  导出博客文章Sam Davies got Wales out of jail with a last-gasp drop goal as Japan were thwarted 33-30 at the Principality Stadium. Vapormax Cheap Online .The Ospreys fly-half, who went on as a second-half substitute, struck during the closing seconds to give Wales victory.Dan Lydiate, Jamie Roberts and Sam Warburton scored tries, while wing Leigh Halfpenny kicked 15 points as Wales triumphed, yet it was a performance that lacked consistency and finesse - and almost produced a colossal upset.Japan looked a far more threatening outfit with ball in hand as wings Akihito Yamada and Kenki Fukuoka. plus substitute Amanaki Lotoahea, claimed touchdowns, with fly-half Yu Tamura adding three penalties and two conversions and centre Timothy Lafaele converting Yamadas try.Wales boss Rob Howley made 10 changes following last weekends hard-fought win against Argentina, throwing down a selection gauntlet ahead of next weeks autumn finale against struggling South Africa.But few players stood up and were counted as Wales did just enough to make it nine wins from 10 against Japan.Wales were eager to continue momentum established by a 24-20 victory over Argentina seven days ago, but they had to play second fiddle from kick-off.Tamura kicked two penalties as Japan led 6-0, with his second successful shot at goal coming after Wales full-back Liam Williams was rightly sin-binned for obstruction on Yamada.It amounted to a poor start by Wales, but they responded in the 11th minute after possession was rapidly moved wide and Lydiate touched down for his first try in Wales colours, with Halfpenny adding the conversion.Japans initial promise quickly evaporated as Wales looked to turn the screw up front, and there was little the visitors could do to halt a vibrant home attack.Inevitably, they ran out of defensive numbers, and centre Jonathan Davies half-break proved sufficient as his midfield partner Roberts - back on Wales duty after being dropped for the Argentina game - effortlessly finished off.Halfpennys conversion made it 14-6, but Japan hit back strongly before the break, even if Wales gifted them a try.Fly-half Gareth Anscombe shipped possession on in midfield, but it failed to find a colleague and Yamada gathered a bouncing ball to claim his 14th try in 17 Tests, with centre Lafaeles conversion making it 14-13 at the break.Halfpenny extended Wales lead through an early second-half penalty, yet the game continued to lack any real spark, while there was no obvious indication that Howley planned any immediate replacements.Wales though, moved further ahead after 52 minutes when lock Alun Wyn Jones sprinted into space from a lineout and found Warburton on his right shoulder, with the Wales skipper finishing in style before Halfpennys conversion made it 24-13.But Japan hit back immediately through a brilliant touchdown that owed everything to slick passing and rapid handling, with Fukuoka applying a stunning finish in limited space.Tamura kicked the conversion, and Wales could not relax, having seen their advantage trimmed back to four points.Another Halfpenny penalty took Wales seven points clear, yet Japan immediately reclaimed field position and they gained a penalty that Tamura landed.The game was now nip and tuck, as another Halfpenny penalty made it 30-23, but Japan were not to be denied as Lotoahea touched down six minutes from time and Tamura brilliantly converted to make it all square.Wales pushed as the clock ticked down, and wing Alex Cuthbert knocked on with the line at his mercy, before Davies, who was winning only his second cap, came up trumps amid a frantic finale.

By having more great seasons. Manning was the only unanimous choice for the 2013 Associated Press NFL All-Pro team Friday. http://www.cheapvapormaxwholesale.com/ .ca NFL Power Rankings, overtaking the Denver Broncos and remaining ahead of NFC competition San Francisco, Carolina and New Orleans. SPRINGFIELD, N.J. -- The third and fourth rounds were going on at the same time and with different rules. There was so much rain that there was a worker with a squeegee positioned near every green. The final putts were made in what some would call the dark. There was no re-pairing after the third round and the greens werent even rolled, let along cut. Oh yeah, on Friday they put the cup on No. 10 in the wrong place.This was the PGA Championship. This was a major. This was an odd major.Nobody will take anything away from Jimmy Walker, who closed a bogey-free 3-under 67 with a 3-footer for par to finish at 14-under 266 and beat Jason Day by one stroke Sunday. All Day did to add to the drama was make an eagle 3 on No. 18 to get within a stroke.I figured birdieing 17 was huge and that was going to cap it off, Walker said. And then Jason making eagle sure made my job a lot harder on the last hole.Really cool way to finish. Making a putt like that to win, right in the middle, was just awesome.But the circumstances around some great golf were odd to say the least.The leaders after the third round would always be paired together for the final round but not in this rain-delayed tournament. Day said he would have liked to be playing with Walker.That would have been nice, Day said. But under the circumstances, thats just how they work.Ten players didnt even hit a golf ball Saturday -- that meant Walker and Day and eight others played 36 holes Sunday -- and 37 others returned Sunday to complete the third round.Its really quite fun to see how far you can actually push yourself mentally, more so than physically, Day said. Playing 36 holes today, especially under the pump, not knowing what was going on, really, and finishing that way, was pretty special.The extra holes so the tournament would finish on time meant Matt Jones and Roberto Castro were teeing off on No. 1 in the fourth round while Walker and Robert Streb were getting to No. 6 in their third round.To add a little more confusion, the PGA of America decided that the fourth round would be played with lift, clean andd place rules in effect for balls in the fairway. Cheap Vapormax China. Thats the first time in a major tournament the preferred lie rules was put in effect. Guess thats one more oddity for the 98th PGA Championship.My playing partner (Martin Kaymer) on the last hole there had a big chunk of mud on the ball and it went straight right and led to a bogey, British Open champion Henrik Stenson said between rounds. He closed with a 71 and finished tied for seventh with Kaymer and Streb at 8 under.Phil Mickelson, who won the PGA the last time it was played at Baltusrol in 2005 and finished at 3 under this week, was asked if the PGA of Americas decision to go with the preferred lies would inspire other majors to handle the same situation in the future.I hope so. I think its such the right call, he said. Theres so much element of luck involved if you dont do that because of the amount of mud that will get on the ball as well as the inability to finish the round because of not being able to take full relief from the fairway.I think it was a great call. I know its not one that is ideal. But unfortunately thats been the case this week because on the weekend this golf course was set up to be perfect for a major championship. And unfortunately the rains came and just softened the course exponentially.Because both rounds were going on simultaneously, the grounds crew workers werent able to attend to the greens as they usually does between rounds and that meant the greens were slower than usual and there were a ton of putts left short of the hole.On Friday, the cup on No. 10 was put on the wrong side of the green but the PGA Rules Committee didnt notice it until the first group off that tee had already hit their second shots so the cup was left on the right side for the remainder of the round. The PGA of America immediately owned up to the mistake and apologized for the mistake.An organization admitting it made an error in a major sporting event. Thats odd. ' ' '
