New Zealand Maori celebrate centenary with victory over Ireland

• Jonathan Sexton’s late penalty miss condemns Irish to defeat • Maoris celebrate ‘awesome’ victory The replacement fly-half Willie Ripia slotted a late penalty to help New Zealand Maori register a tight 31-28 victory over Ireland in their international match in Rotorua on Friday. The Ireland fly-half Jonathan Sexton, who had been flawless in kicking seven penalties and a conversion, had an opportunity to level the match with five minutes remaining but pushed his penalty attempt wide to the right for his only miss of the game. The victory is the latest against international sides for the Maori, who have also beaten England, Argentina, Scotland, Fiji, and the British and Irish Lions since the game went professional. The match is part of a series to commemorate the centenary of the formation of the first official Maori rugby team in New Zealand. They will also play England in Napier next Wednesday. “It’s awesome, the boys really dug in for 80 minutes and showed their character towards the end there,” the Maori captain, Liam Messam, said in a televised interview. “It’s 100 years and I think we celebrated it the right way.” The Maori jumped to an early 15-0 lead as winger Hosea Gear and centre Dwayne Sweeney both scored tries, while Luke McAlister slotted a conversion and penalty. The visitors, however, gradually clawed back into the game by patiently building phases that drew a stream of penalties, as Sexton slotted all six of his shots at goal to ensure the sides went into the break locked at 18-18. Ireland continued to build on their momentum with centre Paddy Wallace scoring a try straight from the restart, with Sexton converting to give Ireland a 25-18 lead. The Maori managed to stem the flow with McAlister kicking a long-range penalty to cut the deficit to three points, before replacement flanker Karl Lowe finished off a sweeping move that was started by winger Sean Maitland from inside his own half. Willie Ripia converted Lowe’s try before Sexton slotted his seventh penalty to tie the game at 28-28 with 15 minutes left. Ripia gave the Maori the lead before Sexton missed his relatively easy shot at goal and the home side held out. “We gave ourselves a real mountain to climb,” The Ireland captain, Geordan Murphy, said. “There are some positives we can take but also plenty to work on. Overall it’s a disappointment … we wanted to win.” Ireland rugby union team Rugby union guardian.co.uk

World Cup 2010: I am disgusted, says France’s captain Patrice Evra | Paul Wilson

With France now needing a miracle against South Africa, their captain admitted they took a big punch from Mexico and never saw it coming Thierry Henry walked out of the Peter Mokaba stadium in Polokwane without saying a word to anyone after watching the 2-0 defeat to Mexico as a non-playing substitute. Manchester United’s Patrice Evra, as France captain, did have something to say, but he gave the distinct impression a whole lot more would be said when this sorry World Cup campaign is finally over. Barring a miracle, and Evra specifically said he is not expecting one, that will be in only four days’ time. “I’m still in shock after such a loss, we have behaved like a small football nation,” Evra said. “We have received a big punch and I couldn’t see it coming. The first goal was very painful but I thought we would be able to react, but we were not able to. We will talk about it during the following days. There is a lot to say but I’m not going to say it in public yet. I am disgusted. We have to beat South Africa now, but as for the qualification, I don’t believe in miracles. We are not a great team.” France always seem to be at one end or the other of the World Cup spectrum, with little in between. After winning the event in their own country in 1998 they were a major disappointment in South Korea-Japan 2002, leaving the tournament early, then somewhat against expectation they reached the final in Germany four years ago, where they could conceivably have beaten Italy but for Zinedine Zidane’s aberration against Marco Materazzi. Reaching the final in 2006 silenced some of Raymond Domenech’s many doubters, effectively giving the France coach a stay of execution until the next tournament, though after the manner in which Les Bleus surrendered against Mexico and the likelihood of another early departure, it appears he has little room left for argument. After leaving Henry on the bench for the whole 90 minutes, witnessing another supine display from Nicolas Anelka and wholly ineffective ones from Franck Ribery and Florent Malouda, Domenech has some questions to answer. So, for that matter, has Evra, whose part in the decisive penalty that clinched Mexico’s win was not the one of a captain willing to fight for every inch. Evra more or less waved Pablo Barrera past on his way to the penalty area, where he was clumsily fouled by Eric Abidal, the whole episode suggesting a tired and demotivated team. For that, Domenech will ultimately have to answer. “For the moment I’m searching for words,” the coach said, wearing his habitual puzzled expression. That makes a change from searching the stars – he freely admits astrology has informed some of his decisions in the past – and a disappointed nation will be hoping the dictionary might contain more sense. “We still have a match to play and there is an infinitesimally small chance we can go through. I do reproach myself, yes. But that’s my own business. Perhaps we didn’t have quite the punch we needed but there was definitely a team playing, not just a collection of individuals. Initially we were fairly calm.” France World Cup 2010 Group A Mexico Thierry Henry Paul Wilson guardian.co.uk

Tim Horan blasts Martin Johnson’s decision to leave out Jonny Wilkinson

• Australian World Cup-winner bemused by England’s selection • Johnson insists Wilkinson ‘will play a part in the game’ The former Australia centre Tim Horan has warned England’s manager, Martin Johnson, he will live to regret not selecting Jonny Wilkinson for tomorrow’s Test in Sydney. Wilkinson will be on the bench as England return to the scene of their Rugby World Cup triumph, with Toby Flood to start at fly-half and Shontayne Hape retained at inside centre. Horan described Johnson’s selections as “confusing” and questioned why Wilkinson was even brought on the tour if England had not planned to start with him. “I don’t know what Martin Johnson is trying to achieve in leaving Jonny Wilkinson on the bench again,” Horan wrote in the Sydney Morning Herald . “Johnson should have picked the man who broke Australian hearts in the 2003 World Cup final and it’s a decision he’s likely to regret. “Wilkinson has the ability to ignite this England backline. He has a presence and a passing game that would lift them for sure, as well as the ability to provide field position via his boot and capitalise on those territory gains by accumulating points. “Johnson’s decision, and those he’s made earlier on this tour, are confusing. Jonny hasn’t played in either touring match against the Australian Barbarians and he got five minutes in the first Test last weekend. What was the point in even bringing him out? If they were going to put him in cotton wool, or simply overlook him, then England might as well have left him at home.” The Wallabies had expected Wilkinson to start in both Tests but Johnson has been keen to run the rule over Hape at inside centre and to increase Flood’s experience. Wilkinson lost his place after a disappointing Six Nations campaign and at one stage Johnson told the Australian media to “get over” their fixation with 2003. But Horan, man of the tournament in the Wallabies’ 1999 World Cup triumph, would have based his selection on Wilkinson’s form for Toulon and started him alongside Flood. “I don’t base my opinion on what Jonny did seven years ago,” said Horan. “Shontayne Hape will wear the 12 jersey alongside Flood. This is the same player who I think made three tackles in the first Test, missed a crucial one when Luke Burgess put Quade Cooper across for a try and, from memory, ran the ball once. It’s fair to say he didn’t show a lot. So if you were the England coach, wouldn’t you pick Wilkinson ahead of a rookie like Shontayne Hape?” Johnson however dismissed Horan’s comments and said: “It is a 22-man game isn’t it? All the guys came off the bench last week and they probably will again this week. We are lucky to have two guys there [at fly-half]. “Toby is getting some valuable experience down here and Jonny is Jonny – we know how consistently he plays and we are glad to have him around. I am sure he will play a part in the game.” England rugby union team Martin Johnson Jonny Wilkinson Australia rugby union team Rugby union guardian.co.uk

World Cup players in Durban told to keep off the grass

• Holland and Japan forced to train in nearby township • Surface at stadium needs protection after heavy rain Holland and Japan had their traditional eve-of-match training sessions moved from the Moses Mabhida stadium on Friday because of concerns about the playing surface. The teams, who meet in their second Group E game on Saturday, were forced to train at the Princess Magogo Stadium in Kwamashu Township rather than at the new 62,000-seat area in the centre of Durban. “We had a heavy rainstorm last night and we’re just taking care of the pitch,” the Durban venue manager, Bongi Hlope, told Reuters. “We have three excellent training pitches around the city and so we’re using them to preserve the surface at the stadium. This will probably be the case for the remaining first-round games and then we’ll probably revert to the original plan from the round of 16.” The Moses Mabhida stadium will also host the Nigeria v South Korea and Brazil v Portugal group games, one round of 16 tie and a semi-final. The arena has hosted two matches so far, Germany’s 4-0 demolition of Australia and Switzerland’s 1-0 upset of pre-tournament favourites Spain.
