Despite not having tasted defeat to an English or Great Britain side for over a decade, Kangaroos prop Matt Scott admits the team are expecting the toughest match of their Four Nations campaign on Sunday (0100 Monday AEDT).With two Queensland greats in Mal Meninga and Wayne Bennett in opposite coaching boxes, this game has been eagerly anticipated ever since Meningas controversial comments about his former coach in a newspaper column earlier this month.Bennetts been under fire from the English media following their teams defeat to New Zealand two weeks ago followed by two taciturn post-match TV interviews conducted by the veteran coach.Meningas side have had no such issues with the coachs relaxed approach and two relatively comfortable wins over Scotland and New Zealand leading to a happy camp.Scott, a veteran of three UK tours, believes Meningas experience gained from coaching 10 State of Origin series has been crucial in producing an environment geared around success.Hes a relaxed guy and was a relaxed player and with the Queensland side it was always about having fun, Scott said.Blokes getting on, but most importantly getting the job done, is crucial and that is what he did with the Maroons from 2006 and there are a lot similarities here.Its in stark contrast to the approach of Tim Sheens, who stood down after seven years in charge having failed to win the 2015 Four Nations series.Sheensy was a little bit more intense in what we did, Scott said.It was a lot more video and structure whereas Mal has been a lot more focused on the feeling around the group, in the jersey and the feeling of what it means to play for Australia.Scott will be at the coalface in the starting front row at the Olympic Stadium against Sam Burgess, James Graham and Co and he admits being wary of the threat of an England side who have to win the game to avoiding exiting the tournament.Its going to be physical and it going to be a real test for both packs, he said.I think theyll be a lot better than they were against Scotland but its definitely a match both sides will have been looking forward to.Meninga has made two changes to his starting line-up with Cooper Cronk recalled after sitting out the win over the Kiwis along with Josh Dugan whos preferred to Justin ONeill.Cronk replaces Michael Morgan, and Shannon Boyd is replaced by Tyson Frizzel.However, Boyd is on stand-by to replace Sam Thaiday, should the veteran Queensland forward fail to recover from a knee injury.Team: Darius Boyd, Valentine Holmes, Greg Inglis, Josh Dugan, Blake Ferguson, Johnathan Thurston, Cooper Cronk, Matt Scott, Cameron Smith, Aaron Woods, Boyd Cordner, Matt Gillett, Trent Merrin. Interchange: David Klemmer, Tyson Frizell, Michael Morgan, Sam Thaiday, Michael Morgan, Shannon Boyd, Justin ONeill. (two to be omitted). Dirk Nowitzki Jersey . Belfort (24-10) needed just 77 seconds to down Henderson in the headlining bout of Saturdays "UFC Fight Night: Belfort vs. Henderson" event at Goiania Arena in Goiania, Brazil. The fight served as a rematch of the pairs 2006 meeting, which Henderson won by decision. Dallas Mavericks Jerseys . "Jeff is a hard worker who was an important special-teams contributor for us last season," said Stamps GM John Hufnagel. http://www.mavericksteamofficial.info/jason-kidd-mavericks-jersey/ .

Barcelona hosts third-division side Cartagena in the return leg of their round-of-32 tie after winning their first meeting 4-1. Dirk Nowitzki Mavericks Jersey . President of baseball operations Larry Beinfest was fired Friday after 12 years with the Marlins. The move came as the team neared the end of its third consecutive last-place season in the NL East. Englands injury list has grown after a bruising weekend of Aviva Premiership rugby with 11 players now on the sidelines.A total of seven of the 23 that were named for Englands third Test against Australia are now out injured and as Eddie Jones prepares to name his Elite Player Squad on Friday, he will have to make some tough calls over those yet to play this season.Manu Tuilagi (groin), James Haskell (toe) and Jack Clifford (ankle) will all miss the November Tests while Jonny May (knee), Jack Nowell (thumb), Owen Farrell (back) and George Kruis (back) are yet to play this season.England captain Dylan Hartley was forced off with a back injury in Northamptons round two win over Bristol while Jonathan Joseph (thigh) was a late withdrawal from the Bath side that lost at Leicester.Harlequins duo Joe Marler (concussion) and Danny Care (ribs) also picked up knocks in their win over Saracens.dddddddddddd Marler will go through the return-to-play protocols while Care will get further clarity on his injury early this week.Saracens duo Farrell and Kruis are expected to return in the next fortnight with the latter set to face Bristol on Friday but Mark McCall is reluctant to rush back Farrell.Owen is getting closer and closer, but with the length of the season its just madness to make a short term decision that might have long-term implications, so well do the right thing, McCall said.He did all the training last week, he just didnt feel quite right and well wait until he feels completely right in his own head before we play him. Hes mad keen to play. ' ' '
