For a man who just skippered the Brumbies to the Super Rugby finals, Christian Lealiifano was surprisingly downbeat.Feeling under the weather, with a cut above his right eye and a sore shoulder, the usually jovial playmaker struggled to crack a smile after Saturdays 24-10 win over the Western Force to claim Australian conference honours.He was less than impressed with his sides showing in what was largely an uninspiring display at GIO Stadium against the countrys worst-ranked team.While it was enough to get them to a fourth straight playoffs, Lealiifano wasnt ready to celebrate.Im one of the more disappointed ones, the co-captain said.I was disappointed with the errors we made and just couldnt really build any momentum which was frustrating.I think our attack got a bit lost at times there, and as a game caller and controller I was disappointed to not boss the boys around enough.The Brumbies only needed one point from the match to kick the NSW Waratahs - who lost to the Blues on Friday but claimed a bonus point - out of the finals race and secure Australias sole ticket to the playoffs.They will face last years champions the Highlanders at home on Friday.But it was an uninspiring display that ended with a scoreless second-half and a disappointed coach.You have your ups and downs in the tournament, and certainly the second half was a half that were not particularly happy with, but its all irrelevant now, Larkham said.Its about putting it behind you and taking the things you can take out of it and move onto the next job.Lealiifano didnt believe complacency was the issue against the Force, who applied plenty of defensive pressure - which the Brumbies handled well.We came in with a clear focus and a plan with the way we wanted to play, and I guess thats whats most disappointing - that we didnt really execute what we wanted to, he said.I dont think its going to hurt us too much but its a good learn for us heading into this part of the season, to be able to adapt in those situations.?After we get over this disappointment, I think well come in on Monday buzzing that weve got an opportunity to push forward in this comp.The 28-year-old had been sick all week but said not enough to keep out him out from Fridays quarter-final.Superstar Wallabies flanker David Pocock is on track to return from a fractured eye socket, which has sidelined him for almost six weeks.Larkham will wait until he gets cleared by the club doctor before making a call on his selection.Theres a time period from the initial injury that weve had to wait for, so depending on what that is we will make the decision internally and then let you know on Wednesday, he said.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Gone was the all-offense, all-action play that turned the last two gold-medal games into classics.To get by Spain again, the U.S. Olympic mens basketball team would have to win ugly, so unusual its practically un-American.It was just a real different game today, coach Mike Krzyzewski said.Same result, though.The U.S. advanced to its third straight gold-medal game win an 82-76 victory Friday, another tight matchup between the teams that met in the last two championship games.Klay Thompson scored 22 points for the Americans, who will play Serbia on Sunday for their third consecutive Olympic title. Serbia beat Australia 87-61 in the second semifinal.This is where we wanted to be, Kevin Durant said. We talked about it all summer and to be here for the final game, to win the gold, for all the marbles, we like our chances.The Americans pulled away to win 118-107 in 2008 and held on for a 107-100 victory in London, but the defenses made their mark in this one. The U.S. was just good enough again against Spain, with bodies falling more than shots and several technical fouls keeping the teams from finding an offensive flow.It certainly wasnt pretty, but Olympic gold never loses its luster.Its an amazing feeling now, center DeAndre Jordan said. We really want to accomplish this.It was the lowest-scoring game for the Americans in the Olympics since the 2004 semifinals, when they managed 81 in a loss to Argentina.But Jordan made his presence felt in the middle with 16 rebounds and four blocked shots to go with his nine points.Durant added 14 points on the day he moved past LeBron James into second place on the U.S. Olympic career scoring list. Kyrie Irving had 13 for the U.S.Pau Gasol scored 23 points for Spain, which made it tough on the Americans for the third straight Olympics, but again had to settle for coming close against the worlds No. 1 team.I think the key of the game was their defense, Spain coach Sergio Scariolo said. Their athleticism, their size, they made our offense get difficult during most of the possessions.Gasol said after he believed Spain missed its best chance to beat the U.S.They are not playing as well as other times theyve played, but they are still a very talented team individually, Gasol said. I just (feel) like if we had been a little sharper with our shots, if we would have moved the ball a little better, if we would have boxed out more, and make it a two- or three-possession game, then youre talking about a whole different story.ddddddddddddSpain shot just 39 percent and couldnt get any consistent option other than Gasol, who played with a wrap covering his sore right calf.It was the kind of defense the Americans thought they could play but hadnt much in the tournament. Serbia and France both surpassed 90 points against them and Australia scored 88, as the team with 10 Olympic newcomers took longer than hoped in grasping international offenses.This time they contained a team that was as explosive as themselves over the last four games, as Spain had averaged 97.3 points and won by more than 25 per game after dropping its first two in Brazil.The Americans finally built a comfortable lead when they opened the fourth quarter with six straight points to go ahead 72-57. But Spain was able to keep the gap from getting any bigger and chipped away at it in the final minutes, the margin ending up smaller than in the previous matchups.Spain came to the Olympics an aging team without one of its top players, Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol, who couldnt make it back from a broken right foot sustained during the season. But the Spanish, as they had in the previous two Olympics, found their stride just in time to run into the Americans.Thompson scored 17 in the first half, including a 3-pointer with 26 seconds left that made it 45-39 at the break.Both teams were called for multiple technical fouls in the tense first half. One of them, on Durant, gave him a third foul, as technicals also count as personal fouls in international play. Nikola Mirotic then picked up a personal and technical on the same play later in the period, sending him to the bench with four after he led Spain with 23 points in its quarterfinal rout of France.The Americans were far off their usual offensive play, shooting only 42 percent for the game and complaining about a wet ball in the first half. But they grabbed 21 offensive rebounds in their 24 straight Olympic victory.Now they need one more to stay on top.You want to get there, two-time gold medalist Carmelo Anthony said. You want to have that feeling.---Follow Brian Mahoney on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/Briancmahoney Jerseys NFL Cheap Wholesale NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap NFL Jerseys China Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap ' ' '
