Actions might speak louder than words, but not for the Silver Ferns as they prepare for the final Constellation Cup netball Test against Australia on Thursday.The New Zealanders trail the four-match series 2-1, and need an unlikely 25-goal win in Invercargill to wrest the Cup off holders Australia.There had been signs of hope for the Ferns, who bounced back from a first-up 12-goal defeat in Sydney to win the second Test 53-51 in Launceston last week.However, Sundays 62-50 thumping by the Diamonds in Auckland put the Constellation Cup once again out of reach for the Silver Ferns, who have held the trophy just once in the past seven seasons.Assistant coach Yvette McCausland-Durie says theres still plenty at stake in the final Test, the serious work beginning on Tuesday with a stop-start training session which focused more on instruction than on-court action.We were going over clarity of structure - what were the things we did well in Test two, and what were the little details we went away from in Test three which created that confusion and real disconnect for us, McCausland-Durie told NZ Newswire.In tomorrows practice, we hope to be able to talk less and allow them to get that flow, intensity and accuracy.McCausland-Durie and coach Janine Southby are looking for more patience in the fourth Test, a willingness to work the ball around rather than trying to nail the direct route to goal every time.It doesnt matter about scoring quickly, the key is actually to score, McCausland-Durie said.That means being a lot more patient on attack and being prepared to work a lot longer and harder to get the ball to where we want.Defensively, the Silver Ferns couldnt repeat the havoc they wreaked in the second Test, when the return of Anna Harrison played a big part in disrupting the Diamonds path to impressive shooter Caitlin Bassett.The addition of 1.91m goal attack Gretel Tippett to partner the 1.93m Bassett in the shooting circle created a whole new set of problems for New Zealand.The Silver Ferns couldnt shut down Australias smoother, quicker feed into the circle, and werent allowed to reclaim the same speed or space on attack theyd found in Launceston.Defensively, we were not as effective in terms of our dictating - we ended up following and reacting, McCausland-Durie said.They were certainly really physical - they worked hard to push us together into small spaces so we felt kind of tight with the ball.They did a good job - all the things that wed try to do to them, they did to us.

PHILADELPHIA -- Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson has been suspended for 10 games by the NFL for violating the leagues policy on performance-enhancing substances.Johnson will be eligible to return on Dec. 19. Its his second suspension. One more would cost Johnson two years. Johnson appealed the positive test, but an arbiter upheld the ruling.We are disappointed with arbitrator James Carters summary ruling, Johnsons attorney, Steve Zashin, said in a statement Tuesday. We will wait for his formal written opinion. After we review that decision, we will consider all available legal options.In January, Johnson signed a 5-year, $56 million contract that included a $10 million signing bonus and $35.5 million guaranteed. His base salary for this season is $675,000, so he has to forfeit $421,875. The suspension also nullifies his guaranteed money.Eagles executive Howie Rosemaan said the team is very disappointed in Johnson but will welcome him back in December.ddddddddddddis actions have affected the entire organization, Roseman said. We are all working under a clearly defined set of rules and regulations set forth by the NFL in the collective bargaining agreement with the NFLPA.The Eagles (3-1) visit Washington (3-2) on Sunday.Rookie Halapoulavaati Vaita will get an opportunity to replace Johnson in practice this week. Coach Doug Pederson also is considering moving Allen Barbre from left guard to right tackle and inserting Stefen Wisniewski or Isaac Seumalo into the starting lineup at left guard.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP-RobMaaddi ' ' '
