Early money is with the Highlanders.Greg Growdens verdict:?Highlanders should win no matter what against lackadaisical Brumbies.Saturday July 23Hurricanes v Sharks, Westpac Stadium, WellingtonKey stat (Opta Stats)The Hurricanes have now won their last five fixtures in succession; the last time they won more in a row was when they opened the 2015 with seven straight wins.Line-upsHurricanes:?James Marshall, Cory Jane, Matt Proctor, Willis Halaholo, Jason Woodward, Beauden Barrett, TJ Perenara, Victor Vito, Ardie Savea, Brad Shields, Michael Fatialofa, Vaea Fifita, Ben May, Dane Coles (captain), Loni Uhila, Replacements: Ricky Riccitelli, Chris Eves, Mike Kainga, Mark Abbott, Callum Gibbins, Jamison Gibson Park, Vince Aso, Julian Savea.Sharks:?Willie le Roux, JP Pietersen, Paul Jordaan, Andre Esterhuizen, Lwazi Mvovo, Garth April, Michael Claassens, Philip van der Walt, Jean-Luc du Preez, Keegan Daniel, Stephan Lewies, Etienne Oosthuizen, Coenie Oosthuizen, Franco Marais, Tendai Mtawarira (captain) Replacements: Chiliboy Ralepelle, Dale Chadwick, Thomas du Toit, Hyron Andrews, Tera Mtembu, Stefan Ungerer, Curwin Bosch, Odwa Ndungane.Team NewsHurricanes head coach Chris Boyd has made three inclusions to his starting XV to face the Sharks, with Matt Proctor recovered from a hamstring strain to take his place at centre and props Loni Uhila and Ben May named in the front-row. Proctors return sees Jason Woodward shift to the left wing in place of Julian Savea, who moves to the reserves. Uhila starts at loosehead prop in place of Reggie Goodes, who was unavailable for selection after leaving the field with concussion during the final round of the regular season against the Crusaders in Christchurch.The Sharks are boosted by the return from injury of Willie le Roux, Paul Jordaan and Jean-Luc du Preez.UBET verdict:?Hurricanes $1.14, Sharks $5.75. The last five between these two have gone to the home side, with four of those being by 13+. Sharks did win 32-15 at home earlier in year, but the Canes are near unbeatable at home, and are the shortest priced favourite of the round.Greg Growdens verdict:?Hurricanes should walk over the Sharks in comfortable fashion.Lions v Crusaders, Ellis Park, JohannesburgKey stat (Opta Stats)The Crusaders have won their last seven games against the Lions, scoring 28 points or more on all but one occasion.Line-upsLions:?Andries Coetzee, Ruan Combrinck, Lionel Mapoe, Rohan Janse Van Rensburg, Courtnal Skosan, Elton Jantjies, Faf de Klerk, Warren Whiteley (captain), Warwick Tecklenburg, Jaco Kriel, Franco Mostert, Andries Ferreira, Julian Redelinghuys, Malcolm Marx, Dylon Smith Replacements: Armand van der Merwe, Corne Fourie, Jacques Van Rooyen, Ruan Ackermann, Cyle Brink, Ross Cronje, Howard Mnisi, Jaco van der Walt / Sylvian MahuzaCrusaders:?Israel Dagg, Johnny McNicholl, Ryan Crotty, David Havili, Jone Macilai, Richie Mounga, Andy Ellis, Kieran Read (captain), Matt Todd, Jordan Taufua, Sam Whitelock, Luke Romano, Owen Franks, Codie Taylor, Wyatt Crockett Replacements: Ben Funnell, Alex Hodgman, Mike Alaalatoa, Scott Barrett, Jimmy Tupou, Mitchell Drummond, Ben Volavola, Kieron Fonotia.Team NewsLions captain Warren Whiteley has been cleared to play after struggling with a shoulder injury.The Crusaders have made five changes to the 23 that played the Hurricanes last weekend. Halfback Andy Ellis and lock Sam Whitelock were late withdrawals from the team last week, but both have been declared fit to play against the Lions (Ellis recovering from a calf strain and Whitelock from a virus). Jordan Taufua comes back into the starting line-up at 6, and Jimmy Tupou shifts to the bench. The only changes to the backs are Jone Macilai taking the wing in the place of the injured Nemani Nadolo, and Ben Volavola taking a spot in the reserves in place of Mitchell Hunt.UBET verdict: Lions $1.85, Crusaders $1.95.?Not much separating these two in the betting. The Lions rested all of their players last week, and have lost 12 of the last 13 vs. the Crusaders, but are a different side in 2016. The worry for the Lions is that they have played three Kiwi sides at home this year, and only beat the Blues, and prior to that lost to the Hurricanes and Crusaders (Round 6 lost by six). Early money is with the Crusaders.Greg Growdens verdict:?Lions to prevail.Stormers v Chiefs, Newlands, Cape TownKey stat (Opta Stats)No player has beaten more defenders than Damian McKenzie and the Chiefs full-back is just seven carries shy of becoming the second player to make 200 carries this season.Line-upsStormers:?Jaco Taute, Kobus van Wyk, Huw Jones, Damian de Allende, Leolin Zas, Robert du Preez, Nic Groom, Schalk Burger (co-captain), Siya Kolisi, Sikhumbuzo Notshe, Pieter-Steph du Toit, Eben Ezebeth, Vincent Koch, Bongi Mbonambi, Alistair Vermaak.

Nic Groom?returns inside him, after being rested against the Kings. Up front, Bongi Mbonambi starts at hooker, with Scarra Ntubeni moving to the replacements bench where he will be joined by props Oli Kebble and co-captain Frans Malherbe who are both returning from injury. Locks Eben Etzebeth and Pieter-Steph du Toit both return after sitting out last week, while Siya Kolisi returns to as the only chanage to the back-row.Stephen Donald replaces injured Seta Tamanivalu alongside Anton Lienert-Brown in the Chiefs midfield, with Sam McNicol preferred ahead of Toni Pulu on the right wing and Brad Weber back as the starting scrum-half.

With Liam Messam unavailable, Tom Sanders shifts over to No. 8 and is joined in the back-row by Taleni Seu and co-captain Sam Cane.UBET verdict: Stormers $2.25, Chiefs $1.65.?Another tricky match here. The Stormers have not played a NZ side all season which is pretty bizarre; but come into this game having won their last four at home. That was against the Kings, Force, Rebels and Cheetahs however; so poor opposition. The Chiefs can travel and win, and that is where the money has gone.Greg Growdens verdict:?Despite the long travel, Chiefs to get by Stormers in a nail biter.? Gerald Everett Womens Jersey .

AKRON, Ohio -- Dustin Johnson is making golf sound as easy as he makes it look.There was nothing fancy about the way he went about his work Sunday in the Bridgestone Invitational, where he rallied from a three-shot deficit against the worlds No. 1 player to win in his first start since capturing his first major at the U.S. Open.He drives it great. His wedge game has been his biggest improvement. He finally is making some putts.Is it really that simple?I mean, yeah, Johnson replied.Late last year, he decided to abandon his natural draw off the tee and switch to a fade because he thought he would hit more fairways.I got tired of hitting hooks, he said.When asked if it was his choice or a recommendation from his coaches, Johnson said he wanted to make the change and his coaches didnt really care which shape he hit the driver as long as I hit it straight.So was the change in his swing or the way he sets up to the ball?Youll have to ask my coach, he said.Its been a winning combination, especially in his last two tournaments. Two weeks ago at Oakmont, he overcame a four-shot deficit to win the U.S. Open, even though he wasnt sure of his score over the final two hours because the USGA couldnt make up its mind whether to assess a penalty for a ball moving.On Sunday, it took him 16 holes to wipe out a three-shot deficit against Jason Day, and then Johnson took over from there.He blasted a 9-iron out of the deep rough to 15 feet and made birdie to take the lead for the first time all week, right about the time Day was making an utter mess of the par-5 16th hole.Day tried to play it safe off the tee on the 655-yard hole, knowing he couldnt get home in two, and instead hooked his tee shot behind two thick fir trees. He blasted through branches and across the fairway, and then tried to get it just left of the green with a punch shot that wasnt hit hard enough, or far enough left. It rolled into the side of the water, leading to double bogey.Sometimes you take risks and it doesnt pay off, said Day, who didnt hit a green on his last six holes and closed with a 72.Johnson made six birdies in his round of 4-under 66 and wound up winniing by one shot over Scott Piercy, who made birdie on the final hole for a 70.dddddddddddd It was the second straight time Piercy was runner-up to Johnson, and there was some consolation that they were at the U.S. Open and a World Golf Championship.We all know how good DJ is, and hes shown it the last weeks, Piercy said. To be nipping at his heels makes me feel good. ... We want to win being out there, and knowing that I came as close as I did, not having my best stuff is a positive, as well.Day tied for third with Jordan Spieth, Matt Kuchar and Kevin Chappell.Only nine players finished under par, the fewest number at Firestone since Tiger Woods was the only player under par in 2007. Johnson finished at 6-under 274, the highest winning score since Woods in 2005.And there was one other connection to Woods -- they now are the only two players to win three of the four World Golf Championships. Johnson won the Cadillac Championship at Doral last year and the HSBC Champions in Shanghai in 2013.Johnson narrowly moved past Spieth to a career-best No. 2 in the world. He moved to the top of the FedEx Cup, and is No. 1 on the money list with over $6.5 million.And he cant wait to get to the British Open at Royal Troon in two weeks.Its the first time Ive won two tournaments in a row, Johnson said. I mean, thats big. Im excited and looking forward to going over to the British with the golf game in good form.To explain how he could go from winless over 15 months to looking as though he cant be beat is to return to Johnsons world of simplicity.Its all about putting.There is some truth to that. He has only three finishes outside the top 20 in the last year on the PGA Tour.I feel like my game is where it has been all year, he said. I feel like Ive been playing really solid all year. Ive been driving it great. Ive been wedging it good. Its just I havent been putting quite as well as Id like to. And the last couple weeks, Ive just putted a little bit better. And the game shows it.Maybe its really that simple. Cheap Jerseys China NFL Jerseys [url= a little bit better. And the game shows it.Mayurl] ' ' '
