So we’re now halfway through our trip and the third leg of the World Rugby HSBC Women’s Sevens Series in Atlanta is over and done with. Alex Smith Jersey . Atlanta was a good tournament for us, we beat Australia who have been the best team in the world this year, Fiji, Columbia, Russia and Canada, losing only to New Zealand in the semi-finals. Sevens is a funny game, the way it is formatted means you can lose a number of games and ultimately still win the tournament.Like us, Australia only lost one game all tournament and went on to win the competition, whereas America also only lost one game all tournament but finished fifth to win the Plate. Essentially, if you can make it through your group, day two is like a whole other competition. This is why sevens is such an exciting and unpredictable game to watch, which is great for supporters and certainly keeps you on your toes as a player.We drew Russia in our quarter-final, the exact repeat of what happened this time last year in Atlanta. Thankfully the result wasnt the same. Losing in a quarter-final is probably one of the worst feelings playing sevens. You then spend the rest of the day, two more games, fighting for something that you dont really want (fifth place).Additionally, the quality of teams now means that the Plate is often as tough as the cup competition. Luckily that wasnt something we had to contemplate at this tournament. Nothing like playing cards while basking in the sunshine Six games in two days are tough and trying to switch off and relax in between games is essential but tricky. This tournament Bananagrams and card games were leading the charge in the down time.Bananagrams is a quick fire scrabble type word game which is highly addictive. It is certainly a good time filler. Depending on who you are playing it can be rather amusing as we dont necessarily boast a team full of gifted spellers.I shall leave those players nameless to spare their blushes but safe to say a couple of the girls have realised there is in fact a difference between slang and proper English.Were now in Victoria, Vancouver Island, one of the nicest places we are fortunate enough to visit during the series (IMO). It also plays host to the fattest seals you will ever see. Feeding some of the local residents in Victoria We are staying right near the harbour, so taking a gentle stroll down there in some down time is a nice relaxing way to get out of the hotel and some sea air. The resident seals are always there waiting, floating on the surface due to their slightly larger than normal body mass.Despite this, we bought some fish and fed them and as soon as a certain player (again nameless) had realised that they were seals and not indeed otters, we headed back to the hotel.This weekend will again be a tough test for us, having only a week to recover is challenging for all teams and so it will be a mental battle of will as much as a physical battle. We played some good stuff in Atlanta and have been working hard to rectify some things that werent so great. Langford will be another tough test, and as I said if we can make the second day in a good position its game on.

Lions 31-17 before a disappointed crowd of 37,312 -- the highest of the season at B.C. Place -- on Friday night. The Riders ended their losing streak at four games as they moved into a second-place tie with B.C. for second place in the West Division. Both clubs have 9-5 records. The Lions suffered their first regular-season loss at home since July 20, 2012 against Edmonton. Lions quarterback Thomas DeMarco suffered his first loss in three games filling in for injured starter Travis Lulay (shoulder.)

Weston Dressler caught a touchdown pass for Saskatchewan while Chris Milo furnished two field goals and a single off a miss. B.C. also conceded a safety. Shawn Gore and Nick Moore scored touchdowns for B.C., while Paul McCallum kicked one field goal. B.C. led 3-0 after the first quarter, but the Riders never trailed after Dresslers second-quarter touchdown. Many fans came to see Riders slotback Geroy Simon, who played his first game in B.C. since being traded to Saskatchewan in January. The crowd gave him a standing ovation when he was introduced before the game. But Simon had a quiet night, recording just one catch on the second-last play of the game. He extended his receptions streak to 184 games just seconds before it was in danger of coming to an end. McCallum put B.C. on scoreboard first as he booted a 35-yard field goal about nine-and-a-half minutes into the game after both teams struggled to get going offensively. The Lions were forced to settle for a field goal after DeMarco plunged for a first down on a third-and-one situation but then threw two incomplete passes. Saskatchewan put up its first points early in the second quarter as Durant connected with Dressler on a seven-yard touchdown pass, staking the Riders to a 7-3 lead. The Lions threatened to score, but Dwight Anderson intercepted a DeMarco pass in the end zone and returned the ball 38 yards. Dresslers 49-yard reception put the Riders in scoring position again. It looked like the Lions had limited the Riders to a 32-yard field goal, but a facemasking penalty to B.C. defensive back Lin-J Shell kept the drive alive and Sheets ran for a one-yardd touchdown. Alex Smith Redskins Jersey. Officials were slow to signal a touchdown, and Lions coach Mike Benevides challenged the call, but lost. The Riders then decided to go for a two-point convert and Durant was successful as he threw to Dressler. Sheets was hurt in the closing seconds of the first half as he tried to turn across the field while running with the ball after making a catch. His right ankle appeared to give out and he fell without being tackled. He set up a 39-yard field goal attempt on the last play of the second quarter, but Milo was wide and the ball went through the end zone for a single point to give Saskatchewan a 16-3 advantage at half-time. Sheets returned in the second half, but not before the Lions used their first series to reduce Saskatchewans lead to 16-10. Receiver Shawn Gore ran in for a one-yard touchdown on a reverse. The score was set up by a Tyron Brackenridge pass interference penalty in the end zone and a 41-yard rush by another B.C. receiver-turned-rusher, Korey Williams. But Sheets soon enabled the Riders to go up 23-10 as he ran in for his second touchdown for the game, from six yards out. The Riders went ahead by two more points at the end of the third quarter as McCallum conceded a safety. Another Williams 41-yard gain, this time on a pass, put the Lions in scoring range in the fourth quarter, but McCallums field-goal attempt was wide and Dressler ran the ball out of the end zone. Lions offensive guard Patrick Kabongos unnecessary roughness penalty for contact out of bounds helped set up a Milo 45-yard field goal that put the Riders up 28-10. B.C. made things slightly interesting as Moore caught a 15-yard touchdown with less than three minutes left in the fourth quarter while the Lions were on third down with 15 yards to go. But on B.C.s next drive, Gore dropped a pass while open, the Lions were called for illegal procedure and Carlos Thomas knocked down a long bomb intended for Emmanuel Arceneaux on another third-down situation. Milo closed out the scoring with a 33-yard field goal with 30 seconds left.
