The greatest triumph of the prelims of day 2 at the 2012 Australian Nationals and Olympic Trials turned into the greatest disappointment of the evening session, as Ian Thorpe failed to advance any further, despite giving fans a jolt of excitement. But his was really the only low point of this meet, as there were lifetime bests, top-5 times, National Records, and barriers broken in the rest of this finals session.
Men's 200 Free Semi's
When Thorpe qualified through from the prelims to the semi's in this 200 free, which may have been his best opportunity to qualify for London (despite his claims to be a 100 man now), the buzz grew. Not sure because he made the top 16; that doesn't take much from a global scale. But because of how he did it. He took the race out very hard, leading everyone at the halfway mark, and then had what appeared to be a break-slamming final 50 meters to coast to a 5th-seed. But it was a fragile 5th seed, as some very young competitors were nipping at his heels. That included one Thomas Fraser-Holmes, who told media after breaking the 400 IM National Record that Thorpe was old news.
Despite pulling off and trying to save some energy in the prelims, however, Thorpe was unable to match his pace in the semi's, and ended up placing 12th overall in 1:49.91.
He still went out faster than anybody else in the field, though not quite as fast as he did in the prelim. Yet he fell apart just as hard (if not worse) on the second-half of the race.
Meanwhile, Ryan Napoleon held his ground as the top seed with a 1:47.51, while Fraser-Holmes backed up his public criticisms of Thorpe by placing 2nd in 1:47.57. Kenrick Monk, the man who became somewhat of a villain after filing a false police report in a phantom homicide attempt against his person, put himself in position to make the Olympic team with a 1:47.92. That would be huge, as he's only been back in competing for a month after the nasty skateboarding incident that fractured his elbow.
David McKeon and Cameron McEvoy also kept themselves alive by tying for 7th, respectively. McEvoy, the 17-year old out of Southport, is everybody's favorite sleeper pick to make these Olympic freestyle relays, will have to do better than the 1:48.35, but the gap isn't really that great towards the top 6, either.
Thorpe now goes back on ice until Sunday morning (Saturday evening in the US), where he will begin the prelims of the 100 free.
Men's 100 Breaststroke Finals
Meanwhile, the pool at the Adelaide Swim Center was buzzing well before Thorpe took the water, as Christian Sprenger became the first swimmer in the world to break a minute this season when he won the 100 breaststroke in 59.91.
That is, in fact, the only time he's done so outside of the polyurethane-suited 2009 World Championships, which was his big breakout meet. This was then inevitably the 2nd-best time of his career.
Brenton Rickard, who finished 2nd, also looked back to 2009 form, with a 1:00.13. It appears as though this Australian duo, who has struggled to regain their rhythm in the past few years, are really figuring things out. Look for a great battle in the 200, which is arguably both swimmers' best race.
There was little in the way of a push for the top two, but 3rd place went to Jeremy Meyer in 1:01.82. There was quite a bit of young talent in this race, but one of them needs to be ready to go (with a long way to go) by the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Women's 100 Fly Finals
Alicia Coutts played the first three rounds of this women's 100 fly masterfully, which is a skill that will pay of big in London, and didn't win a single round until the one that counted – the final round – that she won in 57.59. That vies her the 4th-best time in the world this year. Coutts took the swim out very well in 26.8 (she needed to, as this field of sprinters were almost all 27.2's or better), but held onto it better than her competitors. In the opposite was Jessicah Schipper, who'd led the first two rounds. She prefers the 200, which showed up by her excellent close in this race (30.69 – best in the field) to take runner-up honors in 57.88. Those times by Coutts and Schipper rank them 4th and 5th in the world this year.
As for the rest of the field, Yolane Kukla sprinted to a 26.65 (as she is, in fact, a sprinter), but wound up 6th in 59.19. Libby Trickett was right in the thick of the pack at the turn as well, but much like we saw in Thorpe she couldn't get home, and finished 3rd in 58.64, well back of Schipper. Trickett, also on a comeback, will have her next attempt (and probably best with 6 available spots) in the 100 free, which also kicks off on Sunday.
Brittany Elmslie, a 17-year old who keeps dropping time despite seeming like she should be maxed out, took 4th in 58.92. She could be a big factor in this Australian Team as soon as next year, as that's a second-and-a-half drop in the three rounds of this meet alone. Watch out for her in the 100 free as well – she's already been a 55.0, and if she has similar improvements there, she'll be a huge upset for the Olympic squad.
Alice Tait (formerly Alice Mills) was 5th in 59.00.
Women's 400 Free
Kylie Palmer became the second swimmer of this meet to break an Australian National Record (showing that this is a big bounceback year for the Dolphins) when she broke the 400 free mark with a 4:03.40. That took down the 4:04.16 of Bronte Barratt from the 2008 Olympics.
The swim is almost exactly a second drop from Palmer's previous lifetime best, and ranks her 3rd in the world. The challenge is that her previous lifetime best was done at last year's World's Trials; she'll now have to turn around and take things even a touch further in London. This was a race paced very similarly to what you'd see from Britain's Rebecca Adlington, last year's silver medalist and the defending Olympic Champion. She took the swim out in 2:01, and came back in 2:02. The trick is that Adlington could be down to at least a 2:00 at the Olympics, and Federica Pellegrini could come home in a 1:59.
Barratt cruised comfortably to a 2nd-place finish in 4:05.74, and despite not finishing her race all that strongly, she had enough of a gap to place three seconds ahead of the alternate Remy Fairweather. There's no shame for Fairweather in her 4:08.63, however, as that crushes her own National Age Record. She set the previous mark at 4:10.55 in December.
Blair Evans, having already locked up a spot for London in the 400 IM, was 4th here in 4:08.92. Katie Goldman was 5th in 4:10.24.
Women's 100 Back Semi's
Belinda Hocking broke a minute in the prelims of this 100 back, but that didn't mean she was maxed out. She took that down to a 59.39 in the semi-finals to hold onto the top seed. That moved her to 14th-place on the all-time list, and made her the 2nd-fastest Australian. Emily Seebohm took 2nd in 1:00.06, but remember that she still leads the world this year, so even that swift time can't feel comfortable for Hocking.
Sophie Edington will take the third seed in 1:00.64.
Men's 100 Back Semi's
After shuffling anonymously through the prelims, National Record holder Hayden Stoeckel went from a 56 to a 53.73 to re-establish himself as the favorite in this race headed into Friday's Finals. Ashley Delaney also stepped up in the semi to take the 2nd seed in 54.07, and then Ben Treffers, the top seed in prelims, took 3rd in 54.36. That should be a great battle for the top two spots.
Men's 400 Free Relay
These relays are something that aren't really a huge deal for Olympic hopefuls at these Trials, but in this case we did see quite a few interesting swims, and surprising swims, as warmups for the sprinters who don't get going until Sunday. That included 49's, on rolling starts, from the likes of Matthew Abood, Cameron Prosser, Jayden Hadler and Eamon Sullivan. Andrew Abood, the only big-name who had to go on a leadoff leg, split only a 51.1. That's not a huge confidence boost, but none of the above were likely swimming using too much energy.

Well, you were right: Thorpe's prelims swim was a fragile one! I feel sad..
Let's see how he fares on the 100m.
As for Libby, she also swam smart: too bad she came in 3rd – the worst placing ever in an Olympic Trials!!
But I think she will make the relays, at least!

Rickard's problem hasn't really been consistency in the 100 (as it has in the 200).
He's been under 1:00.2 at least 5 times since 2010, he just can't quite get through the barrier. I might be the only one keeping score, but Sprenger is the 9th man under 1:00.00 in textile.


A woman has been reunited with her missing wallet after 18 years and it still contained her picture of Eric Cantona.
The 39-year-old former hotel worker, named Joanne Beaven, had her wallet returned to her mother's house, after it had been missing for 18 years, and it still contained her driving licence, credit cards and a picture of former Manchester United player, Eric Cantona, 52.
Speaking to Metro, Joanne said: "I've always had a big thing for Eric Cantona, though I don't carry his photo around with me anymore. The whole thing is really bizarre, you don't think that a stolen item will ever turn up, never mind 18 years later. The purse is pretty gross and it doesn't smell very pleasant."
The wallet was stolen from Joanne when she was working in a hotel in St Ives, Cambridgeshire and a week after she reported it missing to the police, Joanne found her handbag in a ditch but there was no sign of her wallet.
Police told her that the purse was put through their station's letterbox and was traced back to her using her licence.
She added: "Whilst the purse is pretty smelly, it has survived amazingly well considering it's apparently been in a ditch for 18 years."

Metropolitan police officer faces six further charges of rape
PC David Carrick to appear at Westminster magistrates court as new charges bring total to 29 alleged offences against eight women
A Metropolitan police officer accused of a string of sex offences against four women is facing nine additional charges relating to four other alleged victims, the Crown Prosecution Service has said.
PC David Carrick, 47, now faces charges relating to 29 alleged offences, including 13 counts of rape, against eight women between 2009 and 2020.
Carrick last month entered not guilty pleas at St Albans crown court via video link to charges relating to the first four women. At the hearing it was alleged he had raped one woman he met on the dating app Tinder, falsely imprisoned another in a cupboard under the stairs, and sexually assaulted three of the complainants by urinating on them.
He is due to appear at the same court on 28 January for a mention hearing relating to those charges, with a provisional trial date in April.
The CPS said on Monday it had authorised Hertfordshire police to charge him with the new alleged offences in relation to four additional women. They are six counts of rape, one count of attempted rape, one count of assault by penetration and one count of coercive or controlling behaviour. He will appear at Westminster magistrates court on Wednesday in relation to the new charges.
Carrick was first charged with a single count of rape in October.
Peter Burt, a senior district crown prosecutor for CPS Thames and Chiltern, said: "Following an ongoing investigation by Hertfordshire constabulary, with continued support from the CPS, we have now charged David Carrick with a total of 29 alleged offences against eight women.
"We remind all concerned that criminal proceedings against the defendant are active and that he has a right to a fair trial. It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings."

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Authorities say two food carts were destroyed and 10 cars were damaged by a fire and explosion in downtown Portland.
The Oregonian/OregonLive reports flames and thick smoke billowed from a parking lot near Southwest First Avenue and Columbia Street shortly after 3 p.m.
Authorities say an explosion followed about 15 minutes later.
Portland Fire & Rescue spokeswoman Capt. Louisa Jones says the fire started at one cart and spread to the other. She says wind blew the flames spreading the fire to 10 nearby cars.
Jones says the fire ignited after a food cart employee filled a generator with gasoline and the gasoline spilled.
Authorities say two people had minor injuries and were treated at the scene.

ERLC's Moore urges persuasion to promote civility
September 27 2017 by Tom Strode, Baptist Press
Americans, including conservative Christians, should seek to persuade others – not pigeonhole them by classifications – to promote civility in a religiously diverse culture, Southern Baptist leader Russell Moore said in a Washington, D.C., panel discussion.
Screen capture from YouTube
ERLC President Russell Moore, second from right, participates in a panel discussion on religious freedom and public civility Sept. 13 at The Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C.
Moore, president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, spoke during a Sept. 13 event hosted by The Brookings Institution on the role of religious freedom in building public civility.
The American Charter Project (ACP) sponsored the program in an effort to offer guidance on how to overcome polarization in the United States along ideological and religious divides. ACP will release the "American Charter of Freedom of Religion and Conscience" later this year as part of its effort.
In his remarks, Moore pointed to the need for Americans to follow the example of the late pastor and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.
King "was not speaking only to those who were already with him," Moore said. "He was speaking to my grandfather in Mississippi that he never saw as being anything less than a potential convert to his cause and to his way of seeing things.
"[O]ne of the great problems that we have in American life across the board is that we don't ultimately believe that we're going to be able to persuade one another of anything," Moore said. "And so we assume all we can do is push one another into their categories and to speak about them rather than to them."
The panel addressed the reasons for the growing divide over religious liberty since the mid-1990s, with Moore citing the "loss of transcendence in American public life."
"When there is not a sense of transcendent purpose and meaning, people are going to try to find substitutes for that," he told the audience. "And what we have largely seen happening in American life is people finding tribal identities in political movements or cultural arguments in a way that often really isn't about coming to a solution to those arguments but about identifying: 'I am the sort of person who stands here as opposed to the sort of people who stand there.'"
This happens on both the left and right, Moore said.
He observed that progressives often assume "religion is going to go away, and so if there is just enough cultural or political pressure put upon religious believers of whatever stripe, we're just going to nudge you along to where you're going to be anyway," Moore said.
Some people in his own tribe of conservative Christianity "have also acculturated to this sense of statecraft as ultimate," he said, adding they assume the gospel "doesn't matter as much as achieving some legislative wins. I think that's been a loss in American life across the board."
Religious freedom advocate Katrina Lantos Swett said progress for some in American life should not result in loss for others.
As America makes what many consider progress in areas "that have hitherto been untouchable that relate to bringing people who were previously marginalized, really left out and not included," she said in an apparent reference to the expansion of rights to such groups as lesbians and gays, "we [must] find a way to embrace the good of that without disqualifying and putting on the margins and excluding as unacceptable the very deep and sincerely held religious convictions of a huge percentage of our country."
Swett – president of the Lantos Foundation for Human Rights and Justice and a former chair of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom – acknowledged she was "dismayed" "and "alarmed" when senators confronted a judicial nominee the week before with questions "that sounded uncomfortably close to a religious test for office." Democratic Sens. Dianne Feinstein of California and Richard Durbin of Illinois seemed to question Amy Coney Barrett's suitability to serve as an appeals court judge because of her Roman Catholic beliefs.
"It felt so wrong; it felt so troubling," Swett said.
Joshua DuBois – chief executive officer of Values Partnerships and former executive director of the Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships under President Barack Obama – said the lack of relationship between groups has made it difficult to navigate divisive issues. He cited the absence of a basis for relationship between the conservative Christian community and the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
"[I]t's hard to play catch-up when communities believe that the other side has denied their dignity for so long, and so why would they come to the table now?" DuBois said. "[A]t the time when relationship is needed perhaps more than ever, it doesn't exist and the stakes are so high it's hard to come together."
CNN political analyst David Gregory told those attending, "Let's allow ourselves to be vulnerable. Let's remember to start out with love. Let's remember humility. Let's remember that everyone has something to give and to contribute in this, and then we can have a dialogue from there."
In the keynote address before the panel discussion, John Dilulio – professor of politics, religion and civil society at the University of Pennsylvania and the first head of the White House Office of Faith-based and Community Initiatives under President George W. Bush – said religion can be a "civic tonic" or a "civic toxin."
Dilulio offered some suggestions, including:
– "Let's try to be as fact-based about faith-based matters as we reasonably and feasibly can be, and let's also try to be open ourselves to hearing each other and hearing each other out on each or all sides of given religious freedom and church-state issues.
– "Let's celebrate how in a demographically dynamic and diverse representative democracy like ours the civic intersections of religion and politics ... are bound to be, and ought to be, busy and boisterous, not calm and quiet. But let's also at the same time insist emphatically, unambiguously, non-negotiabl[y] that one and all always stop far short of the civic equivalent of road rage. There are lines that cannot be crossed and should not be crossed."
William Galston, a senior fellow at Brookings, moderated the event.

Manchester United and West Ham target Alexandre Pato hints at possible Premier League move
2nd November 2015, 2:55 pm
Manchester United and West Ham have been put on alert after Alexandre Pato hinted he is interested in a move to England.
The former AC Milan striker plies his trade with Brazilian club Corinthians but is currently on loan at Sao Paulo.
However, Pato does not expect to make his move to Sao Paulo permanent, while Corinthians have expressed no interest in keeping the 26-year-old.
"Next year I won't be playing at Sao Paulo, everybody knows that", Pato told Radio Globo by Soccer News.
"I hope England or Spain.
"I do not know if I can stay with Corinthians. I just try to do as well as possible. In football nothing is certain, so it's no problem to return to Corinthians.
"I am a professional."

How to Spend 1 Day in Montpellier
Things to do in Languedoc-Roussillon
With three days in Montpellier, you'll have plenty of time to explore the city and the surrounding area, from the wine-producing Languedoc region to the historic city of Arles, full of ancient Roman architecture. Check out this itinerary for how to best plan your time.
Day 1: A Day in Montpellier
Devote your first day in Montpellier to exploring the cuisine, culture, and history of the city and its surrounding areas. Start with a visit to the Ecusson district, highlights of which include the Fabre Museum, which features a large collection of Fauvist art from the 15th-19th centuries,
Nearby, the Museum of Old Montpellier traces local history, while the Esplanade de Charles de Gaulle is a green space with lots of room to wander. To see other spots such as Montpellier Cathedral and Place de la Comédie, consider booking a historical walking or Segway tour. While in town, don't miss the chance to sample local cuisine; a foodie tour allows you to sample some of the best oysters and cassoulet in the city.
Day 2: Languedoc Food and Wine
On your second day, explore the region surrounding Montpellier. If you're looking for a half-day option, try a short tour with round-trip transportation to the nearby port city of Sète, a half-hour drive away, where you'll find Mediterranean panoramas, seafood restaurants, and a handful of museums.
If you're a fan of wine, book a tour to explore the Languedoc area, which produces some of France's most celebrated fine wines. There are plenty of wineries to visit in Languedoc, the most popular of which are situated in the Pic Saint-Loup area. You'll also find some great hiking opportunities along with a smattering of local attractions, from olive oil producers to historic old villages. Round off your second day with a guided trip to Marseillan, the birthplace of vermouth, where you can visit a vermouth distillery and even learn to make the beverage yourself.
Day 3: Day Trip to Arles and Around
Consider a visit to Arles to explore a city full of ancient Roman architecture; its also where Vincent Van Gogh spent a fair amount of time. Start with a visit to the Roman Amphitheater, the city's most famous attraction, which dates back to 90 AD. Interestingly, entire neighborhoods were built at the amphitheater, where people lived until 1826, when it was restored into a national historic monument. Other top spots include the nearby Roman Theater, still occasionally used for concerts, and the Thermes de Constantin, excavated roman bath houses.
While you could easily spend a whole day exploring the historic sites of Arles, day trips from Montpellier offer additional stops, such as Saint Remy de Provence, where Van Gogh painted The Starry Night, and the charming commune of Les Baux de Provence, a hilltop village set around ancient fortifications.

I'm amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter a blog that's both educative and interesting, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is something which not enough folks are speaking intelligently about. I'm very happy that I stumbled across this during my search for something concerning this.
My brother suggested I would possibly like this blog. He used to be entirely right. This post truly made my day. You can not imagine just how so much time I had spent for this info! Thanks!

City Council, finance committee evaluate bill payment options
Mark Maroney
mmaroney@sungazette.com
City Council's finance committee is going to work with the city finance department to prevent late bills, one of which caused a work stoppage on the critical levee recertification.
One upcoming solution will be to hire a new finance department employee.
A list of unpaid bills that are up to two months past due has been requested from city Controller Margaret Woodring by the committee chaired by Councilwoman Liz Miele.
"I think they want to see an accounting of outstanding bills for 30 to 60 days," Woodring said on Thursday. "It would come through finance. I don't know what they are until they get to me."
The issue of late bills surfaced when a critical component of the levee recertification was not getting done after the engineering firm stopped working because it was not paid.
William E. Nichols Jr., city finance director, said the matter has been resolved.
"No invoices will be held 60 days if they pass a three-part review process," he said. "We don't pay any bills without doing our due diligence and doing our fidiciary responsibility."
"A bill pack would have prevented the engineer on the levee from stopping the job," said Jason Fitzgerald, president of Penn Strategies, the city economic development consulting firm paid $200,000 in a two-year contract.
A bill pack is a monthly package of bills approved in one aggregate vote before council.
It may be a matter of the finance department needing a few more bodies working on budgets and ensuring timely payments.
Altoona's finance department has a budget of $360,000, according to Nichols.
The city's is $146,000 with three employees, he said. "Our employees must determine the budgeted amount, approve the process and ensure it's within the city budget," he said.
The department is preparing to hire another employee by next month, according to Miele.
She said she believes that would help Nichols and staff. She also said the concept of a monthly bill package can be explored, or if it is too overwhelming on the staff, the committee can work with the department on another plan.
"Council is not calling into question anyone in finance as to their professionalism or standards," Councilman Randall J. Allison said.
"We know by working with them over the years on budgets, specifically, they have worked hard and for the city in a lot of unseen ways," Allison said. "It is a matter of being brought up to speed on some issues."
Nichols has provided council with a tracking matrix showing grants that are received, applied for and funding sources for the $25 million East Third Street/Old City Revitalization project.
Council lauded the department for superior work on that end.
City fire officials recently also said the department has been finding it challenging to get the ear of the administration regarding bills to be paid.
Mayor Gabriel J. Campana offered no comment but has said the upcoming proposed budget might require layoffs and outsourcing.

All Blacks vs England, Third Test Recap and Analysis
June 23, 2014 Jamie Wall Jamie Wall 16
AUCKLAND, NZ – Every team is after the complete 80 minute performance, but the All Blacks decided that was too much work for a June test and put in a complete 40 minute effort against a stunned English side in the first half of their match in Hamilton, with the game effectively over at the halftime whistle. A couple of All Blacks under a bit of scrutiny mid-week really stood up, one show-pony English winger went completely MIA and we all experienced familiar frustrations over the referee's interpretation of the scrum law. But, at the end of the day, a 23 point win over the best English side available will satisfy even the most cynical New Zealander (believe me, there are a lot) even though there's a lot to work on if the All Blacks are to have a season like last year.
All Blacks vs England: Ruthless haka.
All Blacks 36 (Julian Savea 3, Aaron Smith 2 tries; Aaron Cruden 3 con, pen, Beauden Barrett con) England 13 (Marland Yarde try, Freddie Burns con, 2 pen)
Waikato Stadium was packed to the rafters for this match, with just under 26,000 in attendance. The rain was coming down as the All Blacks ripped into a slower and more intense version of Kapa O Pango, led by hometown boy Liam Messam. This methodical rendition was a real sign of things to come as the All Blacks completely dominated the first half, maintaining possession at will and working an effective set piece. The first try came off a line out drive and back line move that went slightly wrong, however Aaron Smith gathered up the mistake and fed Ben Smith, who linked up with an unmarked Julian Savea to cross after three minutes. Freddie Burns hit back with a penalty soon after but after eight minutes under-fire first five Aaron Cruden showed why the selectors had faith in him during the week by scooting through a big gap in the English midfield to feed Savea again. The big winger didn't have the easiest finish, having to pick up a pass off his feet and cut back in, but made it look very easy. By now people around NZ were starting to get that feeling were you can relax back into your couches or head to the bar for another round knowing that this one was in the bag. Savea was denied a natural hat trick later in the half when a Ben Smith pass was correctly judged to have gone forward, but by now the question of whether his marker Chris Ashton had even made it to the ground was being asked, as Savea had been operating essentially at will for the entire game so far.
The Savea Show: Part One
Another All Black under the spotlight during the week, winger Cory Jane, then showed that form may be temporary but class is permanent by busting down the left and feeding inside to Aaron Smith, who dived over in the corner. Not long after Smith got a double to go along with Savea's as Ben Smith broke the line and fed back inside to his halfback. By now it was 29-6 to the home side and any thoughts of this game being a meaningful contest had gone out the door. This was the All Black side that'd been missing for the entire 80 minutes in Auckland and around about 60 in Dunedin.
To England's credit, however, they recovered from the shellshock the All Blacks inflicted on them and returned from halftime with a far more positive attitude. They were helped by a number of early changes the All Blacks made, including Keven Mealamu and Charlie Faumuina coming into the front row. This meant the previously stable All Black scrum started getting pinged repeatedly by referee Jerome Garces, which let the English piggyback downfield and gain the territory they had never seen in the first half. Particularly impressive was wing Marland Yarde, who threw himself into the line at every opportunity and was well rewarded with a try, his second of the series.
The Savea Show: Part Two
England probably had the better of the second half, but the damage had very much been done. The All Blacks had some good patches but were frustrated by final pass options and penalties. Finally, on the last play of the game, Jane shoved his way past some very tired defenders to set up Savea for his third try of the night.
The All Blacks in the first half were a revelation, playing rugby that'd match the best of their efforts last season.The scrum was immovable, the line out pinpoint and even when the back line moves broke down they still could turn them into tries. Julian Savea benefitted from all of this down the left hand side, playing the role of the traditional finisher, while on the right Cory Jane was a distributor, setting up two tries. Dane Coles had probably his best test yet in the starting hooker jersey and his absence was notable in the second half as the set piece went awry. Malakai Fekitoa looked at home in his first start at centre and his initial bust set up Aaron Smith's first try. One the brightest spots was the welcome return of Kieran Read, who hasn't played in six weeks and looked like he hasn't missed a step at all with a polished 40 minute effort. The only negative was probably the performance of the bench, who added little and disrupted the cohesion that'd made the first half so memorable.
The Savea Show: Part Three
For England it was a very disappointing end to an otherwise promising tour. Their best lineup from the previous two tests (yes, I'm counting Freddie Burns because he played far better than Owen Farrell) didn't fire a shot until it was way too late and completely wasted an opportunity to make a statement against the best side in the world. In a tale of two wingers, Marland Yarde underlined the fact that he's been the form player on this tour with a mountain of work. On the other side, Chris Ashton may as well have been in the crowd drinking beer for all the good he did. Savea was UNTOUCHED for his hat trick, so the Tony Underwood Award for worst defensive effort by an Englishman on an All Black is safely Ashton's for the time being. In the pack Chris Robshaw battled hard and showed that he is definitely the right leader for this side going forward. Other than that England were comprehensively blown off the park by the All Blacks and won't be able to salvage anything useful from this test.
Man of the Match: A lot to choose from in the All Blacks, however given the criticism they endured during the week and how they responded it's a joint award to Cory Jane and Aaron Cruden. Both men were being told they were finished and came up with match-turning efforts that set up the tries that got the result the All Blacks were after.
Moment of the Match: You know things are going right when your back line move fails miserably and you still score a cracking try. Julian Savea's first strike was a fore bearer of things to come.
Idiot of the Match: I've already given Chris Ashton enough stick for a horrible performance so far, so…nah, I'm still going to give him this award. Especially after possibly the most awful clearing kick seen in a test match.
So, what have we learned from this series? Probably that the All Blacks need a couple of games to warm up, will need to play for a full 80 minutes against the Wallabies if they want the all time consecutive test victory record and will rely heavily on Julian Savea for the next couple of seasons at least. England will look back on this as a missed opportunity all around, they had a test slip through their fingers in Auckland, had a firm grasp on another that got violently taken from them in Dunedin and never even looked close in Hamilton. Most of the players that performed well are known to the coaching staff, so no one new has really staked a claim. We'll have a better idea of where they are at in regards to the RWC after the next edition of the Six Nations.
Meanwhile, over in South Africa the Springboks had an absolutely classic match against Wales and the Wallabies made short work of France in Sydney. The All Blacks would do well to have a look at the footage of both of those tests and start formulating a plan of how they will emerge victorious in their true tests of 2014.
