Israel Folau isnt the only Waratahs player in the Hurricanes defensive cross-hairs as they prepare for a momentous Super Rugby clash in Sydney.Careful analysis of the Sydneysiders has broken down their attacking methods, much of which is directed towards giving space to brilliant Wallabies back Folau.Coach Chris Boyd says while the Hurricanes back their own attacking weapons to give the Waratahs problems on Saturday, he has spent much of his week fine-tuning the defensive structure.If you look at the way the Waratahs play and the positions they put Israel Folau in, theres no doubt he is more dangerous from broken play, Boyd said.Theyre clever the way they put him into positions that they want to, to get the most out of his game.Boyd also pointed to statistics which show flanker Michael Hooper and lock Will Skelton are among the most effective attacking players in their positions in Super Rugby.He says their involvement, often in the backline, and the go-forward they can generate is influential.Theres 3-4 guys who are pretty dominant in their game offensively. Youd be stupid to ignore guys like Hooper and Skelton who do a lot for them.Boyd says he doesnt need to say much to motivate his players, with their season at a potential cross-roads with two rounds remaining.Fourth overall and just three points behind the competition-leading Lions, they could yet match their top-qualifying achievement from last year.Yet if they lose in Sydney, they are under threat to miss the play-offs completely, with the Waratahs potentially the team to snatch a wildcard spot from them.Boyd doesnt want to contemplate playing away to the Crusaders in the final round next week if their season is on the line.He suspects the in-form Waratahs will throw everything at a game which is pivotal in their race for Australian conference honours against co-leaders, the Brumbies.At the end of the day, theyre desperate, were as keen as and were in their patch.Theyve become a handful, particularly at the back end of the season. They had a pretty soft start to the season and theyre chock-full of Wallabies so theyre a tough assignment for us. Зарегистрируйтесь, чтобы увидеть ссылку! .

The world No 1 recently broke the record for the highest average in a televised match and has already won six PDC events this year.Sky Sports commentator Studd casts his memory back to one of Van Gerwens early TV appearances and admits he was not always certain that Mighty Mike would rule the sport... The first time I saw him play on the telly was at the BDO World Masters in October 2006. He was just 17-years-old back then and the PDCs long-serving PR man Dave Allen told me to keep an eye out for him after his appearance in the Holland Open, which he won by beating Colin Osborne in the final. He looked like a teenager, but he played like a master. Rod Studd on Michael van Gerwen Michael, who was a skinny little blonde kid at that time, knocked out a few good players like Darryl Fitton, Mark Webster and he would play Martin Adams in the final. It was immediately evident that this kid was playing like he had been on a professional darts stage for all his life. He looked like a teenager, but he played like a master.Wolfie Adams was 5-2 ahead and Michael went on to beat him, taking Eric Bristows record as the youngest ever winner of the BDO World Masters. I think that really says it all - when you think of the calibre of the man whose record he had taken. Adams would go on to win the World Championship at Lakeside a few months later, so Michael had beaten the best player in the BDO, and in my opinion one of the top players in the world. Micchael van Gerwen set a new highest average in the history of televised darts.dddddddddddd. He ended on 123, breaking the previous record of 118, set by Phil Taylor The following year, Van Gerwen played in a Dutch event featuring BDO and PDC players called the Masters of Darts, and was still only 17 when he defeated Phil Taylor 3-0 in a group match. Michael famously hit a nine-darter in his semi-final against Raymond van Barneveld, in front of a televised audience in Holland, eventually losing 6-4.But then inexplicably this magical talent that he had - suddenly the spark disappeared. It was if he had lost his wand somewhere. Michael had that terrible run for up to four years really, disappeared off the darts radar, and couldnt win a game.I must admit I was a doubting Thomas and thought we had seen two years of brilliance and that it was gone. But the Van Gerwen loyalists, including PDC referee George Noble, Dave Allen, and Richard Ashdown, MC at the Lakeside, all told me how wrong I was. The debate has started. Is Michael van Gerwen the greatest darts player ever? Suddenly he burst back in 2012 and boy those people have not let me forget it either! I hold my hands up, I was totally, utterly wrong and Im absolutely delighted I was wrong. There are few greater pleasures in darts than seeing Michael van Gerwen in full flight. Watch Michael van Gerwen return to action in the Premier League tonight, from 7pm on Sky Sports 1.  Or watch live for £6.99 without a contract, on NOW TV.
