ROSARIO, Argentina -- Australia saved its best for last in the Rugby Championship by tearing apart Argentina by a stunning 54-17 on Saturday. Cheap Throwback Cardinals Jerseys . The Wallabies were considered ripe for plucking by a Pumas side which believed an advantage of home ground and confidence could help deliver it a first championship win in its 12th match and second campaign. But the Wallabies scored the first of their seven tries within three minutes, were relentless to the end against a flimsy defence, and even their much maligned scrum upstaged a Pumas pushover attempt with seven men to help record their biggest victory on Argentine soil. "Its a real confidence booster for us, were very, very happy," Wallabies skipper James Horwill said. "One to 15 put in the effort, and especially here in Rosario, its a tough place to play." To the relief of under-pressure coach Ewen McKenzie, Australia finally clicked. Fullback Israel Folau scored three tries, the first Wallabies hat trick in two years, and helped set up another for winger Adam Ashley-Cooper. The other winger, Joe Tomane, capped an impressive game with a superb individual try. Substitutes finished off the rout, with prop Benn Robinson dotting down and flyhalf Bernard Foley scoring on debut in a breakout from their own posts in the last minute. Argentina was left with the wooden spoon for a second straight year, and six straight losses for the first time since 1977. "Congratulations to Australia, they came here against the wall and they played great rugby," said Argentina captain Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe. Just like last year when the Wallabies edged a win in Rosario to ruin the retirement of 14-year Pumas prop Rodrigo Roncero, they also spoiled the night for midfielder Felipe Contepomi, Argentinas caps (87) and points (651) record-holder who was playing his last match. And like Roncero, Contepomi never enjoyed a win over Australia. Australian halves Will Genia, the former captain recalled at scrumhalf, and Quade Cooper spearheaded their attack by taking on the defence, and gave the outside backs room to run. Cooper and Tomane set up Folau for his first try within minutes, but Australia made a bigger statement soon after in defending its tryline. The Pumas tried to score from their renowned scrum in the left corner, and forced penalties against both Wallabies props ending with a yellow card for loosehead James Slipper. But down to seven men in the scrum, Australia thwarted a pushover try attempt by the Pumas, flanker Michael Hooper stole the ball, and Australia cleared. The Pumas scrum was never a threat again. While Pumas flanker Pablo Matera was in the sin-bin, Australia boosted the lead to 25-3 with tries to Ashley-Cooper and Folau. Pumas centre Marcelo Bosch scored a converted try to take the gloss off a half dominated by Australia, but Folau put the visitors back on track 90 seconds into the new half when he took an inside pass from Cooper and completed his hat trick, and Australias first four-try bonus point this season. Even with Australian lock Rob Simmons in the sin-bin from the 50th, Argentina couldnt take advantage again, and the Wallabies seemed to break tackles almost at will for their eighth straight win over the Pumas since 2000. Cardinals Roger Maris Jersey .Cullen scored the go-ahead goal at 13:47 of the third period and Nashville beat the slumping Dallas Stars 3-2 on Thursday in a game that wasnt decided until the last shot of the night. Cardinals Red Schoendienst Jersey . It was well worth the wait. Manning and the Denver Broncos waited eight long months, then another 33 minutes to get the season started because of a lightning storm. http://www.cheapcardinalsjerseysauthentic.com/?tag=cardinals-yairo-munoz-jersey . Rockies manager Walt Weiss was unhappy, too. Weiss addressed the issue in a 15-minute meeting with his pitcher and catcher after the Rockies gave up 14 hits and lost 10-1. De La Rosa lasted only 4 1-3 innings and allowed five runs in his first opening-day start.BOSTON -- So much for Bostons mini surge of offence. The Red Sox managed just two hits and were beaten by the Chicago White Sox 4-0 on Monday night, Bostons sixth loss in seven games. Scott Carroll pitched 6 2-3 innings of one-hit ball, and Dayan Viciedo hit a three-run homer off Clay Buchholz in the fourth as Boston was shut out for the ninth time this season and tied its season-low hit output. Adam Dunn also homered off Buchholz, but he recovered well from the rocky start and kept the Red Sox in the game. All four runs came on home runs as Buchholz (3-5) allowed five hits, struck out a season-high seven and walked one. "Its been real frustrating, especially tonight. Buchholz threw a good game," said Boston leadoff hitter Brock Holt, who went 0-for-4. "We werent able to get anything going. Two hits. Two singles." A.J. Pierzynskis third-inning single was the lone hit off Carroll. Jackie Bradley Jr. singled off Javy Guerra to lead off the eighth for the only other Red Sox hit. Boston entered Monday having scored 22 runs in its last four games, but allowed 32 during the same span. Buchholz was willing to talk about the mistakes he made to Dunn in the second and Viciedo in the fourth, but stood up for his teammates when asked about the lack of run support. The Reed Sox scored just one run in his previous start, a 2-1 loss to the Cubs in Boston. Cardinals Mike Mayers Jersey. "Im done talking about the offence. Its not like theyre out there not trying or anything," he said. "Its just not working right now. Im not going to answer any more questions about our offence." Making the eighth -- and best -- start of his career, Carroll (3-5) walked two and struck out five while shutting down the defending World Series champions. Dunn hit a solo homer in the second inning and doubled and scored on Viciedos home run in the fourth. The start of the game was delayed by 39 minutes because of severe weather moving through the area. There were two brief but torrential downpours during the game that sent fans scurrying but didnt stop play. NOTES: Carroll allowed seven runs on 10 hits and three walks in six innings in his previous start. ... The Red Sox won a managers challenge at first base even though replays showed that Jim Joyces original call, that Mike Napolis foot came off the base, was correct. ... The Red Sox activated 1B/OF Mike Carp from the 15-day disabled list and optioned INF Jonathan Herrera to Triple-A Pawtucket. ... The Red Sox fell to 2-5 against Chicago teams, having been swept by the Cubs at home last week in a three-game interleague series. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
