BRUGES, Belgium -- Leicester opened its first Champions League campaign with a comfortable 3-0 victory at Belgian champion Club Brugge on Wednesday, with Riyad Mahrez scoring twice. Spurs Hats .The unlikely English Premier League champion took its charmed form into Europe, with Marc Albrighton scoring an easy goal after just five minutes. The Brugge defense misjudged a long throw-in and the winger only had to steer the ball into an empty net.A bad pass forced veteran Timmy Simons to bring Jamie Vardy down near the penalty box in the 28th minute and Mahrez curled the free kick home to make the rest of the Group G match a stroll for Leicester.Mahrez scored his second goal from the penalty spot in the 61st minute, after Vardy had been floored by the goalkeeper on a breakaway.With the Belgian champion offering little resistance, it proved an easy night for Leicester, and a perfect respite from its Premier League troubles, where it has already lost twice in four games.On Wednesday, the nerves were all for Bruges, which also had a bad start following its championship season, lingering in 10th place after six matches.Add the difference in quality between the English and Belgian leagues, and Leicester ran away with the match. Leicester coach Claudio Ranieri even had the luxury of trying out new signing Islam Slimani, who did not thrill but looked solid.It was an important win for us, said Ranieri.The victory gave Leicester the lead in its group after FC Porto and Copenhagen drew 1-1.

Thirtieth birthdays can be both marvellous and depressing affairs; it really depends on a persons individual outlook.Does one reflect on the memories of your 20s and the prospect of whats to come, or instead bemoan the loss of the 20-something years and why its ALL DOWNHILL FROM HERE?This Wednesday in Sydney, members of the 1986 Wallabies -- the last Australia team to defeat the All Blacks at Eden Park -- will gather in Sydney to do a bit of both.It will be a 30th birthday of sorts - more so an anniversary -- but as they reflect on memories of that 22-9 triumph under Alan Jones, the topic will almost certainly turn to the future and just exactly where Australian rugby and this current crop of Wallabies are at.On the strength of their 2016 performances, the topic inspires anything but a party mood.With just three wins from nine Tests this season, the Wallabies are enduring one of their worst campaigns of the professional era.And then theres their opposition this weekend: An All Blacks side who havent been beaten since August 2015, when dusted by Australia in Sydney, and for whom an 18th straight win will set a record for consecutive victories by a Tier One team and confirm their place as one of the greatest sides -- if not the greatest -- in the games history.Such has been the quality of the All Blacks rugby in 2016, and the 30-year drought that extends back to 1986, that not even only the most one-eyed Australians can give the Wallabies hope of victory in Auckland on Saturday.In fact, such is the gulf in class and form that bookmakers UBET have installed the All Blacks as $1.07 favourites with the Wallabies friendless at $8.While there is despair at the prospects of an Australian victory, there is opportunity in the forlorn situation the Wallabies find themselves in. They must remind Australia and Australians why theyre relevant.With thee AFL and NRL seasons done, the Wallabies have only the A-League in competition for eyeballs this Saturday. Manu Ginobili Jersey. But the high-octane start that competition has made this season, particularly Tim Cahills astonishing goal in last Saturdays Melbourne derby, means the Wallabies must deliver a performance that inspires hope for the future.Put simply, Australian rugby cannot afford to drift any further toward the obscurity of irrelevancy.There have been signs of improvement in the Wallabies game since they were completely dominated in twin Bledisloe defeats in August.Wins over South Africa and Argentina in Brisbane and Perth respectively, and a further victory over the Pumas in London, were patchy, but there were periods of positive play that gave hope for a brighter future.So while the Wallabies may be at horrifically long odds to defeat the All Blacks, there is no reason why they cant turn in a performance that tests the two-time reigning world champions and at least increase a few New Zealand pulse rates when considering the prospect of owning the world record outright.If the Wallabies can do that on a weekend when the Australian sporting air is thin, and back it up with further strong performances in Europe -- where victories will be tough to come by but undoubtedly more attainable -- then 2016 may not be totally condemned to the scrapheap.And it might just be enough to set things in the right direction so the 1986 Eden Park Wallabies might have long forgotten the Auckland hoodoo when they meet in 10 years time to mark the 40th anniversary of their win.On, Saturday however, the Wallabies just need to show why theyre relevant. And 30 then, as they say, may just prove to be the new 20 for Australian rugby.
