Ospreys maintained their unbeaten home record this season with a 35-17 Guinness PRO12 victory over Welsh rivals Newport Gwent Dragons.The home side, who have now beaten the Dragons 10 times in a row, registered five tries in the victory with 19-year-old wing Keelan Giles crossing twice to take his tally to eight tries in four games.Flanker Dan Lydiate, a former Dragon, and hooker Scott Baldwin started for Ospreys after being released by Wales. However Dan Biggar, Rhys Webb, Sam Davies and seven forwards were absent because of International commitments. Tavis Knoyle looks for a way through on his first start for Newport Gwent Dragons Without fly-halves Biggar and Davies, centre Josh Matavesi stepped up to wear the number 10 jersey and he finished the afternoon having converted all of his sides tries. The Dragons were without three Wales squad players but former Welsh international Tavis Knoyle made his first start for the visitors after being released by Cardiff Blues.Ospreys went into half-time 14-3 up - but they did not have things all their own way in the opening quarter.First Nick Macleod kicked a penalty within the opening five minutes following a high tackle, before prop Dmitri Arhip was handed a yellow card for leading with the arm.The card put the home side on the back foot but Dragons failed to make the most of the one-man advantage.Back to 15 men, Ospreys scored their opening try on 22 minutes when Tom Habberfield squeezed over after darting down the blindside off a five-metre scrum. Scott Baldwin scored one of Ospreys five tries Ospreys continued to pile on the pressure but the second try did not come until the 40th minute when Scott Baldwin crashed over after coming off the back of a drive from a lineout.After the break, Giles immediately made his impact felt with a brace. First, he was on the end of a skillful offload from Matavesi and next, he kicked a loose ball up field and showcased his pace to secure the bonus-point score.Replacement Brendon Leonard ran in for Ospreys fifth try before Dragons struck back as they continued to work hard for the full eighty.The visitors reward for their endeavour came in the form of two tries, one from Matthew Screech and Pat Howard, but it was too little, too late. Kevin Lowe Jersey . Despite the cost, effort and an improved steroid test, its possible that very few -- if any -- positives will be detected, Dr. Richard Budgett told The Associated Press in an interview. "We just dont know what the results from Torino will be," Budgett said. Ryan Smyth Jersey . The 27-year-old Scrivens will be joining his third NHL club since signing with the Toronto Maple Leafs as a free agent in 2010. The move also reunites with him with head coach Dallas Eakins from their time together with the American Hockey Leagues Toronto Marlies. https://www.cheapoilers.com/215s-andrew-ference-jersey-oilers.html . Didier Drogba gave away the penalty that put Senegal one goal away from a major upset, but the veteran striker will get another chance -- probably his last -- at the World Cup after Salomon Kalous injury-time strike sealed the Ivorians place in Brazil next year. Steve Smith Jersey . Defencemen Drew Doughty, Shea Weber and forward Ryan Getzlaf also scored for the Canadians, who started their gold-medal defence 2-0. Goalie Roberto Luongo, getting the call in place of Game 1 starter Carey Price, was solid when needed in making 23 saves for the shutout. Don Jackson Jersey . Ferrer, trying to win his fourth title on Mexican soil, will next play South Africas Kevin Anderson, who eliminated American Sam Querrey,7-6 (2), 6-4. Also Wednesday, Gilles Simon (6) of France beat Donald Young of the United States 6-4, 6-3, Ukraines Alexandr Dolgopolov downed Frenchman Jeremy Chardy 6-3, 6-4 and Croatias Ivo Karlovic defeated Dudi Sela of Israel 7-6 (4), 6-2.Mike Zimmer made the right call, starting Sam Bradford over Shaun Hill. Mike McCarthy made a costly decision, giving up a field goal to go on fourth down.Bradford outplayed Aaron Rodgers in an impressive debut for the Vikings, and Minnesota celebrated the opening of its new $1.1 billion stadium by defeating the Green Bay Packers 17-14.Bradford, acquired from the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 3 for a first-round pick and a conditional fourth-round choice, watched Hill lead the Vikings (2-0) to a season-opening win. He continued his crash course in a new offense, but Zimmer didnt reveal who would start against the Packers until Bradford came out with the first unit in warmups.Minnesota didnt trade two picks for Bradford to sit on the bench. Still, there was some thought Hill deserved another start while Bradford got more time to learn a new system.I was impressed with pretty much everything he did, Zimmer said of Bradford. I thought he had great composure. I thought he had good control of things.The result couldve been different if McCarthy let Mason Crosby kick a tying 31-yard field goal late in the third quarter. Instead, the Packers went for a fourth-and-2 and James Starks was stopped 1 yard short.Bradford tossed his second TD pass on the ensuing drive to give Minnesota a 17-7 lead.I felt the advantage was to the offense in that particular situation. We all saw the play call, and its my decision, McCarthy said. I definitely felt we were playing the way we needed to play.Heres a closer look behind other important calls in Week 2:WHAT IS A CATCH?: Fans, coaches and players are still perplexed by the NFLs catch rule. In the second quarter at Houston, Kansas Citys Demetrius Harris appeared to make a catch and take about three steps before he was stripped and lost the ball. But the play was reviewed and changed to an incomplete pass.Later in the quarter, a no-catch against DeAndre Hopkins cost the Texans a TD and they settled for a field goal. Despite the calls, Houston beat the Chiefs 19-12.I dont know anything about the catch rule, Texans coach Bill OBrien said. Somebody is going to have to really sit down with me and explain to me the catch rule.GUTSY TOSS: On ffourth-and-5 with the game on the line, Marcus Mariota threw a perfect 9-yard TD pass to a well-covered Andre Johnson with 1:13 left to lift the Titans to a 16-15 win over Detroit.dddddddddddd Mariota lofted the pass over one defender and into Johnsons arms just out of the reach of a second defender and right before a third defender could bat it away.We had a matchup with Andre on a linebacker, Mariota said. We felt that we could kind of exploit that a little bit, and he made a great play. I just tried to give him a chance.ITS TRICKY: The Cowboys tried an onside kick after taking a 20-17 lead in the third quarter at Washington. The football traveled less than the required 10 yards, so the Redskins got the ball at Dallas 38 and drove for a tying field goal. Dak Prescott eventually led the Cowboys to the winning score after Kirk Cousins threw an end-zone interception .FLIPPED: A taunting call on Clevelands Terrelle Pryor for flipping the ball at a defender with 27 seconds remaining negated a 20-yard catch to the Ravens 10. Josh McCown was intercepted on the next play and the Browns lost 25-20.Im sure the officials are looking for certain things and sometimes those things will get called, Browns coach Hue Jackson said.CLOCK MISMANAGEMENT: Broncos coach Gary Kubiak decided to kick a field goal on fourth-and-1 from the Colts 17 with 1:54 left to extend Denvers lead to 26-20. But Indianapolis had no timeouts left, so if Denver went for it and converted, the Broncos would have been able run out the clock. If Indys defense held, Andrew Luck still would have had to drive the offense a long way.Von Miller made sure it didnt matter with his sack-strip , but Kubiak second-guessed himself afterward.Ill be honest with you, I really didnt like my decision, Kubiak said. I know thats crazy.
