Less than three months after being parachuted into the New Zealand hot-seat, David Kidwell says hes relishing the opportunity to replicate his playing success in the coaching box in Sundays Four Nations final.And if there was ever any evidence needed that Kidwell is enjoying the coaching caper its the way he has kept his cards close to his chest this week in regards to his team for the final.Rather than name his team one through 17, Kidwell named a 19-man squad in alphabetical order, including both Te Maire Martin and Tohu Harris.The duo are battling to fill the five-eighth role for New Zealand and replace Thomas Leuluai, who broke his jaw against Scotland.Kidwell was part of two of the Kiwi teams greatest moments when they stunned Australia in the Four Nations final in Leeds in 2005 then again three years later when they lifted the World Cup against the Kangaroos in Brisbane.During a nomadic playing career that took in spells at Adelaide Rams, Parramatta, Warrington, Sydney Roosters, Melbourne and South Sydney, Kidwell was a powerful second-rower with an aggressive streak.Although hes won just one of this first four matches as coach and was held to a draw by Scotland, Kidwell said hes thriving on the opportunity to coach his country in a final having served as an assistant to Steve Kearney for the last two years.Ive loved every minute of it, Kidwell told AAP.Its a job where weve had games where weve come back from adversity and you learn a lot about yourself.You may be down, but you cant show that to the players. You have to pick the team up when they are down and move onto the next challenge.My philosophy is that I am learning every day. I am picking up stuff every day, little things here and there from different kinds of sports and different kind of people.The Kiwis can often mix brilliance with inconsistency two traits exemplified by mercurial halfback Shaun Johnson and Kidwell admitted finding the balance between coaching and man-managing his team is something hes still getting to grips with.I havent found the difference between coaching and playing that great, he said.It sounds obvious, but the only major difference is going out on the field. The emotions I feel are the same, mentally you are looking at whether you are preparing your team right.I get more nervous as a coach than I every did as a player. But the most important thing is to not show that to my players.Those nerves are probably down to passion as well. I want the Kiwis to do so well. I am competitor at heart and I love winning.New Zealand: Jordan Kahu, David Fusitua, Solomone Kata, Shaun Kenny-Dowall, Jordan Rapana, Te Maire Martin, Shaun Johnson, Jesse Bromwich (capt), Issac Luke, Adam Blair, Kevin Proctor, Tohu Harris, Jason Taumalolo: Interchange: Lewis Brown, Martin Taupau, Manu Mau, Greg Eastwood Joseph Tapine, James Fisher-Harris Brooks Robinson Jersey Large .

LINCOLN, Neb. -- Coming off an emotional win over Oregon, Nebraskas task this week is to keep its mojo going.We wont talk about Oregon anymore after this day, today, coach Mike Riley said Monday at the start of his news conference.Next up for the 20th-ranked Cornhuskers (3-0) is the Big Ten opener at Northwestern (1-2). Four of the last five meetings have been decided by three points or fewer, with the Wildcats beating Nebraska 30-28 in Lincoln last year.We know what were going to get here, Riley said. This team had a rough start and came back with a good win over Duke. Pat (Fitzgerald) does a great job coaching this team. They are always tough-minded and have won a lot of games, so were looking for a team that is on the rise, I think, and coming back a little bit after a good win.Receiver Jordan Westerkamp said hes not worried about him and his teammates coming out flat after they beat the Ducks 35-32 in one of the Huskers most anticipated home games in years.We beat a real good team in Oregon. They were ranked, and it threw us forward into the rankings, Westerkamp said. We need to take that momentum and keep moving forward into Big Ten play.Nebraska went 3-5 in Big Ten games last season and finished fourth in the West Division. Two of the losses were on the road against conference laggards Purdue and Illinois.There were lessons learned and mistakes the Huskers dont want to repeat, Westerkamp said.On any given day any Big Ten team can beat another Big Ten teeam, he said.dddddddddddd Thats how its been for the last couple years since Ive been here. Its a real smash-mouth conference and a tough conference. Im fairly confident if we continue to do what we do and prepare our tails off like we did for Oregon, we should have no issue going forward.Nebraska has averaged 43 points in its wins over Fresno State, Wyoming and Oregon and has committed only two turnovers.You go into the conference 0-0; you start off fresh, quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. said. We won three games. Now the games that matter the most are here. Were going to treat every game like its a big game.Northwestern, which won 10 games last season, has gotten off to a tough start, losing to Western Michigan and FCS Illinois State and beating Duke 24-13.Quarterback Clayton Thorson has been sacked 11 times behind a struggling offensive line and has completed only 49 percent of his passes.Their quarterback really hurt us last year, Riley said.Thorson broke runs of 68 and 49 yards to set up scores and passed for 177 yards at Memorial Stadium. Memories of that loss should reinforce Rileys message to his team about leaving the win over Oregon in the past.Winning it is a really good thing, he said. We can now only use it (to improve). Everything is ahead of us.---Online:AP college football website: http://www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
