NEW YORK -- Baseball clarified the meaning of possession for infielders trying to turn double plays on forceouts, saying on Friday that they must have complete control of the ball but may drop it after intentionally opening their gloves for transfers to their throwing hands. In the first season of expanded instant replay, when infielders have possession while trying to turn double plays has become controversial. Major League Baseball said the interpretation of the Playing Rules Committee was agreed to by MLB, the players association and the umpires union. MLB said that the committee, chaired by New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson, determined "a legal catch has occurred ... if the fielder had complete control over the ball in his glove, but drops the ball after intentionally opening his glove to make the transfer to his throwing hand." "There is no requirement that the fielder successfully remove the ball from his glove in order for it be ruled a catch," the committee said. "If the fielder drops the ball while attempting to remove it to make a throw, the umpires should rule that the ball had been caught, provided that the fielder had secured it in his glove before attempting the transfer." The committee also said "the umpires will continue to use their judgment as to whether the fielder had complete control over the ball before the transfer."

The All Blacks played their best rugby of recent years when they beat South Africa 38-27 in Johannesburg two weeks ago, clinching the Rugby Championships in a match which has been hailed as one of the best ever played. Having reached such heights, the All Blacks must try to maintain that standard in a dead rubber -- the Bledisloe Cup having already been won -- and against an injury-battered Australia. "We respect the Australians immensely," New Zealand coach Steve Hansen said. "But we understand that this match not only has the challenge of our opponent but also one of the biggest challenges in sport, that is backing up a great performance with another great performance. "This is a challenge this team needs and will help define the progress we are making. If we dont attempt to improve our performance from our last outing, we are vulnerable to being overtaken." Australia is also coming off a good performance, having won 54-17 away to Argentina two weeks ago. Scrumhalf Will Genia will play his 50th test, becoming the 39th Australian player to do so but goalkicking centre Christian Lealiifano is absent. New Zealand-born winger Peter Betham, who plays for the New South Wales, won a Wallabies callup when wingers Joe Tomane and Chris Feauai-Sautia were both ruled out with injuries.dddddddddddd. Matt Toomua has been named at inside centre in place of Lealiifano and flyhalf Quade Cooper will likely take over the goalkicking. Fans at Dunedins indoor stadium, which has a section called "the zoo" for the raucous behaviour of its supporters, are likely to renew their campaign against Cooper, who is deeply disliked in New Zealand. He has a history of poor performances against the All Blacks, stretching back to the semifinals of the 2011 World Cup. Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie, who also coached Cooper at the Queensland Reds, said Genias struggles against New Zealand were overstated. "I dont think he has a problem," he said. "I dont have a problem. If hes there hell do the job. "Part of whats been created is a function of the media liking to talk about that. But he just gets on with playing and thats what hes been doing." New Zealand has been able to choose a side much less dictated by injury than Australias. Veteran centre Conrad Smith has began a four-month "sabbatical" from rugby, so Ben Smith moves from wing to centre and allowing the return of winger Cory Jane after a nine-months injury layoff. Hansen said Jane is "a 43-test veteran who before his injury was by the medias opinion -- and probably my own too -- one of the best wingers in the world. "He hasnt lost any form while hes been injured. What he has lost is his time in the jersey."
