Notre Dame from 2000-08.

A rampant Australia have crushed New Zealand 34-8 to regain the Four Nations championship with a ruthless display at Anfield.Mal Meningas team ran in six tries and returned to the top of the world rugby league rankings after over-running a disappointing Kiwis side, who meekly surrendered the title they won in 2014.The Kangaroos made their intentions clear after just two minutes when Trent Merrins huge shot on Jordan Rapana dislodged the ball and from the resulting scrum, Darius Boyd found Blake Ferguson with superb cut-out pass for the Sydney Roosters star to score.New Zealand responded in a positive fashion with Adam Blair and Jason Taumalolo making strong runs to break deep into the Australian half only for Shaun Kenny-Dowall to drop the ball when it looked easier to score.Shaun Johnson then broke forward strongly but under pressure from Greg Inglis his pass fell short for Kevin Proctor and was picked up by Valentine Holmes who raced downfield to start a movement which ended with a try to Josh Dugan.Matters were compounded for the Kiwis midway through the opening stanza when Trent Merrin crashed over from close range.After adding the extra two points Johnathan Thurston then grubbered for Josh Dugan to dart in between three flat-footed Kiwi defenders to get his hand to the ball to give him a double and the Kangaroos a 24-0 lead at the break.The second period started in a similar fashion with man of the match Boyd, who is still to taste defeat in 22 internationals, scoring when he finished off a sweeping move by sliding over in the right corner.With 55 minutes played the Kiwis finally woke up and troubled to scorers with Jordan Kahu sliding over and he added his second just after the hour mark.However, any hopes of a miraculous comeback were diminished when five minutes from time Boyd Cordner scrambled over for a sixth four-pointer, converted by Thurston.We set out to play well and get the world ranking back, we want to be the best and it is good to get the win tonight, Boyd told the BBC.Mal has brought of pride back to the jersey.Australian halfback Cooper Cronk was named man of the tournament.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Duke and Notre Dame are looking to stop being consistently inconsistent.The Fighting Irish and Blue Devils are off to 1-2 starts. The Irish fell behind by double digits in losses to Texas and Michigan State and rallied in both games but couldnt pull out victories. Coach Brian Kelly blames a lack of urgency for Notre Dames uneven play.We do some really good things, and then we do some really sloppy things. To be the kind of football team we want to be, we have to eliminate that, he said.Duke coach David Cutcliffe is looking for more consistency offensively and cutting down on turnovers with 10 so far, second most among FBS schools.If we can accomplish those two things, we have a chance of having a really good offensive football team, he said.Quarterback Daniel Jones said the Blue Devils need to execute better.It doesnt really matter who the opponent is or kind of what theyre doing. Its about us executing every single play and raising our level of consistency, he said.Defensively, the Blue Devils gave up seven passes that produced 245 yards in a 24-13 loss to Northwestern last week. Cutcliffe said those few plays have overshadowed better defensive play.Were playing better defense and people that dont know us might look at me like I have three heads, he said.Other things to watch for when Duke plays at Notre Dame:KICKS OFFDukes kickers are struggling. AJ Reed has missed all three field goals hes tried and also has missed a point-after attempt. Punter Austin Parker has twice fumbled snaps, including one against Northwestern with the score tied 7-7 and he was tackled on the 44-yard line. Northwestern scored on the next play. Cutcliffe said hes trying not to make an issue of either.As soon as you make it a huge issue, then you have people trembling, he said.THIRTY SOMETHINGThe 36 points scored by Michigan State last week were the fewest allowed by the Irish against Power Five conference opponentss in four games dating back to last season.dddddddddddd. Overall, the Irish have given up 30 or more points in six of its past eight games against Power Five teams.WELCOME BACKCutcliffe worked briefly at Notre Dame during Charlie Weis first season in 2005, but resigned about five months later because he hadnt fully recovered from triple bypass surgery. Cutcliffe said he was involved mainly in recruiting. He was asked this week about how fervent the Irish fan base is. He told reporters it might be a better question for athletic director Kevin White, who was athletic director at Notre Dame from 2000-08.I have one response: Not a chance, White said.Cutcliffe said he has great respect for Notre Dame and said the pressure to perform at any traditional football power is intense. He said fans expect teams to be near perfect.The pace Alabamas been on over the last few years has put the onus on all (the) elite 10-15 teams, he said.SACK DISCREPANCYDuke is tied for third in the nation with 14 sacks while the Irish are tied for last with none. DeVon Edwards, a 5-foot-9, 180-pound safety, has three of Dukes sacks. Cutcliffe describes Edwards as unbelievably strong.So when he does get his hands on the quarterback, theyre going down, he said.CLEARED TO PLAYKelly said the school has held disciplinary hearings for four players who were arrested in August on misdemeanor charges of marijuana possession along with safety Max Redfield, who was dismissed from the team. He said starting linebacker Tevon Coney and three reserves -- running back Dexter Williams, wide receiver Kevin Stepherson and cornerback Ashton White -- all remain eligible to play.---AP Sports Writer Joedy McCreary in Durham, North Carolina, contributed to this report.---Online: The APs college football page: http://collegfootball.ap.org ' ' '
