A bitter Stephen Larkham believes his Brumbies should be in the Super Rugby semi-finals, despite losing 15-9 to the Highlanders.The coach questioned some of the refereeing decisions in the closing stages of a see-sawing quarter-final at GIO Stadium on Friday and felt his side deserved to walk away winners.The ACT franchise were denied a try to replacement winger Lausii Taliauli in the 75th minute after both the on-field and television match officials ruled they could not see the ball being grounded.If awarded, the Brumbies wouldve been just one point behind and couldve taken the lead with a conversion.It was clearly a try for everyone who saw it, Larkham said.Its really disappointing that a game comes down to that. We should be in the semi-finals right now.I give credit where its due and I think the Highlanders played really good football but I thought we played better tonight and I think we deserve that win.Larkham was visibly frustrated and emotional, especially given it was the last game for a number of big-name players - including co-captain Stephen Moore, playmaker Matt Toomua and superstar flanker David Pocock.Moore is heading back to the Queensland Reds next season, while Toomua is joining English outfit Leicester and Pocock is beginning a 12-month sabbatical.Injured winger Joe Tomane, Michael Dowsett and Michael Wells are also leaving.It marked the first time the Brumbies havent advanced past the opening week of the playoffs since 2012, when they missed the finals altogether.It also leaves Australia without a title contender, given they were the only team to survive the regular season after finishing top of the local conference.It was one of the better games weve had this year. It was a see-sawing battle and the guys did everything right to win that game, Larkham said.Its incredibly frustrating now to know that we lost it that way.For the Highlanders it means a chance to win back-to-back titles.The victory - secured with just two tries via winger Waisake Naholo and No.8 Liam Squire - broke a decade-long losing streak in the nations capital.Coach Jamie Joseph and skipper Ben Smith said they both initially felt Taliaulis effort was a try but were glad the call went their way.It was a real difficult game right from the start, Joseph said.It was a real ding-dong arm wrestle but Im really proud of the team in terms of how they finished the end.It couldve gone either way really, but weve earned another week.

HOUSTON -- The Houston Dynamo scored for the first time in a month and won for the first time in nearly two months Saturday, lifting a weight off their collective shoulders. Ricardo Clark scored in the 59th minute and the Houston Dynamo snapped a seven-game winless streak with a 1-0 win over the Philadelphia Union on Saturday night. "We know whats been going on," Houston coach Dominic Kinnear said. "We have been peppered with questions over the last couple weeks about not winning. This is a proud group, and we get a little annoyed by it. ... Any time you win -- whether it is a great win or the teams played poorly and you get a little lucky -- you walk off the field with a little enjoyment out of it." Houston (7-6-5) had not won since beating D.C. United 4-0 on May 8. "Its nice to get one," said Houston goalkeeper Tally Hall, who finished with three saves. "Sometimes it is not pretty in the end. I dont think we finished the game great. You look at it, its three points and we havent had that in a while. We walk away with smiles on our faces." Clark also put an end to Houstons franchise record 388-minute scoreless streak when he headed in Jermaine Taylors cross from the left sideline from 8 yards out. Clark said Taylors service on the goal was right where he needed it to be, and he was trying to make the most of it. "Its three points," Clark said. "At the end of the day, tthat is all we wanted.dddddddddddd We could have finished a couple more chances." Houston had not scored since Warren Creavalles goal at Columbus on June 1. The Dynamos previous record scoreless streak was 273 minutes in May 2007. "It just gives us our confidence and gets us back to our winning ways," Houston forward Giles Barnes said. "It gets us back up the table and puts pressure on everyone on top of us. Obviously, when you start scoring and obviously we had more chances, so the mood was a lot different." Philadelphia (7-6-6) had its five-game unbeaten streak snapped, dropping its first game since losing 5-3 at Montreal on May 25. "Youre going to win some, and youre going to lose some, especially when you try to play in these kind of conditions, third game in eight days, its just tough," Philadelphia coach John Hackworth said. "So, thought our team put out a fantastic effort, just wasnt there tonight." Philadelphias best chance came before halftime when Hall stopped Aaron Wheelers shot from the left box and Conor Caseys rebound attempt went high. Casey said the Union did not establish what they wanted to do, and in the end, they didnt do enough to get a result. "Today just wasnt a very good day in general, but I think the past month weve played pretty consistent," Casey said. "So, just get back to what we were doing and take it from there." cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
