JOHNATHAN THURSTON V SHAUN JOHNSONTwo of the finest playmakers in the games who are blessed with match-winning abilities. Zach Collins Jersey . Thurston will get his first taste of action on tour having been rested for the win over Scotland. Johnson was the match-winner against England for New Zealand last week in a fine all-round display. Both players can expect special attention from two huge forward packs.CAMERON SMITH V ISSAC LUKESmith will move past Mal Meninga in the list of most Australia Test appearances when he runs out in the green and gold for the 47th time at the Ricoh Arena. Now aged 33, the skipper shows no signs of a decline in performances and is still the best dummy-half in the world. Luke had a below-par first year with the Warriors after leaving South Sydney, but looked back to his best against England last week in a strong display.JASON TAUMALOLO V BOYD CORDNERTaumalolo was magnificent last week against England, playing non-stop for 76 minutes and almost clocking an eye popping 300 metres with the ball in hand. Halting the reigning joint Dally M Medal winner at his rampaging best will be a huge test for Australia. But in Cordner the Kangaroos have a special talent of their own, who is strong in defence, sharp in attack and a ferocious tackler with an eye for the tryline.

Dukurs winning time was 1 minute, 45.76 seconds, a quarter-second better than Russias Alexander Tretiakov. Lativas Tomass Dukurs was third, 1.41 seconds off the pace. Jon Montgomery of Eckville, Alta. www.cheapblazersjerseyschina.com/moe-harkless-jersey/ . -- Chicago Bears cornerback Tim Jennings was selected Monday to his second straight Pro Bowl, while guard Kyle Long made it after a solid rookie season. BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins last season failed to qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs for the second straight season, and it was obvious that defense was their weakness.The Bruins have seven defensemen under NHL contracts who played for them last season, led by captain Zdeno Chara. Only Dennis Seidenberg, who was bought out over the summer, is not back. Without an overhaul of the personnel, the Bruins are hoping a faster pace will help turn things around.The game evolves and were going to evolve with it, said coach Claude Julien, whose team finished fifth in scoring (2.88 goals per game) but ranked 20th in goals allowed (2.78 per game). So I think we have the ability to make our `D corps better this year with our play, and thats where were going to start.General manager Don Sweeney said the play is to be aggressive and spend as much time in the other teams end as possible.Its a mindset of the players to play that way, he said. I think the players would like to play that way and dictate, rather than being on sort of a retreat mentality.Some things to know about the 2016-17 Boston Bruins:MARCHAND MOMENTUMLeft wing Brad Marchand followed up his career-best 37-goal season last season by lighting up the World Cup of Hockey 2016 in September with a tournament-best five goals in six games. He also scored the game-winning short-handed goal in the final minute of Team Canadas clinching victory in the second game of the best-of-three final against Team Europe.Marchand signed an eight-year, $49 million contract, which will keep him from testing unrestricted free agency next summer. Eighteen of his 37 goals last season gave the Bruins a lead.WELCOME BACKESAfter 10 seasons with the St. Louis Blues, including five as their captain, David Backes joined the Bruins as an unrestricted free agent by signing a five-year, $30 million contract July 1. Backes has scored more than 20 goals six times in his career, but the Bruins are also hoping he can take some of the defensive lload off three-time Selke Trophy winner Patrice Bergeron and provide a vocal leader in the dressing room. Authentic Blazers Jerseys. ASK GETS HELPThe Bruins struggled to find a backup for goaltender Tuukka Rask they could trust the past two seasons. The result was Rask playing 134 games the past two seasons, third among all NHL goaltenders in that span. Despite the workload and a tough start last season, Rask produced a respectable 2.56 goals-against average and .915 save percentage.But the return of the Anton Khudobin, who played for the Bruins 2011-13, should provide Rask with enough rest to be at his best more often in 2016-17.I thought he played well for us, did a great job as a second goaltender ... and I think he won us some big games, Julien said.COACHING STAFF SHUFFLESweeney took a little time after the Bruins missed the playoffs last season to decide what to do with his coaching staff. Sweeney and Julien mutually decided Julien should return for a 10th season.However, the Bruins winningest coach (393-223-88) has new assistants: Bruce Cassidy, formerly coach of the Providence Bruins of the AHL, and Jay Pandolfo, who moves down from the front office, becoming assistant coaches replace Doug Houda and Doug Jarvis.PRACTICING IN LUXURYThe start of Bruins training camp marked the opening of the state-of-the-art Warrior Ice Arena, Bostons new practice facility, in the Brighton neighborhood. The Bruins, who now have a seven-mile commute from TD Garden, trained for more than two decades in the suburb of Wilmington. The new facility provides the Bruins with a larger and more modern workout room, workout equipment, trainers room and players lounge -- all which the team hopes will make the Bruins a destination and will better foster team camaraderie.I would envision that theyre probably hanging out a little bit more, Bruins president Cam Neely said.
