Scotland head coach in-waiting, Gregor Townsend has confirmed he turned down the opportunity to be part of the British & Irish Lions coaching ticket on their tour to New Zealand next summer.The Glasgow Warriors head coach takes charge of Scotland in the summer and has opted to focus on the role of leading the national team in their summer tour of Australia rather than being part of Warren Gatlands backroom team.Asked whether he was approached to be part of Gatlands team, he quoted by the BBC as saying said: Yeah, a couple of weeks ago, and I was obviously flattered but my priority now is Glasgow and at the end of the season Scotland are going on tour so thats the priority then.To be approached was great and Im sure Warren will talk about his coaching staff next week so I will leave him to talk about more details.I had a good think and didnt give an immediate answer. I really wanted to reflect on what was involved but I quickly realised that the Scotland tour of Australia is my number one priority at the end of this season.At international level you dont get that much access with the players, this is the most access youll get with them - on a tour, you get to work with them, preparing them and spending time with them so thats the biggest factor on going on on tour.Tyler Larsen Jersey ., for the next three years with the signings on Monday of Daryl Townsend and Michael Carter.

Their efforts came on the heels of Auston Matthews historic debut, when he became the first player in the modern NHL to score four goals in his first game.Its a lot of excitement and obviously theres going to be (a) learning curve and growing pains throughout the way, but theyve been playing great so far, teammate James van Riemsdyk said of the youth movement.Brown and Marner opened the scoring about 10 minutes apart, landing the Leafs in the record books once more. Toronto became the first team since expansion in 1967-68 to have rookies combine for the first six goals to start a season, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.Brown had the games first goal after barely two minutes, joined shortly after by the 19-year-old Marner and then van Riemsdyk a few minutes after that.The fourth overall pick of the 2015 draft, Marner took a pass from Tyler Bozak just outside the Boston blue line, gained the offensive zone with space and fired a shot far-side past goaltender Anton Khudobin.A native of nearby Thornhill, Ontario, Marner followed with an exuberant celebration.To finally be playing in front of these fans for real, its pretty crazy, Marner said. And for the first one to go in in front of them, its kind of sweet.Outside of Matthews, Marner was perhaps Torontos most dangerous player in a season-opening overtime loss to Ottawa on Wednesday. He had six shots in the 5-4 overtime defeat, following that up withh a goal and four more shots in 15-plus minutes against the Bruins on Saturday.ddddddddddddHes shown a knack for getting behind the oppositions defense, finding a seam and some space for his first goal on Saturday.Thats just good anticipation and good smarts where he can pick his spots to use his speed to get himself in those situations, van Riemsdyk said.Marner said hed give the puck from his first goal to his parents.Anton Khudobin allowed four goals on 20 shots for Boston. David Pastrnak scored his third goal in two games this season.Overall, not a good enough effort on our part, said Bruins coach Claude Julien. And at the end of the night, you dont deserve the win.The worst team in the NHL last season, the Leafs have quickly shown themselves to be a much faster and highly skilled entity in the early days of this season, led by Marner, Matthews and 20-year-old William Nylander. Often that youth shows itself in less effective ways though, including a messy second period in which Torontos sloppiness with the puck led to chances and sustained offensive zone time for Boston.Id like us to obviously take better care of the puck and so well learn how to do that, Leafs coach Mike Babcock said afterward.Frederik Andersen gave up only one goal on 25 shots following his wobbly five-goal outing in Wednesdays season opener.Matthews was quiet on Saturday after his unparalleled showing earlier in the week. He was held point-less and finished with only two shots in nearly 17 minutes.Game notesThe Maple Leafs retired 17 sweaters in a pre-game ceremony, altering a long-standing team policy where jersey numbers were honored but not retired.UP NEXTBruins: Conclude their season-opening three-game trip Monday night at Winnipeg.Maple Leafs: Begin a three-game trip Wednesday night at Winnipeg.[url=http://: Conclude their season-opening three-ga
