hello and welcome along to sportsday — we're edging ever closer to the knockout stages at the rugby world cup in japan and today, after a major scare, wales made it through to the quarter—finals with a 29 points to 17 win over fiji in oita. it was a captivating contest, wales were 10—nil down at one stage, the teams both had a man sent to the sin bin, wales were left with some serious injury concerns. but ultimately, hat—trick herojosh adams helped propel wales to the win. our sports correspondent katie gornall was at the match. wales always mean that fiji could be dangerous opponents, they were given a real scare here in front of a raucous crowd. a thrilling game, wales had ten days to prepare for

this game against fiji. demand a call... fiji wasted no time scoring their second, that came just minutes later. wales were really, at this point, bg looking a threat. almost every time they went forward. wales did manage to be great, josh adams scored two tries before the break. to get them by contract. they took a narrow lead into half—time and there was no let up after the break. this isa was no let up after the break. this is a bruising, physical encounter. fiji were awarded a penalty try midway through the second half. just as she thought the momentum might be shifting towards that the genes, josh adams scored his hat—trick try. diving into the corner, thatjust allowed wales to get a bit of a foothold into this game. liam williams added a bit of gloss to the scoreline, but i bought a try, securing that bonus point. wales running out 29 points to 17. they

are through to the quarterfinals, with a game to spare. but they have been doing one hell of a battle here. unbelievable individuals and we just here. unbelievable individuals and wejust had to here. unbelievable individuals and we just had to stay in it. we decide to keep trying. get the ball and play through phases and create opportunities. we do not do that enough. it was a tough, great game of rugby, very. well, for scotland — it's now all about a sunday showdown against the hosts japan — after they cruised to a bonus point win over russia in shizoka this morning. the scots must now take four more points from the pool a finale than japan, to reach the quarterfinals. andy swiss watched this game. a scorching day, scotland's fans arrive going to keepers very much on. anything other than victory against russia and their world cup

hopes were banished. so, how about this for the perfect start? adam hastings, son of former captain gavin, settling nerves. russia needed a comeback, but instead found only calamity. first a horrible slip if the tasting is another and if that was a touch of bison, well, watch this. george horne handed a try on a plate, barely 20 minutes gone and scotland already out of sight. but crucially, they needed a fourth try and without a vital bonus point. soon after the break, they got it in style. darcy grimes setting up horn once again and it wasjob done. for now, russia setting up horn once again and it was job done. for now, russia was run ragged. horne completed a impressive hat—trick. a place in the quarterfinals could still be doubts. and so, to what promises to be some showdown. scotland will now have to beat the host japan showdown. scotland will now have to beat the hostjapan in showdown. scotland will now have to beat the host japan in their final group game and even then it could

all come down to bonus points. but at least their world cup hopes are still alive. if we had not got the bonus point tonight, sunday would be an even more difficult. getting that was difficult. getting that bigot score just to keep things interesting for saturday night, as well. but also by the companies of players, knowing that it is to game sound that we have not conceded a trier even a point. it is very encouraging. well, a big concern ahead of the final pool games injapan has been the approaching typhoon hagibis — england and scotland's matches in yokahama this weekend could be under threat. what we do know is that world rugby — the governing body — will provide us with the latest update at 4am our time tomorrow morning, midday in tokyo. until then, things are in limbo with several possibilities.

reschedule or switch location — a move to oita in the south has been explored today — this is now looking unlikely we believe. if a match can't take place at all, then it would be cancelled and the teams would both be awarded two points. this wouldn't have a material impact on england's group — remember they play france on saturday when the typhon is due to make landfall — but a cancelleation would have an impact on pool a — with that scotland—japan showdown on sunday in pool a. —— a cancellation. -- a cancellation. there will be an update at 4am our time. still to come on sportsday... mental wellbeing — arsenal defender emma mitchell opens up for the first time on her experiences and calls for others to feel comfortable to do the same. i want to make it a normal thing that people can have a conversation

like this one, at last you's world cup in russia. but back in their homeland they had been banned from men's sports events for the last 40 yea rs. men's sports events for the last 40 years. that is now set to change the several thousand women allowed to buy tickets for an international and iran this week. the fair will be there watching closely. we are totally focused on making sure women can attend this much on the tenth october and then working just as pragmatically but the federation and the local authorities to ensure women also can attend local matches in leagues and iran going forward. we are firm and clear, we expect album in iran to be able to attend the matches. in recent years the protests against iran's unofficial than has been gathering pace. growing numbers of women are even risking arrest by disguising themselves as men to attend games. but the death of this ban has butted into sharper focus. fifa

but the death of this ban has butted into sharperfocus. fifa has but the death of this ban has butted into sharper focus. fifa has come under increasing pressure. this occasion has spun a spotlight onto which sports bodies are prepared to wield their influence to try and tackle discrimination. the game's passing the player recently highlighting the issue at football's most prestigious awards ceremony. the young iranian woman he eventually set herself on fire because she was not able to go to the game. one activist, the sector of the captain of a rappers pacman game says fifa should have got pathogen. we have been sending letters to fifa for years. —— should have got tougher. does fifa have blood on its hands of this? all of us blood on its hands of this? all of us obey certain by this. we now need to rectify practical solutions to ensure that women had very access. —— on the bus are very saddened by

the houston rockets, which appear to show support for pro—democracy protesters in hong kong. a hugely sensitive subject and once again the lines of sport and politics were blurred. there are edges of country's sub j blurred. there are edges of country's subj versus another country's subj versus another country's perceives of injury and the nba put its fit right in the middle of that fight. the tweet because they fear to action in china. tv broadcasters pulling out of the nba coverage and threatening to cancel pre—season friendlies scheduled to take place in china. there is la kers scheduled to take place in china. there is lakers fan says it is time to save out of the nba from china. another, from shanghai, says they will not be able to solve a problem this time. he says he will not be able to watch any nba games in the future. the original tweet has been deleted, but the damage in china has been done. apologies have only
