weir who has died at the age of 52. the weir family have put out a statement this evening about their beloved husband and father. "doddie was an inspirational force of nature. his unending energy and drive, and his strength of character powered him through his rugby 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." andy nichol is a former team—mate and hejoins me now. thank you for talking to us. tell us a bit about your memories of body and how you knew each other.— your memories of body and how you knew each other. they go back a long wa . 35 knew each other. they go back a long way- 35 years — knew each other. they go back a long way- 35 years i _ knew each other. they go back a long way. 35 years i have _ knew each other. they go back a long way. 35 years i have known _ knew each other. they go back a long

scottish schools with him, and with the lions memorably in 1997. in a sport like rugby, i don't know anyone that has a bad word to say about doddie, which isjust astonishing. he wasjust about doddie, which isjust astonishing. he was just universally loved and that was just as a rugby player. what he has done in the last five years has been nothing short of incredible. he was a remarkable man, full of life, full of humour, mischievous as hell. even from a young age he was always up to stuff. he was always up for little tricks and trying to get you off guard. he did it with an incredible smile on his face. it did it with an incredible smile on his face. ,., , ~ .,, ., his face. it sounds like he was a real character _ his face. it sounds like he was a real character to _ his face. it sounds like he was a real character to have _ his face. it sounds like he was a real character to have in - his face. it sounds like he was a real character to have in the - real character to have in the dressing room and in life. you are someone who has got involved in his charity, helping him to raise

much more than it was. doddie sadly contracted it in 2016. his legacy is immense. the money raised has been incredible, and it is making a difference. the research that is required to find a cure needs funding, and that is what a lot of the foundation has been guided towards. his legacy is immense. his legacy as a rugby player was set, he was a brilliant rugby player, but what he has done since then with mnd will be forever remembered. and? will be forever remembered. andy nichol reflecting _ will be forever remembered. andy nichol reflecting on _ will be forever remembered. andy nichol reflecting on the _ will be forever remembered. andy nichol reflecting on the life of doddie weir, who has died at the age of 52. 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's 13th goal in 12 france games. he is the sport's modern 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 mbappe 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. 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 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, and it looked more likely they would get a second, rather than a tunisian equaliser. that next goal never arrived, and that means australia have their 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 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. it was the best friendly we could have had against france. if you make a small mistake you get punished. i couldn't be prouder of the boys. incredible effort and the australian fans here have given great support and now we move forward. we have achieved one win, it is nothing. 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. robert lewandowski turned provider. saudi arabia refused to go down. not a penalty at first glance, 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 too, 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. we're under way in the final game of the day — between argentina and mexico... pressure will be on both sides — particularly argentina. they're one of the big favourites — with superstar players in their ranks — and were beaten in their opening game, by saudi arabia. we get the latest on that — and updates from england and wales . with our correspondent nesta mcgregor, who is in doha for us. nesta, what's been happening in this crucial group c match...? is just isjust approaching is just approaching half—time and it is still 0—0. we should expect nothing less in this clash. argentina have dominated possession, we have also seen some tasty tackles. mexican centre back was

booked for a tackle that some described as one from the 1990s. mexico did have a free kick but it was well saved by martinez, in goal for argentina. was well saved by martinez, in goal forargentina. if argentina was well saved by martinez, in goal for argentina. if argentina lose tonight they are out of the world cup. a draw is a good result for mexico, because they will fancy their chances against saudi arabia in the final group game. who knows, this could be the last time we could see the great lee messi at a world cup tournament. he is 35 now, so unlikely to play in another one. it would be a shame if he went out in the group stage. england and wales have got all to play for for the last group game. england are looking like they are likely to go through. england had the chance to do that against the usa and they failed to take that opportunity. how will they be feeling after that goalless draw? a lot of criticism has come gareth southgate's way. h0

it did not like they made many chances. sitting bad by their standards. they were go into this match knowing they have to get a big result against england to go through. how will they be feeling flocking a big result against england to go through. how will they be feeling looking this england to go through. how will they be feeling lookin— be feeling looking this is the first time wales _ be feeling looking this is the first time wales have _ be feeling looking this is the first time wales have qualified - be feeling looking this is the first time wales have qualified for- be feeling looking this is the first time wales have qualified for a i time wales have qualified for a world cup since 1958 and the legion of fans who have travelled have had little to cheer so far. upsetting england would definitely tick that box. wales, regardless of the criticism, do have an outside chance of qualifying. they have to beat england and hope that the usa and iran draw, so it is not an impossibility. going forward, the big problem for robert page is, does he play gareth bale and aaron ramsey. two players that don't have the legs they used to. some players have said they are being carried. can he have them in the squad. hoping for a moment of magic, will he rest one or both of them? a big call for robert page to make. we do

know that being a home nation clash, and the two sets of fans gathering, we are in for a cracking game. the english coach of canada — john herdman — has apologised after using a derogatory term, when instructing his players how to approach their game against croatia on sunday. it's must win for both teams. croatia have 1 point in the group — and canada lost their opening game. herdman is certainly relishing the contest. iam super i am super excited for a huge match tomorrow. 0urteam i am super excited for a huge match tomorrow. our team are light, bright, and clear, and ready to go. it will be a defining moment for canada in this world cup. it is one of those do or die games that we have to perform in to stay in the world cup. i am pretty excited, to be honest. it is a massive game,

canada playing croatia a world cup. we get a chance to play against great players, it is a hell of a match coming. 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 they're into the hat with a 4—1 victory over farnborough. paul mullin scoring a hat

trick for the welsh side. as they ran out 3—0 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. rangers remain top of the swpl, following a 0—0 draw in a game of very few chances, it was rangers midfielder tessel middag who came closest. the experienced dutch international hitting the bar with a free kick from outside the area. 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 were in action against the world champions south africa and fell to a 27—13 defeat at twickenham. the springboks led 14—3 at the break through kurt—lee arendse's brilliant try and eddiejones�* side never looked like getting back into it despite south africa going a man down, henry slade's converted try with nine minutes remaining proving to be a consolation. in the other autumn international,

wales had victory in their sights, but cruelly lost out in the final moments against australia — a 39—34 defeat piling the pressure on their head coach. reginaldo rosario reports. when payback stood in disbelief. the welsh players crestfallen. again they'd had in their hands flipped in they'd had in their hands flipped in the blink of an eye. it had started well for wales, who responded to the shock defeat to georgia with two early tries. leading 20—13 at half—time, wales quickly went over twice after the break. extending their lead to 21 points. this from justin to prick, with 15 minutes to 90, justin to prick, with 15 minutes to go, sent him to the sin bin, and open up an opportunity for australia. suddenly the injury

depleted wallabies had all the momentum, wales giving away a penalty try, and down to 13 with seven minutes remaining. australia sensed their moment. the ball slipping through welsh hands, is really completing a remarkable comeback. the end of a dreadful 2022 for wales, comeback. the end of a dreadful 2022 forwales, one comeback. the end of a dreadful 2022 for wales, one final defeat that could spell the end of p back. there was one game in the premiership this afternoon. sale beat bristol 25—20 to remain second in the table. a penalty either side of half time from aj macginty gave bristol a slender advantage, against his former club.. in response, sale kept pushing to find their way back in to the game, and a scrappy late try from jean—luc du preez secured victory for the home side. in the united rugby championship — three games have been played this afternoon, with munster v connacht due to get underway in the next hour. league leaders leinster

maintained their 100% record — this with a a0 points to 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. but quick thinking from captain dewaldt duvenage allowed rhyno smith to score the match winning try. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today.. the favourite le milos — held off the challenge of re—mastered ... to win the coral gold cup at newbury. ever women's big bash. chasing 148 to win, the sixers fell

10 runs short with deandra dotting bruce mouat with two fantastic closing shots to win 5—4. australia's cameron smith has a three shot lead going into the final round of the australian pga championship. the open champion shot a third round of 69 to sit clear at royal queensland. his round included four birdies in the first six holes before struggling in windy conditions on the back nine. england's cara gainer is five shots off the lead going into the final round of the andalucia 0pen. swizerland's morgan matreux leads on 1a under par.

dillian whyte returns to the ring this evening, as he takes on undefeated americanjermaine franklin at wembley arena. whyte has not fought since a defeat to tyson fury in april and feels tonight's opponent poses a difficult test. he isa he is a big guy, he looks like you might be about 300 pounds. he says he is in knock me out, he says is good at do this. i think is a bit confused in his head as to what he wants to do. that makes him dangerous. he is a bit unpredictable in his head. just a reminder of the story we brought you at the top of sportsday. former scottish rugby international doddie weir has passed away at the age of 52. weir had been diagnosed with motor neurone disease six years ago. he went on to raise millions, though his charity work on mnd. earlier this month, he appeared at murrayfield with the match ball before scotland kicked off against new zealand.

my name's doddie foundation chief executivejill douglas told me doddie continues to shine a light on mnd." he is survived by his wife kathy and sons hamish, angus and ben. 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 will stall 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 does 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 will be a bright day with scattered clouds and occasional showers in the west. it 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 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 persists 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.
