Hurricanes winger Cory Jane usually gets the plaudits for his attacking and finishing skills but it is his behind-the-scenes work on the teams defence which is giving him more satisfaction this year.It has been 221 minutes since the Hurricanes last conceded a try - a first-half effort by Crusaders midfielder Ryan Crotty in their final regular-season match.Since then Chris Boyds team have kept the Sharks scoreless in their quarterfinal and conceded just three penalties goals to the Chiefs in a semifinal win that was built on a huge defensive effort by the Hurricanes on their own line.When the team talk about [defence coach] John [Plumtree] or the media do I get a little bit of satisfaction there too because Im behind the scenes helping him out as well, said Jane.Weve changed our defensive structure from what it was last year and even from game one [this year] to what it is now. Were slowly getting better and better at it.When we dont get it quite right teams can put points on us. But at the moment the boys are working hard for each other and were putting pressure on the opposition but we definitely need to take it up a level this week.Saturdays Super Rugby final in Wellington against the Lions could be a classic case of defence versus attack. The resurgent South Africans have advanced to their first Super Rugby final on the back of an all-out attacking style - spearheaded by first five-eighth Elton Jantjies - which has seen them score 81 tries so far this year.Back-rower Brad Shields knows setting the Lions big forwards on the back foot and slowing down their ball will be crucial if the Hurricanes are to go one better than they did in last years final at Westpac Stadium.They are pretty dangerous when they get fast ball and they get a bit of a roll on, said Shields.Weve got to match it, if not be better than them, to hopefully come out on top and play our game. Carlos Zambrano Cubs Jersey . He was followed closely by David Clarkson, donning red, seconds later. Clarksons actions one night earlier, leaping off the bench in defence of Kessel during a pre-season game against the Buffalo Sabres, will cost him the first 10 games of the regular season.

Kyle Hendricks Cubs Jersey . Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition. But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human. Esteban Gutierrez reckons his final lap in qualifying for the Japanese Grand Prix was compromised by a really slow Lewis Hamilton.Both Haas drivers made it through to Q3 for the first time in the teams debut Formula One season, but while Romain Grosjean qualified eighth, Gutierrez could only post a time 1.9s off pole on his one and only lap in the final session, leaving him to settle with 10th on the grid.The Mexican says he was caught out by a slow-moving Hamilton during his out-lap, which resulted in a sudden drop in tyre temperature.I was too cool on my tyres at the start of the lap because Lewis was really slow in the last part, Gutierrez explained. He had no-one in front but he was really slow and I lost of temperature with my tyres and then starting the lap the tyres werent there and I think I ran wide at Turn 7 and lost time.Lets not use it as an excuse. We have to get used to getting into Q3 and then we will know better how to manage Q3.Gutierrez has come under fire on a number of occasions this season for being too slow to respond to blue flags. At the Hungarian Grand Prix Hamilton made a rude gesture towards Gutierrez after he appeared to ignore blue flags. At the following race in Germany Gutierrez again faced criticism, this time from Daniel Ricciardo, while Mercedes boss Toto Wolff accused the Mexican of interfering with Nico Rosbergs battle for the lead in Singapore.Haas team principal Gueenther Steiner, who has already come to Gutierrezs defence on several occasions this year, questioned Mercedes very odd on-track behaviour at Suzuka.ddddddddddddWe have to ask Toto, because last time Nico was OK with it but Toto wasnt OK so we should maybe ask Toto what he thinks if he held Esteban up this time, because last time Nico didnt have a problem with Esteban but Toto did. So today Toto help Esteban up, Steiner joked.Joking besides they are doing very odd things Mercedes, they go very slow. They go fast first and then they slow down. I think they are very good at controlling some temperature before they get to the start/finish line, and it screws you up because some you have to go slower.Steiner added: I havent studied what time they did because its quite easy to find out with the GPS data how they slow down and all that stuff. Its always the same, if you are behind Mercedes you really dont know what they are going to do.How do you say in English if somebody is hanging around? Loitering, yeah loitering on the track.It is not the first time Mercedes qualifying tactics have been criticised by a Haas driver. At the Monaco Grand Prix, Grosjean stated the German team had ruined his chances of progressing to Q3 by driving slowly and causing s---loads of traffic during Q2. ' ' '
