against currently, he is actually made quite a few. air around still to start in goal, the arsenal keeper will win his fourth england here. starting at left back tonight, replacing ben chill well. comes into the england sign, louis don't comes in for harriet mcguire, centre back, phillips comes to the side, along with mark was rushford. scotland are unchanged for this game, they are going to field the same starting 11 that they did and they are win on friday against cyprus, that 3—0 win. i should also mention as well gavin that scotland could qualify for the euros tonight, if norway draw with georgia and oslo, then scotland will confirm their place at the championships next summer, so it could be a very special night for them here at hampden park. katie colonel, thank _ them here at hampden park. katie colonel, thank you _ them here at hampden park. katie colonel, thank you very _ them here at hampden park. katie colonel, thank you very much for that indeed. reflecting on the rugby world cup

now, and the second pool stage games begin from thursday. but for england, they're now without flanker tom curry, who was sent off in the early stages of their convincing win over argentina. a victory that's no doubt boosted morale within the squad, given the poor results coming into the tournament in france. our rugby reporter chrisjones is with the england camp, ahead of their next game againstjapan, in nice, this weekend and joins me now. chris so first, let's talk about tom curry then, to game been for him after the different disciplinary hearing today. how would the deep coma without him? the hearing today. how would the deep coma without him?— coma without him? the game can -la ed coma without him? the game can played against — coma without him? the game can played against argentina - coma without him? the game can played against argentina was - coma without him? the game can played against argentina was hisl played against argentina was his first since the premiership final backin first since the premiership final back in may, but they were desperate, to stay on the pitch and be available for the whole world cup campaign. it makes such a difference, one of england's best players. louis ludlum was superb off the bench in the third. he has missed a couple of games after his suspension, he has no back available

and according to englishmen and —— english management he's... and according to englishmen and -- english management he's. .. english management he's... starting to see we in — english management he's... starting to see we in that _ english management he's... starting to see we in that one. _ english management he's... starting to see we in that one. black - english management he's... starting to see we in that one. black they've l to see we in that one. black they've not a to see we in that one. black they've got a balance _ to see we in that one. black they've got a balance of— to see we in that one. black they've got a balance of a _ to see we in that one. black they've got a balance of a few _ to see we in that one. black they've got a balance of a few things, - to see we in that one. black they've got a balance of a few things, yes i got a balance of a few things, yes japan are very different opposition in terms of style, they want to look into different combinations, desperately need of cohesion. they can be a lot slicker with the ball in hand, on the cutting edge, so i wouldn't expect too many changes, george ford will get another chance to run this show, how well he did that in marseilles, and there will be big... went over and they are comes back, happy today in the 2k, relax place full of confidence and very much a weight lifted off that win over argentina and they can look forward to that campaign now.

reactions to the band for tom curry, going back to that issue, there has been questions around the refereeing for this tournament so far. this often happens _ for this tournament so far. try 3 often happens around world cups, willed rugby over the past, 67 —— 6-7 willed rugby over the past, 67 —— 6—7 years. this will inevitably happen, tom curry was a red card, it was an accident but by the letter of the law and the way the referees are told to adjudicate there was no medication, he was upright, it was reckless, there is had on head contact it's a red card. even though he would've argued that it was an accident, but it's interesting how england accepted the red card, they didn't try to argue with it, they didn't try to argue with it, they didn't try to get it overturned, they said ok, it's a red and a two—game man is probably the minimum that tom curry could've gotten. click disciplinary process, you get the feeling that england have had enough of disciplinary processes

recently and would rather... looking forward as recently and would rather. .. looking forward as well— recently and would rather... looking forward as well to _ recently and would rather... looking forward as well to that _ recently and would rather... looking forward as well to that we _ recently and would rather... looking forward as well to that we can, - forward as well to that we can, ireland and also an action, what can we expect from their ties ahead? the ireland we expect from their ties ahead? tue: ireland business we expect from their ties ahead? tte: ireland business picks we expect from their ties ahead? t'te: ireland business picks up we expect from their ties ahead? tte: ireland business picks up a little bit for the irish after they are easy win over romania which was inevitable. they now have tonga on saturday evening at south tests. biggest tests arc to come in round three, on the final day of that match, the final four match against scotland. as for whales, that was a big win against fiji. 250 tackles they made, they are licking their wounds but with a win under their belt, they played portugal in nice on saturday, and the changes a bit to try and rest up their fans and bodies after that game and fiji. chrisjones, very much appreciated.

the former spanish football federation president, luis rubiales, has been summoned to appear in court on friday, in connection with the investigation into his kiss ofjenni hermoso after the women's world cup final. a madrid court said in a statement that rubiales will appear before an examining magistrate "to be heard as an accused" and to respond to accusations of "sexual assault". rubiales stepped down as the spanish football federation's president on sunday, but continued to defend himself over what he says was a consensual act, something which hermoso denies. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. everton are close to being sold to the investment firm 777 partners. the club, who are in financial difficulty, resumed discussions with the american company after talks with msp sports capital collapsed in august. the takeover would bring to an end the tenure of farhad moshiri. ronnie o'sullivan got his season off to a winning start at the shanghai masters snooker. the world number one also scored his first century of season, as he beat ali carter by six frames to 3. o'sullivan next plastohn higgins in the quarterfinals.

for the final odi on thursday. the davis cup is under way in manchester, one of four cities hosting the group stages as teams hope to make it to november's finals. great britain start their campaign tomorrrow against australia. andy murray returns to the team after missing the last round, as they hope to capitalise on home support. john watson has been to meet some budding tennis stars with the gb team. the scene is set. manchester, 2023, the return of the davis cup. and for the gb team, it is not all about playing on the big stage, but getting the next generation involved. come to north—west, come to the manchester for the first time in a very long time. it is brilliant, you can see the energy of the city, really looking forward to davis cup action. and the return of the davis cup to manchester for the first time in almost 30 years doesn'tjust bring new fans. it coincides with huge investment in public

courts like these across the city. the government and the lta being involved together, £30 million of funding going on across the country, thousands of new courts, a0 of which are in the greater manchester area, so kids can come out with their parents as well and get involved in tennis, it is great. i was very lucky to live at the back of a tennis club, so i was always playing tennis at a very young age, but these guys, they are playing it at a very young age as well, so hopefully they can continue at it and hopefully we can inspire them to the next level and yes, it is great _ to have them in the local park. how does it feel, having an actual wimbledon champion here with you today? very good. yeah? do you fancy being neal in the next few years, winning wimbledon? yes. does this remind you about when you started, playing on courts like these, for sure, yes, i remember playing tournaments on the concrete and yes, it did have a death brings back a

lot of positive memories. is there is one tip you could give to the i think you have to enjoy it, and you have to enjoy being able to compete. we know the davis cup is about the buzz and the atmosphere, thatis what makes it so special? yes, the atmosphere, and it is so different, you're not only playing for yourself, you are playing for your country and the rest of your team and you want to get through and you want to show the country that you can compete and you can play. we have got members of the gb davis cup team coming down today. are you going to get a few tips from them? maybe. yeah? what do you think you want to work on, anything? my left hand. how great is it that you have professional players here courtside? it is good because you can come and i play with your friends and family. i we all know the davis cup is about atmosphere. let's hear you, manchester! come on, gb! delight for american football fans this weekend with the new season now under way,

but perhaps not if you're a new yorkjets follower. the famous franchise were hoping new quarterback aaron rodgers would be the man to bring back the glory days, so long has the team been without success. but the news they've been dreading, this afternoon confirmed. rodgers will be out for the rest of the season after a scan confirmed a torn achilles. the four—time mvp joined the franchise in april from the green bay packers, in one of the big trades of the off—season. he'd only been on the field for a few minutes on his debut against the buffalo bills, when he landed awkwardly on his left ankle. here you see it again, he spent several minutes on the turf. before being helped off by the medical team. thejets went on to win the game 22—16 in overtime, but the victory has been overshadowed by injury to their star player. harsh for thejets, who pulled off the trade hoping he'd be able to help them win theirfirst super bowl since the 1960's. unsurprisingly, there's been a huge reaction to news of his injury on social media. firstly, here's how the nfl reported the latest development a few hours ago — saying he suffered a complete tear

of his left achilles tendon. nfljournalist kevin clark summed upjust how big a loss this is. he says... he says: congrats @nfl. earlier, i spoke to kalyn kahler, a senior writer for the athletic, and she told me it'll be tough for 39—year—old rodgers to come back. just medically speaking, aaron has said this himself, he was 90% retired in february, when he came out of that he realised he still wanted to play football. now that does concern me because the other

player who was openly speaking about the end of his career, thinking he was retired, how does this injury, this very serious injury with a long recovery. that's taking him out of this entire season, how does that affect his mental state? i would predict right now if i had to predict, i don't see him coming back to play the game. on the flip side, i could see him being very motivated by this and thinking, i can't go out like that, i'm going to do everything i can. and we know he takes very good care of his body, we know that treatment and diet and all those things, different types of modalities are very important to him. so i think he's capable of coming back from it, i'm just not sure he is mentally willing to do that. ., ., �* ., , sure he is mentally willing to do that. ., ., , that. you saw tom brady played well into his 40s. — that. you saw tom brady played well into his 40s, from _ that. you saw tom brady played well into his 40s, from the _ that. you saw tom brady played well into his 40s, from the new - that. you saw tom brady played well into his 40s, from the new england | into his a0s, from the new england patriots. is that something that rogers might look to emulate? would he want to come back and fit and fighting and helping them get

success again?— fighting and helping them get success again? fighting and helping them get success auain? ., ., �* , success again? yeah i mean it'll be really tough _ success again? yeah i mean it'll be really tough to _ success again? yeah i mean it'll be really tough to end _ success again? yeah i mean it'll be really tough to end an _ success again? yeah i mean it'll be really tough to end an nfl- success again? yeah i mean it'll be really tough to end an nfl careeri success again? yeah i mean it'll be l really tough to end an nfl career on this note. i do think he'll be motivated to maybe come back on this, because this is not how you wanted to end, and he mentioned on brady, he did set the standard for that. i think erin would be capable of doing that. you can extend your career as a quarterback these days, but i think it's very tough for defensive ends, are so athletic and fast and quick, and if you get older you just feel that any —— even more. we arejust a5 we are just a5 minutes from the kick—off at hampden park between that england and scotland. england have made six changes from their last line—up. these players will come in, you can listen to that on five life and of course there are life appetites on the b ibc website,

and he can get more reaction on that story on bbc sport �*s website as well, that's it for us on sports day, we'll see you next time. hello there. tuesday certainly brought with it a day of contrast. we had heavy rain across northern england, but after a chilly start, some lovely sunshine. further north in aberdeen, it was a beautiful afternoon. if we take a look at the satellite picture, you can see where the sunny spells were through scotland and northern ireland with a few isolated showers. but the heaviest of the rain certainly across parts of east yorkshire, lincolnshire, north norfolk and a few sharp showers ahead of it. now, this weather front will gradually drift its way south and east and clear that humidity from the south—east corner. high pressure will build, keeping things largely fine and quiet. so a murky start in the southeast. chilly start once again in scotland, but a lot of dry, sunny weather around to begin with and then

eventually clouding over from northern ireland and into western scotland. some of that rain turning quite heavy. so temperatures here 1a—16 degrees notice to fresher as we've noticably fresher as we've lost that humidity in the south—east as well, 21 the high. so through wednesday evening some of that rain will turn quite heavy as it pushes its way steadily east. and there will be some gale force gusts of winds at times just closest to the low pressure as we move through thursday. as we move through thursday. that weather front will continue to slip its way steadily south and east and will weaken considerably. and down to the southeast corner. once again, we're going to tap into a little bit more heat and humidity. so temperatures will climb again. we could see 2a degrees, that's 75 fahrenheit. but further north and west, we keep that fresher feel, 1a—17 celsius. now, as we move into thursday, we're going to see that weather front lingering and pushing up from the south—west. the position of the front still potentially subject to a little bit of change, but it's certainly the dividing line

between this warmer, more humid air pushing in from england and wales again and the fresher air through scotland and northern ireland. so you'll notice the difference with the temperatures as we go through friday. so friday we'll see some rain and some of that pretty slow moving. so there could be some issues with rainfall totals totting up, to the north of that cooler and fresher to the south, we could see temperatures as high as 25 degrees, 77 fahrenheit. that frontal system will still cause some issues as we move into the weekend. so it looks likely that the weekend is going to stay showery with heavier rain at times further north.
