New Zealand will aim to summon Jonah Lomus smiling assassin spirit when seeking revenge over Ireland in Dublin on Saturday.Captain Kieran Read admitted the All Blacks have talked at length this week about former wing Lomu, who died a year ago on Friday, aged just 40.The All Blacks will pay tribute to Lomu in Saturdays Aviva Stadium showdown, where New Zealand are aiming to atone for their first-ever loss to Ireland, the 40-29 defeat in Chicago.Giant wing Lomu changed rugby forever with his bullocking running, winning 63 caps between 1994 and 2002, only to suffer serious kidney problems later.Weve certainly spoken about it as a group, said Read when asked if New Zealand will pay tribute to Lomu this weekend. Hes one of our legends in this All Blacks family, we certainly feel for his family at this time of the year.Its extra motivation for the group, so well be playing for him and his family. But the other thing is the earthquake, thats something else thats on a lot of the guys minds.Early on Monday, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake in New Zealand left two people dead, triggered a small tsunami and brought down rocks and mud that swept across highways.Read continued: So the best way we can honour all of that is to go out there and perform on the pitch.He admitted suffering his first defeat as All Blacks captain against Ireland in Chicago has made for an uncomfortable two weeks since.New Zealand have the chance to avenge that Soldier Field loss this weekend however, and Read insisted it is vital the All Blacks produce a performance worthy of the late Lomu.Read revealed Lomu as the reason he started playing rugby himself, having watched from the terraces as a youngster as the potent winger carved up defences for Counties Manukau.To me he was a massive inspiration, hes the reason why I played footie, said Read. I grew up in the area where he was from and played his footie, and I went to watch him every weekend.It would have been down at Pukekohe Stadium, watching him for Counties, and he was just a legend for what he did on the pitch. But also his smile, and how he conducted himself off the pitch, that shone through too. He was a top man.Its something I guess we can perhaps use on an individual level. But the way we can do that is by preparing and playing to the highest standard. Every time he ran out he did that and thats what well try to do tomorrow.That defeat in Chicago makes guys uncomfortable, suffering the loss and how to deal with it. So you might look back on this as defining, the loss and how you respond to it. Weve never had it easy coming to Ireland and the Aviva, and we certainly wont have it easy this weekend either.

Joe Montana Jersey . -- Aldon Smith believes he is on the path to being sober for good. PITTSBURGH -- Look who has the best record in the major leagues. Gerrit Cole overcame a rocky start to become the first Pirates pitcher to win his first four career starts in more than a century and the Pirates won their seventh straight, 10-3 over the Milwaukee Brewers. The Pirates moved a game up in the NL Central when the St. Louis Cardinals lost later at Oakland. At 49-30, Pittsburgh has the best record in baseball. Cole (4-0) gave up three runs in the first inning but no more as he made it through six innings, allowing eight hits with three walks and three strikeouts. Nick Maddox started 4-0 in his first four starts in 1907. "Its really a team effort," Cole said. "Ive pitched pretty well but Ive gotten a lot of support defensively and our offence has been very opportunistic. It feels good to say Im 4-0 but it feels even better because the team is playing well." The Pirates are on their longest winning streak since running off 10 in a row in 2004. The Pirates havent had a winning season since 1992 and the 20-year stretch of futility is the longest in major North American professional team sports history. However, they are not getting caught up in being in the rarified air of being 19 games over .500 in June. "Were just focused on winning that day," Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. "Our guys our very focused on taking it pitch to pitch." Johnny Hellweg (0-1) failed to get out of the second inning in his major league debut, giving up seven runs -- five earned -- in 1 2-3 innings. "He didnt come out with very good stuff," Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said. "He was trying to aim the ball instead of throw it. That happens a lot of times when its a guys first time out." Starling Marte had a double and triple among his three hits, and just missed a homer in the eighth when he flied out to deep centre field. McCutchen had three hits, including his ninth home run, and three RBIs for Pittsburgh. Pedro Alvarez added two hits and Neil Walker hit a two-run double to start a seven-run second inning in which the Pirates sent 12 batters to the plate. Alvarez extended his hitting streak to 11 games Ryan Reid pitched three scoreless innings for his first career save. He was called up from Triple-A Indianapolis on June 3 after spending seven seasons in the minor leagues. "Its really nice to get a save but its even better to help the team win," said Reid, who has a 1.00 ERA in six games. "I feel good about being able to come up here and help the team keep winning." Carlos Gomez, who missed the previous three games with a sprained right shoulder, had two hits for the Brewers. Jean Segura and Juan Francisco also had two hits apiece.dddddddddddd. Rickie Weeks ran his hitting streak to 13 games. Walkers double got the Pirates to 3-2, scoring Garrett Jones and Alvarez, who led off with singles. The Pirates then loaded the bases as Hellweg walked Travis Snider and Cole around a groundout by Jordy Mercer. Marte then singled home Walker with the tying run. The Pirates went ahead when Russell Martin followed by hitting a grounder up the middle that Segura, the shortstop, misplayed for an error, allowing Snider and Cole to score. McCutchen and Alvarez followed with RBI singles to knock the 6-foot-9 Hellweg from the game. "We had some trouble with (Hellweg) in the first inning," McCutchen said. "Hes so big and he was throwing sinkers from a downhill angle at a time when there still were shadows on the field. Then we got adjusted to him." Milwaukee acquired Hellweg and Segura, who leads the National League with 104 hits, last July from the Los Angeles Angles in a trade for ace pitcher Zack Greinke. Hellweg was 7-4 with a 2.82 ERA in 14 starts with Triple-A Nashville this season. "I wanted to have a good pace, I thought that was important in my first game, but I really started rushing things, especially in that second inning," Hellweg said. The Brewers jumped on Cole for three quick runs. A walk to Norichika Aoki and singles by Segura and Gomez loaded the bases and Aramis Ramirez walked to force in a run. A second run scored when Jonathan Lucroy grounded into a double play and Francisco capped the inning with an RBI single. However, the 3-0 lead held up only for one inning, and the Pirates added on runs following their seven-run second. Marte hit an RBI double in the third and tripled in the sixth and scored on McCutchens double. McCutchen homered off Michael Gonzalez in the eighth. "I was on the ropes and the pitch count was getting up there in that first inning but I got some groundballs in the second, guys made some really good plays behind and that settled me down," Cole said.
