The NSW Waratahs prospects of making the Super Rugby finals have suffered a crushing blow, with a 28-17 home loss to the Hurricanes.A magical solo try by outside centre Israel Folau helped the Waratahs overturn an early 11-0 deficit on Saturday night to lead 17-11 early in the second half.However, the Hurricanes produced an unanswered run of similar proportions with 17 unanswered points, which tilted the game irrevocably in their favour and gave New Zealand teams a 4-0 record over Australian teams in the penultimate round.The Waratahs head into next weeks final round level on points with the Brumbies, who are at the top of the Australian conference by virtue of having notched one more win.If the Waratahs lose to the Blues in Auckland next Friday, and go down without getting a bonus point, the Brumbies will wrap up the Australian conference title before their game at home to the Force on Saturday.The Hurricanes produced the more consistent, effective and enterprising play at Allianz Stadium, with classy five-eighth Beauden Barrett finishing with 18 points.Barrett made sure their early dominance was reflected on the scoreboard.He pounced on a chip kick from winger Cory Jane to score a try and slotted two penalties.NSW worked their way back into the game in the second quarter and trailed by just one point at halftime.Giant winger Taqele Naiyaravoro crashed over the line from a pick and drive, with five-eighth Bernard Foley adding a conversion and penalty.The latter kick came from the third penalty awarded to the Tahs after the halftime siren.Foleys penalty came after Hurricanes centre Willis Halaholo was sin-binned for a high tackle on the Waratahs five-eighth.Folau put the Tahs ahead in the 43rd minute, when he showed dazzling footwork to elude three defenders and run over another, with Foley converting.Jane and fellow All Blacks back Julian Savea scored well-executed tries and the Tahs were unable to reply, with Naiyaravoro sent to the sin bin for a second straight week.Waratahs coach Daryl Gibson conceded his side faced a more difficult final round assignment than the Brumbies.You saw how well the Blues played against the Brumbies (on Friday) and so to go to Eden Park and firstly win, and get a bonus point, is a hugely difficult task, Gibson said.He lamented errors and missed opportunities by his side.At times we built pressure well and then we let the Hurricanes off the hook with some mistakes and I think that was pretty costly.There was also moments in the game that we lost. We had those series of scrums on the `Canes five-metre line and came away with no points and that was pretty crucial.And then the last ten minutes of the game where we were desperately chasing a bonus point, we had three or four lineouts in reasonable position and again couldnt convert any pressure.The win clinched a finals spot for the Hurricanes.We knew what the waratahs would bring, so there was no surprises there, Hurricanes coach Chris Boyd said.We managed to repel that and get a few points our own way, so it was probably one of our better efforts of the year.Drew Pomeranz Brewers Jersey . The CFLs leading rusher kept adding to his gaudy numbers this season and scored the winning touchdown with just over two minutes to play. The New Westminster, B.C., native plowed three yards into the end zone for the last score of a heated, see-saw battle between the two teams with the best records in the CFL. Freddy Peralta Brewers Jersey . Most important, perhaps, it went off without a hitch. Organizers poked a little fun at the now-infamous opening ceremony gaffe that saw only four out of five snowflakes open up into rings, leaving the Olympics logo one ring short. https://www.cheapbrewers.com/209y-cecil-cooper-jersey-brewers.html . It was the kind of score that might make everyone else wonder which course he was playing. Except that Graeme McDowell saw the whole thing. Crouched behind the 10th green at Sheshan International, McDowell looked over at the powerful American and said, "Ive probably seen 18 of the best drives Ive seen all year in the last two days. Paul Molitor Jersey . Brad Jacobs and his Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., team took control of the game early. Teddy Higuera Brewers Jersey . Colin Wilson had two goals and an assist, and Mike Fisher scored a goal and helped set up two others in the Predators 6-4 victory over the Red Wings on Monday night.COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Georgia linebacker Davin Bellamy had a simple pregame message for his teammates eager to bounce back from an awful two weeks.Everyone in there has aspirations of playing on Sundays. Its Sunday, its time to play ball, Bellamy said.The Bulldogs did just that, rushing for a season-high 326 yards and snapping a two-game losing streak with a 28-14 victory over South Carolina on Sunday in a game pushed back a day because of Hurricane Matthew.Nick Chubb, back from a sprained left ankle, ran for 121 yards and two touchdowns and Sony Michel had 133 yards -- Georgias first game with two 100-yard backs since Chubb and Todd Gurley did it against Auburn in 2014.Chubb ran for 18 yards the first time he touched the ball. He ended the series with a 15-yard TD run to put the Bulldogs (4-2, 2-2 Southeastern Conference) ahead for good.I think that got everyone going, the whole team, Chubb said. To come out there, first play of the game getting something going.Georgia didnt stop -- except when attempting to pass. Freshman Jacob Eason finished 5 of 17 for 29 yards with a TD and an interception.Weve got to improve our ability to throw and catch the ball, Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart said.It didnt matter much against South Carolina (2-4, 1-4), which came in next to last in the SEC at stopping the run.We knew they were going to come out and run the ball. We couldnt stop them, South Carolina linebacker Bryson Allen-Williams said. Its frustrating.Georgia came in hoping to turn around a miserable stretch where it was pounded by Ole Miss (45-14), then beaten by Tennessee on a Hail Ma ry after taking the lead seconds earlier.We needed this win, Bellamy said.It felt good to know we are, Michel said. Georgia football, were going to run the football.Chubb , who had just one carry the past two games with a left-ankle sprain, was on his game from the start. He scampered 18 yards on his first carry and ended the sequence with 15-yard TD run.Chubb added a 1-yard touchdown as the Bulldogs moved in front 14-0. The Gamecocks (2-4, 1-4) could not keep up in losing their third straight game.I dont know why youre all so surprised, Chubb said. We run the ball.It was the first time since a 2014 win over Auburn that Georgia had a pair of 100-yard rushers. Chubb was part of that, too,, gaining 144 yards while Los Angeles Rams tailback Todd Gurley ran for 138.ddddddddddddThe Gamecocks cut it to 21-14 on Rico Dowdles 1-yard TD run with 1:40 left. But Terry Godwin picked up South Carolinas on-side kick attempt and took it 43 yards for a clinching score.THE TAKEAWAYGeorgia: The Bulldogs are a different team when Chubb is healthy. His powerful running makes Georgias other tailbacks in Sony Michel and Brian Herrien even more effective. The Bulldogs need help to contend in the SEC Eastern Division, but wont go anywhere without Chubb in the lineup.South Carolina: The Gamecocks once more struggled on offense, gaining only 108 yards in the opening half to fall into a hole they couldnt climb out from. The three turnovers, including an interception from starting quarterback Perry Orth, did not help either.POLL IMPLICATIONSThis game had the ultimate impact on the AP Poll -- the new rankings were delayed until Monday because this game was moved. While Georgias run game was impressive, it wasnt a surprise particularly with Chubb in the lineup. Georgia may not get enough votes to re-enter the poll after this one.MUSCHAMPS BLOODY LIPThe South Carolina coach, Will Muschamp, needed a trainer to help his bloody lip. After the game, Muschamp did not know how it happened. I got cut somewhere on the sideline, he said.MATTHEWS EFFECTSThere were few effects left over from the storm Sunday, although some letters on the stadiums highest level were removed because a few had blown off and others were loosened by the high wins. The crowd, announced at 77,221, was not close to that number, but traffic was smooth without state troopers (they were deployed to help with recovery and cleanup) on hand to help.FAST FRIENDSFormer Georgia teammates and longtime friends in Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart and Gamecocks coach Will Muschamp squared off for the first time as head coaches, although the two have coached against each other on opposing staffs.UP NEXTGeorgia: The Bulldogs return home next week to face struggling Vanderbilt.South Carolina: The Gamecocks get the week off, then step out of the SEC when they return against Massachusetts on Oct. 22.
