The Super Rugby champions Hurricanes have been rewarded in the All Blacks team named to play Australia in the Rugby Championship and Bledisloe Cup opener on Saturday.Beauden Barrett has rightly been named the starting fly-half. What more could he do? Hes starred in winning a Super Rugby Championship, hes in the best form of his life, and he signed off last year in the Rugby World Cup with a fantastic try -- just one of several quality tries he has scored in his career. Hes just been sublime.Aaron Cruden has been Cruden. Hes safe but theres just that much more x-factor about Barrett. Crudens 25 and he was the incumbent after he started the third Test against Wales, and its tough on him to be named on the bench; but it was going a tougher call not to select Barrett.Thats the cut-throat environment were in, and it comes down to that fine line about who is that little bit better; and form is an important part of that.The choice at flanker was another tough call, especially with Sam Cane having suffered concussion issues, but I trust the judgement of medical staff. They know better than anyone that concussion is a medical issue in the spotlight and the eyes of the nation, and the world will analyse everything that is being done.There were other interesting selections, especially in the midfield now that Sonny Bill Williams is out for the year. They have stuck with Ryan Crotty and Malakai Fekitoa, but you cant say those positions were in any way locked down. It was interesting that Anton Lienert-Brown had been brought in, and Seta Tamanivalu will have been made aware that it is all about keeping performing and staying in that environment.The All Blacks have struggled to be consistent winners in Sydney over the past few years. In fact, it is probably the world venue where it is hardest for them to win now. And thats because Sydney is the home of Australian rugby; whichever ground they use in Sydney, its their Eden Park. Its always a tough place to go, and Australia at home has always been hard.So it will be a good way to kick off what is looking like an exciting Rugby Championship.In some ways, there are other things hanging on the game: It is going to be a test of Australias policy vs. New Zealands regarding the selection of players from overseas.It is tough for players when they are coming back from overseas contracts for periodic Test duty. Its a hard ask. Theyre coming from different environments. When you go overseas and play, you immerse yourself in that teams environment and you get used to what that team needs and what their requirements are.Southern hemisphere rugby is a different style, and to go back to what you were probably raised playing is not easy. And I imagine it is a lot harder for backs than it is for forwards. The game is faster down here and what can be seen as form in the northern hemisphere is one heartbeat or a hairs breadth off the sort of reaction times in New Zealand, Australian or South African sides.In that regard, I think New Zealand has got the policy right; it works for us and it keeps us strong. If we are going to have a global season that is one of the compromises we will have to look at, but it doesnt look like that is going to happen.The scrum is an area that will be interesting in Sydney. The Australian sides looked to have improved in Super Rugby, but I dont think the scrum is as important now as it had been previously; you can still get a penalty when youre getting pushed backwards at scrum time.The scrum has become a liability about who is going to be penalised, and thats a blight on our game. When youre supposed to have a re-start you have no idea what the outcome is going to be. You could be twice as dominant as your opposition but it doesnt always go your way.I hope there are reviews, test cases or people analysing how to improve the scrum, and coming up with different ideas, but it just seems that for the past 15 years we havent got it right.I noted that former England coach Stuart Lancaster was out at Pukekohe for the All Blacks warm-up run against Counties Manukau and Northland last Friday. I think it is great that a coach like him, who went through what he did at the Rugby World Cup last year, is still prepared to learn.Fair play to him. Hes come to the right country to learn, and you never, ever, stop learning when youre coaching. Its like the game; its always evolving and youve just got to try to keep bettering yourself. You ask if the Rugby World Cup in 2015 will make Stuart Lancaster a better coach, and you have to say, absolutely. Cheap NFL Jerseys Free Shipping . 31, the CFL club announced Monday.

Both Toro Rosso drivers were penalised in separate incidents at the Mexican Grand Prix, with Sainz handed a five-second time penalty for forcing Fernando Alonso off-track at the start of the race. Sainz insists he has seen similar incidents go unpunished.Ive seen less [penalties] for more, the Spaniard said. I heard that [in Mexico] there were very similar situations with mine and Fernandos incident and that there were no penalties. This is what Formula One needs to understand, either to look at it incident by incident or to put a fixed rule.Nowadays its difficult to know what will happen to you if you do a certain move that is a tiny bit on the limit. Its a bit of a lottery to get a penalty or not. Us drivers need to race with a very clear thing in mind when we overtake a guy.F1s current judicial system sees three FIA-appointed representatives adjudicating on each grand prix, including an experienced former driver. An additional steward is nominated by the National Sporting Authority of the country holding the race. However the panel is not permanent, something Sainz feels should be changed.Ive said [F1 should have fixed stewards] my whole Formula 1 career. Its understandable -- humans are humans -- you wiill have a different opinion to me, so every race there will be very different opinions.ddddddddddddAt the moment we never know what to expect about a move or after an accident After seeing Fernando on the grass in Mexico do they give me a penalty or do they think it was a great move? [With fixed stewards] probably the criteria will be a lot closer every weekend.Kvyat was also hit with a five-second penalty for being adjudged to have left the track when overtaking Romain Grosjean, and joined his teammate in criticising F1s decision-making process.They are really inconsistent these guys, Kvyat said. Im very unhappy with how they make the decisions to be honest. Theres really no consistency, no anything. Massa and Alonso in Austin, and me and Grosjean here -- a completely different reaction. I disagree with that but I have no influence in this anymore.When asked if he plans to bring up the debate at the drivers briefing in Brazil on Friday, the Russian replied: To be honest I find it a bit boring to talk about this, its a big waste of time. Everybody is talking about it and, what is the result? They still do the same.In those briefings, they talk, talk, talk, I dont want to waste my time for this because they are going to do their own thing anyway. Honestly I dont have a clear clue on how they should do these things. Gravel traps is a good solution, like someone suggested I think. ' ' '
