The All Blacks midfield concerns have deepened with the loss of centre George Moala for Saturday nights Bledisloe Cup clash with the Wallabies in Sydney.Impressive against Wales earlier this year, Moala has been ruled out of the Rugby Championship opener at ANZ Stadium after suffering a medial ligament tear at training on Monday.Its another headache for All Blacks coach Steve Hansen, already coming to grips with losing Sonny Bill Williams for the entire campaign due to his Achilles injury at the Rio Olympics sevens last week.After decades of stability, the centres were already shaping as a potential area of rare vulnerability for the top-ranked All Blacks following the retirements of veteran pair Maa Nonu and Conrad Smith after last years successful World Cup defence.Nonu, Smith and Williams boast some 230 Tests of experience and have each won two Rugby World Cups.Since the days of Bruce Robertson, Joe Stanley, Frank Bunce and Tana Umaga through to Smith and Nonu, the All Blacks have always prospered with long-serving centres.Now Hansen is seemingly certain to use the relatively inexperienced international duo of Ryan Crotty and Malakai Fekitoa against Australia, with young rookie Anton Lienert-Brown unlikely to start in the Bledisloe Cup cauldron after being called up as Williams squad replacement.All Blacks assistant coach Ian Foster conceded the Moala setback was disappointing.Its certainly different, isnt it, Foster said.People are sort of used to the Nonu-Smith (combination). Chuck Sonny Bill in there as well.I wouldnt call it vulnerable but Id certainly say we are building combinations.While New Zealands centre stocks are suddenly depleted, Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has the luxury of being able to call upon his World Cup pairing of Matt Giteau and Tevita Kuridrani, or consider any number of other options.Israel Folau, Samu Kerevi, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Rob Horne and Matt Toomua are other competent centres in the Wallabies squad fighting for a starting spot.I dont know whether thats an area theyre going to target or not, Foster said.Theres no hiding the fact that weve got players that are less experienced than guys who have been there in the past.But if look at the guys weve got there, Ryans got a number of Tests under his belt and Malakais the same.Obviously losing George means were short of that option but weve got guys who have played a bit of Test-match rugby and have played over here as well.So whichever way we go, its exciting for us.We know its new, but its something we saw in June. We made good progress in the midfield and now its going to be a next step up. Air Force 1 Shoes Canada .

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Ashton Eaton retained his title as the best all-around athlete in the world by tying the decathlon Olympic record and, within minutes, had stepped back for track and fields ultimate superstar to take center stage again.What more could the now two-time Olympic champion Eaton do Thursday night to get just a little sliver of the limelight that beams down so brightly on Usain Bolt?Not much.I had the pleasure of being in the same era as Usain Bolt, Eaton said. I mean, the guys last name is Bolt, hes the fastest man ever, you cant write a story like that.You can try.For his own tale, Eaton made it back-to-back Olympic and world titles in the decathlon, an event the American has ruled since he rebounded from silver at the worlds in 2011 to claim the next four major gold medals available. From throwing, to jumping, to running, Eaton can do it all.But then Bolt -- a Jamaican who just deals in speed -- roared around the bend at the Olympic Stadium to win the 200 meters in 19.78 seconds, completing act two of his three-part quest for gold and history in Rio.Maybe there was some comfort for Eaton -- and loads of other athletes looking to be the one to shine -- with Bolts suggestion afterward that hes nearly done.On the straight, my body didnt respond. Im getting old, said Bolt, who was trying to break his own world record of 19.19.Fridays 4x100-meter relay final is all thats left now between Bolt and an historic three golds at three straight Olympics. Concentrating on not messing that up for Bolt, a Jamaica team led by Asafa Powell got into the final in a pretty important moment for the big mans legacy. They only finished second in their heat behind Japan, but Jamaicas in.There was some pressure to make it to the finals, Powell said, relieved he didnt have to deliver any bad news as Bolt prepared for the 200 final.Wednesday produced an awesome hour for the U.S. track team, according to Tianna Bartoletta. By Thursday night, that had evolved into a pretty great 24 hours.Alongside Eatons triumph, Ryan Crouser led an American one-two in the shot put, also setting a new Olympic record of 22.52 meters to win his first major title from world champion Joe Kovacs.Dalilah Muhammad kept the U.S. total ticking on with gold in the womens 400-meter hurdles and Ashley Spencer added a bronze, with another American 1-2 only just thwarted by Denmarks Sara Slott Petersen. Kerron Clement later won his first individual Olympic gold in the 400-meter hurdles.ddddddddddddWe are making history out here, Muhammad said of the U.S. teams gold rush.The crowd at a near-full Olympic Stadium was constantly reminded of that with a series of medal ceremonies through the day, most of them starting with: Oh, say can you see...With three days remaining, the United States was up to 24 medals in track and field, eight of them gold. The U.S. won 29 medals, including nine golds, in London.For a few short moments, the U.S. womens 4x100 relay team was a little like Bolt: They were the only ones everyone was looking at.Leading off, Bartoletta nestled into the starting blocks in lane 2 for the teams re-run -- all on their own and against the clock only -- after they fumbled the baton in their original qualifier. The second chance came after a U.S. protest. With just that clock and the crowd for company, the Americans took the baton around in 41.77 seconds to reach the final.Our coach said before we went out there, `Its just like practice, just the whole world will be watching, said English Gardner, who ran the third leg.Eaton finished with 8,893 points, digging deep through the final lap of the last event, the 1,500 meters, to cross the line third, incredibly matching exactly the Olympic record after 10 events over two days.How cant there be one stinking point in there somewhere? Eaton said.Eaton had briefly darted away from the decathlon to congratulate Clement as his teammate knelt exhausted in the midday sun after winning the hurdles, an indicator of the feel-good surging through the U.S. track team right now.Croatias Sara Kolak won the womens javelin, another first-time Olympic champion like Crouser.And South Africas Caster Semenya, the outright favorite for the womens 800-meter title, qualified fastest for the final as she breezed to victory in her semifinal heat, unchallenged, in 1 minute 58.15 seconds.Semenya, another compelling story at these games but for different reasons to Bolt, will run in the 800 final on Saturday.By then, Bolt will be done at the Olympics forever.Ive worked all my career, all my life, for this moment, Bolt said. So hopefully people can read about me as the greatest.---AP Sports Writer Raf Casert contributed to this report. ' ' '
