Five months after being hauled off after just 31 minutes on his second Test appearance, Teimana Harrison has been charged with the essential role of being Englands blockade against Fiji on Saturday.First-half tactical substitutions are a rare thing in Test rugby but Jones made two during their June series against Australia with Luther Burrell getting that treatment in the first match and Harrison in the third.I dont see it as a big deal, was Eddie Jones take when asked if the players were mentally scarred from the experience. It is a view said to be echoed by the team but only Harrison knows exactly how much it affected him ahead of his third start at openside for England against the Islanders at Twickenham.Dylan Hartley, England captain and was also in the same school as Harrison in Rotorua, knows the flanker well.He brought him to Northampton, chartered his meteoric rise from academy obscurity to his Test debut against Wales in May and would have kept a watchful eye on Harrison in the changing room after his substitution ignominy.Eddie said to him after the game in the changing room that it was a decision for the team, Hartley said of Harrison. Coaches make decisions on behalf of the team and that is what they thought we needed at the time.Tei is a young guy. He had a brilliant first season for Northampton. He has been told, like we all have, to improve in certain areas and he has gone and done that.Jones doesnt necessarily follow rugbys traditional narrative. On Friday he talked of how England have only had 31 great players in their history, as they were the group that won the World Cup -- a statement which swipes aside those who played before the quadrennial tournament started in 1987.And then there is Elliot Daly. Though he is usually found in the centres, Daly is on the wing on Saturday despite having started just five of his 92 Aviva Premiership games for Wasps on the flank.First-half substitutions are also a break from the norm and it was surprising that he singled out Harrisons showing in Northamptons heavy 41-7 Champions Cup loss at Castres back in October as the best performance he had seen from a No.7 in a Premiership team.It was this match along with Harrisons off-field work which has seen him given another chance to impress after his Northampton teammate Tom Wood performed well in the openside role last week.Hes physically better equipped. He has gone back and put on a couple of kilos, Jones said. Hes worked particularly on his tackled technique.He did a lot of good work with [England defence coach] Paul Gustard and with [coaching consultant and Melbourne Storm coach] Jason Ryles in Portugal.Jones recognises Harrisons rise has been rapid, but wants him to embrace the physical and mental challenges of Test rugby, starting with Saturdays task of stopping Fijis attacking threat.He needs to be a stopper, Jones said. He needs to stop the Fijians on the gainline. Thats what Haskells done so well for us and now hes in the three-piece suit and looking very good.We need another guy not in the three-piece suit to stop opposition on the gainline.Tom Wood did a great job for us last week; we are looking to see how we can increase the depth in that No.7 role.With James Haskell, Mike Williams, Sam Jones and Jack Clifford all injured and Wood hopeful of returning to the openside role for the Test against Argentina on Nov. 26, there is fierce competition for the No.7 shirt.Harrisons audition will be on Saturday and he is challenged by Jones to take his next step to greatnessWe want to produce great players, Jones said. Every player tomorrow has an opportunity to get on the path to being a great player. If Teimana does it his selection increases. Its it the same for every player.

Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic . -- Arizona knocked off some quality opponents, rolled over a few overmatched ones and grinded out victories even when things didnt go so well.Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp refused to use tired legs as an excuse after his side drew 0-0 at Southampton on Saturday. The Reds largely dominated at a rain-soaked St Marys but failed to take their chances, with Roberto Firmino and Nathaniel Clyne both missing good opportunities in the second half.Firmino and Clyne were among several Liverpool players who were away on international duty in the week and even though some only returned a couple of days before the trip to the south coast, Klopp did not use that as an excuse for the stalemate. We decided to buy players from Brazil, or with the longest distance, so thats the situation, we cannot change it, he told Sky Sports. There is nothing to think about. We have to use the seconds and minutes from when the plane lands and the next game starts, its a challenge but it was possible. Charlie Nicholas gives his thoughts on the draw We had no session to prepare because guys came back too late, so we used the first half to prepare for the second half.We did well. We had three really big chances and it should be enough, but its not a probleem.ddddddddddddy experience tells me that usually a game like this you lose when you are not ready to fight, and we were ready to fight, even for the draw. We deserved a point as minimum so Im completely fine. Watch highlights of the match The draw means Liverpool have been joined at the top of the Premier League by Manchester City, and could be leapfrogged by Chelsea if they beat Middlesbrough on Nissan Super Sunday.Klopp admitted the Reds could have won with the chances they had, but was pleased with the display, particularly after half-time.It was an intense game, the first half was not bad, but not bad is not good enough, he said. Second half was very good. We could have won with the chances, but we played against a very organised side.There are two things to think about, the result and the performance. The performance was good after difficult preparation. Also See: Southampton 0-0 Liverpool As it happened Carra analyses draw Liverpool fixtures ' ' '
