than hype. it's not about the hype. it's about two quality fighters. both undefeated fighting each other because they want the biggest fight. that is what is selling this. flight that is what is selling this. flight of this magnitude is notjust physical. there is a mental side of thing as well. how do you maintain his emotions and keep everything in check? i think it really comes down to experience helps a lot. if you remember when floyd mayweather would fight people he would say what are they gonna do when they get on the stage? they didn't really understand until they got there instead of 100 people want an interview, it's 2000. and set up to people wanting an autograph, it's 2 million. it's an enormous thing, but experience is the best thing out all. —— of all. he's been coming up on 11 heavyweight title defences, so no one is better prepared to deal with the situation then deontay wilder.

last question. how do you manage your emotions because once he's fighting, all you can do is instruct him. experience has helped a lot. the main thing is, you can have a great training camp and then you can ruin it with a bad fight. you can't get on—site like some people do and say, everything ‘s good. you have to stay on point. you have to stay focused. for me, i take it day by day. i don't look beyond what we have today and i know what's on the agenda for us today. that's all i concerned of it —— all i'm concerned about. the two men will come face—to—face. 2a hours before he find out who that is the best man. it's another big weekend in the six nations. there are two matches tomorrow, scotland travel to rome to face italy with both sides looking for their first win in this year's

championship, while the holders wales host a france side who've won both of their opening matches. on sunday, there's a huge match at twickenham as england take on ireland. 0ur rugby union correspondent chrisjones has been inside the england camp, with the starting 15 named today. whereas the ireland head coach andy farrell has been able to name an unchanged side at least up until ian henderson's late withdrawal, there's been a lot more reshuffling going on here with england. mako vunipola unavailable, so propjoe marler returns, and all change in the back three. jonathan joseph moving onto the wing, elliott daily coming back to fall back with george furbank considered not quite right to play. eddiejones has also made changes in the back row with courtney lawes starting on the blind side flank while ben youngs returns at scrub half. jones has been in a bit of an odd mood this week, playing a bit of a game of cat and mouse with the media and also making one or two jokes which have fallen flat, but it was a bit like his old self here at penny hill park today,
10:33 pm
especially when talking about this andy farrell against 0wen farrell dynamic. andy, the ireland head coach, 0wen, the england captain. of course, butjones feels both men would take this unusual situation well and truly in their stride. is quite unique. if you look at the tree of the farrell family, the influence they've had in rugby league, it's a unique family. their ability to be professional and play for their team and not get involved in other stuff is probably unique. the importance of sunday's game is in the context of the championship can't be underestimated. if england win their six nations title tilt is well and truly back on track. an ireland victory would line up a final day showdown for the grand slam potentially away in paris. it's a game you feel england need to win, especially after their up—and—down performance since the rugby world cup, and england players and jones have been adamant that they're

in the perfect place to make a winning return to twickenham. to domestic rugby union and sale sharks thrashed struggling leicester tigers 36—3 in rugby union's premiership. marland ya rde's hat—trick was part of four tries on the night for sale to secure the bonus point victory. that sees them leapfrog northampton in the table and move to second place behind exeter. elsewhere, wasps bounced back from tuesday's departure of their director of rugby dai young, by thumping relegated saracens 60 points to ten. edinburgh stay top of conference b in the pro 1a after a bonus—point win over connacht at murrayfield. it finished 41 — 1a to edinburgh. duhan van der merwe battling through the wall of connacht players to eventually get the bonus try. meanwhile leinster were 21—13 winners over ospreys. cian kelleher‘s late try sealing the victory for the irish side as they remain top of conference a. time for a look at the other sports
10:35 pm
news stories making the headlines. wayne rooney's 500th appearance in english league football was bitter sweet. he marked it with this coolly taken penalty to put his derby county side ahead against fulham. but his night was spoiled by aleksandar mitrovic‘s equaliser. a point moves derby into the top half of the championship. fulham stay third. in the super league castleford came from behind to ease to a derby win over wakefield. six tries on the night including two from this man, derrell 0lpherts and james clare helped them to a 32 points to 15 victory. an athlete wearing nike's controversial vaporfly shoe has smashed the women's world record for the half marathon. ethiopia's ababel yeshaneh took 20 seconds off the previous record at a race in the united arab emirates. and mercedes‘ new steering system which can change the angle of the front wheels will be banned under new f1 regulations from 2021, but they can still use it this season.
10:36 pm
netball‘s superleague season starts this weekend with all ten sides in action on saturday in birmingham. the top billing is a repeat of last years grand final with the champions manchester thunder taking on wasps. it's all part of the new format to the league, which not everyone is happy about. earlier my colleague gavin ramjaun was joined by thunder players laura malcolm and caroline 0'hanlon. isa is a very competitive leave and for the last couple season, it's been tight at the top. there will be a number of teams who probably fancied themselves, but we're very confident. we had a very good preseason, along preseason, so we are excited to get going. and the league gets off to a really big start. what do you make of criticisms by some saying the extra fixtures may be too much and the impact on the season ahead? it's not
10:37 pm
really ourjob to be worried about that so we've got our game. it's where it is and that's what it is. we just have to prepare to win it and that's it. do you notice the changes every season in terms of how the teams have become more professional and how the interest from the media is taking on a new lease of life? massively. ithink probably since england one the comeback game, that was a real turning point on a global level. there was more attention given to the uk super league so yeah, i think it's built on that. more players have come in from overseas so every team has imports in their team and i think that really adds to their quality and diversity of the teams. like you mentioned, the competition for the top four is really hard this year. do you expect the same thing around the season ahead? yeah, i think last year was pretty tight as
10:38 pm
well. that's what split it up. so i can only imagine it's going to be even more competitive this year looking at the split of the teams. soi looking at the split of the teams. so i expect it to be a fight to get into that top four and every point, every goal will matter. now, perhaps it was a case of if you didn't laugh you'd cry, but the tottenham manager jose mourinho got a fit of the giggles when asked about injuries to his players. at the moment, his star strikers harry kane and son heung min may be out for the rest of the season. but instead of being concerned, mourinho burst out laughing. harry, it was good to see him on wednesday handing the award to jimmy's family. he looked quite mobile... laughter is that encouraging? laughter how's dele alli? because we obviously saw how... laughter oh my god!
10:39 pm
it's infectious is and it? nice to see he has a sense of humour. that's all from sportsday. we will have more support for the rest of the weekend, but for now, bye— bye. rest of the weekend, but for now, bye—bye. —— more sports. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are yasmin alibhai—brown, the author and columnist, and benedicte paviot, anglo—french broadcaster and correspondent for france 24. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the ft reports that hmrc has created
10:40 pm
a secretive unit to crack down on the use of investment companies by wealthy families. the i leads with 0fsted research which, the newspaper says, reveals a debt crisis and deep cutbacks at schools. the mail says the veteran broadcaster, david dimbleby, has criticised borisjohnson amid the row over the bbc licence fee. the mirror leads with an emotional tribute from rugby star danny cipriani, to his ex—girlfriend caroline flack, who took her own life last weekend. and the telegraph carries an investigation, which suggests people trying to offset their emissions risks could be doing more harm than good. so, a varied set of front pages — let's see what our reviewers make of it all. let's start off with the guardian.
10:41 pm
do you want to kick us off? so this isa do you want to kick us off? so this is a big warning that has been given to teachers and doctors over any kind of referrals that they could make. any other public sector workers as well because it says they prompted terror two counterterrorism to my inquiries. the way this is come out is these documents heavily redacted and set apparently, of the policy friend mark would prevent that. it's been designed —— this copyis that. it's been designed —— this copy is released to the human rights group liberty and shared with the guardian. it seems that what doesn't need to happen is that then, the officials don't have to seek
10:42 pm
permission. they're not legally bound to inform the teachers or doctors and they can actuallyjust start investigating. i think it's quite an interesting river do not report but it's very biased. i have kind of mixed feelings about the programme because for a long time, it's been seen as an attack on muslims and now the same muslims we re muslims and now the same muslims were quite rightly worried and mistrusted the programme. they are becoming quite supportive of it now because now it is also being used for hard right white children which have been raised in these families. 39% of referrals to prevent have now come from this. it's quite an interesting thing and i also think, a huge report on the well—being of young muslims, some of the girls who
10:43 pm
we nt young muslims, some of the girls who went off, at least one of them, if somebody had actually... we think she's died. her story is so tragic. if someone had let it, the preventers are just if someone had let it, the preve nters are just about if someone had let it, the preventers are just about punishing people and blaming them. some of it is very good work. i have a lot of problems with it. not alerting the authorities led to a catastrophe, so i think it's a really problematic position we are now in. to be fair to this article, the home affairs correspondent does point out that of course there are criticisms about his referrals, but also let's remember that is to perfect the public as well. —— protect the public. the manchester bomber could have been stopped. if you look at his story... the problem is one of
10:44 pm
resources . his story... the problem is one of resources. there's this young woman who today has admitted she was going to target st. paul's cathedral at the height of the christian calendar which is basically easter sunday or easter week in the holy week and then also christmas. she could kill as many people as possible. there is the die lemma on where the intelligence services —— this dilemma. you've got so many more people that would follow, but they can't so they have to a, gather enough evidence in order to then be sure of the conviction but office lee, when you stop that? there was criticism for that to. how do you understand the prevent programme? is that they are to prevent an attack or prevent radicalisation? the aim
10:45 pm
is to stop them becoming radicalised. by the time we got to this stage this woman got to, the security story orifice is needed to step in. it's increasingly difficult to refer to that to make a lighter point. a minority of people in the population, a majority of these attacks and the one we saw in germany a few days ago, i did one, where is the mosque attack yesterday was not. but this woman who has admitted this bombing plot could very well have been. this is the dilemma because people have been radicalised. notjust via mosques. it sometimes in small groups via the internet. it'll be coming out at the end of march. it's
