ranked team has been making tactful strategies for defending and attacking positions as Coach Martin Johnson has done two changes in the team for the Six Nations clash with Wales, with recall of flanker Joe Worsley and centre Mike Tindall. Joe Worley may have great nation’s confrontations as before this, he seems unlucky fellow who has also missed last match 36-11 win against Italy due to back injury, and he is still named as out centre in place of Jamie Noon, and expects to establish partnership with Riki Flutey.This experienced pair played with superb performance in England’s 2003 World Cup and won the title of winning squad.

This time, they are looking to add some leadership and directional guidelines to Johnson’s side following his mind boggling performance over Italy in last weekend match.Worsley is generally considered as a blindside flanker at the side of his club Wasps started in 2007 world cup for England against Samoa. This thirty one years old guy has golden chance to show his performance because of the injuries problems to open side Lewis Moody, Tom Rees, and Michael Lipman.

Meanwhile another superb rugby player Andy Goode maintains his place at stand-off, and does some constant attention for fitness issues, Toby Flood comes back to the game played on 22 in place of Shane Geraghty, who is quite unlucky as he pays the price for being yellow-carded in a few minutes on last week. But interesting fact is that there is tough to make any place for Wasps star stand-off player Danny Cipriani who was named in the team of England Saxons before the match against Ireland but this game called off due to some bad weather conditions.Another player Mark Cueto is quite successful and lucky guy in retaining his place back ahead of Ugo Moyne who also missed match against Italy due to back injury problems. It is really bad news for rugby fans as many of these players are facing injuries that throw bad impact on the performance of the players.

Scrum-half Danny Care is still taking rest at home due to an ankle injury so Harry Ellis continues enjoying number nine role in place of Danny Care for the clash that is will be happening in  the Six Nations defending champions.

Rugby is considered to be one of the most violent sports activities. Rugby traumas and injuries can sometimes be very serious, since this game demands a high amount of physical energy. Known rugby injuries include shoulder, knee and ankle joint injuries, concussion and spinal injury. The most dangerous is the spinal cord injury â?? although it is rare, its results may be catastrophic.

The reasons which lead to injuries of rugby players are numerous â?? some refer to the nature of the game, other are more general. Lack of playing and training time may result in more or less serious injuries. One of the common reasons is the lack of a technique, of specific information, explaining how to protect the playerâ??s body from being injured.

Since rugby is a contact sport, injury risks are related to physical contact, primarily in tackle. Most rugby accidents involve the playersâ?? arms and hands, shoulders and back. There is also risk of fractures in the head, shoulders, arms, hands, or legs. The lack of defense in rugby, contrary to American Football, where the players use helmets, may result in head injuries.

Another reason for injuries in sports is carelessness combined with high level of adrenalin. It is known for a fact that careless player endangers not only himself but the players around him. However, the adrenalin burning in veins of young players and the desire to win the game, often results in injuries, when the players forget about the need to â??play safeâ??.

Rugby, as every other sport, demands dedication and hard training. However, it is important to follow the rules and play carefully, in order to avoid injuries.
