Pirate Galaxy » said Sunday night that he expected his star junior

The Scarlets made it six league wins in a row thanks to a bonus-point triumph over leaders Leinster in an entertaining Guinness PRO12 encounter in Llanelli.The Scarlets, aided by the 41st-minute sending off of Leinster wing Barry Daly, surged into a 35-8 lead midway through the second half, but to their credit the Irish province battled back with 14 men to snatch a losing bonus point.The hosts ran in five tries to their opponents four, with Rhys Patchell converting all of them.New Zealander Johnny McNicholl made a dream start to his Scarlets debut, the former Crusaders Super Rugby wing crossing for the matchs opening try after only eight minutes.It was a typical poachers effort as he snaffled a pass that hooker Richard Strauss had juggled before racing 40 metres unopposed to the whitewash.Strauss had an immediate chance to make amends, but again his hands let him down, dropping a pass with the line at his mercy.The Scarlets doubled their advantage when Leinster lost second row Mike McCarthy to the sin-bin after a series of infringements, with the home pack rumbling over from a close-range line-out. South African prop Werner Kruger was awarded the score.Skipper Isa Nacewa landed a close-range penalty to get the visitors on the scoreboard, but the Scarlets had their third try on 31 minutes when wing Steffan Evans showed good strength to squeeze over.Steffan Evans could have had another, but spilled a pass with the line in front of him after a great break from scrum-half Jonathan Evans.Instead it was Leinster who had the final word of the half when Strauss this time hung on to a pass after a slick attack that sliced open the home defence to reduce the deficit to 21-8 at the break.But any thoughts of a Leinster comeback evaporated 30 seconds after the restart when Barry Daly was shown a red card for taking out full-back Aled Thomas in mid-air.It led to the home side claiming their fourth try, with man of the match Will Boyde finishing off in the corner after the lively Steffan Evans had twice cut open Leinsters defence.Hooker Ryan Elias ploughed over for the Scarlets fifth try to take his side out of sight, but Leinster were in no mood to throw in the towel.Wing Adam Byrne sliced through for their second try, then replacement Tom Daly dived over for another to put some uneasiness into the home ranks.A Dan Jones penalty settled any Scarlets nerves, but Leinster gained reward for their fightback by snatching a late bonus point when replacement Andrew Porter crossed in the final move of the match.

BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU?All-American running back?Leonard Fournette plans to bypass his senior season and enter the upcoming NFL draft.The junior running back announced his decision on Monday.I will be declaring for the 2017 NFL draft after our bowl game, Fournette wrote in a note to fans on Twitter. I make this announcement now so that there will not be speculation and distractions while we prepare. I want everyone to know that I will forever treasure my experience as a Tiger.Fournette is universally regarded as one of the top prospects in the 2017 draft. ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay ranks Fournette as the No. 1 overall prospect, while ESPNs Mel Kiper Jr. has him second behind only Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett.As a sophomore, Fournette set an SEC record by rushing for 162.8 yards per game -- plus his 1,953 rushing yards last season rank second in conference history behind Alabamas Derrick Henry (2,219).However, he has struggled with nagging ankle issues this season since initially suffering a high-ankle sprain, low-ankle sprain and bone bruise in an August scrimmage. The injuries prevented him from playing in four games and limited his participation in several more.Fournette still rushed for 843 yards and eight touchhdowns in seven games, including a 284-yard effort against Ole Miss that briefly stood as LSUs single-game rushing record before teammate Derrius Guice broke it with 285 yards in the regular-season finale against Texas A&M.dddddddddddd.Fournette sat out that game against the Aggies, and his status for bowl season remained up in the air, although LSU coach Ed Orgeron said Sunday night that he expected his star junior to play if healthy.Hes been at every meeting bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, wanting to go, Orgeron said. Hes always indicated to me that he wants to represent the LSU Tigers in the best way. I dont see any other reason for anything to happen. Now if an injury prevents him, it prevents him. But I think if hes well, hes ready to go, hes going to play.Fournette is the first of several draft-eligible LSU juniors who must make draft decisions ahead of the Jan. 16 deadline. McShay and Kiper both rank LSU junior safety Jamal Adams as the sixth overall prospect, and Tigers underclassmen such as defensive tackle Davon Godchaux and wide receiver Malachi Dupre also have yet to announce their intentions.
