Eddie Jones has compared Tom Wood to Samson after recalling the Northampton flanker for Englands autumn series.Wood makes his first appearance in a national squad since being jettisoned after last years failed World Cup, profiting from the injury crisis that has seen six players ruled out of contention at openside.The 29-year-olds international career appeared to be over after revealing in January that Jones had told him he was distinctly average and lacked the world-class work-rate demanded of a six.Jones has revised his opinion of the Northampton captain due to his recent form and jokes that his resurrection has coincided with the hirsute makeover that evokes the image of Samson, the Biblical figure whose power was tied to his hair.It might be the long hair and the beard. He might be like Samson - gets stronger with the long hair and the beard, Jones said. Ive been really impressed with his work-rate. Ive been in contact with him to do certain things and hes done that. Hell certainly be in contention.While Wood is an option at openside, Jones hinted that it is his Northampton team-mate Teimana Harrison who is arguing the most convincing case for selection.James Haskell, Jack Clifford, Sam Jones, Mike Williams and Maro Itoje have been removed from contention, leaving England to examine their sixth-choice options in a position that has been problematic since the break-up of the 2003 World Cup-winning team.Harrison was replaced 31 minutes into the third Test against Australia in June for failing to bring enough physicality to the back row and Jones last month appeared to remove him from contention, stating he is unsuitable at this stage in his career, but he has since been encouraged by his recent revival at Saints.I was very impressed with Harrison last week. In a Northampton side that didnt do so well, that was the best performance Ive seen from a number seven in a Premiership team, he said.Chris Robshaw could be reinstated at seven, but blindside flanker is still viewed as his most natural home.Its always an option. Hes still got that six-and-a-half jersey tucked away, Jones said. Hes moved from six to six-and-a-half, so another half point to seven isnt really going to matter. At this stage hes still seen as our best six.Three of the 10 players ruled out of the entire autumn programme that is launched against South Africa on November 12 were injured at last months training camp in Brighton.Wings Anthony Watson and Jack Nowell and flanker Jones were removed from consideration, leading to criticism of the intensity of Englands spell on the south coast.On Sunday the 33-man squad depart for a week of warm weather training in Portugal and Jones has no intention of adjusting his methods.Well theres nothing to change. We want to train with intensity and injuries are part of rugby, Jones said. No one likes to see players get injured but were playing South Africa so we need to train with intensity to beat them. We havent beaten them since 2006.History shows that when youre preparing for a World Cup you need depth down to four and five in all positions. Stephen Donald was out whitebaiting and then kicked the winning goal in a World Cup final for New Zealand wearing a jersey that was too small. Thats the sort of depth you need.You never like to see players get injured but it presents opportunities for other guys to come forward. Cheap Air Max 97 Wholesale . SIMONS ISLAND, Ga.

The NBA season reached something of a calendar milestone on Thursday with Thanksgiving coming and going.Most teams have played about 15 games to this point and statistics and standings are beginning to settle in as identities get formed. The grind of the season will separate teams and the Playoff races begin to take shape.Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the NBA season gets set fully on its course.The Orlando Magic (6-10) know that. At least their veterans do.Forward Jeff Green senses his team needs a little urgency in the final game of a three-game homestand, on Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks, before taking its first long trip of the season.We have to correct things now, Green said after Wednesdays loss. We can continue to say its still early, but we have to come to a point where we have to fix it now in order for us to be there in the end.We have to go back to the drawing board, but Friday we have to fix it. For me, thats a must win. And we must win Sunday.The Magic did not quite fix things Friday against the Washington Wizards. They came out flat on both ends and fell 94-91 at home, needing a 19-point comeback to make it a game.Perhaps November is not the time to take too much of a focus on the standings. The Magic are only 1.5 games out of the final spot in the Eastern Conference.But offensive struggles have given the Magic plenty of pause and concern for the rest of their season. They are struggling to score even 90 points per game.The games keep coming. And they all count the same when it comes to the year-end Playoff races. And that could makke Sundays game against the Bucks all the more important.dddddddddddd.The Bucks (6-8) are still in the thick of the early Playoff race too. And they have dealt with their own inconsistent play.Milwaukee has started to hit its groove this season. Even coming off a 105-99 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Friday, the Bucks feel confident about their play and their chances.I thought we had this game today, swingman Giannis Antetokounmpo said. They just made tough shots down the stretch. They made some threes. If we played the game again, they could miss those shots. As a team, we saw a lot of good things.Now we move forward to Orlando. Im not putting pressure on my teammates, but if we go with the same mentality and the same focus we had tonight, we can get that game.Antetokounmpo recorded his first triple double of the season against the Magic on Monday. His play was crucial to the Bucks coming back in that game and racing ahead at the end for the close win.Having defeated the Magic earlier in the week in Milwaukee, Sunday represents an opportunity to score a decisive victory over a team they might compete with in the standings when March and April roll around.The Magic and Bucks have split their season series each of the last three seasons. Both rebuilding teams are trying to find their fit in the early Eastern Conference race. And Sunday represents a chance for one to get the leg up on the other before things begin to get serious. ' ' '
