CARDIFF -- Determined to make a fast start in the defence of its Six Nations title, Wales selected a 32-man squad crammed with experience for its opening match against Italy. nfl jerseys china . The Welsh won their second straight title in 2013, but only after losing 30-22 at home to Ireland in the first round. That experience looks to have swayed coach Warren Gatlands thinking, with the New Zealander going with the tried and tested and deciding against picking any new faces. "We were a little bit slow starting last year and we know we need to start well on Feb. 1," Gatland said on Tuesday. "Weve picked a pretty experienced squad and kept it fairly tight at this stage." Centre Jonathan Davies was included, even though he will miss the first three rounds with a chest injury sustained during the November test series. Sam Warburton also hasnt played since the autumn internationals because of a shoulder injury but is named as captain. Gethin Jenkins is one of the props, although there are concerns over the state of his knee after he was injured in Cardiffs loss to Toulon in the Heineken Cup at the weekend. The Welsh are aiming to become the first team to win three straight Six Nations. "We have got an opportunity to create history and that is something we will focus on and something that will give us extra motivation," said Gatland, who handed over the reins to assistant Rob Howley for the 2013 tournament while he concentrated on his role as British Lions coach. "We have got the three games at home and two tough away games but when we won the Grand Slam in 2008 and 2012 we had these fixtures so we know it can be done." Wales away games are against Ireland and England. ------ Wales: Forwards: Paul James, Gethin Jenkins, Ryan Bevington, Richard Hibbard, Ken Owens, Emyr Phillips, Adam Jones, Samson Lee, Rhodri Jones, Alun Wyn Jones, Luke Charteris, Ian Evans, Andrew Coombs, Ryan Jones, Justin Tipuric, Sam Warburton (captain), Toby Faletau, Dan Lydiate, Aaron Shingler.

TORONTO -- It was just a week ago that Clarke MacArthur was demoted to the Toronto Maple Leafs fourth line. Now hes scoring big goals again for a team making a push for the playoffs. MacArthur brought the Air Canada Centre to its feet on Wednesday by scoring late in the third period as the Maple Leafs squeezed past the Pittsburgh Penguins 1-0. The winger has four goals and six points in three games since being reunited with Mikhail Grabovski and Nikolai Kulemin. Prior to that, he saw a season-low 9:58 of ice time on Jan. 23 as coach Ron Wilson tried to deliver a message. "It was a bit of a wakeup call and hes responded very well," said Wilson. The Leafs themselves managed a good response after blowing a 4-1 lead to Pittsburgh a night earlier and losing 5-4 in a shootout. It was their biggest collapse of the season. However, the players were able to take the positives out of their effort on Tuesday and held tough in the second half of a back-to-back. "I thought it was a harder-fought game tonight," said MacArthur. "It felt like a playoff game. There wasnt much given up on either side. You know, it was just nice to see our team (stick) with it. Its easy to get frustrated. "We stuck with it and got the win." The game was low on style points, but that mattered little to a Leafs team only concerned with adding points in the Eastern Conference standings. They are in the thick of playoff race and moved past the New Jersey Devils into seventh place. James Reimer stopped all 25 shots to deliver a victory in just his second start of 2012. The man who entered the season as Torontos No. 1 goalie was pleased with his performance. "I really wanted to get this win," said Reimer. "Its been a tough little last couple weeks or whatever. Things really havent gone my way, I felt like I was playing well and just wasnt getting the bounces. Tonight I got a lot of bounces. "It was just nice to have everything fall into place and just be on the winning side when the buzzer went." The Leafs and Penguins appeared to be headed to overtime for the second straight night until MacArthur finally broke through. He took a pass from Grabovksi and deked around Brent Johnson at 13:55 of the third period, touching off a big celebration on the ice and in the stands. From there, Reimer closed the door as the Penguins were held off the scoreboard for just the second timee this season. wholesale jerseys. It was their first loss in nine games. "I just think it was a little bit tighter checking of a game and that nullified some of the speed on both teams," said Penguins coach Dan Bylsma. "There wasnt near as much room out there to play the game tonight and as a result, there werent as many opportunities and scoring chances." Both coaches were left with some defensive concern after Tuesday nights game at Consol Energy Center and urged their players to tighten up. They responded with the kind of game where neither team looked willing to take chances. Even with NHL scoring leader Evgeni Malkin on the ice, there were very few dangerous rushes at either end of the ice. "That was a playoff game," said Leafs defenceman Cody Franson. "Thats tight-checking, hard-hitting, a lot of chip and run. It was fast-paced out there and it stayed tight right until the end. "Thats playoff hockey in a nutshell." Ultimately, it was a game calling for a big play. MacArthur provided many of those during a career season a year ago but has endured some struggles this season. An eight-game stretch without a point preceded his recent stint on the fourth line -- although Wilson indicated that move had little do to with scoring. "I wanted to get Clarke ... winning battles on the boards, but more than anything, moving his feet and becoming part of the forecheck," said Wilson. "He had gotten away from (it)." The winger was leading the charge on Wednesday night and made a nice move on Johnson before scoring his 16th goal of the season. Not only did it deliver some relief for him personally, but it also boosted the spirits of his teammates after Tuesdays tough loss. "Just how we felt after last game, to come back and answer like we did -- thats a lot of character in here," said MacArthur. "To get three out of four against a team like that that was rolling. Obviously, youd like all four but it doesnt work that way. "It was just a good answer back tonight." Notes:@ Toronto improved its record to 26-19-6 while the Penguins fell to 29-18-4 ...
