wales wouldn't be in this position. a play—off for the play—offs. he might have been missing, but wales still posed an attacking threat through aaron ramsey. this was a crunch tie, joe allen discovered that all too literally. passion was replaced by tension as wales created the openings. round—off shot them. attention turned to turmoil, james mcclea n attention turned to turmoil, james mcclean delivered the counterpunch, their only shot on target in the second half, the only one that found the back of the net. their defence proved impenetrable, with wales reduced to pot shots and then tears. their world cup journey ends reduced to pot shots and then tears. their world cupjourney ends in cardiff, the irish road to russia continues. the future of gordon strachan will be discussed by the scottish fa next week, unable to guide his team to a play—off place after their draw with

slovenia. stephen thompson believes it is time for a change in managing. it is time for him to go, he has failed to take us to two national? international tournaments, and this talk of it being down to genetics is just nonsensical. harry kane's performances for england and tottenham have seen him short—listed for the ballon d'or, the award given to the world's best player. 43 goals in 37 games for club and country this year has paved the way for his inclusion. eden hazard, david de gea, philippe coutinho, sadio mane, kevin de bruyne and n'golo kante, have also been chosen. there was a notable absentee from england's rugby league world cup squad. zak hardaker, the castleford full—back, after he was suspended for failing a drugs test. to discuss that and the names who have been selected, here's hugh woozencroft and our rugby league correspondent dave woods. i

, yes, plenty of big stories in by , yes, plenty of big stories in rugby league today, and dave, nothing bigger than this man, zak hardaker, bad news for him. a lot of speculation building up to the weekend as to why he had been left out of castleford's grand final team, but it was because he failed a judge test in september after a game against leeds. we understand the drug in question was cocaine, so depending on the mitigating circumstances, we are looking at a two year ban. that would be bad news, a very talented player, but his career has been marred by an discretion is. yes, right from when he broke onto the scene in 2010 with featherstone and then he moved to leeds, we realised what a great talent he was, young player of the into thousand and 12, but he mist out on the world cup in 2013 because

of off the field indiscretions. —— young player of the year in 2012. he was effectively sacked by leeds because of issues on and off the field. this latest one rule is out of the world cup as well, so a great shame for a very talented player. the world cup squad has been named, zak hardaker is not in it, but sean o'loughlin will be leading the 2a man party to australia, tell us if there are notable inclusions. this isa there are notable inclusions. this is a very good squad, it could take england to the final potentially. ben currie is an interesting one, only played a couple of games this yearfor only played a couple of games this year for warrington because of an acl injury, but a terrific player with huge potential, likely to see him at centre. jonny lomax is another interesting conclusion, slight hamstring injury at the moment, the st helens full—back, but they believe in him an awful lot. the return to the international fold ofjames the return to the international fold of james roby, who

the return to the international fold ofjames roby, who has not played for england for the last couple of yea rs. for england for the last couple of years. and the big—name, sam burgess, but only one of his twin brothers, george has been left out of the squad, so a very handy looking england squad. big hopes for them, but someone else they have left out, we expect so much from sam tomkins, not in the squad. he is one of the players who cuts through from by of the players who cuts through from rugby league, but he has had a lot of injuries and missed out on international selection because of that. we have been playing for wigan, but not at the level that the england coach would want to see for an england player. he will travelto his home country with very high hopes indeed. thank you forjoining us, the england women's rugby league squad has also been named, all of the details on the bbc sport website and out. —— and app. british number three kyle edmund beatjiri vesely in the opening round of the shanghai masters. the 22—year—old suffered an early

promoter, arrives to provide a confidence building pep talk. the movement and the jab. she is a stellar amateur, she has listened and learned, she has got power, she is vicious, so ready for the professional game, 26 years old, she has got a very bright future in front of her. tonight she is going to put on a real display. chantelle did not disappoint. in front of a raucous crowd. chantelle cameron! no sooner was raucous crowd. chantelle cameron! no sooner was she in the ring than she was landing some serious blows on a french opponent, who was quickly in retreat. it lasted just over a minute. it was the left that court, and then the right. knowing that everybody was their funds to watch me, my family, friends, ijust

funds to watch me, my family, friends, i just want to show them what i can do. —— everybody was there. it was in here that i was really nervous. as soon as i saw the lights and the ring, i was fine, but in here! lights and the ring, i was fine, but in here i felt as sick as anything, the things going through my head. could you believe it was over as quickly as it was? i was a bit shocked, i went expecting first round. chantelle cameron has certainly proved she will be one to watch, a world title fight is surely just a few months away. nights like this are onlyjust the start. absolutely, what a performance, by all accounts the first of many. less than three months after suffering a heart attack, olympic gold medal winning hockey head coach danny kerry has returned to full time work with the english women's squad. the a6—year—old, who was in south africa with the team at the time, says he never considered walking away from the sport but knows he now needs to adapt his approach to life.

iam thinking i am thinking about, particularly internment is, about when i wake up in the morning, having a high—quality routine in the morning, getting me into the right space, rather than just immediate busyness. when i am out cycling, i try to sort of smell the roses a little bit more, try not to bejust of smell the roses a little bit more, try not to be just hooning around, but enjoying the scenery, having a bit of meditation, if you like, through the exercise, rather than seeing it as a means to an end. rather than just health benefits, the wider enjoyment of being in the great outdoors, something i am going to do more. you can see more of that interview in the features section of the bbc sport website. that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are larisa brown, defence editor of the daily mail, and the broadcasterjohn stapleton. great to have you both in, particularly wonderful because you are from preston, you are from old, andi are from preston, you are from old, and i am from bolton, top team, no southern jesse is and i am from bolton, top team, no southernjesse is tonight! let's have a look at some of the front pages! the i leads with that warning from theresa may the there could be no deal with the eu, as brexit talks are batted back and forward. the metro says there could be chaos at ferry ports as the uk plans for its own customs arrangements. the ft touches on tory eurosceptics being left angered by the prospect the european court ofjustice having the final say during the brexit transition years.

the mail says bad lifestyles are crippling the nhs, with a warning from the health watchdog that services are "straining at the seams". the mirror also has that warning, it says the nhs is in danger of colla pse says the nhs is in danger of collapse as it celebrates its 70th anniversary next week. the telegraph pictures dame judi dench anniversary next week. the telegraph pictures damejudi dench ooh, it says, has offered her whole —— wholehearted support for actresses assaulted by harvey weinstein. the guardian also reports on those claims, but it leads on the cost of treating worldwide obesity, which could top more than $1.2 trillion from 2025. the times says the label junior doctorfaces from 2025. the times says the label junior doctor faces banishment from the nhs after the country's head medic backed a campaign to change job titles that it says have been condemned as confusing and demeaning. all right, we'll start

with the ft, a bit of a stark warning from theresa may, john, may details no deal trade plan as high—stakes details no deal trade plan as high—sta kes tussle looms. details no deal trade plan as high—stakes tussle looms. they have been planning for no deal, they would have been done if they want, but it is front and centre now. that is what emerged from the speech in the house of commons this afternoon, you are right, otherwise it sounds a bit like watching had to say in florence, but this and what you had to say about the european court of justice was, i suppose, the surprise element of it, saying there is the prospect of no deal and we are preparing for it. many people would say it is a sensible insurance policy, for something quite likely to happen, others may say it is an indication that mrs may is veering at least that this will end rather quickly. a lack of progress identified by jeremy corbyn, quickly. a lack of progress identified byjeremy corbyn, he says 15 or 16 months since the referendum, what has happened? next to nothing is his allegation, many

people would agree, so it is possible that there will be no deal, and the implication of that for business and the rest of us... could be scary. but some on her own backbenchers are saying this is why she has been forthright about the possibility of no deal, some are saying this is how you negotiate, you have a bottom line, you make it clear that if we do not get what we need, what will benefit both of us, then we are willing to walk away.|j have got to say she has got to say she is prepared to walk away, that is how negotiations work. and she has to tell her backbenchers as well. i think they will think this isa well. i think they will think this is a welcome move to spell this out any white paper is published today, that we have a plan, and when we leave in march 2019, if there is not a deal, this is what we will do. the ftis a deal, this is what we will do. the ft is talking about how we would avoid gridlike at the
