hello, there. it's been balmy, mild for late october, with temperatures into the low 20s celsius across the south—east of england. it's going to be mild into tomorrow, as well. maybe not quite as warm as today. we will have a mixture of sunshine and showers because we still have low pressure nearby. quite a few isobars on the chart, so it will be windy, especially around some irish sea coasts, but our air source coming in from the azores, which is why it is so mild. through tonight, the rain eventually clears away from northern scotland. many places will be dry. we will start to see an area of cloud and rain pushing in to east anglia and the south—east and some blustery showers will start to feed into northern ireland, wales, south—west england. look at those overnight temperatures, ten to m degrees, so we are holding on to the mild theme. don't forget, the clocks go back one hour in the early hours of sunday. it takes us into sunday, then, on a fairly mild note. some sunshine around. early rain clears from the south—east. there will be plenty of showers in the north and the west of the country. some of these pushing their way eastwards. it is going to be mild again tomorrow, although not quite as warm as today.

logos, it is going to remain on the very unsettled side. hello and welcome to sportsday. coming up tonight. more woe for wales, as they crash out of the rugby world cup, after a masterclass from holders new zealand. still unbeaten — england race into the quarter—finals of the rugby league world cup, with a record win over greece. no haaland, no problem. manchester city top the table with victory over leicester. and georgia taylor—brown defends her super league triathlon series title in style.

hello and welcome to sportsday. england's women are bidding for a place in the semi—finals of the rugby world cup later, as they take on australia in a crunch match in auckland. they're niow the only home nation left in the tournament, after wales followed in scotland's footsteps, going out at the group stage, after another heavy defeat by defending champions new zealand. jo currie was there. the other side of the world up against the defending champions in their back yard for a place in the semifinals. wales women would need all the support they can get. after pleasantries were exchanged, wales found themselves with an early chance, which they wasted. opportunities like that wouldn't come around very often,

as the black ferns started to find their feet... and the width of the pitch. as time and time again, they found themselves in at the corner as they built up a commanding lead. there was a change of ends, but no change of tactic from the world champions. that's portia woodman�*s 20th world cup try — a new record for the tournament. absolutely sumptuous! under the lights, the black ferns looked very much at home, in a performance that was hard to fault, whilst wales found themselves outmuscled and outmanoeuvred, as new zealand put on a show worthy of the packed—out crowd. they'll now move onto the final four, where they'll face france. for wales, there's now a long flight home. this result will hurt but, for many, it will be seen as the beginning of the journey for wales women, after the welsh rugby union only offered them full—time contracts just a few months ago. what this result will do, though, is show them how much further

still need to go they are to close the gap on the best in the world. jo currie, bbc news, ballarat. so wales head home having registered just one victory from four. they did edge scotland in their opener, but allowed australia to run away with a win in the pool stages, and suffered two heavy defeats to the black ferns. but captain hannahjones says she's proud of what her side has achieved. no regrets. before coming out, i asked the girls to give it their all, show some colour and some hard and we definitely showed it. new zealand is definitely stepped up in the last pool game and they're off load game is absolutely insane. but they didn't come through us, they had to come round us, and that is testament to our defence. so france next for the black ferns, after they thrashed italy 39—3. joanna grisez was the star performer for france, with a hat—trick of tries, to book her side's place in the last four of the tournament. closer to home, then, and the rugby league world cup, where england enjoyed their biggest

ever victory at this tournament with a crushing 9a—4 win over greece. dominic young starred, with four first—half tries, to ease into the hosts into the quarter—finals as group winners. adam wild is at bramhall lane. is this world cup reaches the steal city, a moment for england to show their mettle. they never played greece before, england had never played here before. for all, a breath of fresh air. greece just being at this world cup is a triumph. the sport was illegal there untiljust a few months ago. still, for england, not a day to dwell on sentiment. matty lees giving them the lead. , , , ._ the lead. only 2.5 minutes played and i think— the lead. only 2.5 minutes played and i think the _ the lead. only 2.5 minutes played and i think the inevitable - the lead. only 2.5 minutes played and i think the inevitable is - and i think the inevitable is already beginning to unfold. mas and i think the inevitable is already beginning to unfold. was the result was rarely _ already beginning to unfold. was the result was rarely in _ already beginning to unfold. was the result was rarely in doubt, _ already beginning to unfold. was the result was rarely in doubt, greece i result was rarely in doubt, greece would have their moment. yet another moment of history here. the

but england showed no mercy. no, you are absolutely right, a record—breaking score, it was in fact the scoreline that many had anticipated. it was perhaps the scoreline many greek fans feared. for greece, it was more about the occasion. they have been a wonderful addition to this world cup. there were lovely scenes at the end between their fans and players as they really celebrated the journey they really celebrated the journey they have been on. the greek players previously have said their appearance money from this world cup will be ploughed back into the greek rugby league federation as they continued to build the sport in greece. as for england, i havejust come from the english press conference whether head coach has been very focused indeed. he said, there is no big celebrations this evening. he was asked, as a proud wigan, will next week's quarterfinal at wigan be his proudest moment, as england head home. she said, it will be fine, it would be great, but what

he is focused on is the final, that will be his proudest moment and that is very much the focus inside the england camp. that is the mindset, they are looking at the final. let's hear from someone inside that england camp, man of the match, salford's marc sneyd. we try to play a certain way, with one eye on next week. but it was quite hard to do come up with the way that we ended up playing. and we were racking up points on a regular basis and it was quite hard to get some kind of momentum is probably not the right word, but some practice in basically for next week. but obviously, to put the scoreline on that in a world cup, we ate going to complain, we are going to enjoy and be happy about it. the to complain, we are going to en'oy and be happy about mi to complain, we are going to en'oy and be happy about it. the hard work starts now. — and be happy about it. the hard work starts now. but _ and be happy about it. the hard work starts now, but you _ and be happy about it. the hard work starts now, but you can't _ and be happy about it. the hard work starts now, but you can't help - and be happy about it. the hard work starts now, but you can't help but. starts now, but you can't help but feel with that result today, there will be added expectation on england to go the distance, what has the

a busy day in the premier league. graham potter's return to brighton as chelsea manager didn't go according to plan. spurs were under pressure on the south coast too, as they squeezed past bournemouth, but it's manchester city who sit top of the table after a 1—nil win at leicester, and no erling haaland in sight. joe lynskey was watching. manchester city needed a plan. for the first time this season, they had no erling haaland. the top flight top scorer unfit and left out. so instead, at leicester, they went with julian alvarez. instead, at leicester, they went withjulian alvarez. a bright argentine forward, but without the strike rate of the norwegian. if city were casual, leicester were resolute. they had gone three games without conceding, now set to block each route to goal. city's aim had to be perfect. with one sublime shot, kevin sabrina ticked the lock. he found the one part of gold

leicester couldn't cover. —— de bruyne. urie tillman smacked the crossbar, but leicester struggled to make chances. city almost gave them one. but for most of this game, the champions had full control. 1—0 win meant on their day without erling, now they will talk about kevin. it was clear leicester city's manager brendan rodgers had set up his team to do a containing job on the reigning champions, and pep guardiola admitted for a time, it worked. they beat us one year in the stadium in 1962 playing this way, they did it again in this type of game, it is important not to get frustrated when you have problems to attack because it is literally so difficult with a team that runs from behind. we had a team that runs from behind. we had a team with more spaces, it was really complicated. a lot of credit from

leicester what they have done, but important we don't get frustrated. we start really well the second half. _, . ., ., we start really well the second half. . ., ., we start really well the second half. ., ., we start really well the second half. . ., ., . half. our concentration was good. we defended well — half. our concentration was good. we defended well when _ half. our concentration was good. we defended well when we _ half. our concentration was good. we defended well when we had _ half. our concentration was good. we defended well when we had to. - half. our concentration was good. we defended well when we had to. the i defended well when we had to. the idea was— defended well when we had to. the idea was to — defended well when we had to. the idea was to get to 70 minutes and bring _ idea was to get to 70 minutes and bring a _ idea was to get to 70 minutes and bring a different dynamic to the game _ bring a different dynamic to the game and change the system and hopefully get something. but the game _ hopefully get something. but the game ended up, you talk about a game of inches. _ game ended up, you talk about a game of inches, kevin's shot hits the post— of inches, kevin's shot hits the post and — of inches, kevin's shot hits the post and goes in and we knew it was a great _ post and goes in and we knew it was a great strike. it was a good save, but a _ a great strike. it was a good save, but a couple — a great strike. it was a good save, but a couple of inches and it is probably— but a couple of inches and it is probably n. it wasn't a happy return to brighton for graham potter, as his chelsea side were hammered 4—1 by his former club. it's brighton boss roberto de zerbi's first win in charge of the seagulls at the sixth attempt, and the first time chelsea have ever lost a league game against brighton. so the first defeat of the graham potter era at chelsea, with pascal gross' late goal

in injury time wrapping up the win. the scoreline and the defeat is a painful one. we suffered at the start of the game, we couldn't really recover, we had some opportunities ourselves in the first half, but once the crowd was so engaged and so up for the match, it was a difficult one for us. the scoreline was painful, certainly at half time. we responded a little bit in the second half. credit and congratulations to brighton, they played a good game and they did what they did well, especially first half. spurs needed a stoppage—time winner to get past bournemouth this afternoon. antonio conte's side were 2—nil down in the second half, but goals from ryan sessegnon, ben davies and then rodrigo bentancur in the 93rd minute completed the comeback. that's now three defeats on the bounce for gary 0'neil, with bournemouth nowjust three points clear of the relegation zone, but relief for the spurs boss. i know, i know very well my players.

and i think also, they know me very well. and for sure, the team that wants to give up is not my team. and the players know very well that we are to fight until the end. callum wilson scored twice as newcastle beat aston villa 4—0 at st james' park. the world cup hopeful grabbed the first two goals before joelinton added a third and the in—form miguel almiron rounded off the scoring with a superb strike from outside the area. after the game, wilson insisted that having gareth southgate watching from the stands did not add extra pressure. you step over the white line and you focus on newcastle, to be honest. for me, i have been asked numerous times about the world cup and, yes, i would love to go, but it was time for me to do talking on the football field at the end of the day. yes, if thatis

field at the end of the day. yes, if that is good enough, so be it. or i could do was try and perform for newcastle and see where it gets me. it finished all—square between brentford and wolves on a day where diego costa was shown his first ever red card in the premier league. ben mee gave brentford the lead, only for ruben neves to equalise less than a minute later. both sides have now gone three premier league games without a win. crystal palace returned to winning ways at selhurst park with a 1—0 win against southampton. 0dsonne edourard scored the only goal of the game, his third of the season, during the first half, as the eagles notched up their third straight home win in the premier league. still goalless between everton and fulham. still to come tonight, liverpool take on leeds. in the scottish premiership, rangers eased the pressure on manager giovanni van bronckhorst with an emphatic 4—1

win over aberdeen. elsewhere, ten—man dundee united slipped to the bottom of the table after defeat to motherwell. there were also wins for hibs and stjohnstone. tonight sees the biggest game in south american club football — the copa libertadores final. for the third year in a row, it will be an all—brazilian affair with flamengo facing athletico paranaense in ecuador. three—time winners flamengo last won it in 2019, but last year, they conceded an extra—time goal and finished as runners—up. since the group stages this year, they have scored 17 goals across three games and conceded just twice. netting nine of them was pedro, the tournament's top—scorer. athletico have never won the competition and have only reached the final once. but this year, they are coached by luiz felipe scolari, who has won the competition twice, as well as the 2002 world cup

with brazil, but it's thought that this final will be the 73 year—old's swansong. translation: i will be very happy if we win this copa _ translation: i will be very happy if we win this copa libertadores - translation: i will be very happy if we win this copa libertadores title. | we win this copa libertadores title. it would be the pinnacle of a career that i have given a lot of dedication to. i can say to you that i didn't expect to get this far. when i started playing football, i didn't imagine i could be a head coach and win everything that i have won. i expected to do relatively well, but i finish or live these moments in a very happy way. you can watch the game live across the bbc tonight. the match will be shown live on iplayer and streamed on the bbc sport website, with kick—off at 9.00pm. let's have a quick look at some of the day's other sports stories now. the final practice session

ahead of qualifying for the mexico grand prix is under way, and george russell has set the fastest lap so far. in the cricket, new zealand remain top of their group at the t20 world cup following a 65—run victory over sri lanka. in rugby union, george head's stoppage—time try secured harlequins a 26—24 win over london irish and saw them move up to third in the premiership. georgia taylor—brown has retained her super league triathlon title. she beat the usa's taylor spivey in the season—ending race in saudi arabia to wrap up the win. britain'sjonny brownlee also finished third overall in the men's series. michael redford was watching the action. ina in a desolate desert in saudi arabia, a tale of two tailors. georgia taylor—brown and taylor

spivey, level on points heading into the final race. but with the trophy go to the uk or the us? in the very early stages, that seemed a straightforward question. georgia taylor—brown gaining a 22 second lead after the first of three swims. but it was never going to be that easy. taylor spivey raced back into touch and back into contention. it was a battle that had onlyjust begun. back came taylor—brown going into the water in round two with an eight second lead, it was gone by the time they came out. from there, the time they came out. from there, the pair would stick together, toing and froing, but never far apart. the pair would stick together, toing and froing, but neverfar apart. and so, afterfive and froing, but neverfar apart. and so, after five cities and froing, but neverfar apart. and so, afterfive cities in and froing, but neverfar apart. and so, after five cities in five races, it came down to a final run. where taylor—brown showed her class, pulling a weight not only from spivey, but from the rest of the field. herthird spivey, but from the rest of the field. her third win of the series. once again, georgia taylor—brown is your champion here! the once again, georgia taylor-brown is your champion here!— your champion here! the title defended- — your champion here! the title defended. it _ your champion here! the title defended. it means _ your champion here! the title defended. it means an - your champion here! the title defended. it means an awfull your champion here! the title i defended. it means an awful lot. it has been _ defended. it means an awful lot. it has been a — defended. it means an awful lot. it has been a flipping long season so

my my dream would be to headline a huge fight back home in ireland. my six years as a professional boxer, i haven't a chance to headline a huge show back home, so that would be absolute huge. there is no shortage of big names out there and it could be any of those big names, i guess. croke park 80,000 people, that is a huge event in itself, probably one of the biggest in women's boxing history so far. i think you could sell at a huge stadium like that. that would be absolute huge and it is a very realistic goal and i hope that it happened sometime next year. most importantly, ijust want that it happened sometime next year. most importantly, i just want to that it happened sometime next year. most importantly, ijust want to be involved in the biggest fights possible, with as many fights, to continue to make history in the sports. yes, ijust want to compete to inspire the next generation. i know i am stepping in the ring against an unbeaten younger fighter,

i have to be at my very best in the ring on saturday night. i prepare for these kind of fights as much as i preferfor the big fights. i still compete the same. my training has been exactly the same, my work ethic is completely the same. i am just excited to showcase what i can do on saturday night and i will produce another big performance. it is going to be a fantastic night. i am hoping for another victory and as long as i remain undefeated and undisputed, thatis remain undefeated and undisputed, that is the main thing. finally, names and colours are very important to sports fans, so when leigh centurions announced they were changing their name to leigh leopards and possibly ditching their cherry and white colours, it divided opinion. the newly—promoted club say it is to modernise ahead of a new era in super league, but some supporters are unhappy with a change that, in leigh,
