Sexton kicks Ireland to 15-10 win over S. Africa

Jonathan Sexton kicked all Ireland's points to give his team a 15-10 win over world champion South Africa on Saturday.

The 24-year-old flyhalf landed five of his seven kicks to justify his selection ahead of record scorer Ronan O'Gara and give his side a third straight win over the Springboks.

South Africa did score the only try of the match through Schalk Burger but was lucky to keep 15 men on the field for the whole game as its discipline crumbled under pressure.

Ireland has now completed its November internationals unbeaten. It drew 20-20 with Australia and defeated Fiji 41-6.

Daly must walk alone to defeat his demons

Agood rule of thumb is that the person to blame is the one whodoesn't return your calls. I'm talking about the PGA Tour here.

A commissioner or assistant or at least a spokesperson issupposed to call to discuss why the tour never did anything aboutJohn Daly when he admitted in October that he was drinking again - ifonly a few beers at a time.

Look, when a guy with an alcohol problem - who already has driedout once - says he is drinking "socially," somebody needs to say ordo something. But the phone is quiet; the PGA isn't calling.I'm talking about Daly's friends here. Presumably, when you dosomething socially, you're not doing it alone. That means someoneclose …

Pondexter lifts Liberty past Fever, 81-80

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Cappie Pondexter scored 21 points, including the winning jumper with 8.1 seconds left to give the New York Liberty an 81-80 victory over the Indiana Fever on Friday night.

Bangladesh, Zimbabwe expect good fight

Having now played together for four years, Zimbabwe are a far tougher proposition than they used to be, Bangladesh cricket captain Mohammad Ashraful said on Friday.

"The players of this team (Zimbabwe) have been together for four years, they are now a much stronger side," Ashraful said ahead of the start of a triangular one-day internationals series which begins Saturday between Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka.

However, Ashraful remains confident of his team's chances.

"We can beat any team, not only Zimbabwe, if we can play our best," Ashraful said.

Zimbabwe skipper Prosper Utseya said his team was now more …

In developing this proposal, the FDIC, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve Board have considered a range of potential information needs, particularly in the areas of credit risk, liquidity and liabilities, and have identified …
