	Jeff Young - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jeff Young is a former member of the band Megadeth from 1987 to 1988, replacing original guitarist Chris Poland - now a solo artist.
		A classically trained musician from age six, Young was known to wear his guitar high (like a jazz player), stand very still, staring intensely at his guitar while he played while the rest of the band acted much like other 80's metal bands at the time.
		For a portion of the 90's, Jeff stepped away from his career to deal with the untimely deaths of first his father and later his mother while immersing himself in the further study of classical, flamenco, gypsy jazz and other world music varieties.

		DUNEDIN -- All Blacks wing, Jeff Wilson, perhaps the world's best rugby player -- if it can be measured -- won't dwell on it, but if a try comes his way against England at Carisbrook tomorrow in the first Test against England, it'll complete a small but wonderful chapter in his astonishing playing career.
		Wilson has yet to score a test try on his favourite home turf in Dunedin, but said it had neither crossed his mind nor has he chased one ahead of the team object.
		Wilson scored two tries in his All Blacks debut on the 1993 tour of Britain against London South East Division at Twickenham.

		Wilson only had one test appearance during the season but it was a dramatic one.
		In the Bledisloe Cup test played at night midweek in Sydney Wilson appeared to be heading for what would have been a spectacular matchwinning try when as he was diving to score a desperate tackle by covering Wallaby halfback George Gregan jolted the ball from his arms.
		Some of Wilson's finest football was at fullback and his 1997 NPC performance for Otago against Wellington at Athletic Park is rated as one of the most consummate fullback displays in memory.

		He exemplified the hardworking, no-nonsense rugby player New Zealanders loved and stood for the qualities of egalitarianism and innovation of which they were proud.
		Wellington wingers Stu Wilson and Bernie Fraser were similarly beloved in the 1980s, particularly when they emphasised their cultural equality with public renditions of Ebony and Ivory.
		But it is when they attend a rugby match, have their spines tingled by the haka, and watch the likes of Tana Umaga, dreadlocks swinging, cutting a swathe through the red jerseys that they will get the strongest inkling of what it is like to be a New Zealander.

		But Elliott is not in favour of his star player risking injury when his cricket career is taking off again.
		While Otago Cricket is technically Wilson's employer, it could not prevent Wilson playing in the rugby game as his provincial contract only runs from September to April.

		Four years ago, a gigantic 20-year-old New Zealander became rugby’s first superstar with a series of explosive performances in the 1995 World Cup that made him a household name from Dublin to Dunedin.
		He’s been pushing the four of us [Jeff Wilson, Christian Cullen, Tana Umaga and Lomu himself] to give him the options that he wants by October.
		You can’t take three great players like that out of the team and expect to win five games against the top rugby-playing nations of the world.

	Rugby Coaching Notes - Back Play
		You only have to draw it out to see that the looping player has to move faster than the inside man to get into position and it is this extra speed that creates the strike.
		This creates a two-on-one situation in microcosm and if the extra man is looping player or a blind-side wing or 15 entering the line from behind his necessarily greater pace is often enough to penetrate.
		First phase implies a measured, organized set-up, all players on both sides in position and 20m of space between backlines at line-outs and, say, 15m at scrums with a good liklihood of quick, clean ball.

	Jeff Wilson - New Zealand Rugby Player - Rugby-Heroes.net
		In 1997 Jeff Wilson and New Zealand continued where they had left off in 1996 by laying waste to all before them.
		First of all there were the five tries he scored under the lights against Fiji in Albany, just one away from equalling Marc Ellis's record haul against Japan.
		In that season the gifted back three of Christian Cullen, Jeff Wilson and Jonah Lomu managed a paltry two tries between them, an incredible statistic given their output during the previous two years.

	Matthew Cooper - New Zealand Rugby Player - Rugby-Heroes.net
		Brother of former All Black Greg Cooper, Matthew was a big, hard running fullback who made his full international debut at the age of 25 against Ireland in Wellington, some five years after he had first tasted life in the All Black squad.
		Determined to make the most of the opportunity, Cooper boldly remarked before his first test that he was "aiming to score twenty points in the test".
		Coach Laurie Mains responded to the setback by moving Jeff Wilson to fullback and the youngster had a shocker, missing five of eight kicks.

		Suppose that a football team (with one coach) generated $3,000,000 in revenues and that $2,000,000 was spent to watch the home team players play, $500,000 was spent to watch the coach strategize, and $500,000 was spent to experience the stadium.
		Up until 1963, college football players were expected to play on both offense and defense, and the most important attribute for a football player was quickness and stamina, not sheer strength.
		This development was perfect for pro football, which no longer had to guess what a player's best position might be when he was drafted; by the time the player turned pro, he already had two or more years of experience at his particular position.

		The skipper was at the non-strikers' end with two balls to go and might have reached his hundred had Hussey taken a single off the penultimate ball instead of belting it for six.
