The Highlanders have finished the Super Rugby regular season in second place in the New Zealand conference after a pulsating 25-15 win over previous leaders the Chiefs.The result means the defending champions, who have been in Port Elizabeth and Buenos Aires over the previous two weekends, will avoid another long-haul trip next week.They had faced the prospect of having to return to South Africa, but are set to travel across the Tasman in the first round of the playoffs.Their win in Dunedin on Saturday night also means the Hurricanes, who beat the Crusaders 35-10 with a bonus point earlier in the day, top the New Zealand conference and will host a quarter-final.The Highlanders victory extended their winning streak over the Chiefs to six matches.The intense and physical contest ended in a touch a controversy with five-eighth Lima Sopoagas try that effectively sealed the win seven minutes to go.The ball had gone loose from centre Matt Faddes hands, but it was ruled to have been knocked from his grasp by the tackler, before Sopoaga swooped.The Chiefs would have finished as the NZ conference leaders had they won and they struck first through winger Toni Pulu.They were then called on to do plenty of defence and they scrambled well before winger Waisake Naholo came up with a piece of magic.Naholo had earlier touched down under the crossbar only to called back for obstruction.But with half an hour gone and the Highlanders having pounded away for 15 phases, the All Blacks flyer produced a spectacular a one-handed diving put-down in the corner.Sopoaga missed the sideline conversion and the Highlanders went into halftime trailing 7-5.The two sides traded penalties early in the second half to maintain the two-point margin.Chiefs flanker Tom Sanders was then yellow-carded for a lifting tackle on opposition fullback Ben Smith and the Highlanders took advantage.Sopoaga added another penalty before flanker Dan Pryor scored from a brilliant counter-attack that involved several pairs of hands.Back to 15 players, the Chiefs struck back with a try to loose forward Lachlan Boshier.Hakeem Butler Womens Jersey . -- Running backs Darren McFadden and Rashad Jennings were back at practice for the Oakland Raiders on Wednesday despite being hampered by hamstring injuries.

Sam Allardyce was forced out in disgrace after one game in charge of the national team.Having taken 25 years to reach the pinnacle of English soccer management, Allardyce was toppled after only 67 days by his hubris and indiscretions involving undercover journalists posing as businessmen.The English Football Association decided Tuesday, within 24 hours of a Daily Telegraph sting being published, that the 61-year-old Allardyce lacked the integrity to hold one of the most prestigious jobs in the game.Allardyce had a 100 percent record -- winning his only game against Slovakia earlier this month -- but will go down as the England manager with the shortest tenure.Even before taking charge of his first game, Allardyce was inadvertently preparing the ground for his downfall with his loose talk in a London hotel in August to the investigative reporters.A covert video showed Allardyce appearing to offer advice to fictitious businessmen on how to sidestep an outlawed player transfer practice and also to negotiate a 400,000-pound ($519,000) public-speaking contract to top up an annual England salary of 3 million pounds ($4 million).A further video showed Allardyce mocking predecessor Roy Hodgson, who was fired after Englands humiliating loss to tiny Iceland at the European Championship in June, questioning the FAs financial strategy and talking dismissively about the organizations president, Prince William.The FA acted swiftly to publication of the story, holding emergency talks with Allardyce in London before announcing the termination of his two-year contract on Tuesday evening.In light of the media allegations that weve seen, FA chief executive Martin Glenn said, weve concluded -- and Sams agreed -- that his behavior has been inappropriate and frankly not what is expected of an England manager.And, as guardians of the game, Glenn insisted that the same rules and high standards of conduct had to apply to everyone in English soccer.That consistency, that trust that people have in us to behave in the appropriate manner, is core to what any football association is about, Glenn said. Its a painful decision because we thought he was a great manager, but its the right decision if we are to protect the integrity of The FA.One of Allardyces last official duties as England manager was participating in the Football Writers Association golf day on Monday. It appears Allardyce was playing golf with journalists when the Telegraph first put questions to the manager and his representatives about the investigation.Now Allardyce is left to reflectt on losing his dream job.ddddddddddddIt was a great honor for me to be appointed back in July and I am deeply disappointed at this outcome, said Allardyce, who was never called up by England during his playing career. Although it was made clear during the recorded conversations that any proposed arrangements would need the FAs full approval, I recognize I made some comments which have caused embarrassment.England is not rushing to replace Allardyce. Gareth Southgate, the manager of Englands under-21 side, will take charge of the senior teams next four matches -- against Malta, Slovenia, Scotland and Spain -- across October and November. That means there is less urgency for the FA to hire a new manager with the following game not until March 2017 when England hosts Lithuania in its fifth World Cup qualifier.The Telegraph published its investigation in its Tuesday edition, under the front-page headline: England manager for sale.Allardyce met people he reportedly thought were representatives of an Asian firm. In a grainy video, he is recorded as saying it was not a problem to circumvent FA rules that stop third parties from owning the economic rights of players. FIFA has banned third-party ownership as a threat to the games integrity because investors force transfers to make a profit.You can still get around it, the former Sunderland and West Ham manager said in the recording. I mean obviously the big moneys here.Allardyce told the undercover reporters that Hodgson sent players all to sleep. Allardyce also mimicked Hodgsons speech impediment.Only last week Allardyce was eagerly taking pictures on his phone of the European Championship trophy at the London launch of the branding for the Euro 2020 semifinals and final which are being staged at Wembley Stadium. In the recordings, Allardyce questioned why Prince William was absent from the launch.Hes our ambassador for the Football Association, so it would have been nice if hed have turned up but he obviously had more, much busier things on, Allardyce said.The cost of Wembley Stadium, which hosts England home games, was also a target for Allardyce in the recordings.They stupidly spent 870 million pounds on Wembley, so theyre still paying that debt off, Allardyce said of the FA. Theyre all about making money arent they? You know the FAs the richest football association in the world? Well, I shouldnt say that.Allardyce issued a sincere and wholehearted apology to the FA, but it wasnt enough to save one of the most high-profile jobs in world sport. ' ' '
