Rugby-Wallabies strike late to edge Fiji in Lions warm-up test
By Nick Mulvenney Rugby-Wallabies strike late to edge Fiji in Lions warm-up test NEWCASTLE, Australia -Australia lost starting flyhalf Noah Lolesio to injury as they came from behind with a late try to beat Fiji 21-18 in their only warm-up for the test series against the British & Irish Lions on Sunday. Captain Harry Wilson crossed a minute from time for the try that gave Australia a measure of revenge for their loss to Fiji at the 2023 World Cup but fell short of the convincing win they would have wanted before facing the Lions in three tests. "We didn't play well enough today for people to have the expectation that we're going to come bowling into Brisbane and knock the Lions over," said coach Joe Schmidt. "But then I'm not sure that expectation was there before today. We're just going to have to build that quiet resolve, that inch-by-inch so we can work our way toward that." Schmidt had a more positive news on Lolesio than would have been expected after he slammed his head into the turf in a tackle on the hour mark and had to be stretchered off the field in a neck brace. "He appeared to be in good shape," he said. "I think it was whiplash and his head hit the ground. So I'm hopeful that's going to be something that will resolve itself reasonably quickly. we won't take any risks with him." The team said they did not think Lolesio would have to go through concussion protocols before being able to play again. Fiji scored tries through debutant Salesi Rayasi and Lekima Tagitagivalu either side of halftime and had eight points from the boot of flyhalf Caleb Muntz but came up just short of a first win over the Wallabies in Australia since 1954. "Very proud of my brothers, we came together in one week, prepared to put it out there today," said Fiji captain Tevita Ikanivere. "I know it's a disappointing loss, losing in the last minute, but thankful to them for giving their all today." The Wallabies dominated territory in the first half and looked to get the ball wide as often as they could with Max Jorgensen impressing on the left wing. The opening try came from a more prosaic move in the ninth minute with hooker Dave Porecki going over the line on the back of a rolling maul. Right winger Harry Potter crossed in the corner in the 16th minute from a slick backline move, but the score was called back for a forward pass. The Fijians did not get inside the Australia 22-metre line until the 27th minute but steely defence kept the home side out until two minutes before the break. Quick hands along the backline sent flanker Fraser McReight over for a try that, with Lolesio's second conversion, gave the Wallabies a 14-0 lead they would have been happy to take into halftime. HIGH BALL MISFIRES An attempt to get centre Joseph Suaalii involved with a high ball in the midfield just before misfired, however, and the Fijians charged down the other end for fullback Rayasi to score in the corner. The Wallabies kept up with the attempts to get width in their attack after the break, and Jorgensen had a try chalked off in the 49th minute for another forward pass from fullback Tom Wright. Muntz kicked a penalty to cut the deficit to 14-8 in the 51st minute, and the visitors took the lead four minutes later when winger Jiuta Wainiqolo burst through the midfield before finding flanker Tagitagivalu in support. The Fijians, now rampant, went over again through Sireli Maqala on the hour mark, only for the referee to call that score back too for an earlier foot in touch. Fiji continued to trouble the Wallabies with their big ball carriers, but Australia worked their way back up the pitch as the last few minutes ticked away. Four points adrift, they elected to kick for the corner with a late penalty and Wilson was soon barrelling over the line under the posts to clinch the winning score.

Schmidt admits Wallabies have mountain to climb against Lions
Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt cautioned Sunday that fans should not expect Australia to "knock the Lions over" after an error-riddled great escape against Fiji. Schmidt admits Wallabies have mountain to climb against Lions The home side narrowly avoided a morale-sapping loss to the Pacific Islanders in Newcastle, needing a 79th minute try to save face and win 21-18. It was an underwhelming performance two weeks out from the first Test in Brisbane against a British and Irish Lions squad brimming with talent and depth, who have won all three of their warm-ups so far. "We didn't play well enough today for people to have the expectation that we're going to come bowling into Brisbane and knock the Lions over," Schmidt told reporters. "But I'm not sure that expectation was there before today. "We're just going to have to build that quiet resolve, inch by inch." After grinding to a 14-0 advantage, the Wallabies squandered chances to build an even bigger lead with a catalogue of errors letting Fiji back into the game. They were staring down the barrel of defeat before skipper Harry Wilson secured the win as the clock ticked down. "Some of it was frustration and some of it was relief to find ourselves in that situation after we built a nice lead early in the game," Schmidt said. "It was certainly a relief when Harry got over and dotted it down." A concern for Australia will be the amount of dropped ball and missed tackles, along with their lack of composure when the pressure was on. Schmidt said they must learn to cut out the errors and take their chances or pay the price. "We've got to iron those out to be super accurate because if you don't nail your opportunities, you don't get to build their scoreboard pressure," he said. The Fiji match was Australia's only Test to fine-tune before facing the Lions, with Schmidt conceding his players may been distracted by the upcoming series. "I think it is inevitable to a degree ... we were watching the game last night with the Waratahs playing the Lions," he said. "I've no doubt that that might leak in, but I certainly wouldn't be looking to use it as an excuse." mp/mtp This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Tigers All-Star 2B Gleyber Torres (neck) OK after exiting vs. Guardians
Detroit Tigers All-Star second baseman Gleyber Torres left Saturday's game against the host Cleveland Guardians in the first inning due to a neck contusion but apparently avoided a serious injury. Tigers All-Star 2B Gleyber Torres (neck) OK after exiting vs. Guardians Tigers manager A.J. Hinch termed Torres' removal as precautionary, while Torres indicated to reporters after Detroit's 1-0 win that all was fine. Torres was injured on a force play at second base to end the inning off a grounder hit by teammate Riley Greene. Cleveland shortstop Brayan Rocchio had to lunge to grab a behind-the-back flip from second baseman Johnathan Rodriguez and Rocchio's elbow connected with the sliding Torres. Torres stopped on the ground before the bag and was attended to for a few minutes before exiting the field. "He got elbowed in the neck, which kind of jarred him," Hinch said. "He needed a minute and just felt a little off. So we erred on the side of caution and took him out. came to me in the third or fourth inning and gave me the notice that he was doing well and everything was fine. Hopefully, that was just a scare. It obviously looked painful and was kind of an awkward collision." Javier Baez moved from shortstop to second base in the bottom of the first and Mark Sweeney entered to play shortstop. Torres, 28, walked in the first inning to extend his on-base streak to 18 games. The All-Star starter is batting .279 with nine homers and 44 RBIs in 77 games.
