Info on the WrestleMania 36 weekend events and locations

Posted on December 5, 2022December 5, 2022 by mobanmarket

While the Raymond James Stadium will host WrestleMania, the Amalie Arena will be hosting all the other weekend WWE live events.
The Amalie Arena, which is located around 5 miles away from the Raymond James Stadium, can fit around 20,000 fans while the stadium sits just over 65,000 fans plus it has an additional 10,000 temporary seats for special events.
Next year’s show will have a different order of events though as Smackdown is moving to Friday nights on FOX starting this October. In the press release, WWE is listing four nights of events, rather than five, starting with Smackdown, then the Hall of Fame, NXT Takeover, and Raw. Since Smackdown is on Friday, it’s unclear what goes on Saturday night although most likely it will be NXT.
The Hall of Fame might be a different format starting from next year and could be during the day rather than in the evening. By the looks of it, there will be no events on Tuesday.
WWE has not announced where Axxess will be taking place from but the Tampa Convention Center looks like the ideal location.Click Here: custom stamp die mould

Glamour aplenty in the Challenge Cup, but Connacht best served pushing hard in Pro14

THIS TIME LAST season, Connacht were preparing to open their Challenge Cup campaign. And they badly needed it.

A trip to the mountains to meet, and comprehensively beat, Oyonnax was just what the doctor ordered for then coach Kieran Keane, not long removed from queries as to whether he was ‘fit to spit’.

Entering Europe on the back of defeats to Dragons, Cardiff, Scarlets and Ulster (one win from six all told), they found form on their visit to the Alps and in a home win over Worcester and duly enjoyed the bounce on their return to the bread and butter.

Suddenly, there was a look of momentum to their list of results as they beat Munster and Cheetahs while turning a dismal 1-5 record to 5-10.

That pattern would repeat itself to some extent throughout the campaign: the December back-to-back cruise against Brive was followed by a win over Ulster and a close-run thing at the RDS.

After the pool stage came to a close, the westerners claimed a February victory over Ospreys.

The change of pace, or maybe the reduced burden, of a new competition can be an incredibly welcome relief. But right now, Connacht have no need to chase results to pad out their collection of Ws.

In the long run, a physical relief for the western province front-liners could have greater benefits than simply a mental one.

So far, Andy Friend’s influence has been felt in only positive ways on Connacht. Though Keane did plenty right during his one year in charge, public statements like explaining away defeat to Zebre as “a head-scratcher” or declaring “you can’t coach courage” after a win over Cheetahs didn’t exactly send confidence sky-rocketing.

Under Friend, Connacht are a side brimming with purpose again, running Glasgow close on opening day, showing their full array of talent to beat Scarlets and shedding the weight of history by beating Ulster in Belfast.

They sit fifth in Pro14 Conference A, three points off second-place Ospreys. Short-term: Allen Clarke’s team, who Connacht travel to face on before the end of the month, should be the primary target. Long-term: this team is capable of qualifying for the Heineken Champions Cup through their Pro14 form.

Obviously, there is a route to the Champions Cup that goes through this competition too. And the presence this year of marquee clubs like Clermont Auvergne, Northampton Saints, Stade Francais and La Rochelle makes it doubly tempting to pursue that route in the hope of claiming big scalps and, potentially, big gates along the way.

Yet big games, ones not overshadowed by the larger competition, can also be set up with a focus on league form. Connacht’s passionate supporters won’t find it hard to muster themselves into the spirit of 2016 if a playoff place comes their way.

Last season, Bundee Aki played five pool matches in the Challenge Cup. He is well capable of doing that and more again, but are Connacht better off spreading his talent and energy away from the league?

Friend’s team selection today will be revealing. It would be terrific to see Bordeaux met with a mixture of new combinations, players low on minutes and with an eye on investing in men such as Cillian Gallagher, Peter Claffey and James Connolly, or young backs in the mould of Conor Fitzgerald, Kieran Joyce and Luke Carty.

Unleashing them all at once would be counter-productive, of course. But if the French rivals in Pool 3 are intent on focusing their resources on the Top 14, then Connacht have plenty of wiggle room to experiment in Europe and ensure they are nicely rested and reloaded when the Pro14 returns.

Because big games are coming. Immediately after EPCR rounds one and two, Friend’s men face Ospreys (a), Dragons (h) and a trip to face the Kings and Cheetahs in South Africa.

On the evidence of Connacht’s season so far, these are four eminently winnable fixtures — two of them against conference A rivals — before the December back-to-backs roll around.

And the next round of inter-provincial derbies won’t be long after that. They are the games that will define Connacht’s campaign.

‘It was a huge occasion for them and you could see what it meant to them’

Posted on December 3, 2022December 3, 2022 by mobanmarket

Murray Kinsella reports from Stade Ernest Wallon

TOULOUSE’S JOYOUS CELEBRATIONS at the end said it all.

The four-times winners, back in the Heineken Champions Cup after missing out on involvement last season, made a thrilling statement of their potential against Leinster, edging a riveting contest on a 28-27 scoreline.

In doing so, they showed that talk of Leinster being potentially unbeatable in the aftermath of last weekend’s hammering of Wasps had been foolish.

Though Toulouse have retreated out of the limelight in recent years, they have been slowly growing as a force, with talented homegrown players leading the revival.

This three-try victory over defending champions Leinster represents a huge step in the journey, particularly given how it was sealed with a stunning length-of-the-field try finished by Maxime Médard, a relative veteran at the age of 31.

For Leinster, this narrow defeat will be extremely frustrating, especially as their errors played a part in Toulouse bursting into a 14-0 lead inside the opening quarter.

Leo Cullen’s men did force their way back in front in the second half, leading 27-21, but Toulouse produced a strong finish to shock Leinster with that scintillating Médard try, converted by composed fullback Thomas Ramos.

“We knew what all the things at the start of the game would mean to them, what that would bring to the game for them,” said Cullen post-match in Toulouse. “We were probably a little too inaccurate at the start and they built that 14-point lead.

“I thought we showed pretty good composure and fought our way back into the game and obviously they scored just before half-time but, even at that, I think the lads knew that if they held onto the ball a little bit better and controlled possession that there were going to be opportunities and space out there.

“27-21, three tries, we were looking pretty strong at that stage with 55 minutes gone.

“It’s disappointing for us not to push on from there. We have a lineout, they make a good read, come up with an intercept and go the length of the field and it’s those big moments in the game.

“I thought they did incredibly well in terms of their ability to execute once they make the intercept and the read but, from our point of view, there are so many different things in both halves of the game where we cough up positions too cheaply to feed what their strength is – that unstructured, chaotic game and the pace they have out wide.

“It’s not ideal. We didn’t put enough of a squeeze on them and, ultimately, that’s what’s cost us but there’s plenty to take out of the game.”

The manner in which Toulouse attacked Leinster – in possession, at the set-piece, in defence – was a stark contrast to the limp effort Wasps had delivered in their 52-3 defeat at the RDS in the first round.

Leinster had never let themselves get carried away by that eight-try success, but the atmosphere and challenge they faced in Toulouse were on a different scale.

“It’s very different coming away here, what it means to them being back in Europe and back at home, all that goes with that,” said Cullen. “It was a huge occasion for them and you could see what it meant to them.

“It was a huge occasion for us as well but, for whatever reason, we were just a little bit off and sometimes that’s all it takes, where you’re just not quite respecting possession enough and you think you’re going to get into that free-flowing game that we maybe were in the second half [against Wasps].

Robbie Henshaw at full-time. Source: James Crombie/INPHO

“A lot of work obviously went into getting to that point and away from home, sometimes you need to manage the conditions slightly differently. There’s plenty for us to work on.”

Cullen warned that Bath, who Leinster face twice in December, will be “scrapping for their lives” in Pool 1, but the Irish province remain in a good position to advance.

Toulouse lead the group on eight points, with Leinster two behind, Bath on four and Wasps coming up the rear on three.

Losing openside flanker Josh van der Flier just 18 minutes into this evening’s meeting with Toulouse was far from helpful for Leinster, although he will hope to be back in action soon after suffering a head injury.

Van der Flier didn’t undergo a Head Injury Assessment as Leinster had seen him displaying symptoms of a head injury, meaning Sean O’Brien completed the game in his place.

“He just had a criteria one [meaning he had to be instantly removed and kept off], so he took a bit of a bang and had a bit of a stumble when he came up, so that’s just a straight removal for him,” said Cullen.

“Other than that, just a few bangs and knocks – we haven’t got a full medical update yet. It was pretty physical out there.”

With several of Joe Schmidt’s senior players left at home for the trip to the US, Joey Carbery and Luke McGrath will guide the team from the halfback positions, while Bundee Aki and Garry Ringrose form the centre pairing.

Jordan Larmour – making his first Ireland start – wins his seventh cap from fullback, with Andrew Conway on the right wing and the prolific Jacob Stockdale on the left.

Niall Scannell gets an opportunity to build on his good tour to Australia in June in the hooker position, with the experienced Jack McGrath and the explosive Andrew Porter alongside him in the front row.

Munster man Tadhg Beirne – also making his first Test start – has been named for his third cap in the second row, with Connacht’s Quinn Roux packing down beside him.

Captain Ruddock forms the back row with Leinster team-mates Josh van der Flier and Jack Conan.

Meanwhile, Schmidt is set to hand Test debuts to Ross Byrne and Will Addison, who have both been named on the bench for the clash with Conor O’Shea’s side.

Rare Barrett drop-goal helps New Zealand scrape comeback win over England

Posted on November 30, 2022October 30, 2024 by mobanmarket

Click:aluminum CNC machining

England 15

New Zealand 16

TMO CONTROVERSY OVERSHADOWED the end of another England Test today, but this time it was the tourists who benefitted and came away with a one-point win.

After New Zealand battled back from 15 points down to lead in Twickenham, a Courtney Lawes chargedown and Sam Underhill break looked set to give Eddie Jones’ side a decisive lead.

The celebrations were short-lived however as the TMO adjudged Lawes to be offside before TJ Perenara’s attempted box-kick and New Zealand were able to celebrate a narrow, nervy win thanks to the boot of Beauden Barrett and a Damien McKenzie try.

England got off to a brilliant start in the driving rain, capitalising on Brodie Retallick’s early error to set an early attack in motion deep in Kiwi territory. Ben Youngs flung a sublime skip pass to the blindside right flank where Chris Ashton had more than enough power to accelerate off wet turf and over the try-line despite the last-ditch efforts of McKenzie.

Owen Farrell missed the resulting conversion, but a sweetly-stuck drop-goal after 10 minutes gave England an 8-0 lead to show for their early physical dominance.

And when a frenzied white maul rolled over the try-line to allow Dylan Hartley touch down, even the back-to-back world champions knew they had a steep hill to climb back into the game.

Yet climb they did. Trailing 15-0 with time running out in the first-half, captain Kieran Read bullishly passed up the chance for an easy three points, instead opting for an attacking scrum. The confidence in his team-mates was rewarded within two phases as Barrett’s reverse pass is eaten up by McKenzie before the fullback crashes over under the posts.

And there was more to dampen the Twickenham mood before half-time as the All Blacks mounted another attack and, this time, settled for a kick at goal which was knocked over by Barrett to leave the tourists with just a 15-10 deficit heading into the second half.

If ever there is evidence that New Zealand are taking a Test very seriously indeed it is the sight of an All Black 10 shaping to take on a rare drop-goal.

On the day of his 71st cap, Barrett slotted his first international drop-goal to make it a one-point game.

Barrett continued to make doubts over his kicking ability look foolish come the hour mark, booting his side into the lead off the tee to complete an impressive 16-point turnaround in the space of just over 20 match minutes.

An absorbing contest came extremely close to taking one more big twist. With just five minutes left on the clock, Lawes got a big hand to Perenara’s box-kick and Underhill turned last man Barrett inside out before he grounded what he thought would be a winning try in the left corner.

But as the previous ruck was replayed in slow motion to show Lawes ahead of the front-most foot, it was clear the try could not be allowed to stand.

After one last English attack ended in error, New Zealand showed little hesitation in kicking the ball out when the clock went red. They take the one-point win and march on to Dublin where they will battle Ireland for the right to take the world number one ranking through to 2019.

All Blacks depart Dublin after being ‘manipulated’ by clever Ireland

Posted on November 29, 2022November 7, 2024 by mobanmarket

Click:NBA live zhibo

STEVE HANSEN SEEMED to be slightly confused on Sunday morning when he was reflecting on one of the big moments in the All Blacks’ defeat to Ireland.

He paid tribute to Devin Toner’s athleticism in highlighting what he believed was the second row’s save of a possible Ben Smith try in the second half, an act that Peter O’Mahony had actually pulled off to great acclaim.

The All Blacks were left dejected in Dublin. Source: Tommy Dickson/INPHO

It was understandable from Hansen’s point of view, given that there were Irish players all over the pitch making big plays to frustrate, out-fight and out-think the Kiwis.

New Zealand were close on Saturday night, of that there should be little doubt, and had Kieran Read held the ball after blocking down Jacob Stockdale’s chip kick in the Ireland half, it’s likely the story would have finished very differently.

Instead, Stockdale bounced back a few minutes later as Ireland manipulated the Kiwi defence to create the space for their indomitable wing to chip into.

“It was well done and when they score a try like that you’ve just got to acknowledge the way they do that,” said All Blacks wing Ben Smith afterwards.

“As a team, they have got a lot of tricks up their sleeve, but we’ve got to be a bit better with how we defend those tricks and that is an example.

“I suppose they sort of manipulated us a wee bit with bringing myself up and then kicking in behind the space. It’s just well done and, as I said before, they played really well and deserved their win.”

No excuses from the Kiwis and though Hansen had a bit of what Joe Schmidt called “banter” in declaring Ireland as World Cup favourites, the All Blacks will be focusing their attention internally over the coming summer months back home.

The defeat underlined more clearly than ever to Hansen that there is still work to be done.

“If we’re honest with ourselves, we’ve tried to change how we want to play and we’re still stuck between the old way and the new way,” said Hansen on Sunday morning.

“We haven’t got it right yet. Did we think we were going to have it right by now? Probably not but we’ve got a bit of work to do over the summer.

“We’re not going to fix it in a week, but we will fix it and when we get it right, we’ll see some big improvements.

“You introduce something that’s new after doing something for four or five years, it’s hard to break those habits and particularly under pressure.

“At times last night, we left opportunities on the park if we had gone the new way, but it’s about everyone seeing the same picture at the same time and we’ve got to be patient with that and get our decision-making better.”

Is Beauden Barrett the All Blacks’ best out-half, or might he be better deployed at fullback with Richie Mo’unga lining out at 10? Should Ben Smith return to the 15 shirt? Where does Damian McKenzie fit in? What’s their best centre pairing?

There are questions for Hansen and his coaching staff to answer, although they have enviable talent in all areas and are likely to come back from defeat even stronger.

Speaking on Saturday, Schmidt stressed that the World Cup remains a long way off, but this result does paint the tournament in a slightly less positive light for the Kiwis.

The All Blacks will undoubtedly go in as favourites, but the anticipation levels have only risen after Ireland’s win.

“There’s plenty of time and plenty of rugby to be played before the World Cup but it’s something that we’re aware of,” said Kiwi lock Sam Whitelock. “It was a great Test match and I think both sides will take learnings from it.

“I think they had a couple of opportunities and they scored from it. I know our defence, myself included, at the start probably gave them a little bit of momentum.

“They held the ball and it felt like we were defending very well but we kind of let that pressure off by giving away a silly penalty, and all of a sudden they have another free go, and that’s something that we’ll address going forward.

“Then obviously when we had the ball, making sure that we can really penetrate. They defended very well so full credit to them, they didn’t give us many opportunities and the ones we did get, we didn’t capitalise.”

Conor O’Shea suffers Six Nations blow as Italy wing Bellini is ruled out

Posted on November 28, 2022November 28, 2022 by mobanmarket

ITALY’S MATTIA BELLINI has been ruled out for the duration of the 2019 Six Nations Championship.

The 24-year-old wing is set to be sidelined for four months after undergoing surgery on the shoulder he dislocated in his country’s November Test against Australia.

Bellini had scored Italy’s only try against the Wallabies, before being forced off later in the game as Conor O’Shea’s side suffered a 26-7 defeat in Padua.

The Zebre player also suffered ligament damage and a bone fracture to the shoulder, which will keep him out of a Six Nations campaign that begins for the Italians with a trip to Murrayfield to play Scotland on 2 February.

Analysis: Murray’s arc-running influence vital in guiding Munster over the line

Posted on November 27, 2022November 27, 2022 by mobanmarket

MUNSTER AND CONOR Murray weren’t quite at their best on Sunday against Castres, but both still showed their European class to ensure another four match points for Johann van Graan’s side.

Source: Dan Sheridan/INPHO

The win leaves Munster in control at the top of Pool 2 and it was little surprise that Murray’s quality at scrum-half helped to make the difference.

The 29-year-old was making just his third appearance of the season and will only get better with each game, but his decisiveness was crucial in helping Munster to get over the tryline in an at-times frustrating encounter in Limerick.

Murray ended the game with two assists, underlining his play-making importance to van Graan’s team.

After Munster had eked out a 6-0 advantage at the break, Murray’s first assist came early in the second half after CJ Stander picked from the base of a wheeling scrum eight metres out from the Castres tryline.

Click here if you cannot view the clip above

As we can see above, Castres halfbacks Ludovic Radosavljevic and Benjamin Urdapilleta both commit into the tackle on Stander.

With Munster shaping to carry to Murray’s left on the next phase, the Castres pack all fold around the corner to the openside.

Murray has a habitual glance up to the right of the ruck as he gets set to launch the second phase, just before Castres flanker Mathieu Babillot falls over the ball as he attempts to counter-ruck.

The Munster scrum-half, always aware of the defensive alignment around rucks, takes his opportunity in the next split second.

As we can see below, Castres wing Taylor Paris [in yellow] is the only defender positioned away from the ruck on the shortside.

Second row Thibault Lassalle [white above] is in the pillar area at the side of Munster’s ruck, but even at that, he is positioned more in behind the ruck.

It’s extremely poor defensive organisation and awareness from Castres to leave this much space open, and Murray doesn’t need to be asked twice to take his chance.

Munster out-half JJ Hanrahan [yellow below] identifies the opportunity at almost the same moment as Murray, while Andrew Conway’s positioning wide on the right [blue] means Paris can’t bite in on Murray.

That leaves Murray [white] running one of his threatening arcs away from the ruck against the highly-exposed Lassalle.

Murray gets up a strong left-handed fend to keep Lassalle away from the ball and allow him to keep his feet as support arrives.

Rory Scannell starts the phase positioned on the left of the Munster ruck, having initially been pulled back off the ball by Yannick Caballero as he supports Stander’s carry.

Scannell is typically alert as Murray picks from the base of the ruck and snipes back to the right…

… leaving the centre perfectly positioned to burst onto Murray’s right-handed offload and slip through the despairing final tackle attempt of Loic Jacquet to score Munster’s first try.

Murray was the provider for the Irish province’s second try too, sniping off the base of a ruck in similar fashion to take advantage of more poor Castres defence.

Munster have played across towards the left touchline in the 68th minute and are ready to work back to their right with forwards carrying off Murray.

Click here if you cannot view the clip above

Again, Castres’ work to set up their defence around the ruck costs them severely.

Sammy Arnold carries the ball and with Arno Botha, Scannell and Mike Haley all in the vicinity, Munster are well prepared to recycle the ball with a minimum of fuss.

Castres replacement hooker Kevin Firmin arrives at the right-hand side of the Munster ruck and looks set to fill in as the pillar there.

However, Firmin then makes a decision to commit into the ruck, seemingly keen to disrupt Munster’s possession.

Firmin is hoping to shunt Botha and Scannell back onto Murray as he picks up the ball, but it’s a lost cause and deprives Castres of an extra defender on their feet in the line.

To Firmin’s left, the defensive organisation is poor and presents opportunity for Murray.

Christophe Samson [yellow below] is hovering in between being the pillar defender at the very edge of the ruck – having presumably presumed Firmin would fill that role – and the next role in the defensive line, responsible for dealing with any snipes from the opposition scrum-half.

The next player in Castres’ defensive line is Caballero [blue] and as we can see, he’s almost five metres to Samson’s left, leaving a yawning gap for Munster to target.

Caballero’s width off Samson is exactly the kind of opportunity Murray is consistently scanning for, providing him with ample space to go on another of his arcing runs off the base of the ruck.

Murray’s vision picks up the chance as he scoops the ball from the ground and though he briefly shapes to pass to the Munster forwards on his right, he instead accelerates into the space outside Samson.

With Caballero and Babillot hammering up on potential first receiver Billy Holland, Murray is left in a clear one-on-one against the immobile Samson, arcing around him with ease and then drawing in Radosavljevic, who is sweeping behind Castres’ frontline defence.

Click here if you cannot view the clip above

Stander, having initially been part of the possible ball-carrying pod off the ruck, is rewarded for getting upfield to support Murray, with the scrum-half flicking away a one-handed pre-contact pass just before Radosavljevic engages him.

Stander has the momentum to surge beyond Samson and then uses his left hand to fend another poor final tackle attempt from Castres fullback Scott Spedding, sending Munster into an unassailable lead.

The defence from Castres in both instances will have deeply disappointed the Top 14 side, but Murray’s arc-running class was in clear view once again.

Show Munster space around the rucks and Murray will be on hand to dish out the punishment.
