Never has Blake Austin felt as nervous as he did before Canberras history-making NRL semi-final win over Penrith on Saturday night.It was his first NRL game in almost a month, having broken his hand at training in the week of their round 25 clash with Manly.The five-eighth had two metal plates and 16 screws inserted, and only last week completed his first full contact session before getting clearance on Friday to play his former club.I was obviously pretty confident my hand was going to hold up, but training is nothing like a game and I was nervous I was going to let the boys down, he said.I was scared. If I went out there and had to come off early from the hand, Id never forgive myself.Austin said even his wife, Gillian, could sense the stress at home.I had some different nerves to what I normally get before a game heading in, he said.But I got through it and really glad I did.Now I can go to Melbourne and have full confidence that I can get through a game through my hand ... without any fear.Austin showed no fear whatsoever in the 22-12 victory at GIO Stadium on Saturday night, scoring the first try of the game with his trademark dummy and step in the 11th minute.By then, the 25-year-old had well and truly overcome the nerves - which he said disappeared after his first tackle.You have your reservations I suppose, but once I could get that out of the way and it held up well, I was pretty confident, he said.(It was) good to get another try and get my running game back.Austin sent a scare in the first half when he rolled his ankle and was limping heavily.But he carried on and is confident that, if he follows the lead of hooker Josh Hodgson who made a miraculous recovery from a similar injury suffered last week, he will be fully fit for next Saturdays grand final qualifier against the Storm at AAMI Park.Youve just got to get on with it, he said.Ill probably take a leaf out of Hodgos book and make sure I really look after it throughout the week.Its certainly not as severe as his, but Ill just look after it.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Olympic security personnel questioned a female Iranian volleyball fan Saturday when she showed up for a match holding a large sign that read Let Iranian Women Enter Their Stadiums and wearing a white T-shirt with those same words.Darya Safai, who sat in a courtside seat at Maracanazinho arena and briefly cried during the ordeal because it hurts, said Olympic officials pushed her to leave the venue but she was determined to stay put.They said they didnt want the sign in front of the cameras, and they asked us to leave, said Safai, who was with friends also wearing the T-shirts. They even tried to impress me with military people. I think it is a pity they always listen to what the regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran says.This is not the first time I had this experience, but I wont give up because thats what Iranian women do, they keep fighting for their rights.The International Olympic Committee bans political statements at the Games.So with all the things that happened here today at Maracanazinho, I stayed inside because it is my right, she wrote in a text message to The Associated Press.Born in Tehran and now living in Belgium, the 35-year-old Safai is the founder and director of Let Iranian Women Enter Their Stadiums! and an activist against gender discrimination. Women have generally been banned or heavily restricted from attending all-male sports events in Iran.Safai plans to try to bring her cause to Maracanazinho arena again. She woore a headband with the colors of Irans flag and face paint of the flag on each cheek.ddddddddddddFor the next game on Monday we also have tickets and we are going to do the same, Safai said.Irans volleyball team, in its first Olympics, swept Egypt for its second victory in Rio.In 2012, the longtime ban on women from soccer matches in Iran was extended to volleyball. Women have for years been trying to change the long-standing efforts by authorities to enforce strict interpretations of Islamic norms.USA Volleyball chairwoman Lori Okimura has been outspoken on the issue -- even bringing her own Let Iranian Women Enter Their Stadiums T-shirt to Brazil -- and checked in with Safai on Saturday to make sure she was OK.This is not a political statement. This is not a political issue, Okimura said. This, to me, is not about politics; its about gender. Volleyball has always been about equality. Why now are we not sending that same consistent message?Women in Iran saw Safais efforts on TV and appreciated the solidarity, taking to social media to offer their support.The Olympic Spirit, which is against discrimination, is what Iranian women need in their country, Safai said. It should be the right of everyone, men and women, to attend a sports game. It is a pity that women have to travel to Brazil to watch and cheer for their national team.
