A suspected rib injury to skipper Dane Coles has cast a shadow over the Hurricanes six-try 41-0 Super Rugby quarter-final win over the Sharks in Wellington.Coles left the field early in the second half in serious pain, and coach Chris Boyd was afterwards subdued in his assessment of the Hurricanes most comprehensive win of the season.Im distraught for Dane Coles - thats put a bit of a dampener on it for us, Boyd said.Hes done something to a rib or a cartilage, so hes battling, hes off to hospital.The win means the Hurricanes become the second Kiwi team to make next weeks semi-finals, joining the Highlanders after they edged the Brumbies 15-9 in Canberra on Friday.It is also the first time in Super Rugby history that a side has been kept scoreless in a playoff.?A masterful kicking display from All Blacks pivot Beauden Barrett, combined with halfback TJ Perenaras superb running game laid the base for the comprehensive win.Boyd afterwards paid tribute to both players.I thought Beaudens kicking game was a masterclass, and I think thats TJs best game this year - he was really good.Barretts radar was spot on right from the start on Saturday night- he landed a 13th minute penalty into the teeth of the north-westerly gale then five minutes later unleashed a raking punt down the left wing which set up prop Loni Uhila for the first try.A darting Perenara run down the blindside from an attacking scrum in the 21st minute sent James Marshall over in the corner, the Hurricanes taking the resulting 13-0 lead into halftime.The loss of Coles soon after the restart looked ominous, but the Hurricanes responded by running in three tries in 12 minutes to lead 34-0 as the hour mark ticked over.Perenara featured in all three, sparking the first with a booming run down the left before offloading for Woodward to cross.He made a telling break from some aimless Sharks kicking to set up the second for lock Vaea Fifita then scored the third himself, slicing through from an Uhila quick tap.The Hurricanes were unrelenting during the closing 20 minutes, flanker Brad Shields diving over right on the final whistle to wrap up the win.Boyd said the Hurricanes familiarity with the galeforce winds and sweeping rain had played a big part in the win.Our guys are used to playing in these conditions - you get the odd zephyr in Wellington, and we were able to adapt to conditions probably better than they were.

Adidas NMD R1 Rea .Y. -- Leading 3-0 with only 11:25 left, the Colorado Avalanche committed a seemingly meaningless penalty to give the New York Islanders a power play. Australias top stars insist Michael Cheika will reserve all his fury for his misfiring Wallabies -- not England boss Eddie Jones.Wallabies head coach Cheika has traded a clutch of verbal volleys with England counterpart Jones in the build-up to Saturdays Twickenham Test clash.Ex-Australia coach Jones lit the fuse by claiming Australia scrummage illegally, before Cheika struck back, asserting his old Randwick teammate has tarnished his reputation in his homeland.Taskmaster Australia boss Cheika has been tipped to focus on living up to his hardman reputation with his squad this week however, rather than waste time being wound up by Jones media tactics.Well you havent seen anything, if you reckon Cheiks fired up in a media conference, said Wallabies lock Rob Simmons, of Cheikas famous no-nonsense coaching approach.I havent really noticed any difference in his mood, because he gets stuck into us forwards every day.Australia botched a host of chances in Saturdays 27-24 defeat to Ireland in Dublin -- and fly-half Bernard Foley admitted those errors have left Cheika fuming, not Jones media volleys.I think Cheiks pretty fired up in every meeting we have with him, so theres not much change there, said Foley.Hes far more disappointed over the loss on the weekend.We watched the review yesterday and it wasnt that pretty. We left a lot of opportunities out there and left a lot of chances that we just didnt take.And that was the disappointing thing.It took us 35 minutes to get into the game. Against a quality side like Ireland you cant afford to do that.We created a lot of opportunnities and we didnt start playing footy until half an hour in, or that second half.dddddddddddd.So thats something weve addressed and have to be better at.When this sides playing good footy we match it with anyone in the world.But we have to do that for the full 80 minutes rather than just one half of rugby; thats not enough at this level.Its such a big occasion playing England at Twickenham, they are going really well, and its a great challenge for us. So thats where the excitement comes from.Playmaker Foley masterminded Australias 33-13 thumping of England that dumped the hosts out of the World Cup at Twickenham in 2015.Now the 27-year-old will be desperate to inflict yet more pain on England, especially after new boss Jones led his side to a three-nil Test series win in Australia in June.While Foley has rejected the idea of revenge for the Wallabies June humbling down under, he believes Cheikas side have matured since the summer series.A lot of guys were on debut or in Test footy for the first set-up back in June, said Foley, in a year where Australia have handed out 13 debuts.So just as a squad being able to gel real combinations, and just spend time together, thats been massive for us.This years been very character-building for this side, and I think thats shown.I think guys will walk away from this year having learnt a lot and will be far better in the future because of it.Weve matured a lot and now need to reap the benefits of that.
