Leicester reclaimed fourth spot in the Aviva Premiership after a 19-11 victory at home to Northampton in a fiercely fought derby.The Tigers, who had lost the place to Exeter 24 hours earlier, just about deserved the win thanks to a dominant second-half performance by their forwards who pinned the Saints in their own 22 for long periods.The game produced just two tries - Adam Thompstone for Leicester and Mikey Haywood for Northampton - and two yellow cards, Thompstone and Northamptons Luther Burrell.Leicesters Freddie Burns kicked 11 points and Owen Williams three, while Stephen Myler kicked six for Northampton.Ed Slater captained Leicester after Tom Youngs withdrew with a back spasm and they were boosted by the return of two players from international duty, prop Logovii Mulipola and winger JP Pietersen who was on the bench.Northampton had winger George North and number eight Louis Picamoles back from international duty while centre JJ Hanrahan made his first start of the season.Leicester led 13-11 at half-time and the first half was as close as the score suggests, with Thompstone scoring a try for the Tigers and Burns kicking a conversion and two penalties.Haywood crossed for the Saints with Myler adding two penalties. Northampton made the worst possible start, losing England centre Burrell to the sin bin in the fourth minute for a high tackle and trailed 10-0 after 14 minutes.Burns kicked a penalty and then converted a lovely worked try, Thompstone going over after scrum-half Jono Kitto changed the direction of the attack in the 22 and Burns fired out a long pass.But the Saints recovered well and had the better of the rest of the half, the Tigers not being helped by a yellow card for Thompstone for tackling North while he was in the air in the 17th minute.Just after his departure Haywood squeezed over following a line-out and drive. Myler missed the conversion but swapped penalties with Burns before kicking a second penalty in the last minute when the Tigers conceded a penalty at a scrum.England centre Manu Tuilagi, who made his long-awaited return from injury at Bristol last week as a replacement, came on to huge cheers in the 51st minute with the Tigers struggling to contain Northampton.Leicester immediately lifted their game and were held up over the line in the 56th minute. They failed to score from two successive scrums but pinned Northampton in their own 22 and eventually the pressure told.After a succession of scrums and several wrestling matches on the Northampton line Leicester got a penalty which Burns kicked to make it 16-11. Williams sealed Leicesters win with a last-minute penalty. Cheap Jerseys Wholesale .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable.

Wholesale NFL Gear .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. TORONTO -- Mike Babcock scoffs at the notion that he simply shows up to coach the Canadians and they keep winning best-on-best games, a streak that has run to 14.I think thats what you guys think, he bristled at reporters.Whatever anyone things, Babcock has helped Canada win gold at the last two Olympics and he has the team rolling into the best-of-three World Cup of Hockey finals against Team Europe, with Game 1 on Tuesday night.His counterpart, meanwhile, is simply happy to have a shot to coach hockey again. Ralph Krueger wasnt sure if he would have another chance to be behind a bench after being fired a few years ago by the Edmonton Oilers via Skype while sitting on his daughters bed. He was let go after the Oilers went 19-22-7 during the lockout-shortened season.While still reeling from the blow, he got an opportunity to bounce back -- from Babcock. He asked Krueger to help the team as a consultant at the Sochi Games and they became friends, attending non-hockey events at the 2014 Olympics and swapping water skiing stories in recent years.Mike called me 12 hours later to ask me to come to the Olympic Games with Canada, so thats Mike Babcock, said Krueger, a Canadian who has known Babcock since 2004.Now, theyre matching wits as competitors in a tournament in which Canada seems to have everything to lose as a heavy favorite and Team Europe has everything to gain. Europes surprising performance has some wondering if the next time an NHL team has an opening, Kruger might get another call.You should never say never about anything in life, Krueger said. Circumstances change, but I definitely did not take this job hunting for a job.Krueger is chairman of Southampton , a Premier League soccer club. He ended up there by following an unusual path.When he became a coach in the Austrian Hockey League in 1994, Kruger was looking for another line of work.I was so frightened about the future and being unstable in coaching so I started doing motivational speaking and that took me into the corporate world, he recalled. I was then invited by the founder of the World Economic Forum to be one of thhe members of the leadership council.dddddddddddd. I was the only non-academic. There were 50 academics and me.That role led to his job with Southampton. When Team Europe was looking for a coach, its search started and ended with Krueger because of the relative success he has had in best-on-best tournaments.Kruger coached the Swiss at three Olympics, including in 2006 when he helped them to a sixth-place finish -- one spot ahead of Canada, a team they beat 2-0 -- and a fourth-place showing at the 1998 World Championships.Team Europe forward Frans Nielsen said he wouldnt be surprised if NHL teams start showing interest in Krueger.I think he has shown in this tournament how smart of a hockey brain he is, Nielsen said.He will be trying to figure out Canada this time, a team that hasnt lost a best-on-best game that counted under Babcock since the U.S. stunned the Canadians in the preliminary round of the Vancouver Games six years ago.I get up every morning, and I do the best I can, and work as hard as I can to prepare my team the best I can, Babcock said. Try to love the guys the best I can, try to make them feel good and make them better players. And I go home and love my family and I come here and do it the next day and over time things have worked out good.Babcock is the only coach to win gold at the Olympics and World Championships along with a Stanley Cup, which he helped the Detroit Red Wings hoist in 2008. He also led Anaheim to the Stanley Cup finals in 2003. His current team, the Maple Leafs, are in a rebuilding phase.Even though Babcock oozes with confidence these days, he acknowledged accomplishing the things he has were beyond his wildest dreams while he was growing up and climbing the coaching ladder.You grow up in Saskatoon or youre a coach at Red Deer College, you probably dont think youre going to coach Canadas Olympic team, he said.---Follow Larry Lage at www.twitter.com/larrylage and follow his work at www.bigstory.ap.org/content/larry-lage Cheap NFL Gear Cheap Jerseys Store Cheap Jerseys Online Cheap Stitched Jerseys NFL Jerseys From China China NFL Hoodies Youth NFL Jerseys Wholesale Cheap NFL Womens Jerseys Camo China NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys 2019 Stitched Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Wholesale Jerseys 2020 Wholesale Authentic Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Outlet ' ' '
