Poor discipline could cost England - Woodward

Published in Rugby
Sunday, 15 September 2019 05:28

Poor discipline could be the only "chink" in England's chances of winning the Rugby World Cup, says former head coach Sir Clive Woodward.

Woodward guided England to World Cup glory in 2003 and says they can emulate that achievement in Japan - if they can keep 15 men on the pitch.

He believes some players' "track records" could prove costly.

Eddie Jones' England play Tonga in their tournament opener in Sapporo next Sunday (11:15 BST).

They then meet the United States before tougher examinations against Argentina and France complete their group fixtures.

"There's many strengths," Woodward told BBC Radio 5 Live's Sportsweek on Sunday. "They've got this very powerful team.

"This is what I call an X-factor team - but quite a few of the starting XV have got a track record of losing it in a game when under pressure.

"There's been a lot of focus on the rules regarding neck-high tackles. If you're playing France and Argentina, top teams, and get a guy sent off then the chance of winning that game is going to be very difficult.

"You need every single player to play under pressure and play within the laws of the game."

Australian Jones replaced Stuart Lancaster as head coach after hosts England were knocked out at the group stage of the 2015 World Cup.

Woodward, who led the side from 1997-2004, is confident they will reach the final on 2 November in Yokohama but says they must set the pace in matches.

"Eddie came into the job thinking English rugby is tough and combustible, as he's called it," said the 63-year-old.

"He's built an England team around how he saw England playing in the past. They are tough and very aggressive. The key thing for me is they've got to play quick.

"It doesn't matter how tough and physical you are, if you play slowly you are not going to win. If they can play at a real pace they have got every chance."

JAMAICA, Va. – Brandon Overton is $50,000 richer after winning the FASTRAK World Championship for crate dirt late models on Saturday night at Virginia Motor Speedway.

Making a rare appearance in a crate late model, had the dominant car most of the weekend. Finishes of first and second in his heat races gave him a front row starting position, which he happily took advantage of.

He overtook polesitter Logan Roberson early in the race and then held off Ross Bailes during several restarts to take the checkered flag in the 75-lap feature.

Bailes ended up second, followed by Trent Ivey, Justin Williams and Roberson.

The finish:

Brandon Overton, Ross Bailes, Trent Ivey, Justin Williams, Logan Roberson, Michael Brown, Mark Whitener, Dillon Brown, Ches Chester, Kyle Lukon, Tyler Bare, Jimmy Sharpe Jr., Alex Ferree, Brett Hamm, Corey Dunn, Christian Hanger, Jason Fitzgerald, Corey Almond, Kyle Lear, Dale Hollidge, Donnie Dotson, Forrest Trent, Jensen Ford, Kyle Hardy, Tyler Carpenter, Russell Erwin, Clay Harris, Benji Hicks.

Gravel Romps To Calistoga Score

Published in Racing
Sunday, 15 September 2019 03:30

CALISTOGA, Calif. — David Gravel drove his Jason Johnson Racing sprint car to his eighth World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series victory of the season during Saturday night’s Wine Country Outlaw Showdown at Calistoga Speedway.

“Feels good to get another win,” Gravel said. “I feel like we could have won last night (at Stockton Dirt Track). To let that slip away, it feels good to get a win.”

Gravel dominated the night, but Californian Brad Sweet, looking to close the points gap between he and points leader Donny Schatz, nearly stole the victory

The two drivers started the night in polar opposite scenarios. Sweet qualified 17th out of 22 cars. Gravel set quick time for the 15th time this season and set a track record for Calistoga Speedway with a time of 15.672 seconds.

Both drivers went on to finished second in their Drydene Heat race. However, Gravel fell from first to second and Sweet charged from sixth to second. Their performance put them both in the DIRTVision Fast Pass Dash, which Gravel drew the pole for and then went on to win.

At the start of the 25-lap feature, Gravel launched to the lead and Sweet – who started third – took second from Logan Schuchart. Riding the high line of the half-mile track, Gravel gapped Sweet by close to half a track.

On lap five that changed. Gravel had to wait on the throttle for the slower car of Stephan Ingraham blocking his line, killing his momentum. That allowed Sweet to cut Gravel’s lead in half. After they crossed the line for lap seven, Sweet threw a slide job at Gravel going into turn one. He rocketed underneath the Mesilla Valley Transportation No. 41 car and put his NAPA Auto Parts No. 49 car in the lead by turn two.

“I got to the 93 car (of Ingraham) at a bad spot and tried to slid him, it was a dumb mistake on my part,” Gravel said. “I deserved to lose the lead there. Racing all of these races, you should know better than that.”

Gravel was able to still exit the corner better than Sweet, though. He hammered the throttle off the turn with the confidence his rear tires would hold on to every inch of the clay surface. They did and he powered back by Sweet going into turn three.

However, Gravel got out of shape on corner entrance, slowing his pace. Sweet was directly behind him and also had to slow to avoid running into Gravel. Before Sweet could attempt a run underneath him on the exit of turn four, a caution came out for Shane Stewart slowing on track.

Gravel launched back to the lead with Sweet behind him on the restart. Less than 10 laps later, Gravel found himself back on Ingraham’s bumper. Back to having to slow his momentum. And back to having to worry about Sweet breathing down his neck.

Before Sweet could strike again, another caution came out. This time for Chase Johnson having motor issues that resulted in a burst of flames underneath his car, which extinguished by the time he stopped the car.

“It’s one of those things, man, it’s part of dirt-track racing, you’ve got to be good in lapped traffic and luckily we were,” Gravel said.

Lined up single file for the restart with eight laps to go, Gravel bested Sweet and third-place Schuchart on the start pulling away by several car lengths before the flag stand.

With clean air in front of him and no lap traffic to deal with, Gravel put the cap on his dominating night by leading all 25 laps and winning his first race at Calistoga Speedway.

Sweet had to settle for second but narrowed Schatz’s point lead to 10 markers.

“The cautions just kind of came at the wrong time for us,” Sweet said. “He would get out front with clean air and we could stay a half straightaway behind. You needed lap traffic to break his pace… We’ll take it after our qualifying effort. It’s a good rebound for our NAPA Auto Parts car. We’ve got a big picture going on here.”

Reutzel Cashes In At Atomic Speedway

Published in Racing
Sunday, 15 September 2019 03:31

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — Aaron Reutzel added another handsome payday to his stellar season, winning Saturday night’s Dean Knittel Memorial for the Ollie’s Bargain Outlet All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 sprint cars at Atomic Speedway.

Nearly sweeping the entire evening program, Reutzel earned his $12,554 score in fantastic fashion, ultimately leading all 30 circuits while holding off Cole Duncan.

The victory bumped Reutzel’s All Star season win total to 13, now 22 on his career

“This is really cool,” Reutzel said in victory lane, driver of the Baughman-Reutzel Motorsports/Folkens Brothers Trucking/Fischer Body Shop/Hollywood Blasting and Coating/No. 87 sprint car. “Hats off to the entire Knittel Family for putting up this kind of money for us to race for. From one driver to the next, we really appreciate it.”

Although Reutzel was on the point for all 30 laps, Duncan did everything he could to drive around the current All Star Circuit of Champions point leader.

A quick, but abrasive racing surface did make things difficult for Duncan, but on more than one occasion, the local favorite put himself in position to capitalize.

The main event’s second and final caution flag set up Duncan’s eventual late-race surge for the lead. Helping set Duncan’s stage, traffic entered the picture on lap 18 ultimately slowing Reutzel’s pace around the middle and top of the speedway.

By lap 21, Duncan was all over the back bumper of Reutzel, chasing the Texan as the duo started to enter slower traffic. Despite keeping pace with the defending All Star champion for the next three circuits, Reutzel soon discovered another gear, eventually finding a way to put a lapped car between himself and Duncan.

The trend continued on lap 26 when Reutzel found his way around another slower car, now separating himself from Duncan with two lappers. By the checkered flag, Reutzel’s command was nearly two seconds.

“I felt like I was good enough to win the last two nights, but I kinda gave them away,” Reutzel continued. “I got a phone call from the guys at Fischer Body Shop today and they were kinda giving me a hard time. I wanted to make sure I didn’t give this one up.”

Duncan held on to finish second, followed by Jimmy Stinson, Chad Kemenah and Dale Blaney.

The finish:

Feature (30 Laps): 1. 87-Aaron Reutzel [1]; 2. 22C-Cole Duncan [2]; 3. 4X-Jimmy Stinson [7]; 4. K4-Chad Kemenah [4]; 5. 11-Dale Blaney [10]; 6. 9-James McFadden [11]; 7. 3-Jac Haudenschild [5]; 8. 81-Lee Jacobs [13]; 9. 4-Cap Henry [16]; 10. 14-Tim Shaffer [12]; 11. 70-Brock Zearfoss [8]; 12. 60-Kory Crabtree [6]; 13. 70X-Justin Peck [17]; 14. 99-Skylar Gee [15]; 15.

Cummins Is 7-For-7 At Tri-State

Published in Racing
Sunday, 15 September 2019 03:32

HAUBSTADT, Ind. — Kyle Cummins is seven-for-seven at Tri-State Speedway this season.

The Indiana sprint car driver’s latest victory came in Saturday night’s Haubstadt Hustler for the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship and the Brandeis Midwest Sprint Car Series.

Cummins banked $10,000 for winning the 40-lap event.

Despite the blistering run of success, which now includes three USAC victories in 2019, Cummins was cautious to call his shot ala Babe Ruth entering the night.

“I felt like after winning this many in a row here, I was bound to lose because everything’s been going right and we really haven’t had a real bad night,” Cummins admitted. “Throughout a whole season, the more good nights you have, the bad ones are right around the corner.”

Cummins took the early lead, but fell back to second when point leader C.J. Leary took control on the third lap.

Traffic was thick entering the 10th lap for Leary as he swung high and dove low to split his way to the nearest escape route away from Cummins, but to no avail, as his lead diminished and Cummins was prime to strike on the 12th lap when Leary got himself sideways in the middle of turns three and four.

The evening’s lone red flag arrived on the 16th lap when fast qualifier and fourth-running Justin Grant flipped exiting turn four.

The lapped car of Kevin Thomas Jr. separated Cummins and Leary on the lap-17 restart. Leary disposed of Thomas quickly around the top in turn one, but Cummins had scooted away to a one second advantage by that point, forcing Leary into catchup mode right off the bat.

Just after halfway, Cummins was rapidly approaching lapped traffic, allowing Tyler Courtney to rip by Leary for second, then carve deeply into Cummins’ advantage, whittling the interval down to a quarter of a second.

On the 27th lap, Cummins met the side-by-side duo of Doug Christie and Brian Karraker, both on the cusp of being put a lap down while battling for position.  Cummins was briefly stifled behind the pair before opting for the top at the entry of turn three with Courtney now less than a car length off Cummins’ rear bumper.

Lapped traffic played a key role on the quarter-mile track.

“One time I thought (a car in front of me) had spun out,” Cummins remembered. “I’m not sure who it was, but I was crossed up as much as I could be, and I thought they had spun out.  I really had to backpedal, and when I came off the corner there, I thought, ‘man, I’m really scrubbing off some speed.’ I didn’t know where they were running, so I decided to get away from the bottom and run a couple laps around the top. Then, we got to the next group and they were running the top. It seemed like if you pressured them a little bit, they would slide up.  I didn’t feel like (Courtney) was going to pass around the top if they were there too.”

Courtney tried with all his might, riding high into turn one and diamonding off two to get a run on Cummins. Cummins wasn’t about to give Courtney an open door to the front as the defending USAC Sprint champ harassed Cummins, doing everything but passing the new all-time winningest MSCS driver with the laps dwindling.

With three laps to go, heartbreak befell fourth-running Jason McDougal who slowed to a stop in turn two after charging from his 21st starting position. For Cummins, though, it was a godsend to get to step out of the line of traffic for good for the final dash to the finish.

From there, Cummins buttoned up his sixth USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car feature victory, four of which have come at Tri-State Speedway, by a margin of 0.879 seconds over Courtney.

Leary, Kendall Ruble and Windom rounded out the top five.

Owens Goes Back To Back At Knoxville

Published in Racing
Sunday, 15 September 2019 03:47

KNOXVILLE, Iowa — Jimmy Owens became just the second driver in the history of the Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals to win the $40,000 event in back-to-back years Saturday night at Knoxville Raceway.

Owens joins fellow Volunteer State driver Mike Marlar as the only drivers in the 16-year-history of the crown jewel event to win in consecutive years.

Owens took the lead from Brandon Sheppard on lap 86 and held off one final charge from Sheppard exiting turn four to take the win.

Sheppard finished in second with Hudson O’Neal charging from the back after making two pit stops to Owens and Sheppard on the podium.

Devin Moran, in his first start in the Knoxville finale, finished in fourth with Kyle Bronson coming from his 20th starting position to round out the top five.

Polesitter Shane Clanton grabbed the lead at the start of the event with fellow front-row starter Darrell Lanigan running in second. Those two ran 1-2 for the first 44 laps of the race until Sheppard was able to get by Lanigan after a lap-44 caution flag.

Clanton led the first 55 circuits of the race until a restart on lap 56 allowed Chris Madden to become the first car to lead other than Clanton. Madden was seeking his first Knoxville win after being absent from the speedway for nearly twelve years.

Once in front, Madden started to pull away from Clanton. Clanton slowed on lap 72 with a broken axle, bringing his night to an end. On the restart, Sheppard became the third different leader of the race as he zipped around the top to take over the lead from Madden.

Like Madden did before him, Sheppard was pulling away from the field. However, the race for the top spot was far from over. Owens took second on lap 80 from Madden in swift fashion but was still several car lengths behind Sheppard. With 20 laps remaining, Owens found the momentum he was looking for, and with that rally he began slicing into Sheppard’s lead.

The laps were winding down in rapid-fire fashion, and Owens was ready to pounce. He darted under Sheppard with fourteen laps to go and wrestled the lead away from the fellow Rocket Chassis driver. Sheppard was not done though.

Owens had to battle traffic in front of him and Sheppard was able to make one last-lap ditch effort to steal the win from Owens, but came up just short at the finish line.

Owens started 18th and made history in event as no other driver has ever started that deep in the pack and managed a victory.

“We had a really good car. We had to be married to that top way more than I wanted to, but our tires fired up and we got going really well,” Owens said. “We chased Sheppard down in lapped traffic and we had one opportunity to get by him, so we took it the best we could. On that last lap I could hear him [Sheppard]. I didn’t know if he was above me or below me. I figured if he was below me, he couldn’t get around me so I just scooted down the track a little bit to kill his line coming off of turn four and I thought, well heck if it’s going to be a drag-race, maybe we can beat him to the line.”

Sheppard once again felt the disappointment of coming up just short of his and car owner Mark Richards’ first win at Knoxville.

“That was the most fun I have had in a race car in a while,” he said. “Jimmy did a heck of a job and my hat is off to him. He was there when he needed to be. There were a few things during the race that made me run harder than I wanted to. I am just disappointed; we had a really fast race car.”

Hudson O’Neal came home with his best career Knoxville Nationals finish.

“We were somewhere around 15th-20th place for most of the race. We made a pit-stop before the fuel-stop and I think it really brought the car to life. It definitely got the car a whole lot better because it was more maneuverable. I had some good restarts, and I think on that last one, we drove past four cars through the middle. Everything has to line up to drive from the back like that.”

The finish:

Feature (100 Laps): 1. 20, Jimmy Owens, Newport, TN (18); 2. 1s, Brandon Sheppard, New Berlin, IL (9); 3. 71, Hudson O’Neal, Morgantown, IN (16); 4. 1D, Devin Moran, Dresden, OH (17); 5. 40B, Kyle Bronson, Brandon, FL (20); 6. 0m, Chris Madden, Gray Court, SC (4); 7. 2s, Stormy Scott, Las Cruces, NM (23); 8. 7w, Ricky Weiss, Headingley, MB, Can.

GLENEAGLES, Scotland – If Lexi Thompson is going to win her singles match and earn her first full point of this Solheim Cup, she’s going to have to battle more than opponent Georgia Hall.

According to Golf Channel’s Jerry Foltz, Thompson tweaked her back on the range Sunday morning at Gleneagles. Thompson’s agent, Bobby Kreusler, told Golf Channel that Thompson’s back was in “full spasm,” adding that Thompson wasn’t sure if she’d be able to play – or finish.

Thompson was able to tee off in her 12:04 p.m. loca-time match, but caddie Benji Thompson had to tee the ball up for her. Lexi was noticeably uncomfortable as she bent down to read her birdie putt on the first hole, grabbing her back in the process.

However, Thompson did win the first hole against Hall with par and hit a long drive at the par-5 second to set up a hole-tying birdie.

Thompson played in three of the first four sessions, earning half-points in both fourball matches.

Source: Messi trains ahead of UCL opener

Published in Soccer
Sunday, 15 September 2019 05:05

Lionel Messi handed Barcelona a fitness boost on Sunday as he returned to full training ahead of Tuesday's Champions League opener against Borussia Dortmund in Germany, a source has told ESPN FC.

The source also revealed that Messi took part in a mini-game with his teammates on Friday, too. The Argentine wasn't present for the 15 minutes which were open to the media, but did emerge afterwards as he stepped up his recovery from a calf injury.

- UCL draw: Madrid get PSG; Barca, BVB, Inter together
- Ogden: Draw good for English clubs; tricky for Spain
- Champions League group stage: Day-by-day fixtures
- ESPN Champions League fantasy: Sign up now!

Messi, 32, injured his calf in his first training session of preseason on Aug. 5, ruling him out of the club's tour of the United States. Barca initially expected him to be out for three weeks but he has still not returned and has not featured in any of their four league games to date.

As Ernesto Valverde said on Friday, he's unlikely to be rushed back or risked against Dortmund, but he is in line to make his first appearance of the season against Granada next Saturday.

However, he could still travel to Germany this week -- although that doesn't mean he will play. Barca fly to Dortmund on Monday, with the squad expected to be announced by Valverde as close to their flight as possible.

Ousmane Dembele is also closing in on a return to action. The France forward did some light training with his teammates on Sunday but is still a week or so away from a first-team comeback.

Dembele injured his hamstring in the opening day defeat at Athletic Bilbao and was ruled out for five weeks.

Meanwhile, Luis Suarez made his return from a calf problem in Saturday's 5-2 win over Valencia, scoring twice as a second-half substitute.

With Messi, Dembele and Suarez all nearing full fitness, Valverde faces a potential selection headache down the line given how well their deputies have done while they've been injured.

Antoine Griezmann, Carles Perez and 16-year-old Ansu Fati have all had good games, with the latter stealing the show against Valencia.

He scored one and created another inside the first seven minutes as he made his first start for the club, prompting Valverde to say Barcelona must try and "control the hype" which is now surrounding the teenager.

How Broad has owned Warner

Published in Cricket
Sunday, 15 September 2019 05:48

Stuart Broad removed David Warner for the seventh time in the series in Australia's second innings at The Oval to complete one of the more one-sided contests between a batsman and a bowler you will see, causing havoc with his around-the-wicket line. Here's how it's been recorded by our commentary team

Edgbaston, 1st innings

3.5 NOW THAT'S OUT!! Full and fast, pinned in front of middle and leg! Warner is gone, no attempt even to review - Broad has burst through in the fourth over of the morning, and Edgbaston is all over this! "Cheerio, cheerio!" they crow, as Warner grits his teeth and heads for the dressing rooms. But hang on, because Hawk-Eye now has its say: and the ball was missing leg!! So a Tale of Two Missed Reviews ends with Warner back in the hutch for spit

Edgbaston, 2nd innings

2.6 huge appeal from Bairstow and the slips! Broad isn't so sure, but the cordon is adamant there was a noise as Warner flirted outside off! It's gone to a review and the crowd like what they've seen already! Almost off the back of the bat as Warner tried to leave that uncomfortable kicking back-of-a-length, and that's 450 wickets for Broad, and a massive one at that!

Lord's, 1st innings

4.2 bowled 'im, shaves the leg bail! Big nip-backer from round the wicket and Warner goes cheaply again! Broad the man to get him for the third time in a row this series, slightly rickety defensive shot but that was a sweet cherry - and England have their opening

Headingley, 2nd innings

1.2 big appeal... given! Wilson looked like he shook his head, and then stuck the finger up - utterly bizarre - and Warner sends it upstairs... impact umpire's call, and smashing into leg stump on with the angle! Warner's struggles against Broad continue! Wide on the crease again from Broad - you know the drill now when he's bowling to Warner - and moved in off the seam to thwack him on the pad

Old Trafford, 1st innings

0.4 caught behind! Five times for Broad! Warner trying to leave made his decision to late! Got a little outside edge before withdrawing the bat. Easy catch for Bairstow! It was a good length but way wide of off. It didn't shape away much. The tightness of the previous leave maybe caused doubt for Warner and he was too late to withdraw the bat!

Old Trafford, 2nd innings

0.6 given lbw! Broad's done it again! A straighter delivery, good length, spears into the pads and Warner is trapped deep in the crease. A pair for Warner, his first in Tests and three ducks in a row

The Oval, 2nd innings

6.4 gone! Do not adjust your monitors, Stuart Broad has got David Warner again! Again, you know the drill. Round the wicket, on a length, Warner has a nibble at it, and edges it to slip where Burns takes a good catch. Seven times in the series!

Afghanistan opt to bat, both teams unchanged

Afghanistan chose to bat v Bangladesh

Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan won the toss and chose to bat against Bangladesh in the third match of the tri-series. With each side having won one game in the competition, the winner will move to the top of the table.

Both sides have stuck with the winning combination that saw them beat Zimbabwe in their respective encounters. History is stacked in favour of Afghanistan, who won the bilateral T20I series 3-0 last year. The only time Bangladesh have beaten the visitors in this format was in their very first encounter in 2014.

Bangladesh: 1 Liton Das, 2 Soumya Sarkar, 3 Shakib Al Hasan (capt), 4 Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), 5 Mahmudullah, 6 Sabbir Rahman, 7 Mosaddek Hossain, 8 Afif Hossain, 9 Mohammad Saifuddin, 10 Taijul Islam, 11 Mustafizur Rahman

Afghanistan: 1 Hazratullah Zazai, 2 Karim Janat, 3 Najeeb Tarakai, 4 Asghar Afghan, 5 Mohammad Nabi, 6 Najibullah Zadran, 7 Gulbadin Naib, 8 Rahmanullah Gurbanz (wk), 9 Rashid Khan (capt), 10 Fareed Ahmed, 11 Mujeeb Ur Rahman
