South Africas backroom staff believe Irelands stunning win over New Zealand in Chicago offers a blueprint for victory over England at Twickenham on Saturday.Stitched Belgium Soccer Jerseys .Springboks forwards coach Matt Proudfoot hailed Ireland a damn good side in the wake of their 40-29 win over the All Blacks at Soldier Field.Ireland claimed their maiden triumph over New Zealand in 111 years -- and now Proudfoot wants South Africa to harness that as motivation ahead of facing England this weekend.The Springboks are in turmoil after four defeats in six in a lacklustre Rugby Championship, while England are targeting a perfect run of wins in 2016.Asked if Ireland proved anyone is beatable by ending New Zealands record 18-match winning streak, Proudfoot replied: Correct, and I think the key there is the Irish had a very sound plan and executed it very well.Their line-speed was tremendous and they took the All Blacks on where the All Blacks wanted to play, and nullified them as well.I thought the kicking game of the half-backs was exceptional as well, and that forced the All Blacks to play from very deep.And just the intensity of the Irish side is what youve got to have in Test match rugby.You hear every week weve got to turn up, its a common cliche thrown about but that is the epitome of Test match rugby.If you turn up with that intensity thats right there, then yes you can beat anybody.Bryan Habana shook off any fitness doubts ahead of the England clash by taking full part in Tuesdays training session. Head coach Eddie Jones has transformed England since taking over following their pool-stage World Cup exit, leading his side to a maiden series victory in Australia in June.England boast a 10-match winning run, with nine of those under Jones stewardship. A clean sweep across the four autumn internationals would equal Englands all-time winning streak, recorded under Sir Clive Woodward in 2003.Ireland ended New Zealands tier-one winning record at 18 victories with that superb triumph in the United States Field -- but Proudfoot insisted the Springboks were not surprised by the result.Ireland claimed their first-ever win over South Africa in June, and made their mark on their hosts despite eventually slipping to a 2-1 series defeat.Any competitions great for a game. It doesnt matter what sport youre talking about, Proudfoot said.I dont think we were surprised.We know how tough they were in June, particularly around their defensive alignment, their defensive breakdown and how they tend to smother you.We knew how difficult it was to crack them. By hook or crook we got away with it in June -- being at home, being at altitude maybe gave us a bit of an advantage but we knew how tough they were.So were not surprised. I listened to the comments of [All Blacks head coach] Steve Hansen afterwards and I echo them. He was complimentary of what Ireland are doing, and thats what you get when you get that alignment.If youve got 23 players who are all seeing the same picture on the field and executing that, thats when you get a great result.And thats what the Irish did.So theyve been setting up for that victory for a long time and planning for it and processing for it. And theyre a damn good side. Wholesale Belgium National Mens Jerseys. Neymar curled home a free kick from just outside the area to put the 2014 World Cup host ahead in the 44th minute. Three minutes after the break, a simple through pass from Paulinho freed Oscar and the Chelsea star rounded goalkeeper Jung Sung-ryong to extend Brazils lead. Cheap Belgium Jerseys . Bjorn, who had a 36-hole total of 8-under 134, made a testing six-foot putt to save par on the 16th and a birdie on the 17th before bogeying the final hole after a misjudged approach shot. American Kevin Streelman was in second place after shooting a 69. http:///...mans-belgium-jersey/ . -- Three close looks at the bucket, three misses. LONDON -- Manchester United hired Jose Mourinho and signed Zlatan Ibrahimovic to bring a winning mentality and trophies to a fallen English giant.Barely a month at United and theyve already made their mark.Ibrahimovic headed in an 83rd-minute winner on Sunday as United beat Leicester 2-1 in the Community Shield -- the traditional curtain-raiser to the English season -- and give Mourinho his first piece of silverware as Old Trafford.Thats what its all about, winning trophies, Ibrahimovic said. This is why I came. Hopefully I can win much more than this.On the day United moved closer to signing Paul Pogba in potentially a world-record transfer, its most high-profile offseason signing so far made an immediate impact, despite having a quiet game by his high standards at Wembley Stadium.Ibrahimovic was lurking at the back post when Antonio Valencia floated over a cross from the right wing. Beating Wes Morgan in the air, Ibrahimovic planted a downward header against the post and the ball rebounded over the line.The Community Shield is nothing more than a friendly match between the winners of last seasons Premier League (Leicester) and FA Cup (United), but both teams treated it seriously and Ibrahimovic proudly hailed it as the 31st title of his trophy-filled career.Something big is going on with our team, Ibrahimovic said, before walking with his teammates up the Wembley steps to lift the shield to explosions of ticker-tape.Eleven weeks after scoring an extra-time winner for United in the FA Cup final at Wembley, Jesse Lingard returned to the stadium to put his team ahead in the 32nd minute with a solo goal that started 45 meters out. He slalomeed past both of Leicesters center backs, Robert Huth and Morgan, darted past Danny Simpson and slid a finish under goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel. Laurent Ciman Belgium Jersey. Jamie Vardy equalized for the league champions in the 52nd, pouncing on a short back pass from Marouane Fellaini, who had done well initially to track back and break up play. However, his pass to goalkeeper David de Gea was underhit, allowing the alert Vardy to round De Gea and shoot in left-footed from an acute angle.Mourinho blamed Fellainis mistake on the slowness of the Wembley field.Ahmed Musa, Leicesters club-record signing this offseason, was brought on at halftime and his pace, allied to Vardys, worried United. Eric Bailly, one of Uniteds three signings so far, lost his composure after a strong first half and was booked for fouls on Musa and Vardy.Musa missed a great chance -- a header from five meters out -- before Ibrahimovics goal.In injury time, Mourinho took off Juan Mata, who had only been on the field 30 minutes as a substitute. Mata, who was sold to United by Mourinho when the coach was at Chelsea, looked unhappy at a decision that was Mourinho at his ruthless best.Victory was all that mattered to the Portuguese coach, who hopes to soon be welcoming Pogba to Old Trafford after United announced earlier Sunday that the Juventus midfielder was set for a medical examination.Its an important victory but we have lots of work to do, Mourinho said. It was a positive performance for this moment of the season. Its always important to start with a trophy. NFL Jerseys ChinaCheap NFL Gear China NFL Jerseys White Cheap NFL Autographed Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Throwback China NFL Jerseys China NFL Jerseys White ' ' '
