Wales have been placed on alert that Argentina will aim to create as much chaos as possible in Saturdays Principality Stadium clash.Just a week after being crushed 32-8 at home by Australia, Wales face the Wallabies Rugby Championship rivals in an encounter given added significance by their miserable autumn series opener.Interim head coach Rob Howley reacted to that defeat - Wales heaviest home loss for 10 years - by making six changes, including dropping 84 times-capped midfield mainstay Jamie Roberts to the bench and recalling his fellow Test Lions Sam Warburton and Alun Wyn Jones.Wales have beaten Argentina seven times from nine attempts in Cardiff, and a similar result on Saturday under the stadiums closed roof would at least put the autumn campaign back on track ahead of meeting Japan and South Africa later this month.It was a very uncharacteristic performance last Saturday, Wales assistant coach and forwards specialist Robin McBryde said. There were two things - how good Australia were, and how uncharacteristic we were defensively. It was just one of those first halves. At half-time, we were left scratching our heads, really.Argentina are consistent performers in the Rugby Championship. They will be physical, they will be fast. They will have looked at our performance from last weekend, and we have got to put that right with regards to how we defend the threats they pose. Any loose kicks, they are going to look to run it back and try to create as much chaos as possible, which is the type of game they thrive on.?You are hoping for a reaction. The (Wales) players know what is ahead of them tomorrow, they know what is asked of them. There was nobody more disappointed than the players themselves in that they didnt front up last Saturday. It really is a measure of the team and all of us, really, in how we perform tomorrow and come back stronger.?Warburton, back in the team after injury, has seen prop Gethin Jenkins retain the captaincy on an occasion when Jenkins will make a world record-breaking 133rd Test match appearance for a front-row forward.But the Cardiff Blues flanker still has an integral leadership role to play when Wales target what would be their first win since they destroyed Italy on the final day of last seasons RBS 6 Nations Championship.For the first 24 hours after a result like that (against Australia), you go home, pretty much waiting for the next training day to try to put things right, Warburton said.You only need that carrot dangled in front of you of starting for Wales against Argentina on Saturday, and you are desperate to go out there and put in a performance which everyone will be proud of and we know we are capable of doing.Its annoying the last game we played was a defeat, which we admit was a poor performance. So we are desperate to put that right and prove to our fans what we are capable of. Thats enough motivation for the players.Warburton, meanwhile, paid a glowing tribute to his Blues and Wales colleague Jenkins, who will be 36 next week but shows no obvious sign of slowing up as he moves past ex-New Zealand hooker Keven Mealamu and into fourth place on rugby unions all-time cap list behind Richie McCaw, Brian ODriscoll and George Gregan.Gethin is in that top category as one of Wales greatest players, Warburton added. Two or three years ago, people would be saying hes slowing down, but I havent seen him slow down at all in training or in games.With Gethin, he is second to none performance-wise. He always puts his body on the line. He empties the tank, and I really respect that. He leads from the front, and tactically he is very astute and a very intelligent rugby player. He is very good on the field at problem-solving.It sounds an easy thing to do, but when you are in the heat of a Test match there might be something which is going on, whether its a driving line-out or an attacking play which hasnt worked. He is very good at changing that, which a lot of players cant do. E... Engram Jersey .

The Seminoles (4-0) have scored at least 80 points in each of their games. LONG POND, Pa. -- They sat next to each other taking question after question after IndyCar practice, shrugging off the thought that tension might have crept into their everyday lives.For Simon Pagenaud and Will Power of Team Penske -- 1-2 in the driver standings with four races left in the season -- Saturday was just another day at the office at Pocono Raceway.Ive been in that situation before. Nothings changed. We dont talk, Power said, joking. Its good. Its expected, honestly. Every year you come into the season expecting to battle with your teammate. I battled Juan (Pablo Montoya) last year. I think the older you get the less you kind of worry about personalities and all that. It doesnt matter. When you get on the track, the best car is going to win. Its as simple as that.Pagenaud began the season with five straight top-two finishes that included three wins and outraced Power at the end of the last race, at Mid-Ohio three weeks ago, for his series-leading fourth victory.Power has made a steady march back after qualifying first for the season-opener at St. Petersburg and then being forced to sit the race because of concussion concerns. In the past five races, hes duplicated Pagenauds start, winning three times and finishing in the runner-up spot twice, to trim Pagenauds lead to 58 points as the teams prepare for Sundays 500-mile race at the tricky triangle-shaped track.Were going to have to be teammates for a long time, hopefully, Pagenaud said. We come to the track every week. If we dont get along, its going to be a nightmare. We both want to be fighting for the championship. We all want to fight against each other for the championship. That means our cars are the best. I think its the perfect situation. Theres really no point hating each other.Pagenaud barely avoided wrecks in Saturdays morning practice that collected Ryan Hunter-Reay and Penske teammate Montoya. The Frenchman later qualified 14th, his worst qualifying performance of what has been a banner season. Power will start eighth, while teammate Helio Castroneves, third in the standings and within striking distance of the top spot if his teammates have problems, will start fourth.That coulld be very good for us tomorrow, Castroneves said.dddddddddddd The championship is still alive.The series resumes next week in Texas, which will be completed after being called because of rain in mid-June. Thats bad news for Joef Newgarden, fourth in points. He was leading the race when he crashed and wont be allowed to finish it.Im going to be there to support the team. Ive already finished where I finished there, said Newgarden, who trails Pagenaud by 120 points. I would have been crashed out of the race. If the rain didnt come, we finish the race, this would have been a done thing. Its only odd because its never happened before. This is unprecedented.If all goes according to plan, even with Texas, yeah, I think theres a possibility (to win the title), Newgarden said. You never know.For Power, as the season dwindles his mind still wanders back to St. Petersburg.You cant dwell on it, he said. It happened, and it was probably going to be a pretty good race for me. I was starting on pole. It was a huge chunk of points lost.If I win the championship it would not even be a factor. Ten points, though, would haunt me.Haunting, too, is the memory of Justin Wilson, who died a year ago after being hit in the helmet by debris from a late-race crash at Pocono. Pocono Raceway has painted the letters JW on the track at the finish line, Union Jacks are flying at half-staff in honor of the Englishman, and countless fans and crew members wore special socks created in his honor.Its hard to keep your mind off things when everybodys talking about it so much, Graham Rahal said. You just really want to come here and just focus on the job at hand, not what happened last year.Clearly, for a lot of us that were close to him, its tough because every time you drive down pit lane, youre reminded. Every time you look at somebodys socks youre reminded, which is a great thing in its own right. But as a driver, you need to be able to get in and do your job.---AP Auto Racing Website: www.racing.ap.org---Follow Kekis on Twitter: www.twitter.com/Greek1947 [url=http://www.wholesalejerseysforcheapauthentic.com/]Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
