cinema screen. while big creatures fighting can be fun, the biggest problem with godzilla vs kong is that it keeps reminding you of all the other films you'd rather be watching, from ishiro honda's original 1954 godzilla — still an atom—age classic, to guillermo del toro�*s pacific rim — the high watermark of giant mechanoids punching massive monsters. still, godzilla vs kong does what it says and it's available to rent from a range of vod platforms now. that's it for this week, thanks for watching the film review, stay safe and i'll see you next week. pretty boy! i'm not pretty, i'm good—looking!

they showed little signs of rustiness after the international break, brushing aside third place leicester 2—0. for sergio aguero — it was his first game since it was announced city's all time leading goalscorer would be leaving at the end of the season. jim lumsden has more.. who could fill his boots? names were bandied around. the boss employs a straight face and says we cannot afford to spend. the squad creaks with costly talent. lester inflicted a rare thumping on the league leaders despite having little possession and here city again dominated the first—half to no avail. a more threatening leicester.

his shot was deflected out of harms way. manchester city had won their last 1a away games. anyone can score in this team. the left back, for one. a pass to the eye of a needle. a pass to the eye of a needle. so seemingly no stopping manchester city — lets hear now from manager pep guardiola they defend very well, the defendant good but we need to be patient, to wait for the right moment and, yes, it came at the right time i think. as for the game of the day? well look no further than stamford bridge where fourth placed chelsea were stunned

a fleeting moment as scotland were reduced to 14. number eight was a penalty try. 52—10 was the final score. the tournament may change this year. england's last certainly hasn't. england's last certainly hasn't. france v wales kicks off in the next 10 minutes. in the men's game — it's the knockout stages in european competition and exeter�*s defence of their champions cup title is on track — but they were pushed hard by lyon. the chiefs came from iii—nil down at sandy park — with tom o'flaherty scoring one of the seven tries in a 10—25 win. they'll meet leinster in the last eight. wasps are out though. they lead clermont auvernge going into added time — thanks to three tries including this effort from josh bassett. but as the clock ticked past 80 — clermont had the ball near the wasps line — eventually finding the hands of kotaro matsushima the square the scores. camille lopez kicked the decisive conversation in a 27—25 win. it'll be an all french

(ani at over 3 thousand 500 winners, only ap mccoy has ridden more than him. and lastly — this is where the boat race will be taking place tomorrow. look a bit different? that's because it's not on the thames but rather the great 0use in cambridgeshire. in order to avoid crowds gathering en masse — against covid rules — there's a change of venue for the oxford and cambridge crews. mike bushell can show us how it'll look and sound like little we've seen before... from the banks of the river thames,
