New Zealand have retained the Bledisloe Cup for yet another year with a 29-9 victory over Australia in Wellington. http://www.giantsrookiestore.com/Giants-Davis-Webb-Jersey/ .The Wallabies turned in an improved showing after their 42-8 drubbing in Sydney, but they never seriously threatened the world champions line and New Zealand were untroubled in lifting the silverware for the 14th year in succession.Australia scored through two penalties from Bernard Foley and a 52-metre goal from Reece Hodge, who was thrown into the mix earlier than expected when veteran winger Adam Ashley-Cooper went off with concussion in the 17th minute.New Zealand, meanwhile, took what opportunities fell their way in a stop-start affair, the whistle of referee Romain Poite a constant presence throughout the 80 minutes. A first-half double to Israel Dagg gave the hosts a 15-9 advantage at the break before Julian Savea and Sam Cane crossed for tries in the second half.On the scoreboard, it looks like were going pretty easy but I dont think anyone would say it was easy out there tonight, New Zealand coach Steve Hansen said.The skill level of our guys tonight was really good under extreme pressure at times.At the moment, I think thats probably where weve got a little bit of an edge.I dont want to sit here and bag Australia. Theyre one of our best friends.The Wallabies began with clear intent in front of the sold-out crowd of 35,372 spectators at a windswept Westpac Stadium, where they have not won for 16 years, but they still fell down in key areas, coughing up three lineouts and struggling to contain the slick, polished world champions -- missing 27 tackles to six.The All Blacks werent as clinical as in Sydney but still dominated possession and territory, and played all the rugby.Australia went closest to scoring when Nick Phipps crossed in the dying moments - as he had done the week before -- but this time he lost control of the ball as he tried to touch down.Australias losing streak under Michael Cheika now stands at six matches - one short of the seven defeats in 2005 that eventually led to the sacking of Eddie Jones.Two-Test lock Adam Coleman was also yellow-carded just before the interval for a late shoulder charge on Ben Smith.While that incident wont have impressed Cheika, the Wallabies coach was happy with the resolve his team showed after last weeks deplorable display.The players responded much better, he said.I was more pleased with the performance this week in that regard and thats something weve got to build on and bring to every game.(But) we cant wait until were down on one knee before we bring it. http://www.giantsrookiestore.com/Giants-Sterling-Shepard-Jersey/ . The Clippers were angry about blowing a big lead; the Kings didnt like being in that kind of hole and nearly digging themselves out only to lose. http://www.giantsrookiestore.com/Giants-Kerry-Wynn-Jersey/ . Numbers Game looks into the Canadiens securing the services of Thomas Vanek in a trade with the New York Islanders. The Canadiens Get: LW Thomas Vanek and a conditional fifth-round pick. http://www.giantsrookiestore.com/Giants-Roger-Lewis-Jersey/ . -- The Portland Timbers and Real Salt Lake played to a 0-0 tie Saturday night that left the top of the Western Conference standings unchanged. SALT LAKE CITY -- Hours after coach Kyle Whittingham said No. 24 Utah didnt sustain any season-ending injuries in its loss to California, the Utes found out that three-year starting center J.J. Dielman will miss the rest of the season because of a lower leg injury.Whittingham said several players were having MRIs on Monday to determine the severity of their injuries. Dielman clearly got bad news, as the school said he was out in a release Monday afternoon. Dielman joins former starting defensive end Kylie Fitts and tight end Siale Fakailoatonga on the sideline for the rest of the season.Utah is coming off its first loss, but it might have bigger problems in its quest for a Pac-12 title. The Utes have been ravaged by injuries at receiver, offensive line, running back, defensive line and in the secondary.Id be here for a half-hour if we start talking about all the injuries, Whittingham said.Former walk-on Lo Falemaka is next in line on the depth chart, but Utah did not make the junior available to media Monday. He had a slow start, with a pair of bad plays when he entered the game last week, but quarterback Troy Williams said they laughed it off.He told me, Hey, man, I just had to get my jitters out real quick, Williams said. I told him I understand fully. We have a great team, great guys all around. Next guy just has to step up and take advantage of his opportunity.Utah lost its No. 1 receiver,?Tim Patrick, starting cornerback Reggie Porter and Dielman during Saturdays game. Patrick said he expects to play this week.Whittingham and Utah give little details about injuries, so Porters status is unknown. Whittingham did mention that receiver Kyle Fulks had to leave the game last week, and both running back Troy McCormick and receiver Tyrone Smith are banged up.First-team All-Pac-12 defensive lineman?Lowell Lotulelei missed the game against Cal after suffering a shoulder injury against USC. http://www.giantsrookiestore.com/Giants-Weston-Richburg-Jersey/. Starting slot receiver Cory Butler-Byrd didnt travel to California, and Whittingham said it was a physical issue. The coach hopes he can play against Arizona.Theres about a dozen guys whos in that category, Whittingham said.Sophomore receiver Raelon Singleton had his best game, with career highs in receptions (seven) and yards (98) as the No. 1 option in the pass game after Patrick went down. Williams said he is confident in all his receivers, but Patrick is No. 32 in the country with 429 receiving yards and tied for No. 12 with five touchdown catches. The Utes didnt have a receiver who caught five touchdowns in all of 2015.Utah already lost senior running back Joe Williams to retirement due to lingering injuries. Whittingham announced that sophomore Armand Shyne has been promoted to starting running back over Zach Moss after he rushed for 99 yards and two touchdowns against Cal.The Utes (4-1, 1-1 Pac-12) arent panicking, despite the plethora of injuries. The goal of winning the conference title is still attainable, as No. 21 Colorado (4-1, 2-1) is the lone Pac-12 South team without a conference loss. The Buffaloes host Utah in the regular-season finale. Whittingham doesnt believe anyone in the conference will go undefeated and said a two-loss team will likely win the title.Its easy to let yourself fall into that, like, Why us? Utah safety Chase Hansen said. But then you realize everyones banged up. You look at Arizona, and they have the same thing going on with them.Honestly, it feels like it happens every year. So theres no point in being surprised. You just have got to be ready. Next guy up. ... No excuses, thats a team motto.
