of the league any more. also coming up in the programme... a tumble takes away britain's madison medal chances on day four of the track cycling world championships in paris. hello again, welcome to sportsday. england would have hoped to win the opening game of the rugby league world cup. but like this? perhaps not even the most optimistic fan would have expected the hosts to run in ten tries to beat another tournament contender. but england's 60 points to 6 win over samoa in newcastle provided exactly that, as adam wild reports.

but across the other side of the world, england are but across the other side of the world, england are certainly but across the other side of the world, england are certainly living up world, england are certainly living up to their tags as favourites for the women's rugby union rugby world cup committed to with that of two for them but for scotland, an agonising defeat to australia leave their chances of staying in the competition hanging by a thread. joe currie reports. england may have won their last 26 matches but games against france are rarely comfortable. usually labelled le crunch, this uk breakfast time clash, redubbed le brunch, started with some bite, the french losing two key players early on before the roses struck. emily scarratt crashing through a resolute defence to touch down, kicking the conversion and a penalty to put her side ahead the break. after the restart, england built, but blundered. and as pressure mounted, tempers flared and spilled over.

in this kind of game, points matter, scarratt stretching england's lead and that kick proving to be a wise decision as moments later, france showed their class, putting themselves on the scoreboard and right back in it. a big finish loomed but while the french defence held strong in the closing stages, keeping england at bay, they themselves could not find a way through to close the gap. england rattled but make it two wins out of two. meanwhile there was more world cup heartache for scotland. having led australia 12—0 at the break, they were overrun in the second half, eventually succumbing to another narrow defeat and that leaves them needing to beat new zealand next weekend to have any hope of making the quarterfinals. one other game in that world cup today, usa kept their quarterfinal hopes alive with a 30 points to 17 when overjapan. so, then, back to stjames's park and when overjapan. so, then, back to st james's park and the scene of an

extraordinary opening to the rugby league world cup, england entertained and increased the enthusiasm of a nation. let's go to adam wilding. we can't go to adam, so we will hear from him a little bit later on. let's return to rugby union and of course it has been in the domestic game for the men a turbulent week with what game at exeter called off because of the financial woes that will likely see them join worcester in being suspended and eventually regulated, relegated, one of the game that took place today, there were three of them, included a late adam hastings penalty that saw gloucester edge past bristol by 31 points to 28 at kingsholm. the game had been level since the hour mark with hastings stepping up, withjust three minutes remaining, and the result means the home side move into the play—off spots. elsewhere, there were also

wins for northampton and saracens against newcastle and bath respectively. saracens now move to the top of the table, one point above sale. norhampton remain in third place, with gloucester just behind in fourth. in the united rugby championship, ulster held off a lions fightback to win their first—ever game on south african soil. this late penalty from nathan doak was enough to secure victory for the irish outfit and the win leaves them second in the table, just two points behind leinster. elsewhere, and it was disappointment for the glasgow warriors as they were beaten 40—12 by the sharks in durban. aphelele fassi ran in one of four second half tries as the south africans took the victory and cemented their place in the play—offs.

this is sportsday, still to come, a rivalry that has been brewing for a decade and more, and now the undisputed middleweight world title is on the line for claressa shields and savannah marshall. she is on the line for claressa shields and savannah marshall.— is on the line for claressa shields and savannah marshall. she was to be friends and go — and savannah marshall. she was to be friends and go off— and savannah marshall. she was to be friends and go off a _ and savannah marshall. she was to be friends and go off a coffee _ and savannah marshall. she was to be friends and go off a coffee now, - and savannah marshall. she was to be friends and go off a coffee now, i - friends and go off a coffee now, i want to go off a coffee, i don't want to go off a coffee, i don't want to go off a coffee, i don't want to be a friend, what to punch her face, want to be a friend, what to punch herface, that want to be a friend, what to punch her face, that is what i want to do. to the football. evidence god and missed a penalty. harry kane was one on target to give spurs the lead in the second half. then the factory —— victory was wrapped up less than five minutes from time. they have consolidated their third look place

in the premier league table. all of the bottom three had matches today, leicester have moved temporarily off the foot at the table after a goalless draw at home to crystal palace but still the reaction at the compare eggs just —— suggest expectations are not being met. if brendan rodgers was feeling the pressure, his pre—match demeanour did not suggest it. harvey barnes was one exception, going closer than anyone. palace didn't set the stadium alight either. the second half saw greater intensity from the foxes with james madison to the fore. first shooting overfrom barnes�* cutback, before dragging a shotjust wide minutes later. at the other end, edward reminded us palace was still a threat denied by a save.

maddison looked leicester's most likely most creative spark, but timothy was unable to convert his corner. vieira's reaction captured the mood perfectly as it ended goalless. boos at the final whistle as patient seems to be wearing thin. i always felt it would be a season where we need to be patient, after our marker in the summer. the players are very focused. you can see them fighting, you can see them running, you can see their confidence to take the ball and it is just that final bit on the pitch which we just need that little bit of luck and something to drop four, and if we can do that, the team will continue to gain more points.

we knew how difficult it was going to be _ we knew how difficult it was going to be and — we knew how difficult it was going to be and at the end, we didn't play to be and at the end, we didn't play to hurt_ to be and at the end, we didn't play to hurt them, we didn't play, we played _ to hurt them, we didn't play, we played with not taking risks, and playing _ played with not taking risks, and playing with the handbrake and we said. _ playing with the handbrake and we said, make it comfortable for them, even _ said, make it comfortable for them, even more _ said, make it comfortable for them, even more in — said, make it comfortable for them, even more in this half. leicester's point meant nottingham forest started their match at wolves bottom of the table. and they're still there after losing by a goal to nil. it's caretaker boss steve davies' first win in his two games in charge. and it was a game of two penalties, with wolves converting theirs through ruben neves, and forest having theirs saved by jose sa. it's only wolves�* fourth league goal of the season but it takes them out of the bottom three for the time being. it feels great. any win you get, particularly at home, you know, we needed that badly as well, we were desperate for that resultjust to try and kick—start what we are doing this season. it is a reward for the work they put in this week as well, the players worked really hard

to get that result and i thought throughout the game, the first half particularly, we were excellent. the second half we tired towards the end, they put us under a bit of pressure, but generally really pleased with that. the less said about the referee, the better. i am sure it would have been different if it had been at the other end of the pitch. it has taken that to kick us into gear— it has taken that to kick us into gear with— it has taken that to kick us into gear with the ball. we did get a bit of territory — gear with the ball. we did get a bit of territory then, we did get some players _ of territory then, we did get some players in — of territory then, we did get some players in better positions, and got the penalty, obviously it has not gone _ the penalty, obviously it has not gone our— the penalty, obviously it has not gone our way. fulham and bournemouth are the promoted sides who's start to the season might be described as better than expected. they're next to each other in mid table and couldn't be separated at craven cottage this afternoon either. marco silva's side twice had to come from behind to take the point, having gone 1—0 down injust the second minute. dominic solanke with the early goal for bournemouth.

alexsandar mitrovic scored the second equaliserfor the home side on his return from injury. and it finished 2—2. it was a terrible penalty decision. if you note the game. i have been told jeff was holding mitrovic with two hands, so why richard h. with if jeff is holding him, i have no idea. i have seen it, h pulls him over, otherwise you wouldn't fall that way. so, yeah, ithink it's otherwise you wouldn't fall that way. so, yeah, i think it's the terrible decision.— way. so, yeah, i think it's the terrible decision. , ., ., terrible decision. everyone saw what ha--ened terrible decision. everyone saw what happened in — terrible decision. everyone saw what happened in our— terrible decision. everyone saw what happened in our game _ terrible decision. everyone saw what happened in our game against - terrible decision. everyone saw what happened in our game against west | happened in our game against west ham last_ happened in our game against west ham last week. i think everyone saw it, ham last week. i think everyone saw it. we _ ham last week. i think everyone saw it. we lost_ ham last week. i think everyone saw it, we lost the game three goals, the last— it, we lost the game three goals, the last two goals, they should be disallowed, and we were punished for the mistakes that came. the first was a _ the mistakes that came. the first was a penalty, and the feedback i -ot was a penalty, and the feedback i got from — was a penalty, and the feedback i got from the referee who is commanding, in charge of the referees. _ commanding, in charge of the referees, that is a clear penalty to west— referees, that is a clear penalty to west ham — referees, that is a clear penalty to west ham. if that one is a penalty, this one _ west ham. if that one is a penalty, this one should be a penalty as

welt, _ this one should be a penalty as well, because i have to see some consistency. sheffield nearly lost their game. sheffield united have slipped off the top of the championship after drawing 3—3 at home to blackpool. they had been two up but almost lost the game but for an equaliser in the eighth minute of stoppage time from oliver norwood. that was followed by red cards for united's wes foderingham and pool�*s shayne lavery for violent conduct. blackpool had laready lost two men to red cards so finished with eight players on the field. the dropped points allowed burnley to go top after they won 4—0 at home to swansea. there were notable wins for bottom club coventry at cardiff and managerless west brom at reading. norwich can go top if they beat watford in the late game. and watford in the late game. that starts in two minute time. celtic thrashed third placed hibernian 6—1 to make it nine wins out of ten in the scottish premiership. a hat—trick from james forrest

on his first start of the season took his goal tally for the club to 100. celtic are five points clear of rangers who play tomorrow. livingston are up to fifth after beating stjohnstone1—0. the bottom two, ross county and dundee united, drew1—1. and it was goal—less between st mirren and kilmarnock. aston villa dropped their first points of the women's super league season as west ham beat them 2—1 at bescot stadium. the hammers were two up inside the first fifteen minutes. but a late villa goal and the loss of defender hawa cissoko to a red card meant they were hanging on at the end. the result lifts them to sixth in the table, level on points with fifth—placed villa. how fitting that we made you wait ten minutes after waiting a year for the rugby results. england beat samoa 60 points to six. here is adam wilde. the rugby league world cup had

to wait a year later than planned but a tournament unlike any the game has seen before. it was being branded as the biggest, the best in the sport's history, it had a lot to live up to. frustratingly, that wait would go on a little longer — major technical problems meant the opening ceremony was curtailed. it was left to the players to make their own introductions, samoa building the atmosphere as only they can. england were going to need something special, the occasion definitely needed it, young starjack welsby suddenly on hand to provide it. england find a little bit of magic! and with that, the moment the world cup came alive. dom young, whose family is from newcastle and who plays in newcastle australia now delighting the english crowd in newcastle. many have tipped him to be a standout star of this tournament, and we can see why. it is a culmination of circus tricks and superman.

the first half scoreline more comfortable than many expected. in the second, england's world cup charge really took off, ten tries in total, in a dominant display of power. england unstoppable. and so the result england desperately wanted. a perfect start. but rugby league world cup that relief that this world cup is finally under way. adam wilding, bbc news, newcastle. adam wilding is still at newcastle. adam, ahead of this game, not many people were convinced england would win, let alone so emphatically? if you can believe it, england, despite being hosts, actually came into this one as slight underdogs, samoa really seen as an emerging force in the global game. but it is notjust the result, it is the performance, and it is the margin of victory that will have everyone else in this competition really sitting up and taking notice. a real standout performance, the likes of elliott whitehead, dom young, will really have everyone taking a very close look

at what england have done this afternoon. let's have a listen to what the england camp has been saying. first head coach shaun wayne. we did need a confidence booster, we did 0k against fiji, we did well today. we know what we can do. and we can still improve on that performance, no doubt about it in my mind. adam, i wonder it if it has reset expectations, what are they now? well, the sky is the limit, if today is anything to go by. let me bring in robbie hunt. let's be clear, was that england being brilliant or samoa not being ready enough? you know, i think it is fair to say that... that is what these early rounds are about. you can see that shaun wayne has invested into that england squad, they prepared really well, we saw it in the performance against fiji last week and they have

taken it to another level today. they were brilliant, the final 20 minutes they've racked up the points for the opening 20 minutes, the decision—making, how they decided to get forward, it just took all the energy out of samoa _ and that is why we saw the breakaway happen and the point—scoring margin that we enjoyed tonight. who in particular impressed you? i really liked the look of victor radley, there was stuff that he was doing in and around the ball, communication, moving players in the opening 20 minutes. tom burgess as well, and immovable play. he is going up against two of the best front rowers in basically the whole wide world and he didn't bend backwards not once. he has matured as a player as well. and the spine of the team, jack welsby, he went from strength to strength today, you could seek and growing throughout the day, saying, i can play my game. sam tomkins, like old father time, orchestrating

everything from behind, managing everything about, the way those three players came together, glued it altogether, itjust looked outstanding, and if anything, maybe they peaked too soon, the final really now. don't say they have peaked too soon, the best is yet to come. it is important for the tournament that the host put in good performances, get people excited and bums on seats. people were asking me do i think samoa, i don't have them as favourites, i saw enough last week i thought, you know, not only that on the sideline, and watching the players that weren't playing, you could see the hunger in their eyes, they want a piece of that. it creates a unique experience where you start internally competing, you have act togetherness, but everyone knows that their position in the third and the 17th is secure so they have to earn it, so it sharpens as they go on. so, yeah, incredible performance. it fires out this warning

shot to the rest of the competition that you are going to have to get up to speed. but it is not about being the best team now, it is about keeping that momentum going, learning what combinations are, still, i think the 17 out there isn't going to be the final 17 we see for england come the play—offs. you say keep the momentum going but i suspect they have earned themselves the luxury of making some changes because i'm slightly, dare i say, easier games against greece and against france coming up, and that will change things around, things around, but they have to try and keep the momentum. we call them developing nations, those teams that are coming into it over the last couple of world cups, there is an opportunity for them, and there is an opportunity for the nonplaying players to stake their claim, they have got to do the right things around the camp as well as in the game, so, yes, it gives shaun wayne the opportunity to tweak a few things, see in those specific areas, see what accommodations work really well, but i tell you what, when victor radley went off,

because you had him doing a lot of organising on the field, morgan knowles came on, and he did exactly the same. i've not seen another team and eskom edition i've not seen another team in this competiation that has two players like that, so influential. like generals inside your pack. most teams have one, i have never seen a team have two. robbie, i do appreciate your time very much, thank you for joining us on sportsday. so england's world cup campaign is well and truly up and running here in newcastle. quite the opening game for the defending champions australia to respond to. they had just started their match against fiji and that they are taking the lead in the 17th minute, fiji scored the opening try to take a 4—0 lead but the team who have won eight of the last nine competitions, 11 in all, australia, hot favourite to take another trophy back down under, and they lead by

six points to four, and rather fittingly, quite helpfully, a nice little replay of the try that has given them the lead. that is on bbc two right now, you can for that game live on bbc television. there was a surprise in the champions stakes at ascot — europe's top—rated horse, baaeed, was beaten in his final race before retiring. he was fourth behind the 10—1 shot bay bridge with half a furlong to go, and that's how it stayed. baaeed had been compared to the legendary frankel who retired unbeaten after 14 races. this was baaeed's11th and the first time he'd lost. a first ever all—women's boxing card in the uk takes place tonight, with the main event savannah marshall and claressa shields contesting the undisputed middleweight champion world title. marshall is the big—punching home favourite but american shields hasn't lost a fight professionally or at amateur level since losing to marshall ten years ago. ade adedoyin is at the o2 arena for us. this rivalry has been simmering for the past ten years

and in the months leading up to 2012, savannah marshall beat claressa shields and in over 70 odd amateur and professional bouts that remains the only blemish on claressa shields�* records. the build—up has been lively, colourful, lots of words exchanged, claressa shields even got involved in a shouting match with sections of the crowd who heckled her in the weigh—in. when i caught up with her, she was still very fired up. no ifs or buts about it, i think it is going to be fairly easy. i think she is going to try, everyone can try, but she is going to get outboxed, she is going to get out—punched, she is going to get outsmarted and it is going to be hard for her to figure out what to do. i will do anything i need to to get the win. how important is this for your career? i will have it on the belt, doesn't get much better than. is this the biggest moment of your career? of course it is, 100%.

nicola adams explains the keys to victory for both fighters. savannah needs to get behind the jab and not let claressa shields get into a rhythm. claressa shields, she throws punches, she needs to stick to her punches, get inside the jab and letting her punches go, punches go, that is where i see both girls winning or losing. this is notjust a big night for the two women, it is a big night for the sport, an all—female card, the first time that will happen on british soil. this is ethan hayter, the defending champion of the arminian title has just successfully defended it in paris. —— the omnium title. ethan hayter, he is the world omnium

champion for a second year in a row, and as you can see rather helpfully, he has won the points race that is the final of the four events in the multidiscipline event in track cycling, it is the omnium, four of them all in one day, and ethan hayter has won the gold medal for great britain in france at the world track cycling championship. so, congratulations to ethan hayter. there was a second medal of the championships forjay—z night, she won silver in the team pursuit on thursday, and tonight a bronze, she beat germany to get third place in the individual pursuit in paris, a few minutes ago. they were strong hopes of a medal for laura few minutes ago. they were strong hopes of a medalfor laura kemi and the women�*s madison. lying in fourth overall when this happened.

laura kenny had no chance, as the rider from new zealand veered out in front of her, leaving britain�*s most successful female cyclist with nowhere to go. leaving neah evans to take over, finishing fifth overall behind belgium. a reminder that australia against fiji, still six points to four, continues on bbc two, it has been a fascinating day of rugby league, quite the opening for the host nation england winning so comprehensively against samoa this afternoon. that�*s all from sportsday, thank you for your company, goodbye for now. hello. for those of you who�*ve had a wet and blustery saturday, sunday looks to be drier with some sunshine.

this is the area of low pressure responsible for saturday�*s rain and gusty winds, only slowly pulling away north and eastwards through the evening and overnight. behind it, a quieter spell of weather for much of sunday, before our next system arrives from the southwest. back to tonight, still plenty of showers around, especially for northern ireland, scotland and northern england. further south, still some showers around at first, they�*ll tend to fade as the night wears on with some clearer spells developing. temperatures in range from 6—9 celsius, so we�*re frost free, although some rural parts of scotland could fall a few degrees lower. so for much of sunday, it�*s looking mainly dry with some sunshine. i say "for much of sunday" because there will be some rain arriving from the southwest through the afternoon and also some showers in the morning across northern ireland, scotland and northern england. they�*ll soon be out of the way, then dry with plenty of sunshine for the uk before the cloud starts to build from the south and the southwest, eventually pushing rain into southern and southwestern counties of england, wales and northern ireland through the afternoon. still some noticeable wind strengths, particularly along irish sea coasts and the northern isles. but the wind�*s not nearly as strong

as they have been on saturday, and temperatures on a par with saturday afternoon, 11—13 celsius for the north of the uk and 14—18 celsius further south. then that band of rain continues on its journey, gradually north and eastwards through sunday evening and overnight. most of us will see a spell of sometimes heavy rain all tied in with this area of low pressure, which is still with us on monday. slow to clear from scotland. so we�*re likely to keep some rain here, and potentially first thing on monday as well, some cloud and rain slow to clear from the south east of england and east anglia, but behind it, for many on monday, mainly dry, plenty of sunshine, but still those showers lingering across a large swathe of scotland with some gusty winds as well. temperatures on monday still in the mid to high teens for much of england and wales, 11—13 celsius for scotland and northern ireland. then from tuesday and into wednesday, tuesday looks to be a quieter day, but i�*m sure you can see this next system arriving in from the atlantic as we head into wednesday. so it�*s a drier start to the week with a good deal of sunshine

for many on both monday and tuesday before some rain arrives midweek, and with it, some stronger winds. bye— bye.
