New Zealand made a quick start in their bid for a third straight Rugby Sevens World Series triumph, winning both of their matches on the opening day of the Las Vegas Sevens on Friday. New Zealand, South Africa, Australia, Kenya and Argentina all won both of their opening day matches, but reigning series champions Fiji were stunned by Samoa in their opening contest.Savelio Ropatis late try lifted Samoa to a dramatic 28-24 victory over their Pacific rivals, who rebounded with a comfortable 42-12 win over France. Englands day got off to a rocky start as they had to battle back from a 19-5 deficit to salvage a 19-19 draw with Japan.Two tries in the final two minutes, the second converted by Tom Mitchell, gained the draw, but in Englands second match - the last of the day - Joe Nayacavou sealed a superb win for Scotland with a try on the last play of a 24-14 victory that knocked England out of the running for the Cup. England needed a last-minute Philip Burgess try and Tom Mitchell conversion to salvage a draw against Japan New Zealand, whose victories at Wellington and Sydney in the last two stops in the series pulled them level with Fiji and South Africa at the top of the standings, opened the tournament at Sam Boyd Stadium with a 42-7 victory over Portugal.They followed up with a 38-0 win over Russia and in their final Pool A match, they will take on Kenya, who also went two-for-two on Friday, as did Australia in Pool B, Argentina in Pool C and South Africa in Pool D.Bryan Habana, South Africas leading try-scorer in Tests with 64, returned to Sevens after a 12-year hiatus as South Africa notched victories over Canada and Wales.

Sami Khedira Jersey . -- Anaheim Ducks captain and leading scorer Ryan Getzlaf has been scratched from Sunday nights game against the Vancouver Canucks because of an upper-body injury. Lamar Jackson stumbled down the stretch, leaving the rest of the field one last chance to catch him in the Heisman Trophy race.An avalanche of sacks and turnovers the last two weeks have taken some of the luster off an otherwise spectacular season for the Louisville quarterback.His numbers still stack up with the best in the country this season and some of the best in recent college football history. But he has been on the losing side of his final two regular-season games and no player who has won the Heisman has picked up the trophy on a two-game skid since Tim Brown of Notre Dame in 1987.Working against Jackson is that on championship weekend, when there are few games and many Heisman voters are paying closer attention than they have all season, he is out of the game.Meanwhile, Clemsons Deshaun Watson, Washingtons Jake Browning and Oklahomas Baker Mayfield and Dede Westbrook are playing in high-stakes games, with a chance to make lasting impression.Ballots are due Monday and the finalists will be announced later that same day. The ceremony is Dec. 10.Jackson still leads the AP panels voting in the final Heisman Watch of the season. The only difference this week is that for the first time, he did not receive all seven first-place votes from the panel. He got six.
