from nowhere. we'd been watching him in club rugby, he'd done particularly well and, again, we thought we'd roll the dice and bring him into the camp to see what he could offer and every week he's just got a little bit better and i think we saw yesterday a display that's only just the start of we saw yesterday a display that's onlyjust the start of his career. this time last year i was fighting for a club contract and if you tell me i'd be in this position going to a world cup this time last year, i'd have said you were crazy. obviously a lot of work to do and really got to kick on now but it's been a crazy journey so far. three months ago, i'd never have thought this, so it's pretty cool to be here. but once it starts settling m, be here. but once it starts settling in, you get messages from people saying well done and it's awesome. something i won't forget. leading up toa something i won't forget. leading up to a first cap will be nervous for anyone, first time playing for that team but once you're on the pitch, i've been with these [ads for the

saints has been awarded with another spot. what a brilliant game he had done debut from the moment he started the singing the national anthem, guide that intensity through the game. got to be absolutely thrilled for those two. if you words on the new faces. but no ben te'o, he was involved in an incident in italy, has had his injury problems over the years. surprise not to seem in the mix? it's really tough and we have the largest play ball in the world so there will be just as many disappointed as there are to be happy to be on it. he was a favourite with eddiejones, he has fallen out of favour, whether that is former or off field incidents i'm not sure. but some of my peers francis who is going, played a good game yesterday. it seems like a lot of these northampton players, courtney lawes has also been brilliant, have had a second birth this season under new management. european solheim cup captain catriona matthew has

of experienced players. as you say, if few new rookies anne van dam, who isa if few new rookies anne van dam, who is a tremendous talent coming on as well. i'm quietly confident in our team. even though we know each other and you see each other every week, but pipes don't always hang out with each other so i think it's great just to get everyone altogether and get people chatting away and get the buzz going for the solheim cup. jofra archer has been facing the media at lord's today, ahead of his likely test debut on wednesday against australia. the fast bowler missed england's defeat in the first ashes test because of a side strain. he's expected to replace the injured james anderson. not my test match debut as yet, if i'm selected i'll be over the moon but for now, i'm not selected so we'll go with that for now. if you play, it will be a new thing for you, bowling over five play, it will be a new thing for you, bowling overfive days. i gatherjustin lynagh said in his press c0 nfe re nce gatherjustin lynagh said in his press conference he thought they might wear you down, what do you

think about that? i don't think you see me play first—class cricket. i think he has another thing coming! great fighting talk! could the impact of winning the first ever w series, be the start of more women getting into motorsport? britain's jamie chadwick, wants that to happen she won the inaugural women's only motor racing series event at the weekend, coming fourth in the final race at brands hatch. the 21—year—old is a development driver for the williams team in formula one and has her eye on ultimately competing in f1, and feels her win can start to open the door for more women to get involved in racing. in an ideal world, it won't exist in several years' time because there will be a lot more women in racing and we won't need things like the w series but i think over the next two yea rs, series but i think over the next two years, ican series but i think over the next two years, i can see expanding, getting more competitive, more girls coming into the series and getting
10:39 pm
involved. the w series has a new audience. it might give a new angle to formula i. audience. it might give a new angle to formula 1. it's amazing, i've been to brands hatch so many times in my careerand been to brands hatch so many times in my career and i've never seen it like it was yesterday. unbelievable. and there for the w series. it will be awesome if they can do something in formula i but who knows. be awesome if they can do something in formula1 but who knows. boxing, next. it's the fight that's been billed the ‘clash of the dunes' the rematch between anthonyjoshua, and andy ruinr, which is set to take place in saudi arabia on december 7th. joshua was sensationally beaten back injune of course. but the decision to host the rematch near riyadh has caused some stir with charities, including amnesty international saying it shouldn't be held there because of saudi's human rights record. you'll hearfrom them in a moment but first here's fight promoter eddie hearn defending the choice. this could change the sport of boxing forever because if saudi arabia invest or better say continue to invest in the sport of boxing, as
10:40 pm
do other countries in that region, then you will see a lot of mega— fights out there. i'm just one of every promoter that's tried to land a mega— fight in this region, i'm just the first one to do it. so the stick comes with that but we made a decision that this was a big moment for the sport of boxing and this is an iconic fight that will go down in history where excited to host it on december the 7th in saudi arabia. human rights need to be on the agenda he of us to everyone that will be viewing this fight, that will be viewing this fight, that will be viewing this fight, that will be interesting in it actually needs to be aware of the awful human rights record that saudi arabia has. one of the top executing countries in the world, systematically discriminates against women. women human rights activists in prison just because of their peaceful activities. carried out bombings in yemen at the moment. terrible human rights torturing in custody. its re cord rights torturing in custody. its record is really abysmal. and that
