6:33 pm
drama and all the games over the weekend ending in that fierce rivalry between england and scotland. i know 6 million people may have been watching back in the uk but there were some question marks over the amount of people at the stadium in nice mac. —— nice. despite reports that it would be sold out, there was confusion in between i believe the messages about where the tickets were coming from and how many tickets were actually released within the stadium. it will be interesting to see how many people turn out where they are ‘in the ‘ in the uk and cheaper and closer in the uk and cheaper and less expensive than nice for families and fans to get to. in terms of the game itself england had a great first half. they threw it all at scotland, very early early on. ava are penalty called for nikki to perish. she scored to put england
6:34 pm
ahead early on. they were testing that scottish defence and then alan white made a 2—0 by the prey. scotla nd white made a 2—0 by the prey. scotland regrouped and recovered at half—time and they perform much better in the second half. the coach will be proud of the performance but there was a disgruntled at that second performance by england. he says there's a lot to be done before talking about may be a potential workup title. i suppose from scotla nd workup title. i suppose from scotland bonsai prospective their first ever world cup. they put the pressure on england. they certainly did and we remember that they lost so miserably to england when they were a different squad and were missing key players. this was a game where they came into it in much betterform
6:35 pm
this was a game where they came into it in much better form with this was a game where they came into it in much betterform with much more attacking talent upfront particularly with aaron cuthbert. and a new manager and shelley mccarron who has a new field with the squad. they were disappointed in the squad. they were disappointed in the first half performance and they believe the va our call was controversial —— controversial. that did disrupt their rhythm. they felt that in the first half but there was plenty of positive to take in the second half. they have moved on tojapan in the second half. they have moved on to japan next on friday in their second group game and our reporter jane dougal is there. the climate here in reims may suit the scotland squad better than the balmy degrees they had to play in nice. they will say in a chateau around a 40 minute drive n. of the

ce ntre around a 40 minute drive n. of the centre and get away from the distractions this mediaeval town has to offer. last nights policy decision was heart —— harsh but there were many positives to take from a 2—1 loss against the third—best country the world include in the fact that there have been no reports of injuries out of the scotland cap — — reports of injuries out of the scotland cap —— camp after a fairly physical match against him in. but even the tights growing does not make up fora even the tights growing does not make up for a lack of points scotland must now lead that defeat in nice and turn their attentions to japan here in reims on friday and that will be another tough test. japan got to the last world cup final only to be beaten by the world number ones the usa. therefore has dipped slightly since then but with strength and depth in their squad, they are not to be underestimated and scotland know that if they are to get out of group d, then they will have to bring their best on friday. jane dougal in it reims. just to keep you updated on argentina and japan, it is goalless in the second

half. that will suit scotland note down for some i am here in reims because the defending champions usa get their campaign under way tomorrow kicking off against thailand. the last time they met in 2016, usa were 9—0 winners. i think the challenges will come further down the line for this defending champions team. sarah mulkerrins, thank you for some hopefully that stadium will busy up now. and that game between japan and stadium will busy up now. and that game betweenjapan and argentina continues on bbc two right now. lets have a quick look at the rest of today's sport news now. the west indies and south africa appointed piece after their abandoned world cup game for some over seven and half overs were both. they stop play and the game was called off a sub south africa will probably have to win their five remaining matches to qualify for the semifinals. better news from the england camp wherejobs better news from the england camp where jobs but where better news from the england camp wherejobs but where is ristorante well to england after sustaining heavy —— joss butler after sustaining heavy bruising. he will

6:39 pm
challenging for the top but effectively he led from pole and for 48 whole laps before he got to this section in the track in montreal here. turns three and four where sebastian vettel veered off the track and then drifting back on he impeded lewis hamilton and made the britain break and retreat. we look at the rules in a minute. but let's look at the incident and you can judge for yourselves. this was onboard with hamilton first of all. effectively what is up for debate here and what is so subjective in this incident isjust here and what is so subjective in this incident is just how much hamilton was impeded, how dangerous it was for the britain to have vettel fear crosses pathos on vettel ci’oss vettel fear crosses pathos on vettel cross the line in first place but immediately, it was announced he had been giving a five second penalty by the steward and therefore hamilton 01’ the steward and therefore hamilton or croston second was given the title and if that wasn't offered enough, vettel then make sure that eve ryo ne enough, vettel then make sure that everyone knew his take about that
6:40 pm
decision. here he is dragging the number one board in front of hamilton pond site restate placing it in the empty space where his car should be. he went on to say that formula 1 has lost its way. these are the rules and parameters the judges are working within for insta nce judges are working within for instance like this when drivers come off the track. they are effectively looking to see how safe it is, if you gain an advantage or how manoeuvres are judged to proceed. they're strictly prohibited. formula 1 gets a lot of people talking on social media. this has been the general reaction. the former route driver alan mcnish saying... but we have heard from a more recent form of a champion in the last few hours. he actually supports this decision stop with my father said to me it is probably 60—40, 60 penalty,
6:41 pm
49. and i said why 49 and he said because he was out of control. he had different stars on everything. i said finei had different stars on everything. i said fine i know that but so what? you still had to return safely and if you're out of control than you are not returning safely. the penalty is in it's not about excuse i was out of control or —— control and add dirty tyres and a condensing goes hamilton. not a valid excuse unfortunate. the penalty is full deserved stop to that is niko roz burke, the 2016 formula 1 champion. coming out in support of the stewards in montreal. this has been much more emotionally charged for sebastian vettel because of the difficulties he's had for many months now. it could still be more emotionally charged as the week goes on because he still has an appeal watch that distance be judged and could see him given the race title. now he is well behind any title race that the mercedes drivers have absolutely dominated. in fact there
6:42 pm
have only been two races of the seven in this 2019 chamfer chip and which have not been a mercedes 1—2 with those two drivers bought us on hamilton. for sebastian vettel this winless run stretches back to august of last year. he has i a grand prix since belgium back in the 2018 season. he has had mistakes at a cost embraces notjust this season but in the back end of the 2018 season as well that cost him a shot at the title. louisville is in steered clear. ferreri have not won a races here and as we were saying it has been plenty of mistakes and this five second penalty most recently. that has been the difference of five for sebastian vettel and those team restate his drivers who already look like they are looking ready to win. joe linsky, thank you very much. still to come on sportsday, the 1971's england unoffical women's football team are reunited for the first time in 48 years. ladies! laughter.
6:43 pm
oh, god! to women's rugby now with the rugby super series set the third major gets under way this year and if golf is a state of mind, mcelroy should be calm for. he claimed his sixth title of the pj open yesterday for some storming ahead of the pack by winning seven shots and putting him in good stead for this week's us open and he wasn't the only northern irishman wasn't the only northern irishman was something to celebrate as nigel ringling reports. when worry mcelroy brings his a—game, there is no competition. commentator: 0h, competition. commentator: oh, my. the holyrood gulf war in top form is a sight to behold and mcelroy destroyed the field with a stunning ride of 61. nine under par
6:44 pm
and 22 under overall to complete the triple crown of the three oldest pga tournaments, the open, the us open and now the canadian open a fate only five other greats of the game can match. —— a feat. only five other greats of the game can match. -- a feat. this is what i feel i can do. i've been able to do it before. it was nice to get back to that feeling. it's been a while since i won by a few shots, i think is going back to quail hollow in charlotte back in 2015. i've been able to do this before and i feel if ijust get able to do this before and i feel if i just get myself able to do this before and i feel if ijust get myself in the right place, i will hopefully be able to do it more often and produce the sort of golf that i've produced over the weekend. meanwhile graham mcdowell secured his spot at the open chip chip in his hometown of port rush after finishing in a tie for h. commentator: go home to his home course! just
6:45 pm
awesome. it answers the questions for me. it means i can go to pebble beach and forget about that last one and go to the irish and scottish open and focus on those as well and start getting my game in shape and getting ready for paul russia should be cool. at the us open and pope beach where mcdowell triumphed nine yea rs beach where mcdowell triumphed nine years ago beach where mcdowell triumphed nine yea rs ago starts beach where mcdowell triumphed nine years ago starts this thursday. —— pebble beach. to women's rugby now with the rugby super series set to get under way in san diego later this month, today the england squad has been announced. it includes the uncapped duo of chloe edwards and clara nielson as the red roses look to build on their six nations grand slam success. it won't be easy though with captain sarah hunter admitting this tournament will be harder than a world cup. you probably would not play the top five sides in the world during a world cup campaign. so it gives us a great chance to actually see where we are at. we did have a great six nations and we can only play the opposition in front of us but now we're
6:46 pm
going halfway across the world and playing the best teams that there are and it is our chance to show just what we're capable and find out where we are and how we then need to move on in terms of looking at the big picture of two years' time. the republic of ireland welcomed gibraltar to the year 2020 call fire hoping for a far more comfort books france and the one they endured on the rock back in march. back then they grind out a scrappy one happens or when but manager nick mccarthy insists they won't be looking to put ona insists they won't be looking to put on a show in dublin. we should be winning three, four, five. we need to play the game and sever that ta kes to play the game and sever that takes us. but take nothing for granted. supporters can presume it might be an easy game but as players, you can never do that because as players everybody knows football is a crazy game and you do not want to be the team to speed. the captain shamus: there.
6:47 pm
before we go, some history for you. with england and scotland's world cup campaign under way, it's a good time to remind you that the women's world cup only became an officially recognised contest in the 19905. before then, women played in unofficial teams at makeshift tournaments. the bbc‘s jayne mccubbin has been to meet some of the 1971 england squad, who went from playing in a field in luton to a packed stadium in mexico. long before today's champions, there were the trailblazers like carol wilson. and it all started here. it did, yeah. chilton valley ladies. playing to crowds of? oh, six? and a dog. but in 1971, carol stepped out in front of a crowd of around 95,000 in mexico's azteca stadium as the captain of an unofficial england world cup squad. when was the last time you saw the team? 48 years ago.
6:48 pm
have you ever seen any footage? i've seen nothing, no. we've got a treat. fantastic, fantastic. grainy footage shows the girls arriving in mexico, vast crowds in the stadium to see them play. oh, my god! a competition which to this day holds the record attendance at any women's game. is it emotional? brace yourself then. ladies! laughter. oh, god! for the very first time in almost 50 years, we've been able to reunite captain with her team. i was 16, we were just overwhelmed, it was just such a big occasion. we came downstairs off the plane and all lights were in our faces and i leaned back to one of the girls and said, "there's
6:49 pm
someone famous on this plane." and it was us. but while mexico went wild, britain had turned its back. i think there was one photographer. the fa was just dead against us and when we came back, i was banned for three months from playing. and about a year later, i gave up. football. that is tragic! in fact, they all faced a ban for daring to represent the country. they'd been led by maverick manager harry batt, a visionary who created a women's national team when the official governing body still hadn't gotten around to creating their own. i feel very fortunate but i think of all the girls that never got the opportunity in their lives just because somebody wants to ban them. i'm the one in the middle with the ponytail. i don't understand. this is me at the end. these were the women that dared to dream big
6:50 pm
when others lacked that vision. i was born too soon! if i was born and was sort of 15, 16, the world would be my oyster and i want that for my granddaughters. applause. these were the trailblazers and the rule breakers who beat a path for today's game. and this is me — captain, 1971. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. get in! all cheering. they have still got it they have still got a thank them for the showing the show industry. tonight the toronto raptors host the golden state warriors in game five of the nba finals. the raptors needed just one win to claim the first and be crowned by any team outside of the united states. they hold a 3—1 series lead over the two time defending champions but warriors of star man steph curry hasn't given up
