England coach Eddie Jones believes Australia are the most improved side in the world but also accused the Wallabies of having an illegal scrum ahead of Saturdays Test at Twickenham.Jones declined to go into detail over his misgivings with the Australian scrum, but said he wants to meet referee Jaco Peyper early this week to tell him that they do things illegally.Wallabies coach Michael Cheika shrugged off Jones comments following their defeat in Ireland while Australian forward Dean Mumm said they would pay little attention to the noises emanating from the England camp as they look to Saturdays Test.England head into the match on a 13-match unbeaten run, one which included their 3-0 series triumph on Australian soil in June. Jones says that series victory counts for nothing ahead of this weekends match but has warned his players they will face a much-improved Australian side.What theyve done throughout the Rugby Championship and then come on tour here, is quite brilliant, their attacks become a lot more varied, their alignment is better in attack and defensively theyre making better decisions, Jones said.Key players have come back -- Will Genia at nine who I know very well is an outstanding player and at his best he was the worlds best half-back. Hes probably not quite there but hes playing some really good rugby and really adds a solid influencing role in their team.[Reece] Hodge has come in at 12, big strong lad with a big kick, hes added a bit more go-forward to their backline. Ive been real impressed with what theyve done. It makes next weeks game so exciting.Jones said there were a number of bruised bodies in the wake of their 27-14 win over Argentina and may change their training week to allow players to recover for what could be a historic match against the Wallabies. If England beat Australia then they will match the 14-match unbeaten run set by Sir Clive Woodwards 2003 vintage but Jones is paying little attention to records.The unbeaten record is a consequence of us playing well next week, so the only thing we can do next week is play well. So we dont need to talk about records, we dont need to think about them, all we need to think about is playing well. Authentic NHL Jerseys .

It just didnt show when he hit the ice.

Radwanska, making her debut in the Seoul tournament, hit eight aces in a match that lasted 1 hour, 4 minutes at Olympic Park tennis stadium.

In what the team had called a retirement, Ryan said Thursday that he is resigning as chief executive of the Rangers in a move effective at the end of this month. NEW YORK -- Jeremy Lin was briefly the biggest thing in the Big Apple, maybe in all of basketball, the last time he played in New York.Linsanity didnt last long and neither did Lins time as a starting point guard. He mostly came off the bench while playing for three teams over the last three seasons, but now hes getting another shot.The Brooklyn Nets are giving Lin the keys to their team and believe hes ready to run it.He came off the bench in Charlotte last year and did a heck of a job, but this is a little different deal now, new coach Kenny Atkinson said. Youre kind of the quarterback. Youre the Eli Manning, those guys, so theres a different level of responsibility.The Nets better hope Lin is ready for it, because there isnt much talent around him.They begin their fifth season in Brooklyn absent the high-priced star power they lined the roster with in their early years after moving from New Jersey. All-Stars such as Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett have given way to the likes of Trevor Booker, Justin Hamilton, Randy Foye, Luis Scola, Joe Harris and former No. 1 pick Anthony Bennett, players signed this summer by general manager Sean Marks.Marks also tabbed Atkinson to be the coach, and together they are talking about building for the long term. That may be a better solution, though it means the Nets wont win much now.But Lin brings some buzz from fans who remember his captivating stretch with the Knicks in 2012. The NBAs first American-born player of Chinese or Taiwanese decent started all 82 games for Houston the next season, but lost his job the following one and remained a backup as he moved to the Lakers and the Hornets, where he played behind Kemba Walker last season.The Harvard product was mainly a pick-and-roll guard when he burst on the scene five seasons ago, without much else to go to when teams took away his drives to thee basket.dddddddddddd He believes he returns with a more well-rounded game, with Atkinson urging him to trust a jump shot that wasnt previously part of his arsenal.Now if guys are forcing me left, I can go left, Lin said. If guys want me to shoot, Im not saying Ill make it every night, but Ill gladly shoot them. Ill gladly shoot open ones if they give them to me.Here are some other things to watch with the Nets:BAD BROOKLYN: At 21-61, the Nets missed the playoffs last season for the first time since moving to Brooklyn in 2012. They may not be any better this season.ATKINSON AT HOME: A respected assistant with the Knicks and Atlanta Hawks, Atkinson comes back home for his first NBA head coaching job. The Northport, New York, native will be coaching not far from the courts where he grew up playing.MAN IN THE MIDDLE: Brook Lopez averaged 20.6 points as the Nets top player last season but has been quiet in exhibition play, creating some questions about the 7-foot centers fit in Atkinsons system, which will be predicated on quick ball and player movement of the successful Hawks teams of the last few years.BOGIE BALL: Bojan Bogdanovic returns from a strong summer to an unclear fall. The top scorer in the Olympics while leading Croatia to a surprising quarterfinal spot hasnt even been starting in the preseason after averaging 11.2 points and starting about half the games last season.GROW UP FAST: The lack of veteran stars should mean plenty of opportunities for second-year players Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Chris McCullough, and eventually rookie Caris LeVert, who is still recovering from a left foot injury that cut short the first-round picks final season at Michigan.---Follow Brian Mahoney on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/Briancmahoney ' ' '
