England ended their decade-long wait for victory over South Africa with a resounding 37-21 victory at Twickenham that extends their triumphant run to 11 Tests. Reggie Ragland Jersey .After 11 defeats and a draw in their previous 12 meetings dating back to 2006, Eddie Jones men put the Springboks to the sword through tries from Jonny May, Courtney Lawes, George Ford and Owen Farrell.May marked the conclusion of his injury-enforced spell in the international wilderness by finishing a slick score originating from a line-out, while Lawes celebrated his 50th cap by using his athleticism to complete an opportunistic counter-attack.Elliot Dalys full debut at outside centre mixed good with bad after the Wasps man initiated the move that led to Lawes crossing and landing a long-range penalty, but he was also thrown around on occasion.Head coach Eddie Jones branded South Africa bullies in the build up to this Old Mutual Wealth Series opener and described their rugby philosophy as chess with steroids, but these Springboks are a poor team who finished the match a disorganised mess.The rope-a-dope tactics Jones had said would be required to absorb the pressure from the tourists big ball carriers were only necessary for half an hour, by which point England were in full control. It was an ugly spectacle at times but the Grand Slam champions, who have amassed nine wins under Jones, were able to bring Twickenham to its feet with flashes of brilliance, among them two dummies from scrum-half Ben Youngs.Indiscipline resulted in England making a poor start as they conceded three penalties inside the opening five minutes alone, enabling South Africa to take a 6-0 lead through Pat Lambies boot.An attacking line-out provided them with the platform to hit back, however, with Marland Yarde roaming infield to create an overlap before combining with Mike Brown to send May racing over in the left corner. It was a slick response from England given the damp conditions, but for the second time in the opening quarter they allowed South Africa to surge through the middle of the ruck with Vincent Koch rampaging in the footsteps of Tendai Mtawarira before him.Combined with a scrum that came apart at the seams, the Grand Slam champions were coming under sustained pressure and Lambie was able to land another three points.A bulldozing run from Billy Vunipola generated momentum and with South Africa producing two poor kicks, England were able to spend a significant spell in the opposition 22 until Ford sent a drop-goal wide.Now there was conviction about their play as Ben Youngs made a forceful break that established field position under the posts and in the process a head on head collision between Billy Vunipola and Eben Etzebeth ended the giant Springbok locks afternoon.A collapsed scrum allowed Farrell to land a penalty and the lead was extended to 17-9 following a sharp counter-attack that started on the 22 with Daly kicking into space and May and Brown hacking on before Lawes arrived to touch down.Daly landed a monster penalty from close to the halfway line to create more daylight between the rivals and with half an hour remaining the outcome was beyond doubt.Youngs was almost at a stroll as he exploited a gap at the breakdown, easily duping flanker Pieter-Steph du Toit with a dummy before supplying Ford with the scoring pass for their third try.After a period of meandering, England were stung by seeing Johan Goosen link with Willem Alberts for the Springboks first try and touched down for a fourth time with Youngs selling another dummy with Farrell on hand to finish on this occasion.South Africa had the final say when Willie le Roux dotted down in the corner, but the contest had long since been decided. Demarcus Robinson Jersey . LOUIS -- St. Armani Watts Jersey . Rousey will put her perfect 8-0 record and hardware on the line against another undefeated fighter, 7-0 Sara McMann in the main event of UFC 170, which will be held at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas Nevada on February 22nd. http://www.prochiefsauthentic.com/Youth-Chad-Henne-Elite-Jersey/ .

Carl Frampton does not believe the absence of Leo Santa Cruzs father Jose, who is fighting cancer, has badly affected the Mexican boxer in preparation for their fight on July 30.Santa Cruz (32-0-1, 18 KOs), who is based in Los Angeles, has been training in California largely without Jose since he revealed his 56-year-old father has spinal cancer in May and has undergone chemotherapy treatment.It is not yet certain whether influential Jose, who has guided Leo to world titles in three weight divisions, will be in the corner when his son boxes Frampton (22-0, 14 KOs) at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.Even if he stays at home, Northern Irishman Frampton, 29, does not think it will unsettle Santa Cruz, 27, in a second defence of his WBA world feaatherweight title. Darron Lee Jersey. It may be that his training is affected, but he trains with his brother [Antonio] a lot anyway, Frampton told ESPN. I think his dad is still around for him but the illness has not helped.I dont want to talk too much about it because it would be disrespectful but it could be that Leo will use that as motivation, he will be even more fired up. Im expecting an even harder fight.Jose has been ever-present in the corner during Leos professional career.Even if I cant make it to New York, Im going to watch the fight, said Jose at a recent media for Leo. Even if its with one eye open, Im going to watch. ' ' '
