at this competition. without the fijians do kind ofjust got a six nations light, a six nations company to without the history and tradition and the travelling fans but you throw the likes of b6 into the mix and it gives the tournament and whole new dimension so it's just a desperate pity that they aren't able to play against france tomorrow. let's hope that they can keep this outbreak under control and they can fulfil their fixture against italy next weekend. but it's just the worst possible start for the tournament. and iran kick off against wales in dublin injust and iran kick off against wales in dublin in just under 15 minutes' time facet —— ireland kick off. there's a big weekend ahead in boxing both over in the united states and here in the uk. kell brook has described his fight against terence crawford tomorrow in las vegas as the biggest of his career. victory for the sheffield fighter would see him clinch the wbo world welterweight title, his american opponent though has never been beaten.

has that? obviously adam is my best friend and i have his back and he has mine. and we all know adam like myself and the guys on the team, the short course which is not everything. a lot of the guys when they do the breaststroke, they are doing fight kicks as they are swimming and into the walls which is com pletely swimming and into the walls which is completely illegal. that is cheating, you can't do that. which is faster than a breaststroke kick. and we've seen the guys do that and we have called them out and we have left them to that now and it hasn't spoken about in the isl and hopefully something will be done about it. and hopefully the referees will sharpen up on what they see because at the end of the day it is wrong and not fair. but we know for us wrong and not fair. but we know for us and the brits and the london team and a lot of guys here is what we know our main focus is the olympic games and that is where we would do the real business. a few more sporting headlines for you now. and practice for this weekend's turkish grand prix was tricky for many at the istanbul park circuit. lewis hamilton was about a second off the pace. he can equal michael schumacher‘s
