lot of those names fair. you mentioned patrick reed, he hasjust teed off, he has found the fairway. he has been really solid, one of these players that has a really good mental strength to deal with the toughness of this course and when it goes wrong how to recover. he is playing along with bryson dechambeau, who also found the fairway, but then went on to three—part that first. he has already gone a shot out. justin thomas is having a bad early round so thomas is having a bad early round so far. he has dropped two shots in his first two holes, so he has dropped back to 11 part. he was the one who set the mark on day one with a round of five underfor him. he is finding it tough going. rory mcilroy, in terms of hopes from people here in the uk and ireland, he did really well on his front nine, picked up a couple of birdies. he then found a really difficult light on the tenth, the par three tenths, so he dropped a shot there, but he made a good par save on the next hole. he is one underfor his
7:50 pm
round so far. but you look at dustin johnson, he is five overfor the tournament. two of the best performance since coming back from lockdown. this course is fierce and i don't think we can predict anything for tonight and tomorrow night. but we loved all the same. we can hear more from you tonight? yeah come on 5 live and on the website. despite the end of the saracens era looming, that didn't stop the reigning european champions cup holders continuing their gallop towards the title once again, holding off leinster in a thrilling quarter final in dubln. adam wild has the details. 50,000 empty seats in dublin, the backdrop for the return of european rugby's elite competition. still saracens need no reminder ofjust

how much their world has changed. the continent's dominant force in recent years condemned to the wilderness from next season — punishment for breaching financial rules. if these are their final throws, they were unexpected as they were impressive, kicking themselves into a 12—point lead against leinster. all before alex goode found a gap and set off for the line. a side with little to lose still hungry. somewhere in there, leinster had their try. the comeback? well, a score to reduce the gap even further, it seemed a matter of time. but saracens are a side with a point to prove, and these points put them beyond reach. the celebrations of a side refusing to go quietly. in rugby league, wigan warriors are into the semifinals of the challenge cup after thrashing hull fc, while warrington wolves remain on course to defend the trophy after beating st helens —
7:52 pm
but only just, as michael redford reports. the challenge cup trophy on show, but not up for grabs yet. nearly 13 months passed since warrington took control of it after beating st helens. now the same opposition stood in their way once more, with revenge firmly on their minds. their intent was clear early on — just seven minutes gone whenjonny lomax scored. warrington were unfazed and they soon had their first try, anthony gelling jumping highest and hitting the right notes. it was far from a solo performance asjosh charnley breezed his way to the try line. matty ashton found a clear route to score as well. warrington in control. once he is away, there is no catching him. st helens needed a reaction, almost provided had it not been for a stunning late tackle from blake austin. hope for st helens, but nothing more than that. the luck was with warrington.
7:53 pm
there would be one final scare as they reduced the deficit to two points. but a missed conversion allowed warrington to hold onto the victory. wigan warriors know all about holding the trophy, having won it 19 times and it is their site once again this year. an early lead against hull fc. a second before two tries from french saw wigan lead 26-0 at tries from french saw wigan lead 26—0 at half—time for top a lead that would only be extended after the restart. farrell got his second before they went over for the seventh and final try. hull did manage to score, but it was too little too late. good title number 20 be just around the corner? the tour de france has delivered late drama. tadej pogacar is set to become the youngest winner in 110 years having pegged back the favourite primoz roglic in one of the most
7:54 pm
dramatic turna rounds in the race's history. he overhauled a 57—second deficit to lead by nearly a minute going into tomorrow's final processional stage to paris. nick parrott reports. until now, this was the closest tadej pogacar could get to roglic. but he wasn't going to give up. that gap is shrinking. both riders changed their bikes as the route got steeper. a wobble on the bike suggesting some tiredness after wearing the yellow jersey since the ninth stage. look at the clock on the left of the screen — as it changes from green to red, this is the moment he took the virtual lead of the race with a couple of miles to go. at eight years younger than roglic, his youthful energy was propelling him to the finish. no celebrations as he crossed the line
7:55 pm
because roglic was still on the road, but that moment came soon enough. he had won the tour by almost a minute. two days short of his 22nd birthday, his celebrations are sure to go on for weeks. dutch rider anna van der breggen has won the giro rosa, the most prestigious race in women's road cycling. the final stage in italy was won by young french rider evita muzic. van der breggen finished alongside her rivals to win the race for the third time in her career. that's all from sportsday. from all the team here — enjoy the rest of your evening. hello. good evening. time to take a check on the weather, which so far
