LOUIS -- St. Ultra Boost Parley Sale .com) - Following a late-game loss to the reigning NBA champs, the Toronto Raptors will look to sustain their recent high-level play as they travel to Indiana to take on the Pacers. Womens Ultra Boost Cheap . -- San Francisco 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks was fined $15,570 by the NFL on Wednesday for his hit on Saints quarterback Drew Brees last Sunday. Two flashes of Beauden Barrett genius have booked the Hurricanes a second successive Super Rugby final appearance following a 25-9 win over the Chiefs.Brilliant playmaker Barrett created one long-range try and scored another in Saturdays first half of a rugged semifinal.His side will return to Wellington next weekend, hoping to improve on last years loss in the decider to the Highlanders.It could be a repeat of that game, with the Highlanders facing the Lions late on Saturday night (2300 AEST) in the second semi-final in Johannesburg.Whoever qualifies will need to find a way to quell All Blacks game-breaker Barrett, along with flanker Ardie Savea, who was immense in both attack and defence.Without the pair, the home side might have struggled to overcome a Chiefs side who held sway at scrum and lineout time and dominated territory in cold, blustery conditions.The Hurricanes stubbornly protected their tryline against a Chiefs side who had scored 76 tries this season, including eight in last weeks quarter-final rout of the Stormers.Stand-in captain TJ Perenara laud his teams defence, which kept the Sharks scoreless in last weeks quarter-final.We defended for a big part of that game, especially in the first half, and that set the standard for us because this is a very, very good Chiefs team, he said.The travel could be one explanation for an error-riddled Chiefs attacking display, the two-time champions unable to conjure the brilliant finishing that has been a trademark of their season. Three penalties to fullback Damian McKKenzie provided their only points.ddddddddddddThe Hurricanes were just a little bit sharper than us. We dropped balls that weve been catching all year and that released the pressure valve, Cruden said.We just didnt front in enough areas. For such a young group, well be better for this experience.It was the top-seeded Hurricanes who capitalised on their chances, leading 15-6 at halftime courtesy of Barretts speed and anticipation.He broke the game open in the seventh minute from 75m out when he received turnover ball. A chip and regather was followed by a searing looping run before linking with inside centre Willis Halaholo to complete a memorable try.McKenzie and Barrett traded penalties before the Hurricanes No.10 intercepted a loose pass from Chiefs co-captain Sam Cane and raced 55m.The outcome was virtually sealed when No.8 Victor Vito, playing his second-last game for the Hurricanes, drove across after some nice deception off the back of the scrum.The Chiefs dominated the last half-hour, but trading penalty goals was all they could muster, with the visitors still unable to cross, while the Hurricanes winger Cory Jane was in the sin bin for a deliberate infringement.Victory was the seventh in a row for the Hurricanes, the only New Zealand team still to win a Super Rugby title.They will hope captain Dane Coles will be fit, with the All Blacks hooker ruled out of the match with a rib injury.
