All Blacks first-five Beauden Barrett collected an Aaron Smith pass off the back of the scrum, scythed through the Irish defence and coasted towards the line.And then disaster almost struck.The newly crowned World Rugby Player of the Year, looking to ground the ball near the posts, veered in and found himself crunched by a Johnny Sexton tackle.As the pair slid past the in-goal, the ball looked briefly to have been held up by the Irish No.10, no doubt causing Barretts heart to jump right into his mouth.But thankfully for the Hurricanes whiz, the try was awarded by TMO to put his side ahead 14-3 and on the road to an eventual 21-9 win in Dublin.It couldve been a major embarrassment in what was otherwise an imperious display on foreign soil, producing the goods in attack, defence and with the boot.I shouldve just dotted down and made life easier, Barrett told reporters.The second angle didnt look good, but I knew that part of the ball had hit the ground on the first angle, so it was just a relief.The Dublin Test marked the sides first genuine sense of hardship in the post-Richie McCaw era, as the surprise winners in Chicago looked to compound the world champions misery.No side has defeated New Zealand back-to-back since South Africa in 2009.Barrett said his side had failed to challenge Ireland with their kicking two weeks ago and looked to atone for their disappointing performance this time around.However Barretts love for the attack, instilled through countless afternoons playing footy with his brothers in Taranaki, occasionally got the better of him.Sometimes I was a little too attacking and we werent as smart as we needed to be, but I think I was better than recent weeks, the 25-year-old said.We didnt shape them enough with the kicking so we put a lot of onus on communication and calling out space.The back-to-back Tests with Ireland will serve as invaluable scouting for next years British & Irish Lions tour, with many Irish stars in line to pull on the red jumper next July.Barrett, who labelled northern hemisphere rugby more forwards-focused and set-piece heavy, said he expected to see more than a few Irishmen on Kiwi soil.Its been a challenging week, we were pretty keen to play this game last week but had to wait.

NEW YORK -- The Mets hoped five straight days of having a designated hitter available in American League ballparks would allow Yoenis Cespedes to play through a right quadriceps injury.Cespedes instead landed on the disabled list Wednesday after the opening game of that stretch, dealing the Mets another serious blow in their quest to return to the postseason.The last at-bat, the second swing, I felt it, Cespedes said through an interpreter after Wednesdays 9-5 loss to the Yankees. Its been frustrating, because Ive lost my timing. Ive lost games. And I havent been able to contribute to the ballclub.Cespedes had been out of the starting lineup the previous three games. The injury dates to early July and forced Cespedes to skip the All-Star Game.The Mets will promote outfielder Brandon Nimmo from Triple-A Las Vegas to fill Cespedes roster spot.Nimmo had just been demoted Tuesday when Jay Bruce joined the club after being acquired from the Cincinnati Reds. Wednesday marked the debut of Cespedes and Bruce in the lineup together, batting third and fourth.I think the best option is just rest, about 10 days or so, because if I continue playing hurt, Im never going to recover, Cespedes said. [Manager] Terry [Collins] spoke with me after my last at-bat, and I told him my feelings. And after that he touched base with [general manager] Sandy [Alderson].Earlier in the day, Cespedes had been golfing, despite his recent absence from the lineup. Former major leaguer Kevin Millar tweeted a photo with Cespedes afteer a round of golf.dddddddddddd.Collins had said before the game that he had no problem with Cespedes golfing.Was he running on the course or was he walking? Did he ride a cart or was he jogging? Collins asked. I dont have any problem with it.Cespedes raised eyebrows during the National League Championship Series when he golfed in suburban Chicago on the morning of Game 4. Cespedes then departed that game with a shoulder injury. Cespedes subsequently explained that golfing relaxes him and he regularly plays during the season.In other injury news, first baseman Lucas Duda, who landed on the DL on May 23 with a stress fracture in his lower back, had a setback last week when discomfort flared up.Los Angeles-based specialist Robert Watkins recommended 30 days of rest, which probably ends Dudas season, according to Alderson. Watkins does not believe surgery ultimately will be necessary, Alderson added.Duda could be a non-tender candidate in December. He is making $6.725 million this season and is eligible for arbitration one final time this winter. Alderson suggested it is possible one of the Mets outfielders, presumably Michael Conforto or Bruce, might be asked to get acclimated to first base during the offseason.Right-hander Zack Wheeler will begin a rehab assignment on Saturday with Class A St. Lucie. Wheeler is returning from Tommy John surgery, performed in March 2015.
