Australia back-rower Boyd Cordner is excited about the prospect of taking on Englands giant forwards in Sundays crucial Four Nations encounter at Londons Olympic Stadium (0100 Monday AEDT).England must win the game to have any chance of securing a spot in the final at Anfield on November 20 with the Kangaroos also needing a victory to rubber stamp their place in the decider.Aside from outstanding Warrington front-rower Chris Hill, all of the English forwards have NRL experience, headlined by the three Burgess brothers and Canterbury skipper James Graham.Canberra duo Josh Hodgson and Elliott Whitehead and recently-departed St George Illawarra forward Mike Cooper will also play and back-rower Cordner said he has huge admiration and respect for the English big men.Any side coached by Wayne Bennett is a tough team and were going to have to prepare our best and play our best footy as well, Cordner said.Theyre captained by Sam Burgess who I think is one of the best players in the game and with him in their forward pack leading the way its going to be a tough challenge.When the three of the Burgesses are on at the same time its hard because they are big guys and they are hard to bring down.But its something we are just going to have to deal with.England lost their first match to New Zealand by a point and were less than convincing in a scratchy win against Scotland.However, Cordner is expecting the hosts to be much-improved in front of whats expected to be a crowd of around 40,000.They have to win and we dont want to lose one, he said.They have some big boys and we have to slow down their middle and then hopefully shut down their strike out wide.Most of the squad flew out to Barcelona on Sunday after the win against New Zealand for a short break and Cordner said it had been a welcome distraction on a long tour.It was good, we had a few days off and went sightseeing, he said.We saw the city a bit. Its good to do that kind of stuff and have a few days off to freshen up and get ready for this weeks game. Kirk Cousins Youth Jersey .

PHILADELPHIA -- Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Chase Utley enjoyed a fairytale return to Philadelphia on Tuesday night.On Wednesday, the Dodgers return to the everyday realities of the National League West race.Utley, a six-time All-Star while playing most of his first 13 seasons with the Phillies, was accorded a standing ovation in his first game in Citizens Bank Park since he was traded for two minor leaguers last Aug. 19.He later hit a solo homer off Philadelphia starter Vince Velasquez, then added a grand slam off reliever Michael Mariot, as the Dodgers rolled to a 15-5 victory. After each homer he acknowledged a curtain call.No doubt a little extra adrenaline is flowing, Utley said. Adrenaline can be your friend at times. There was a lot of adrenaline flowing tonight.On Wednesday the Dodgers, jousting with the San Francisco Giants for the divisional lead, will send left-hander Scott Kazmir (9-6, 4.44) to the mound against rookie right-hander Jake Thompson (1-1, 8.68).The 32-year-old Kazmir pitched well against the Phillies in Los Angeles last week, allowing two runs on four hits over six innings while striking out six and walking three. He was nonetheless tagged with a 6-2 loss, running his career record against Philadelphia to 1-2 with a 5.91 ERA.I was able to make pitches when I needed to and had the changeup today, Kazmir said, according to Major League Baseballs official web site. Thats a tough one. We wanted to pull this one out and have a good off-day, but (we) let this one slip away.Thompson negotiated five innings against Colorado to earn his first major league victory his last time out, inn his first home start.dddddddddddd. Thompson allowed three runs on two hits while striking out six and walking three.Its kind of nice to get the first one out of the way, and hopefully Ill gain a lot more confidence and comfort on the mound and keep it rolling, said Thompson, who had been shelled by the San Diego Padres in his major league debut.Manager Pete Mackanin said Thompson, who threw 87 pitches (just 49 strikes), was a little erratic with his command.Tall order for Thompson to face this team, Mackanin added. This is a darn good hitting team. ... He did a pretty good job. ... He battled through it.Thompson equaled a 114-year-old club record when he struck out four batters in the second inning, the first of which, David Dahl, reached on a wild pitch. Doc White is the only other Philadelphia pitcher to fan four in an inning, having done so on July 21, 1902 against the Brooklyn Dodgers. He has never faced the Dodgers.Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard hit a two-run homer Tuesday, his 18th of the season and the 375th of his career. That moved him past Rocky Colavito and into sole possession of 76th place on the all-time list, but was an afterthought given Utleys return, as well as the outcome.As players we just try to play the game as its supposed to be played, but I think it was something bigger tonight, Howard said. Then for Chase to come back and do what he did tonight, hopefully hes done doing that, but thats just the kind of player he is, and just the kind of guy he is. ' ' '
