with blair kinghorn returning at full—back, one of six changes. chris mclaughlin is in marseille. after a four—year wait, it is here, the biggest tournament in rugby. and as ever with scotland, there is a mixture of hope and expectation. i think that probably sums it up. we probably got the best scotland side that beat pad and a longtime. i am that beat pad and a long time. i am confident we _ that beat pad and a long time. i am confident we will _ that beat pad and a long time. i am confident we will beat _ that beat pad and a longtime. i am confident we will beat south africa, maybe _ confident we will beat south africa, maybe i_ confident we will beat south africa, maybe i might live to regret that but i _ maybe i might live to regret that but i am — maybe i might live to regret that but i am pretty confident. we never like to have — but i am pretty confident. we never like to have hope _ but i am pretty confident. we never like to have hope because - but i am pretty confident. we never like to have hope because we - but i am pretty confident. we never| like to have hope because we always -et like to have hope because we always get disappointed _ like to have hope because we always get disappointed but _ like to have hope because we always get disappointed but it— like to have hope because we always get disappointed but it should - like to have hope because we always get disappointed but it should be - like to have hope because we always get disappointed but it should be a l get disappointed but it should be a great _ get disappointed but it should be a great game — get disappointed but it should be a great game against _ get disappointed but it should be a great game against south - get disappointed but it should be a great game against south africa. l get disappointed but it should be a i great game against south africa. we have a _ great game against south africa. we have a strong — great game against south africa. we have a strong team. _ great game against south africa. we have a strong team. this _ great game against south africa. we have a strong team.— have a strong team. this is where it all starts for — have a strong team. this is where it all starts for scotland _ have a strong team. this is where it all starts for scotland on _ have a strong team. this is where it all starts for scotland on sunday. i all starts for scotland on sunday. this group of players have been dubbed the best ever for scotland but does that mean we can get excited? �* , , , excited? it's the biggest opportunity _ excited? it's the biggest opportunity you - excited? it's the biggest opportunity you will - excited? it's the biggestj opportunity you will get, excited? it's the biggest - opportunity you will get, world excited? it's the biggest _ opportunity you will get, world cup game playing the world champions.

players over the last few years with this specifically in mind and of course they have the poster boy of 13, but they have injuries but then the all blacks have injuries as well. it's very hard to call. they are two of the favourites but when you consider the likes of south africa, some of the pacific island sites or developing with every season, argentina for example, you see the organisers are hailing the longest and biggest world cup ever but perhaps the most competitive with a host of potential contenders. let's see if we can get ahead of ourselves, 51 days down the line to the final. 20 years since england became the only northern hemisphere side to actually left the webb ellis trophy. but you say this could be quite open? you mention the irish, they are number one in the world but weren't they four years ago as well?

that is right. of course they have never managed to get beyond the quarterfinals. so in the past, perhaps they had peaked in between these tenements but they come into it in fine form. of course they were six nations champions, the problem they have got is that they are in a very tough side of the draw. because the draw was made more than three years ago it has a very lopsided and balanced look to it, in fact would you believe the top five teams in the world according to the rankings now are all in the same side of the draw so for example in the allen grouping they have the feared south applicants, the reigning champions but also scotland. and so only two of those top five teams will be able to make it to the semifinals and in principle that means on paper at least, the likes of wales and indeed england have a potential easier route through to the semifinals but england of course after a shambolic build—up will start as underdogs, make no mistake, in the sweltering

heat of marseille tomorrow. what an occasion. huge fixture for england given everything that has gone on in recent times but a resurgent scotland will have big hopes and you can see why there is so much anticipation for the tournament. dan, live from the start difference, thank you so much. there are more european championship qualifiers this evening. scotland have a perfect record in their group and will be looking to make it five wins out of five. they should do that, they are playing the bottom team in the group, cyprus in larnaca. paul barnes is there for us. once upona once upon a time the excitement of following scotland collided with relentless disappointment but not any more. how good is it to be a scotland fan at the moment? right now ou scotland fan at the moment? right now you could _

squad and we have improved and i still think there is more improvement in the squad so it's a pretty good place for us to be. that; pretty good place for us to be. as the tartan army roll into cyprus fans are already dreaming of making waves at the euros next year. england's cricketers have set new zealand 292 runs to win their first men's one day international match in cardiff. england picked harry brook to open the batting after he'd initially been a surprise ommission from the one day squad. brook and dawid malan put on 80 for the first wicket before brook fell for 25. ben stokes helped england rebuild after losing their third wicket. he made a half century on his return to the team having reversed a decision to retire from this form of the game. some late hitting from captanjos buttler, who made 72, and liam livingstone got them to a total of 291 for 6. new zealand have made really solid progress towards the target, devon conway passing 50. they are 160—2

from 29 overs. they are well ahead of the run rate required. the us open women's final will be between the american teenager coco gauff and aryna sabalenka from belarus. both semi—finals were dramatic in their own way, sabalenka lost the first set to 0 before fighting back against madison keys and though gauff won in straight sets against karolina muchova, the match was disrupted by climate protestors. patrick gearey reports. thank you, ladies and gentlemen. the semifinal delicately poised, the author and should be for silence. the noise you can hear came from a group of climate protesters halfway up group of climate protesters halfway up the second tier calling for an end to fossilfuels. up the second tier calling for an end to fossil fuels. three of them were removed but one had glued himself to the floor. 19—year—old american coco gauff was a set away from herfirst us open american coco gauff was a set away from her first us open final but she would have to wait. the match was

delayed for more than three quarters of an hour and she stewed, hoping when she returned she could stay alert, maintain momentum. cheering. she broke but her opponent broke back and drew her into a contest. there was still a teenager coco gauff has played adult grand slam tennis for more than four years and this has prepared herfor these moments. a crucial point, not much point, there has always been hope for her tne out there may be faith after a test of patience. i for her tne out there may be faith after a test of patience.— after a test of patience. i always seak after a test of patience. i always speak about _ after a test of patience. i always speak about preaching - after a test of patience. i always speak about preaching about. after a test of patience. i always i speak about preaching about what after a test of patience. i always - speak about preaching about what you feel and what you believe in and it was done in a peaceful way so i cannot get too mad at it, obviously i do not want it to happen when i am winning 6—4, 1—0 but hey, that's what they felt they needed to do to get their voices heard, i cannot get upset at it. for get their voices heard, i cannot get upset at it-— get their voices heard, i cannot get u set at it. ., ' :: , upset at it. for the next 90 minutes the final was — upset at it. for the next 90 minutes the final was looking _

the nfl kicked off its regular season last night — with current champions the kansas city chiefs losing out to the detroit lions in a surprise result. 32 teams now begin the race to make it to super bowl 58 in las vegas next february. to look ahead to what we can expect here's hugh ferris. as globalise focusing on france it is fitting perhaps that a game with a same shaped ball that shares its roots with rugby shares a great deal of attention. it has touchdowns and scrimmages and the ball thrown forward, the 23 nfl season is upon us already with defending champions kansas city chiefs getting things under way last night with a surprising defeat to the detroit lions. the pre—match banner ceremony to mark their triumph in february was as good as it got at the arrowhead stadium, patrick mahomes had never been on the losing side in five previous attempts but through an interception, the lions returned for a touchdown and detroit took the

lead with a score in the fourth quarter and in the remaining seven monthly minutes patrick mahomes could not find a way back for the chiefs. partly because of him at the chiefs. partly because of him at the chiefs will still be considered contenders this year but at last night showed the nfl rarely provides anything approaching a sure thing. the philadelphia eagles and san francisco 49ers came close last time, to reach a fourth super bowl in eight years, the chiefs will have to get past some teams who have gone all in to stop them. buffalo bills and cincinnati bengals have elite young quarterbacks but will not be able to keep the ageing expense talent around them forever while the new yorkjets have made a big move to try and win their first lombardy trophy since the 60s by signing the four—time league most valuable player aaron rodgers. it is interesting _ player aaron rodgers. it is interesting in _ player aaron rodgers. it is interesting in new - playeraaron rodgers. it 3 interesting in new york, the giants have been so dominant for so many years and thejets have not really done much of anything and then they went out and brought in aaron rodgers. this is a super bowl move

team—mates. afterjoining bayern team—mates. after joining bayern munich team—mates. afterjoining bayern munich from tottenham this summer. it has felt a little bit different. you know, i am to travelling around europe now so for me, i am always excited to be out with the boy so the only difference was i was flying back from the game saturday rather than driving back so it's been great, great to see everyone again. and i look forward to hopefully another good year leading up to the euros next summer. that's all from sportsday. a reminder of the top story the tenth rugby world cup starts injust over an hour with france taking on new zealand in paris. commentary from the match is on bbc radio 5 live and all the build—up. whatever sport you are following this weekend have a great weekend and good night.

hello. it has been another day when temperatures have exceeded 30 celsius, an unprecedented run of september heat. but through the weekend, things start to change — slowly but surely, it will turn cooler, some scattered downpours as that change takes place. on the earlier satellite image, you can see areas of cloud pushing up from of the south. we've had some of that medium and high—level cloud in the sky in places today, turning the sunshine a little bit hazy, also some low cloud around some eastern and indeed some western coasts. and overnight, the odd shower creeping across southwest england, parts of wales, maybe northwest england, parts of northern ireland and western scotland, too. it is going to be another very warm night. these are the minimum temperatures. so into saturday, very warm start to the day. we will again see some spells of sunshine, but some areas of cloud, particularly around some western coasts. some showers breaking out, as well, and maybe some slightly more persistent rain trying to push into the far northwest of scotland. temperature—wise, well,

already a little bit cooler the further north and west you are — 18 for stornoway, but, further south and east, well, it could be the hottest day of this spell of weather, 33 possible in the capital. and with that heat and humidity through the late afternoon east wales, the midlands, parts of northern england could see some quite vicious thunderstorms — they'll be well—scattered, there will be places that avoid them, but if you catch one, you will know about it, with a lot of rain in a short space of time. and as you can see, through saturday night into sunday morning, some of us will see some further showers or thunderstorms, and some of those could even affect the great north run on sunday — but i think the good news for those taking part is that it will not be as hot as it has been. still some heat on sunday, but becoming increasingly confined to the southeast corner. further north and west, something a little bit cooler, a little bit fresher, with some scattered showers and thunderstorms. still, this band of rain trying to push into the northwest of scotland. 22 celsius for aberdeen and for glasgow, still 30 for norwich and for london, but that will not last into next week.

this is our air mass chart — the warm orange colours are replaced with yellow, and then, blue colours — indicative of something much, much cooler heading our way. so, during next week, much lower temperatures, returning far closer to what we'd expect at this time of year. and it will be quite unsettled, with showers or longer spells of rain at times.
