LONDON -- England edged Ireland 13-10 in a test of breathless intensity at Twickenham to open up the Six Nations into a four-team race at the halfway point on Saturday. Ireland was the last unbeaten side in the championship after France fell to Wales on Friday, and was favoured to end a three-match losing run to England with a side with more than twice as many caps, rampant momentum, and added incentive to celebrate Brian ODriscolls world record-tying 139th test cap. But England, with unexpected daring, overturned a 10-3 deficit to lead again within eight minutes, and more than a quarter of the match to go. In a match marked by gritty, desperate defence, the young English withstood a firestorm finish from Ireland to register what coach Stuart Lancaster called the best win in his tenure, considering the context. "Given the experience of the Ireland team, the form they were in, the quality of the coaching and the players theyve got and some of the relative inexperience we have, Im just so proud of the boys," Lancaster said. "We showed great maturity in closing out the game. It was character, spirit, playing for the shirt. Ireland, fair play to them, threw everything at us, and once we got that lead we just clung on in there." Four teams were tied at the top, with Ireland ahead only on points difference from England, Wales and France. The next decisive matches appeared to be England hosting two-time defending champion Wales in two weeks, and France closing the tournament at home against Ireland. England and Ireland scored one converted try each, with the difference on the scoreboard provided by Englands Owen Farrell, who knocked over two of his three penalty attempts. Jonathan Sexton hit the only penalty shot he had. Irelands scrum was dominant, taking advantage of England tighthead David Wilson playing with basically only a half of rugby in two months. But for all of the ball Ireland had, it couldnt turn pressure into points as Englands defence and discipline was top shelf. England fired the first shot in the thriller. Left wing Jonny May should have crossed in the right corner early but he was slowed by Ireland flanker Peter OMahony and scrumhalf Conor Murray arrived just as May was diving over the line to knock the ball from his grasp. Then Ireland worked a brilliant move, with Sextons crosskick caught by Andrew Trimble on the right wing, but his offload inside to fullback Rob Kearney was bobbled, and he was swallowed by Englishmen. Farrell was lucky soon after not to be sin-binned. His late shoulder charge on Murray conceded only a penalty. Referee Craig Jouberts decision was critical, because Farrell then kicked the only points of the half, a penalty from 50 metres. Farrells second penalty chance hit the upright, and the teams could both be happy where things stood at the break. Just 90 seconds into the second half, Ireland was even happier. Ireland worked lineout ball to the middle of Englands 22, No. 8 Jamie Heaslip stood wide of a ruck and England believed he was spreading it wide. He was waiting for Kearney to scream up inside him, slice clean through and curve towards the posts untouched. Sexton converted for 10-3, and added a penalty in the 49th for 13-3. Then England turned on the pressure, and Ireland was happy to concede three points rather than five. Farrell obliged and the deficit was four. Englands try came from surprising ambition inside its own half. Farrell, under pressure in space, could have kicked the ball for relief but passed to Jack Nowell, who found Mike Brown inside speeding into a gap on halfway. Brown blew through, and scrumhalf Danny Care came up his inside to finish off between the posts. Farrell converted, England had the lead back, and this time kept it. Dalvin Cook Youth Jersey .

Hatcher agreed to terms Thursday, according to a person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the contract had not been signed.LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Kobe Bryant returned to the Los Angeles Lakers lineup against Miami on Tuesday night after his latest prolonged stretch of rest.The Lakers are working on a plan to keep their 36-year-old superstar healthy for the rest of a rough season, but theyre not entirely sure how to do it. Scott intends to decide before every game whether to use Bryant that night, but Kobe likely wont play in back-to-back games again this season.Its uncharted waters for both of us, Scott said.Bryant had skipped three of the Lakers last four games to rest, and he missed three games last month, sitting out six of the Lakers last 11 games overall. Scott plans to rest Bryant again Friday when the Lakers visit Utah, but hopes Bryant will play against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday — all subject to change, of course.Im not going to anticipate anything, Scott said. This is a day-by-day, game-by-game situation.Although Bryant is the NBAs sixth-leading scorer with 23.0 points per game, the accumulated wear of his 19th NBA season has prompted Scott to rest him with increasing frequency. Bryant has been surprised by the overall soreness in his body, gradually realizing the effects of the accumulated wear on a player who regularly suited up with innumerable injuries ranging from jammed fingers to sprained ankles.Scott thinks Bryants famed toughness and his desire to wring more wins out of another bad season compromised his long-term plans for Bryant. Kobe is averaging 34.8 minutes pper game, a number thats higher than Scott intended when the season began.ddddddddddddI was maybe playing him a little too much, Scott said.Bryant is in the first year of a two-year, $48.5 million contract extension signed last season while he was injured. Bryant played just six games in the previous 18 months before this season began after struggling with two major leg injuries.Its a two-year deal, and we want to make sure he can play it out to the best of his ability and to the highest ideal, Scott said.Scott claims the Lakers havent discussed shutting down Bryant for the season, but the coach acknowledged during the pregame shoot-around that such a discussion might occur in the future.For now, Scott will stick to a strict limit of 32 minutes for Bryant.But what if a game goes to overtime?He wont play overtime, Scott said.Bryant is the third-leading scorer in NBA history, a five-time champion and by far the Lakers biggest draw. Fans spend thousands of dollars on tickets with the express interest in seeing Bryant before his career ends — and while Scott is aware of his responsibility to fans, he feels a bigger responsibility to Bryant, his former teammate during Kobes rookie season.Its been a great experience to know him a little more, Scott said. Im getting to know him on a different level. Thats been the fun part. The toughest part of coaching him at this point in his career, you wish you had him six or seven years earlier, when this wasnt an issue. ' ' '
