Rob Howley hailed his players after Wales put a tough week behind them by beating Argentina at the Principality Stadium.Wales recorded their first victory since March, and ended a run of five successive Test match defeats, by edging out the Pumas 24-20.From our perspective, its been a tough week, and to turn around and win against a Rugby Championship side, the players can be very proud and pleased with their victory, Wales interim head coach Howley said.It was a win against a good Argentina team. The players have delivered. They were outstanding in their preparation, and I cant speak highly enough of the leadership group.Wales had not won since they defeated Italy on the final day of last seasons RBS 6 Nations Championship, losing to England at Twickenham before suffering three defeats in New Zealand and then being walloped by the Wallabies last time out.They are, though, off and running ahead of remaining autumn appointments with Japan and South Africa after a game when the result unquestionably held far more importance than the performance.We kept our composure and patience, and we showed a clinical edge in the second half, Howley added. It was important we put some pride back into that national jersey. I will never question the attitude of our players.For whatever reason, that first-half last week we had never experienced anything like that before, but in fairness to the players this week, they rolled their sleeves up. We sat down as coaches, reflected on the performance, and we needed to make changes.To win against a side that is above us in the (world) rankings is important, but also, to win at home, which was key for us today. We felt in control of the game. It was quite stop-start, but we felt quite comfortable.We were able to control our field position, and we played in the right areas. It has been a tough week, and this gives us confidence. We have won against a very good Argentina side.? New York Mets Jerseys .

Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca! Hi Kerry! Very much enjoy your articles. A question from Game 4. After Chicago scored their fourth goal Tuukka Rask takes the puck and shoots it at the Blackhawks scrum while celebrating a goal. Isnt that an Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalty? I seem to remember in 2009 when the Canadiens played the Washington Capitals in the playoffs Washington scored a goal and Carey Price did the same thing. Price got a penalty for it. This was a turning point last night as there was no call, next shift Chicago takes a penalty, Boston scores a goal and gets right back in the game. Was that a missed call? Thanks, Chris Chris: An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for shooting a puck in the direction of an opponent is always a discretionary call. I would hope that before a referee felt the need to assess a penalty for this act (especially against a goalkeeper) certain conditions would have to be met. For it to be considered a dangerous play the velocity of the shot would have to cross a certain threshold. The accuracy of the shooter would also be taken into account as to if and where the puck struck an opponent. Ron Hextall is one goalie that comes to mind that had the ability to really rip a shot with pin-point accuracy along with the disposition to do so without batting a blocker! Another element that could come into play would be the reaction of the player or players that might take offence to the puck being sent in their direction. If a scrum were to develop as a result of the shot and other penalties were assessed then the Referee would most likely deem the perpetrator of the shot to be the instigator of any subsequent altercation and penalize him accordingly. We have seen an example of this when players take offence to an over-exuberant celebration of a goal scored against them such asa rifle shot gesture into the net. I saw none of these elements present and worthy of a penalty when Tuukka Rask sent a flea flicker toward tthe Hawk celebrants following their fourth goal scored by Marcus Kruger on the odd-man rush.dddddddddddd What I did see however was some justified frustration grab hold of Rask in this high scoring game that resulted from a lack of defensive support after he made an outstanding initial save on this play. Rask had to fully extend both legs in the splits on that first save following a nifty cross-crease deke by Kruger after he took the pass from Michael Frolic. Rasks full extension caused him to fall forward and he needed some help to clear the rebound. None was to be found from Zdeno Chara, the lone defender that dove in an attempt to block the pass from Frolic; from Brad Marchand who skated past the net to Rasks right; or from the hardworking Patrice Bergeron who utilized an uncharacteristic glide path from inside his blue line on the back-check to arrive a moment too late and stop Krugers second attempt from behind the goal line. After the puck entered the net Rask raised both hands to the TD Garden rafters in frustrated disbelief. Once Rask was back on his skates he cleared the puck from his crease with a flick in the direction of the Hawk celebration at the half-wall. In my judgment it would have been a huge overreaction if either Referee had assessed Rask an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Hextall passed the puck with much more authority than that token gesture by Rask! On the Radar Screen from Game 4: This series has already turned out to be a Classic! There were plenty of defensive mistakes made throughout Game 4 by both teams but you cant complain about it being boring. It was a very exciting contest. By and large the excellent Officiating I witnessed last night enhanced the product and the overall entertainment value that this game provided. Players were allowed to compete hard and on the edge yet were penalized when they crossed the line that had been set by Referees Wes McCauley and Dan OHalloran. No one should nit-pick their performance as they have raised the officiating bar for all remaining games. I offer a toot of the whistle for a job well done. ' ' '
