"doddie was an inspirational force of nature. his unending energy and drive, and his strength of character powered him through his riugby

and business careers an, we believe, enabled him to fight the efects of mnd for so many years... mnd took so much from doddie, but never his spirit and determination. he battled mnd so bravely, and whilst his own batle may be over, his fight continues through his foundation, until a cure is found for all those with this devastating disease." tell us about your reflections on doddy and him as a person. we knew there was no positive outcome. ifelt we knew there was no positive outcome. i felt as though we began to mourn doddy when he was given his diagnosis, but he wouldn't allow people to do that. he had such a positivity and love of life and he

lived every single moment of his life. he is not defined by his mnd, he is defined as the man he was, which is a tremendous family man. he loved his poise and his beautiful wife. he loved his farm, he loved his friends, he adored his rugby, anti—loved everybody, he loved life. it is heartbreaking to think he is not with him any more. the work you did with the foundation was incredible. he and spiders every day and kept us forward. haw incredible. he and spiders every day and kept us forward.— incredible. he and spiders every day and kept us forward. how much of an insiration and kept us forward. how much of an insniration has _ and kept us forward. how much of an inspiration has he _ and kept us forward. how much of an inspiration has he been _ and kept us forward. how much of an inspiration has he been with - inspiration has he been with everything to do in the fight against mnd?— everything to do in the fight auainst mnd? ~ , , ., against mnd? doddie weir inspired a whole generation _ against mnd? doddie weir inspired a whole generation of— against mnd? doddie weir inspired a whole generation of kids _ against mnd? doddie weir inspired a whole generation of kids to _ against mnd? doddie weir inspired a whole generation of kids to play - whole generation of kids to play rugby. he was a recognisable character and much loved on the rugby field. i've known him since we were young teenagers and he inspired a lot of us to do extraordinary

public eye, and people talk about it much more free freely. i have lost a best friend, somebody that i have loved for many years. he has family to me. what made me get involved? i don't know if anybody else knows him, but he was a difficult man to say no to. when he asked me to get involved, immediately, like anybody else, we wanted to do what we could to help him and to deliver for what we knew where his visions. that is why i was involved. in this first instance we are just reflecting and taking on board we have lost somebody he was a huge part of our lives. myself and my family, we have lost someone that we are all incredibly fond of and he played a big part in our lives. we need to take a moment to reflect on his impact on us and then look forward to what we can do to honour his

legacy and his name. jill douglas talkin: to legacy and his name. jill douglas talking to me _ legacy and his name. jill douglas talking to me then. _ moving onto the world cup now — and france have secured their place in the last 16 by beating denmark this afternoon. kylian mbappe with both their goals — as the defending champions set the standard in qatar. joe lynsky reports. no team has retained the world cup since 1962. all through this french squad is quality and belief. denmark face the champions. twice in four months this year they have beaten france, and for an hour, kept the superstars quiet. this is the world cup, where the best find a way. that was kylian mbappe a's 13th goal in 12 france games. he is the sport's mum great at still just 23. so

dominant were france, that with that it looked settled. denmark were level when andreas christensen headed in, but five minutes from time, this. seven goals at world cup finals, 31 for france, and beppe is in a race for greatness. this was a winning goalfrom a yard out and far from france at their best. chasing a feat not done for 60 years, it is hard to see who can stop them. australia are back in with a chance of progressing to the knockouts. they beat tunisia 1—0, in the first game of the day — the victory their first at a world cup since 2010. qualification is now in their own hands — as craig templeton reports. every game at world cup means

something. fortunisia every game at world cup means something. for tunisia they are setting their sights on reaching the knockout stages for the first time. australia needs to bounce back from defeats to stay in the fight. the socceroos scored the opener in that 4-1 socceroos scored the opener in that 4—1 loss to france, and mitchell duke rose to the occasion. an important goal and a special moment. the next time the ball hit duke's head, he was nowhere near as happy. after a few choice words, it was time to move on. the chances were starting to move in favour of tunisia. after the break australia sprang back into life, it looked sprang back into life, and it looked more likely they would get a second, a equaliser. next 7 next 7 7 and that next goal never arrived, and re” have since 2010, and still make first world cup win since 2010,

and could still make the knockouts. a huge victory for australia there and we saw mitchell duke — who scored the winner — with a celebration dedicated to his son, jaxson, who was watching on from the stands. duke said scoring in a world cup was one of his proudest moments. like i'm going to start crying because it was such a big moment. it is the best feeling in the world. i'm trying not to get too caught up in it because the job i'm trying not to get too caught up in it because thejob is not done yet. we have one more game to win. describe the emotions when you saw the ball in the back of the net. it was the best moment of my life, in my football career. there are no words. i am just so happy and proud of the boys. we made so many sacrifices to get here. it's the best feeling. he's regarded as one of the best strikers in the world. and today — a moment for robert lewandowski to remember. poland's captain was on the scoresheet — as they beat saudi arabia, the side that stunned argentina in their opening match — and were hoping to become the first side to get through to the knockouts. ben croucher reports.

saudi arabia sing to glory and supremacy, few traits you would expect to see from them at the world cup. expect to see from them at the world cu -. �* expect to see from them at the world cu . _ �* , , expect to see from them at the world cu -. �* , , ., ., , cup. but in suits or the quality that saw off — cup. but in suits or the quality that saw off argentina, - cup. but in suits or the quality that saw off argentina, but - cup. but in suits or the quality l that saw off argentina, but were able to stave off the threat. robert 11 duff turned provider. just like that... saudi arabia refused to go down. not a penalty at first glance, but at second, yes. celebrating as if they had equalised. 0ne but at second, yes. celebrating as if they had equalised. one obvious problem, the inevitable. the goalkeeper denying saudi arabia not once, but twice. the woodwork had the same plans for the polish to milik and 11 dusky getting their and goes askew. the best player in the

world hadn't scored at world cup and had never been gifted a chance like this. polished finish. for saudi arabia, their glory will have to come in the next story, but all still to play for. in the next half hour the final game of the day gets underway — between argentina and mexico. both teams desperate for a win— with perhaps more pressure on one of the tournament favourites argentina — who were on the end of perhaps the biggest shock so far, in their opening game. we get the latest on that — and updates from the england and wales camps — with our correspondent nesta mcgregor, who's in doha for us. argentina will be hoping to get their world cup back on track after a really bad defeat to saudi arabia?— a draw that goes down as a defeat in world

cup history. if you speak to fans they are still feeling confident. they say it was a freak result and tonight we will see the real argentina. the fans here have been in fantastic spirit. you can see them all over dough half. lionel messi shirts everywhere. they have taken over the underground metric. argentina two times world cup winners in 1978 and 1976. if they lose tonight their world cup is over. and also perhaps the international career of lynn all met, one of the all—time greats. the big one would have escaped him. a draw for mexico would still leave things in their own hands, how do you think they'll approach the game?— studios are next to espn mexico and speaking to the experts, they say

the mexicans are not going to be cautious. they know their south american rivals well and it will be satisfying to knock them out of the tournament. argentina have won four of the last five games against mexico. the other was a draw. you can look at that two ways. either argentina and mexico's number, or mexico are due a win.— argentina and mexico's number, or mexico are due a win. france sealed their sot mexico are due a win. france sealed their sootjust _ mexico are due a win. france sealed their spot just now _ mexico are due a win. france sealed their spot just now didn't _ mexico are due a win. france sealed their spot just now didn't they. - england are almost there, they trained today, any news after their draw with usa last night?— wales will have to lift the 14 the 1a players who didn't play yesterday had a full training session. the good news for gareth southgate's team is that james maddison trained for the first time since the tournament began. the leicester city 26—year—old had been

suffering from a hamstring injury. england looked blunt yesterday, they looked like they lacked creative ideas and he is a creative midfielder who can unlock defences. going forward if he is fit, it will be a good option for gareth southgate to have. wales will have to lift themselves after their defeat to iran yesterday, can they have much optimism knowing they need a big result against england?) england will be well up for this. it is a big ask, when you imagined wales have to beat england by 4—0, and the result between the usa and iran has to go that way as well. the welsh fans have travelled in their masses, you can see them everywhere in their red shirts and rainbow bucket hats. they will want something to cheer from this tournament. there has been little so far. upsetting england would tick

that box. their manager, robert page, has a big decision to make. he has gareth bale and aaron ramsey in the squad. can you afford to start both of them against england? can they hope to produce one moment of magic? as you mentioned, home nation rivalry. 0ne magic? as you mentioned, home nation rivalry. one thing is for sure, the two sets of fans will make it an unbelievable atmosphere. come next tuesday that will be a cracking game. tuesday that will be a cracking came. ~ .., �* tuesday that will be a cracking ame, . . ., �* ., tuesday that will be a cracking came. . �* ., ., , tuesday that will be a cracking game. we can't wait, that will be an amazin: game. we can't wait, that will be an amazing atmosphere. _ away from the world cup — and plenty of domestic fa cup action today — with the second round taking place. and a shock for afc wimbledon, beaten by non—league opposition. the lost to chesterfield, of the national league 2—0 at home. goals coming from armando dobra in the first half — and jeff king — 15 minutes before the end. they seal their spot in the third round, the stage where premier league and championship teams enter the mix. the dream is over for seventh tier alvechurch.

they were beaten by league 0ne's forest green rovers, 2—1... jed abbey equalised for alvechurch in the second half — after they fell behind to a first half penalty. josh march scored the winner for forest green — against the side he used to play for. could there be a hollywood draw for wrexham of the national league? they're into the hat with a 4—1 victory over farnborough. paul mullin scoring a hat trick for the welsh side. league two side stevenage avoided an upset at king lynn's town as they ran out three—nil winners. luke norris scored twice — and this effort from jamie reid sealed the win with all three goals coming in a five minute second half spell. well — on a sad day for rugby union, given the news of doddie weir's passing — we also had the final round of autumn internationals. england are in action against the world champions sourh africa... and wales had victory in their sights, but cruelly lost out in the final moments against australia — a 39—34 defeat piling the pressure

in the united rugby championship — three games have been played this afternoon, with munster v connacht due to get under way in the next hour. league leaders leinster maintained their 100% record — with a 110—5 win over glasgow. rob russell grabbed a hat—trick for the home side, with his final try coming inside the last ten minutes. elsewhere, bulls ran in seven tries as they secured a comfortable 113—26 victory over 0spreys. david kriel scored a brace for the south african side, who move up to third in the table. and ill—man benneton left it late, as they beat edinburgh 24—17.... the home side played a man down from the tenth minute, but quick thinking from captain dewaldt duvenage allowed rhyno smith to score the match winning try. great britain's georgia taylor brown missed out she finished second in the season finale in abu dhabi behind bermuda's flora duffy, who won her fourth title. after a difficult year, taylor brown

taking a risk for me is not a problem. if you say to me, let's jump problem. if you say to me, let's jump in that pond, i'll do it. i don't mind taking risks. taking a risk for me is nothing. former scottish rugby international, doddie weir, has passed away at the age of 52. he doddie weir, has passed away at the a . e of 52. . doddie weir, has passed away at the ace of 52. ., , doddie weir, has passed away at the aueof52. . , ., age of 52. he had been diagnosed with motor— age of 52. he had been diagnosed with motor neurone _ age of 52. he had been diagnosed with motor neurone disease - age of 52. he had been diagnosed with motor neurone disease six i age of 52. he had been diagnosed . with motor neurone disease six years ago. he went on to raise millions with his charity work. he appeared at murrayfield with the match ball, before scotland kicked off at new zealand, earlierthis before scotland kicked off at new zealand, earlier this year. the chief executive of the doddy weir foundation, jill douglas, said he continued to shine a light. he is survived by his wife cathy, and his

sons. hello, it's not been a pleasant day today. grey skies and outbreaks of rain. a bit better tomorrow but for the rest of this evening and overnight we can expect more rain. having said that. later in the night the weather should start to improve across northern and western areas of the uk. this is the weather front that crossing the country right now. that is the centre of low pressure that weather front will sweep over us through the course of this evening and the first part of the night. and then the early hours of sunday morning we will see the weather improving across the western and northwestern part of the uk. this is what it looks like over the next few hours. the rain will not clear east anglia and the southeast. that's where it was stalled

early on sunday morning. elsewhere, where it is dry on sunday morning it will be a little colder. 6 degrees celsius and more like 11 in the london area. this weather front will drag its heels. it's what we call a waving front, it wobbles a little and does not want to clear away towards the east. so that doesn't mean that in east anglia and the southeast. in fact, probably from central to southern england and possibly even into lincolnshire a bit of uncertainty here. it could be raining through most of the day and certainly in kent you are in for a wet day. elsewhere across the country it would be a bright day with scattered will be a bright day with scattered clouds and occasional showers in the west. it ruled will remain blustery. not particularly cold though. tomorrow evening you can see that rain still in kent and sussex. just about clearing the coast of east anglia out in the west we will have more showers. monday and tuesday we will see high—pressure building in from the south west. this ridge of high—pressure means that things dry out.

the weather front, or remnants of it, still out in the north sea. but this ridge builds in and that will keep things settled at least for most of us on monday, certainly by tuesday. most of us are in that drier, clear weather. i say clearer, there will be sunshine around on monday. and indeed on tuesday. in places it would be quite foggy, and murky in the morning. where the fog persist it could end up being pretty cold. i think, on balance it is around eight to 10 degrees as far as the week ahead is concerned. goodbye.
