Ulster secured their place in the Guinness PRO12 play-offs as they ran in six tries in their 46-26 victory at Ospreys. Dan Biggars score had given Ospreys an early lead before Paddy Jackson and Rory Best put the Irish province in front.Josh Matavesi pulled the hosts level briefly but Andrew Trimbles try sent Ulster into the break 21-14 ahead. And the visitors were to retain their lead for the rest of the match as Chris Henry, Stuart Olding and Franco van der Merwe also dotted down for Ulster, with Tom Grabhams double proving to be merely consolation.Ulster will now have to go to Connacht in the PRO12 semi-final while it is back to the drawing board for Ospreys, who have never previously failed to qualify for the top tier of European competition.Ospreys made their intentions known from the start by turning down kickable penalties in the pursuit of tries and the hope of a bonus point victory. The Sky Sports panel discuss the thrilling conclusion to the Guinness PRO12 regular season And after 12 minutes the plan was going well when Biggar went over the posts from a scrum to convert his own try.But Ospreys found themselves getting turned over too much in Ulsters 22 and it was the visitors who struck with two tries in the space of 10 minutes.Both scores came from scrums as Jackson was put over by full-back Jared Payne before skipper Best went in from 10 metres out. Jackson converted both scores as Ulster led 14-7 on 27 minutes. Josh Matavesi celebrates scoring Ospreys second try against Ulster But the home side got back on level terms when Matavesi reached out to score after the Welsh side ran a penalty. Biggar converted.It looked like the half would end 14-14 but a poor kick ahead by Rhys Webb was returned by Trimble and he got lucky with the bounce from his chip ahead to run in a final-minute try. Jackson put over his third conversion.It took until only the second minute of the second half for Ulster to open up a 10-point lead when Jackson converted their first penalty of the match. Ruan Pienaars kick is charged down by Rhys Webb The Ospreys did respond with an attack inspired by replacement Olly Cracknell but again they were guilty of turning over ball in Ulsters 22.On 56 minutes Henry scored an opportunist try by touching the ball down when it squeezed out of a ruck to give Ulster the bonus-point try.It was a controversial moment with the home crowd not liking the decision after television match official Derek Bevan advised referee Marius Mitrea he could award the try. Jackson converted and then kicked a penalty as Ulster led 34-14 in the 60th minute.Ospreys scored a third try when Grabham went over in the right corner. Biggar missed the conversion.But three minutes later replacement Olding was put over under the posts for Jackson to add his fifth consecutive conversion.Five minutes from time Grabham went over for his second and Ospreys bonus-point try but it was too little, too late.And before the end Van der Merwe crashed over for try No 6, but Trimble missed the conversion.

JOHNS, N. Wholesale Air Max For Sale . -- In one brief spurt, Brazil turned a close game into a rout and proved again it will be a strong World Cup favourite. Wholesale Air Max China . The defending champion beat Gael Monfils of France 7-6 (6), 6-3, while second-seeded Andy Murray of Britain dispatched Edouard Roger-Vasselin, also of France, 6-3, 6-3. Making his first appearance since injuring his wrist a month ago, Del Potro had difficulty with his service games in the first set. Andy Murrays approach to his craft is supremely rational, his belief in sports science unquestioned. Ivan Lendl, Murrays coach, is a meticulous crosser of ts and dotter of is. The team that Murray has assembled leaves no stone unturned in its effort to keep Murray running, mentally as well as physically, like an exquisitely tuned race car.So why do Murrays wheels keep falling off at unexpected times?Its a fascinating quirk in a player who undeniably has greatness stitched into his muscle fibers. Murray is an elite, but hes still capable of shocking us with a spectacular, unexpected collapse. Its a seismic event, like the demolition of a giant old stadium by dynamite -- only nobody told the neighbors it was going to happen. The latest failure occurred in New York and just days ago in Glasgow, Scotland.Murray was on fire and on point all summer. He had gone 42-4 up to his quarterfinal meeting with Kei Nishikori at the US Open on Sept. 7, with four titles (including a major at Wimbledon and the Olympic gold medal).At the same time, US Open defending champion Novak Djokovic was struggling with his game as well as unspecified personal issues. The tea leaves all pointed to Murray making a sensational breakthrough, perhaps even shattering Djokovics long stranglehold on the mens game.But Nishikori took Murray out in Flushing Meadows in five sets. Then, not quite two weeks later in Murrays native Scotland, Juan Martin del Potro added insult to injury. He avenged his gold-medal-round loss to Murray in Rio de Janeiro with a five-hour, five-set Davis Cup win that paved the way for Argentinas advance to the final.Of course, Murray is still ranked No. 2 and his position among the elites is secure. It has been since long before Roger Federers left knee buckled or Rafael Nadals warrior spirit turned pacifist. Murrays haul of a dozen Masters 1000 titles and his basic Grand Slam consistency justify his inclusion. He occupies a weight class above that of US Open champ Stan Wawrinka, but note that the Swiss now has the same number of Grand Slam titles (three). Wawrinka is the first to advise others not to read too muchh into the Grand Slam title count.ddddddddddddYes, I have three Grand Slams, Wawrinka said after winning the US Open. How many Masters 1000 have Murray? [The Big Four] have been there since 10 years. They have not only been winning, but being in semifinal, final every time. Thats why Im not there.All true. But had Murray found a way past Nishikori, Wawrinka might not be having to plead his unworthiness. Also, pundits might be talking about a true horse race for the No. 1 spot in 2017, between Murray and Djokovic.Instead, Wawrinka has inserted himself into the conversation as the best big-match player. At the same time, a lot of the air went out of the Murray balloon. Did he win Wimbledon and Olympic singles gold because he was able to navigate around Djokovic? Some will say so. The one reality is that when it seemed a showdown was imminent in New York, it was Murray who failed to show up.The intriguing thing isnt that Murray lost to Nishikori, the 2014 finalist, but how he went down. Murray was up a set and a break, and seemed to be in control after he put down a Nishikori insurrection and won the third set. But Murray became upset when chair umpire Maria Cicak halted play midpoint at 1-1, 30-40 in the fourth set after a gong-like sound was heard inside the stadium. It all slid away from there.Afterward, Murray downplayed the role of the distraction and his subsequent tiff with officials in his news conference. Instead, he turned philosopher: I could have won the match for sure. But, you know, I have also won some over the last few months that I should have lost.Murray wasnt about to flagellate himself after his critical loss to del Potro less than two weeks later.I did great today, Murray said. Im very proud of how I played. I thought I did fantastic. I fought for every point, tried as best as I could. Thats all you can do.Well, almost. Murray still needs to look for a way to tighten the lug nuts on his wheels for one or two more critical occasions during a career run.
