on current form, ireland are the team to beat after a brilliant 2018 so far. they're second in the world rankings, because they were the best team in the six nations and won the grand slam. only the third time in irish history. they backed it up with a historic series win over australia injune and it is notjust this international success that has been so good for irish rugby. add to that leinster‘s proili and european champions cup double and irish rugby has never been in better health. they start against italy in chicago. wales have to continue on their future without sam warburton, their captain for so long. they are starting a new chapter. their key test will be against australia. they haven't beaten australia since 2008. that is a run stretching back 13 matches.

the two teams are in the same pool at the world cup injapan. that is for the second world cup in a row. however, warren gatland's side saturday against scotland on saturday. they're a team run by gregor townsend and he has continued to take the scots on an upward curve and they finished third in the six nations with wins over england and france. but this is where the squad will start to take place. you can't play yourself into the squad now, you can maybe play yourself out of it. but there is a lot of rugby to go. we have the challenge of these four tests and in the back of our minds if players grab their opportunity and show they can thrive at international level, they have more chance of going to japan. and here's a reminder of what's coming up tomorrow afternoo. wales against scotland is on bbc one coverage starts at 2:00

bringing us tomorrow. with me are michael booker, deputy editor at the daily express and rachel cunliffe, comment and features editor at city am. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. let's start with the times which says the prime minister is considering a plan to cut university tuition fees, the move is described as a challenge to labour's policy which is to abolish the charges altogether. the i leads with news of new testing for breast cancer which the paper says has the potential to significantly reduce deaths. the telegraph's top story are comments made by the head

of the organisation which represents children in care — the effect rising success rates of ivf are having on adoption. the financial times says britain's richest man is in talks to take over the ford factory in bridgend as part of a plan to develop a new off—road vehicle at the site. the guardian features comments from staff at sir philip green's arcadia group, who allege there was a climate of fear at the company. the daily mail reports on the damages paid out to broadcaster paul gambicini after prosecutors wrongly accused him of sex offences. the daily mirror carries the story of a home office investigation into claims a pupil at a school in suffolk is actually an asylum seeker fully grown man.

it is confusing but we will discuss that in a moment. finally, the daily express leads with reports that many pensioners are withdrawing from their retirement savings leading to worries that they may not have enough money later in life. a variety of front pages. let's start off michael and rachel with tuition fees. rachel you got very excited about this story, did new?” did. i had strong feelings about this because of my personal views on this because of my personal views on this have changed. there is a new government plan to cut tuition fees currently over £9,000 a year to 6500, it is theresa may's proposal and theoretically what she wants to do is help attract young voters especially becausejeremy corbyn is very popular with younger voters and promised in the last election that he would cut tuition fees

completely. that is a political reason for doing it. it is quite damning the numbers here. it says the move would cost the treasury £3 billion a year and either we take cap on student numbers which we do not want or leave universities with a third less income from their fees and it has been damned by university vice chancellors, politicians and experts who say this is a ridiculous proposal. but it sounds good to the kids, doesn't it? last time i checked all those kids who voted for corbyn did not come into downing street. they may not be the great thing to do. but some young people will think, " thing to do. but some young people will think," i will vote tory then, i what i have to pay that money." people who say this is a no win no fee education, they say it is not a debt to get the payback. but that pay £25,000 a year and then after that it pay £25,000 a year and then after thatitis pay £25,000 a year and then after that it is 9% of what you earn off that. people say it is not really a debt. after 30 years it is killed

off entirely. there has been a change in the view of it in some places but i think that headline figure and the fact they will cut it, they want to abolish it altogether but i do not think that will happen. this is only a review that has been done and they will report to the department for education injanuary. report to the department for education in january. but report to the department for education injanuary. but this is week to test the water and see what people think of this and what the reaction as. there will be a lot of young people who see it as a debt and a millstone that people will leave the university out £50,000 in the red with this. it is a great idea to try and attract young people. but whether it does, if that means them over for theresa may, i am not quite sure saga if the cheap offering education is something that people are interested in... they will not go for the cut at the 6500. they want to cut altogether. you can't compete with a less good version of that. the key is the line that says it will hit poor students

the hardest because under the present system many students don't pay back their loans at all, cancel it after 30 years. actually they are subsidized by student graduates who do better. the universities use some of that money to offer reimburse raise and a grant and to help disadvantaged students and in scotla nd disadvantaged students and in scotland where they don't have skittish —— the scottish tuition fees for scotland, low income applicants from low income families have a less chance of getting into university than anger. the proposal so university than anger. the proposal so that it will be good for social mobility has the opposite effect so it charges yet —— young people tour the tories because labour is often better. and universities would be left with less money. the idea is that income to the chairman... that will never happen. they say it is a knife but that the chairman would step in and do something about it. there is a story on the i that they

we re there is a story on the i that they were arda bankrupt. we would just see your universities in the area. they have a great line there that says about public finances for universities and how the pressure to spend it on all other things. it says it could become a choice between dying babies and evil fringe and you know put it beware that decision will go. interesting how that will hurt low income families. i received bursary when i could not work in my final year. i had to put into that photo gear and i cannot rely on a parent so it is worrying because that does help students get from week to week sometimes.” because that does help students get from week to week sometimes. i would not have been able to go to university had not been for the grant. i was lucky to have gone in those days. my brother was two use all their hate is what —— was one of the first and my family to go. we lived in the northeast, we all started going to university. it was quite fun at the same time. the

option was there so do is.” quite fun at the same time. the option was there so do is. i think a lot of us would not have gone to university had we thought about this because a lot of our families said they do not want £9,000 a year hanging over you. going get a job. that big headline figure has put people off so going back to the £6,500, that might help still in some ways but if it does stop people in social mobility as i do notice a terrible thing. like you said it is just a review. that was the front of the times... you think she is hearing our feedback now? west turned to the daily mirror. do we have or has run the story at? the headline, how is there a 30 road man and my maths class and this went out on snapchat this message basically. this is stoke high school in ipswich. this 15—year—old is supposed to be an asylum seeker from iran. he has a full beard and looks

like a 30—year—old man which is what it said on the snapchat message. there are pupils there who believe this lad reading the local newspaper version of it says that he has admitted to them that he is over 15 and he is here to get his gcs ease because his qualifications do not qualify him for anything in this country. that is one allegation that has been made. —— g csc dow safeguarding a liberal kids hang out with a 30 romance, we do not know his background. —— 15 euros kids. asylu m his background. —— 15 euros kids. asylum seekers do say that they come here. it is up to the schools who had to take these. do think schools are where? they must be aware of and could tell a from a teenager.”
