The Wallabies have rejected suggestions they will prioritise a historic grand slam win over this weekends clash with France, with Michael Cheika arguing every decision made is done with the sole goal of winning Tests.Cheika is expected to make sweeping changes to the starting XV for Saturdays Test at Stade de France, with several stars expected to be rested for the all-important fixtures against Ireland and England to follow.Victories in those two matches would secure a first grand slam since 1984 - currently the Wallabies only successful grand slam result from nine attempts.Cheika knows how valuable that success would be for this team and for Australian rugby, but the thought of going into any Test match half-cocked rankles him.Im not going to just blank the chat of a grand slam and everything like that. I know thats very important, he said in Paris on Monday.But every time we play Test footy its probably the be all and end all for us at this level.I know that probably looks sideways, but its not club footy, its different. Youve got to make sure that whatever decisions we make, theyre all made with the intent of winning a Test match.Cheika has memories of his last spring tour, in 2014, where a first-up victory over Wales was quickly forgotten when they were stunned by France the following week.Cheika believes his team lost focus and, as a result, that defeat fed into losses to Ireland and England as the tour ended in disappointment.He says the lessons learned on that trip, and a get-out-of-jail, wake-up-call win over Scotland last weekend, will ensure his team isnt underdone on Saturday.As much as we felt like we were probably in the middle of (playing our best footy) last week (against Scotland), we didnt - because our performance focus wasnt there, Cheika said.If we start thinking about the bigger picture issues well lose sight of what weve got to do tomorrow.I can assure you from having coached over here and now having coached teams coming here, that if you take your eye off the ball for a day and you rock up to Stade de France in front of 80,000 French people, youll go home accordingly.We want to be ready to play some better football than we played against Scotland.Cheika is loath to refer to any prospective changes this week as part of a rotation, but foreshadowed there would be a different starting lineup to that which faced Scotland - not least of all because of a tour-ending knee injury to key lock Adam Coleman.New faces - potentially including some of the eight who joined the squad in Paris after completing Barbarians duties - will get a chance to prove themselves in the Test arena.I dont think we played as well against Scotland as we did against Wales and I think that some other players should have the opportunity to get in there and have a go at it, Cheika said.

Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006.

LOUIS -- Valtteri Filppula assisted on three of Tampa Bays four goals, and the Lightning beat the St. Adelaide expect defensive duo Kyle Cheney and Luke Brown to play in their AFL elimination final after emerging unscathed from Wednesdays main training session.Cheney (groin) and Brown (soreness) eased any lingering concern at training ahead of the Crows knockout final against North Melbourne.They moved really well. We did some decent training and they seemed to get through it fine ... I think they will be good to go, Adelaide ruckman Sam Jacobs told reporters.The Crows will make at least two changes to their side with vice-captain Rory Sloane to return from suspension and rebounding half-back Brodie Smith overcoming concussion.Adelaide enter the Adelaide Oval final as hot favourites against a Kangaroos outfit which has won just two of their past 11 games.But the Crows remain wary of the Roos, and particularly their influential ruckman Todd Goldstein who Jacobs rates the best in the business despite Melbournes Max Gawn winning All Australian honours this season.I think hes still thhe best in the game, Jacobs said of his North rival.ddddddddddddObviously Maxy has been great this year but I think Toddy is the most well-rounded and has obviously been at the top of his game for five or 10 years now.I have played a lot of footy against him. We have both had our ups and downs against each other and hopefully this week Im able to compete really well and give our mids first use.Jacobs said he another motive for performing well against Goldstein - making some amends for a poor last outing in Adelaides loss to West Coast which cost the Crows a top-four berth.I personally expect to bounce back well, Jacobs said.Its obviously disappointing not to play well but in the past I have had bad games and I have been able to respond.So Im confident this week I can compete. Obviously Goldy is a really good player so Im going to have to be on my game. ' ' '
