LONDON -- A year ago, Jacksonville Jaguars coach Gus Bradley noticed the tempo and energy among his players increase as their first practice at Londons Allianz Park neared an end. That effort preceded the Jaguars first win in three appearances at Wembley Stadium, a 34-31 victory over the Buffalo Bills.On Friday, no more than seven hours after the Jaguars touched down in their home away from home, Bradley observed a similar level of enthusiasm at practice. If the same outcome occurs on Sunday, when Jacksonville faces the Indianapolis Colts, it would undoubtedly do wonders for Bradley and his team.The Jaguars are 0-3 for the fifth time in franchise history and the second time in parts of four seasons under Bradley. A loss to the Colts (1-2), the last team Jacksonville beat, likely will not bode well for the coachs future with the team, especially with its bye week looming.I mean, I feel good every week, but just to come here and see it, especially this practice -- to see it start off a little bit slow and then to see how they got their legs underneath them a little bit, even in a short time, just our focus has been really, really good -- really good this week, Bradley said.For a team trying to find any semblance of consistency, Bradley and the Jaguars front office have done their part in making sure the schedule offers some familiarity. The teams travel and practice itinerary is the same as it was a year ago, and on Saturday, when the Jaguars convene for their final walkthrough, Bradley is planning on once again giving a speech about the tradition and history of Wembley Stadium.The Jaguars even asked for an intradivisional matchup, only the second in what will be the 15th game in the NFLs overseas series, in an attempt to capitalize upon their familiarity -- and the Colts lack of it as first-time visitors.I wouldnt say its routine yet, but you know, we have done it enough so players that have been here know what to expect, Bradley said. But youre always going to have new players that this is the first time. (Defensive end) Malik Jackson, this is his first time going through something like this, and I think the players, being able to talk to him and being able to explain the environment, is kind of cool.What would be even better for Jacksonville, of course, would be returning home with a victory. Teams looking to make coaching changes frequently do so as they enter the bye week, giving the staff extra time to figure out how to move on from the changes.Bradley is 12-39 since being hired as the Jaguars coach in 2013, but in what is shaping up as a muddy AFC South, its not impossible to think Jacksonville could end up salvaging the season if it were to beat Indianapolis.Guys are kind of taking it upon themselves (to fix things), quarterback Blake Bortles said. Not in the sense of pressing, `We need to win now, but just in a sense of, `What weve done hasnt worked or been successful, so lets figure out, rather than point fingers, try to come up with different ideas and solve whats going wrong. Fix it, and try to become more effective and efficient.Bortles set a franchise record with 35 touchdown passes a year ago, but he has thrown for just five touchdowns while being intercepted six times in his first three games. The offense, as a whole, has stagnated, ranking in the bottom third of all teams in several major categories.That hasnt dampened the quarterbacks enthusiasm for Sunday, which he thinks could be the impetus the Jaguars need to shake out of their struggles.Im excited, Bortles said. I think the people over here, its different. I dont know if they pay that much attention, and I think if youre a Jaguars fan in London, youve got to be pretty (darn) loyal, so I think thats kind of cool. Win or lose, you show up and support us, and were going to have fun.Game notes TE Julius Thomas (elbow) and OLB Dan Skuda (hip) are considered questionable to face the Colts, while DE Jared Odrick (triceps) and TE Ben Koyack (knee) were ruled out as they did not travel with the team. Also missing is wide receivers coach Jerry Sullivan, who has been battling an illness. ... Sundays game would have been the last in the Jaguars original four-year commitment to playing in London, but the team extended that agreement in October and will continue to play in the city through the 2020 season. ...

The promise of more mountains to climb has tempted Rugby World Cup-winning All Blacks coach Steve Hansen into extending his contract with New Zealand Rugby until the 2019 tournament.Hansens unparalleled record of 52 wins from 57 Tests made it easy for the board to reach a unanimous decision, NZR chief executive Steve Tew said on Monday.Steves winning record is unsurpassed in the modern era, he said.Hansens ability to grow the team through selection and to inspire players to reach greater heights played a key part in the NZR boards decision.Hansen told media he had thought long and hard about standing down following the All Blacks 34-17 Rugby World Cup final win over Australia in October last year.I often get asked, why would you go back when youve climbed the mountain? he said.The simple answer, as I had more time to think about it, was that I dont know if we have climbed the highest mountain.There are still mountains to be climbed - we can still get better, and I can still get better as a coach.Hansen said his decision took time, as he thought it through to make sure it was right for hiis family, for himself and for the team.ddddddddddddI had to ask a couple of questions - did I have the energy, passion and commitment to get up and drive this team the way it needs to be driven?The recent Welsh series, won 3-0 by the All Blacks, confirmed that he did, and the lure of winning a third successive Rugby World Cup, at the 2019 event in Japan, provided extra incentive.Three in a row - its never been done before, and its a challenge this team will really enjoy.Hansen, who was appointed head coach in 2012, wouldnt entirely rule on the possibility of staying on for the 2023 World Cup, pointing to 94-year-old New Zealand athletics coach Arch Jelley as an example of what was possible.But theres only one Arch Jelley, so I wont be coaching at 94, I can promise you that.Its not even worthwhile me thinking about that. I think the contract runs through to March 2020, and Im comfortable with that.After the World Cup in 2019, therell be decisions to be made. ' ' '
