as the former Celtic player helped the Saints pick up three clean sheets

A try-scoring double from Wallabies winger Dane Haylett-Petty put them within striking distance, but Western Force let a third win of the season slip away, losing 30-29 to the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein.Replacement fly-half Peter Grant horribly shanked an 80th-minute penalty attempt to win the game, and the Force then put 23 phases together after the final siren, only to cough up possession and allow the home side to put the ball into touch.After Israel Folau enjoyed another day out at outside centre in the Waratahs big win over the Sunwolves in Tokyo, the exceptional game of Wallabies teammate Haylett-Petty at full-back for the Force will ensure discussions only intensify on whether Folau should wear the gold No.13 jersey.Haylett-Petty was the standout player on the field, running for 209 metres, scoring an outstanding individual try in the 50th minute after a quick lineout throw 60 metres out, and crossing 15 minutes later from a scrum set-play that put the Force well within sight of the win.Two Grant penalties saw the Force take the lead for the first time with seven minutes to play, only to lose it again with three minutes on the clock.Just for us in the first half, it was a bit inaccurate, Haylett-Petty said, as he collected their man of the match award.Credit to the Cheetahs, they really ran us around and got us blowing. We came out firing in that second half and tried to claw our way back, but you just cant come back from 17 points down.We just let them have too many easy turnovers in that first half and that forced us to defend for too long. We held onto the ball in the second half for longer passages, and were able to score some points.The Force were rocked by the late withdrawal of Wallabies lock Adam Coleman shortly before kick-off, and the Cheetahs enjoyed ascendancy from the first scrum of the night, only further magnified when the West Australians lost prop Tetera Faulkner after 20 minutes.Defence was the major issue in the first half, the Force conceding four tries and a 27-10 scoreline as the teams went to the sheds. The visitors also missed 17 tackles in the first stanza, and the Cheetahs enjoyed nine clean breaks, lining up at times to score the try. Swell Bottles Ireland .

SAINT PAUL, Minn. -- As 50th anniversary celebrations go, the one underway among the Los Angeles Kings has been a notable bust thus far.The Kings, who were one-sixth of the NHLs notable expansion in 1967, are celebrating a half-century on the ice this season. That celebration has included two losses in the first two games, and the loss of their star goaltender indefinitely.The Kings (0-2-0) head off on their first multi-game road trip of the season looking not only for wins, but for answers about who may step up to fill the defensive void left when goalie Jonathan Quick went down in the opening period of their first game of the season. Hes expected to miss weeks, if not months, due to an ailment in the groin area, and has given way to the tandem of Jeff Zatkoff and Peter Budaj in the Los Angeles crease.One of those two will look to stymie the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday when the Kings visit the Twin Cities. Los Angeles also be looking for goal support from an offense that has scored three times in the first two games.Kings coach Darryl Sutter faces that challenge along with trying to get his team into a rhythm of practices and games early in a new season as they venture outside California for the first time.After a day off, which is obviously required now, youre trying to get the flow, Sutter told LA Kings Insider.

It was a milestone for the new coach, who is instilling his style of play on a team thats nearly identical to the one which lost to Dallas in the opening round of the playoffs last spring.Theyre getting it, Boudreau said.
