Neues » DUBLIN (AP) — Only center Garry Ringrose has kept

his run-on jersey in the Ireland side meeting the United States in a rugby international on Saturday at Lansdowne Road.Ringrose was the only repeat starter from the 16-9 win over New Zealand last weekend Philadelphia Eagles Jerseys Stitched , while prop Cian Healy and flanker Josh van Der Flier were in the reserves.Lock Iain Henderson, flanker Jordi Murphy, and flyhalf Joey Carbery were replacements against the All Blacks and promoted to starters on Thursday, while reserve scrumhalf Luke McGrath was retained.Flanker Rhys Ruddock captains the second-string side which more closely resembles the one which thrashed Italy’s backup players 54-7 in Chicago at the start of the month.Stuart McCloskey teams with Ringrose in midfield for his first test in a year, and uncapped Munster center Sam Arnold was in the reserves.“I wanted Stu to get in between a couple of ballplayers, but challenge him to be a ballplayer as well,’ coach Joe Schmidt said.“We know he’s a ball-carrier, we know how strong he is. (U.S. opposite) Paul Lasike is one of the few men in world rugby who is actually bigger than him in his face-to-face positional challenge.“So going up against an ex-Chicago Bear and a very talented player Miles Sanders Jersey 2019 , it’s a big challenge.”The U.S. comes to Ireland unbeaten this year, on a nine-test winning run, including one over Scotland. It started this month with a non-cap loss to New Zealand Maori, beat Samoa for the first time, and handled a depleted Romania 31-5 in Bucharest last weekend.The Eagles have improved to a rankings-best 13th, above Italy for the first time.“If you’re not absolutely on the money then there’s a big risk for us,” Schmidt said.“So it certainly helps focus the mind, focus the training and allows you to leave behind last week Black Miles Sanders Jersey , as special as it was for us.”Regular scrumhalf Shaun Davies has completed concussion protocols to start, and Will Hooley was at fullback after a late injury withdrawal last weekend. PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Avonte Maddox has turned into a do-it-all defensive back in a secondary decimated by injuries.The rookie fourth-round pick began the season as Philadelphia’s fifth cornerback, but has become one of the team’s most valuable defensive players. Maddox entered the starting lineup at safety in Week 5 after Rodney McLeod sustained a season-ending knee injury and backup Corey Graham got hurt.He moved to nickel cornerback in Week 9 after Jalen Mills also went down for the season. The Eagles also lost starter Ronald Darby for the season and nickel cornerback Sidney Jones has been plagued by injuries. Maddox missed three games himself before returning at outside cornerback and played a key role in a 30-23 upset at the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday.“I don’t know if we win that game without Avonte,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said. “We use him where we need him. Every week’s been different. I have no idea how many different secondary lineups we’ve used. I’m sure it’s been a lot, just where we are and he’s been ‘Johnny on the spot.’ We’ve missed him when he wasn’t in there. He has great speed, plays with a lot of energy, and as long as he’s one of the 11 on the field, we’ll find a spot for him somewhere.”The 5-foot-9 Maddox plays tougher than his size suggests and is willing to do whatever it takes to help the team.“I pride myself as a DB Youth Miles Sanders Jersey , anytime I can go out there and play a position. I’m going to give it my all, take pride in it and learn,” he said.Maddox played four seasons at Pittsburgh and wasn’t expected to contribute much beyond special teams after the Eagles selected him 125th overall. But injuries opened the door and he forced his way into the starting lineup with a strong effort in practice.“He’s been a real consistent player for us,” coach Doug Pederson said. “He’s a highly intellectual guy that understands scheme. He’s a young player that’s just going to continue to get better. He comes to work every day, he feeds off the veteran players.”Malcolm Jenkins has been the rock in Philadelphia’s secondary. While others around him keep going down, the two-time Pro Bowl safety has played every snap on defense and another 119 snaps on special teams.Jenkins sets the example for Maddox and fellow cornerbacks Rasul Douglas and Cre’Von LeBlanc. The unit will have another tough task this week against Houston receivers DeAndre Hopkins and Demaryius Thomas.“I think he’s by far the best player on their offense,” Jenkins said of Hopkins. “He’s going to make plays on the ball. He’s a great route runner, strong after the catch. You’ve got to find ways to just limit his impact on the game.”Notes: DE Michael Bennett (foot) Youth Ronald Darby Jerseys , DT Fletcher Cox (hip), K Jake Elliott (illness), WR Alshon Jeffery (illness), Jones (hamstring), G Isaac Seumalo (pectoral), QB Carson Wentz (back) and LB D.J.
