Mark McCall says elite clubs directors of rugby want co-operation and not a fight with England and Premiership Rugby. Isaiah Thomas Jersey . The Saracens boss and his Premiership counterparts will get together on Thursday for a meeting at which England coach Eddie Jones will be present.The subject of Englands recent training camp, which left Sam Jones, Anthony Watson and Jack Nowell injured and facing long lay-offs, will be up for discussion. Wasps Jones broke his leg in a judo exercise and is out for five months, ruling him out of the autumn internationals and, potentially, his clubs entire Champions Cup campaign. Watch NOW TV Watch Sky Sports for just ?ï¿¡6.99. No contract. But Wasps director of rugby Dai Jones wants unity between clubs and country, and McCall said: I agree - this shouldnt be a fight. It doesnt have to be a fight.The best thing for both parties is for it to be a real co-operative relationship and there is no reason why it wont be. Weve had very good co-operation with England and Eddie so far and I dont see that changing.My point was people who make these decisions really dont understand performance needs. They could have asked a few directors of rugby whether they thought it was okay to have the camp 10 days before [European fixtures].Jones absence leaves England short of openside flanker options, with James Haskell, Jack Clifford and MikeWilliams missing, raising the possibility Maro Itoje will be asked to play there. Wasps Sam Jones suffered a broken leg during Englands training camp Maro is a very destructive player and I think he would do a great job, his Saracens boss McCall said. For someone who is as tall as he is, Maros outstanding over the ball. He gets as many turn-overs as anybody in the Premiership.When its not there to get over the ball, Maro is very good at making a mess of opposition attacking breakdowns.He carries the ball well, he reads the game well and hes another line-out option in the back-row. It would make Englands line-out pretty formidable to have a seven like that.You can watch Liverpool v Man Utd, plus Englands tour of Bangladesh and the British Masters on Sky Sports.

Kelly, who plays No. 8 at the back of the scrum, is captain of the Canadian womens team. Marcus Thornton Jersey . Showing more spark after not taking enough challenging shots on goal in their 1-0 loss Friday night, the Bruins had 18 shots in the first period after managing just 25 in the entire opener. Luke Glendening cut Bostons lead to 2-1 at 13:20 of the second period before Milan Lucic scored late in the second and Zdeno Chara added a power-play goal early in the third.Here yesterday, it was thumbs down to the lack of solid candidates for Hart Trophy consideration at the NHL seasons halfway mark. Well, the story is very different if we make a list of coaches who might win the Jack Adams Award should their teams continue to play well. If the Nashville Predators can finish first overall, or win the Central Division, or come close to doing one or the other, Peter Laviolette would seem a clear-cut coach of the year favourite. But the other contenders are many. In no particular order, I would nominate Jon Cooper, Tampa Bay; Mike Johnston, Pittsburgh; Jack Capuano, NY Islanders; Barry Trotz, Washington; Bob Hartley, Calgary; Willie Desjardins, Vancouver; Paul Maurice, Winnipeg, and Gerard Gallant, Florida. This leaves out Joel Quenneville, Chicago; Bruce Boudreau, Anaheim; Ken Hitchcock, St. Louis; Michel Therrien, Montreal; Mike Babcock, Detroit; and Alain Vigneault, NY Rangers. Theyre doing the good work you expect them to do and have seen them do in the past. That shouldnt disqualify them from a vote that determines the best coaching joob of the current season, but meeting expectations isnt what the Adams Award is about. Duane Causwell Jersey. The coach of the year is usually the one who best exceeds expectations. So far, Laviolette has done that. As always, it is necessary to point out that votes for the Adams Award are often followed at some point by pink slips. Two of the last four winners--Paul MacLean and Dan Bylsma--are looking for work. Thumbs down to the recently-unveiled NHL All-Star jerseys that will be worn by Zemgus Girgensons and friends in Columbus later this month. I’m at a loss to describe what you can see and I don’t know a name for “that” colour, but it’s enough to say that if there’s a good reason to throw a jersey onto the ice, and I am in stated opposition to that practice, and to media coverage of same, getting rid of one of these would make some sense. Acquiring one in the first place wouldn’t. The NHL says the jersey design and its colours were inspired by the fact none of the 30 NHL teams wears anything similar. Let me close by saying: There’s a reason for that. ' ' '
