Premiership Rugby bosses have called for a swift resolution to the unsustainable Test season.The Aviva Premierships chief executive Mark McCafferty has challenged rugbys top administrators to thrash out a new long-term deal to solve conflict in the global calendar.The existing international fixture agreements expire after the 2019 World Cup in Japan, with New Zealand hinting they would refuse a renewal under the current status quo.Guinness PRO12 chiefs have suggested delaying the start of the RBS 6 Nations by six weeks to allow club seasons to be completed in advance - but McCafferty insisted Premiership Rugby do not consider that a solution.Rejecting the pain of moving the Six Nations, McCafferty said: We dont like that particular idea, but we do have some of our own ideas and concepts.But we think that the best thing to do is to get all the main stakeholders in one building at one time and to work through it, because weve got some fairly strong views ourselves about separating the club and the international calendar more.Thats the next part of our development, to try to get a greater distinction there between the international and the club game.Thats one concept, but weve also got to listen to others. I think the international season structure is unsustainable as it is at the moment.Its coming to a head for sure. Were talking about what happens after the World Cup in Japan in 2019, so weve got to focus a few years out.There are parts of the global game where there is opportunity that needs to be developed, and opportunity needs to be given to certain parts of the game that are potentially growing.And as ever there are some threats to the game which need to be addressed. So all of those have got to go into the mix, and I think thats coming to a conclusion.But I dont think you can really make any progress by just lobbing out individual ideas there, without getting in a room and trying to work through it.Its very complicated, its very inter-related, and nobody really can act unilaterally, weve got to do it collaboratively.Premiership Rugby officially launched its new season at Twickenham on Thursday, revealing a new deal to run until 2020 with long-term sponsor Land Rover.While the Celtic and Italian PRO12 league has already confirmed it will explore the potential to add a franchise in the United States, Premiership Rugby will not.McCafferty insisted the Premiership will not expand its teams beyond England, but also reconfirmed plans to stage another league fixture in the US in the coming campaign.We are an English league, thats where our strength is. Weve certainly no plans to change, he said. Well look to grow our profile in the States for sure, and weve made a couple of big breakthroughs on that last season.Its about gaining profile for the Premiership competition in the States rather than basing any teams there.Were just putting together some last-minute details on our fixture in the US for the season. It will be a few weeks before were able to confirm everything, but it will happen.Custom Dallas Cowboys Jerseys . PAUL, Minn. Tony Dorsett Youth Jersey .

The freshman from Vaughan, Ont.ORLANDO, Fla. -- So much has been made about the process in this first season of the Orlando Magic under Frank Vogel.There are just no shortcuts in the climb toward respectability for the Magic. And after slow starts in their first four games, Orlando put together its most complete game this season in a 102-94 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Thursday night.Led by Evan Fourniers 29 points on 10-of-15 shooting, the Magic were effective on offense and held DeMarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay in check during the second half to come up with their second straight win.It was better tonight obviously, Fournier said. We were pretty good defensively. The last four games we started the game super flat and had a 10-point deficit by the first quarter.The Magic never trailed Sacramento by more than eight points. Orlando brought the offensive pressure for a change by building its lead to 13 points with Aaron Gordon, Serge Ibaka and Jeff Green all hitting timely shots.There are no guarantees early in the season but these guys are working to gel to come together as a group on the court and to try to do what I am asking them to do, said Vogel, whose team improved to 2-3. That takes a little time, its a process.Late in the second quarter, Vogel turned to his bench of veterans that includes Green, D.J. Augustin, C.J. Watson and Bismack Biyombo to reclaim the lead for good. Bismack was a force with his interior defense, blocking two shots and changing several others, while Augustin and Green both came up with big baskets to give the team a spark.But as big as the baskets were, the Magics defense was even bigger in the second half. Cousins seemed unstoppable in the first half with Ibaka guarding him, but in the fourth quarter Vogel put Nikola Vucevic on Cousins to limit his effectiveness in the paint. Cousins finished with 33 points but only managed eight in the critical fourth quarter once Vucevic was switched on hiim.ddddddddddddordon was also huge against the more physical Gay in the second half. Gay only had four points in the second half.This is one of the few complete performances that Ive seen being with the Orlando Magic so that is very inspiring and reassuring that this team can be great, said Gordon, who had 13 points and 10 rebounds.Sacramento coach Dave Joerger liked the fight in his team, but felt the continued issues with turnovers was the determining factor. The Kings (2-4) committed 14 turnovers after coming in averaging 15 per game.They just got too many second chances with our turnovers and too many second chances on the offensive glass, said Joerger, whose team lost its third straight to start a five-game trip. Thats the story of the game.TIP-INSKings: The Kings signed veteran free agent G Jordan Farmar to a contract on Tuesday in hopes of adding some flexibility to the backcourt. ...The NBA announced Wednesday that F Matt Barnes has been fined $15,000 for directing inappropriate language at game officials during the Kings 108-96 overtime loss at Miami on Tuesday.Magic: The Magic have made at least one 3-pointer in 743 consecutive games dating to March 17, 2007.
