Alofa Alofa marked his first start for his new club with a try as Harlequins secured a deserved 20-9 Aviva Premiership win over Northampton at The Twickenham Stoop. The hosts were on top for much of the contest and have now climbed above Saints to eighth in the table, after making it three wins from six matches this term.Quins made a bright start but failed to capitalise, as fly-half Nick Evans was only able to covert one of three early penalties the hosts earned.

However, the Londoners then scored a beautiful try after 11 minutes when they attacked down the left following a set-piece and some lovely passing involving Evans and Tim Visser ended with Alofa racing away down the left-wing to score.However, Evans missed the subsequent conversion and Stephen Myler got the visitors on the board with a penalty.But Quins were then somewhat unfortunate not to bag another try, Karl Dickson acrobatically touching down a Visser kick-ahead but not quite able to ground the whole ball in play.Northampton got a foothold in the match at that point but, having pulled them to within two points with a second penalty, Myler hit the post with another and then put another one wide just before the interval.Evans had to be taken off at half-time and his replacement Tim Swiel was soon into the action, kicking a penalty to make it 11-6 to Quins after Calum Clark was penalised for hands in the ruck.Man of the match Kyle Sinckler then powered forwards to set up a good attacking position and a long Swiel pass sent Luke Wallace over down the left, but the try was disallowed because Visser obstructed Ken Pisi as he tried to get over and make a tackle. Jamie Roberts applauds the fans at the end of the match Myler then closed the gap to 14-9 with quarter of an hour left but Quins were impressive in the closing stages, setting up camp in the Northampton half.Swier landed another three-pointer to give them breathing space after another dynamic charge from Sinckler and he then made it 20-9 in the dying minutes, after prop Adam Jones had won the penalty, to jubilant roars from the home crowd.Having begun the day second from bottom, a first win over Northampton since May 2013 was very welcome for Quins, who were dealt a blow before kick-off when England prop Joe Marler withdrew due to a back spasm.You can watch Englands tour of Bangladesh, plus Premier League football and the Japan Grand Prix on Sky Sports.

Sources tell TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun the international tournament will likely return in September 2016 rather than 2015.PARIS - Andy Murray clinched a spot in the ATP Finals on Thursday after beating Grigor Dimitrov in straight sets at the Paris Masters and then sent a message to his critics by scribbling bad year on a courtside television camera.Milos Raonic of Thornhill, Ont., also kept his hopes of qualifying for the season-ending tournament alive with a 7-5, 7-6 (7) win over Spains Roberto Bautista Agut.Following a tumultuous year that saw him change coach and recover from a serious back injury, Murray booked his spot at the season-ending tournament in London by reaching the quarterfinals at the Palais Omnisports with a 6-3, 6-3 win over No. 9 seed Dimitrov.Before leaving the court, Murray signed bad year on a camera lens.It wasnt a jibe (at critics), its a bit of fun, he said about his autograph. I mean, people are going to ask me all the time why Ive had such a poor year by my standards. Youre allowed sometimes to say something in response to that. I dont tend to do that often, but, look, its been a hard year, a tough year, but it hasnt been a bad year.After missing last years season-ending tournament following surgery on his back, the eight-seeded Scot pushed hard to qualify for the indoor event for the seventh straight year, winning three titles over the past five weeks.Murray, who slipped from fourth in January to 12th in the rankings last month, reached the semifinals at the French Open then failed to defend its Wimbledon crown and had to wait until September to win his first title of the season at the Shenzhen Open in China.He split with coach Ivan Lendl in March and hired Amelie Mauresmo after Roland Garros.It could have been a lot worse, said Murray after contesting his 22nd match in five weeks. Coming back from surgery is not easy at all, and I learned that. The first few months of this year it was very difficult, and I had to dig deep at the end of this year in some ways to salvage the year, if you like. But its been a good year.ddddddddddddNot been my best year, but I wouldve signed up for being in this position when I had the surgery last year, I think.The Scot was in control throughout against Dimitrov, losing only two points on his first serve as he took a measure of revenge following his loss to the Bulgarian player in the quarterfinals at the All England club this year.Already qualified for the finals, third-seeded Stan Wawrinka failed to serve out the match before losing a 6-7 (2), 7-5, 7-6 (3) to Kevin Anderson in a match lasting nearly three hours as the hard-hitting South-African rallied to advance to the quarterfinals for the first time.I should have won, said Wawrinka, who has been hampered by a virus this week and coughed a lot during his press conference. In the end, I made stupid mistakes, but Im not panicking. Im still Top 4 in the world and I have a Masters to play, a Davis Cup final on clay, which will be totally different from usual tournaments.Since his quarterfinals exit at the U.S. Open, Wawrinka has won only two matches and will travel to London with his form in question. Wawrinka will also be teaming up with his Switzerlands teammate Roger Federer in the Davis Cup final against France from Nov. 21-23 in Lille.This year I had ups and downs that were very high or very low, added the Australian Open champion, who was two points from the match when leading 5-4, 30-0 in the decider. But I wouldnt change anything compared to any other year of my career. I can still play well in the Masters, win the Davis Cup, and the year will be fabulous.Anderson, who hit 18 aces against Wawrinka, will next face Tomas Berdych, who stayed on course for qualifying for the finals for the fifth straight year by beating Feliciano Lopez 7-5, 6-3. Fourth-seeded David Ferrer and No. 6 seed Kei Nishikori also kept alive their hopes of making it to London by defeating Fernando Verdasco and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga respectively. ' ' '
