we're into the final pool matches at the rugby world cup. the all blacks face uruguay tonight. there are big matches ahead for the home nations. wales are through to the quarterfinals. they face georgia in theirfinal pool game. but for scotland, there's still an outside they could make it there, as well. the catch? they have to overcome world number one side ireland, themselves still not officially there yet. lots to look forward on saturday. katie gornall is in paris for us. ireland have been the form side of the group, beating the world champions, south africa, in the pool. could this be their year? they will fancy it, won't they? they certainly well. you mentioned that south africa victory, that was here at this dad to france nearly two weeks ago. they showed them why they are at the number ranked side in the world. despite their ranking they have never made it past the
6:45 pm
quarterfinals. there is a feeling that now is their time to deliver, but if you speak to anyone in the ireland camp, they are certainly not looking past they are certainly not looking past the scotland game. they knew what you threat scotland does. andy farrell has named a strong side for the scotland match, making two changes from their last game. iain henderson comes in forjames ryan, who drops to the bench. dan sheehan takes over at hooker. peter amani is set to win his 100th cap. it is a match with multiple permutations around it. for ireland they know theyjust need a point to set up a likely quarterfinal andy farrell was speaking today and he is certainly not getting bogged down with that

6:48 pm
tournament, but it would be a huge upset if new zealand were going to come away from that match without getting what they need. england also play their final pool match having already qualified. they face samoa at the weekend and it's a largely changed side from the win over chile. steve borthwick is without back—rowerjack willis, though, who suffered an injury in that match. he will miss the rest of the tournament, as the england head coach explained. it is an injury around his neck. but it is an in'ury around his neck. but it is not it is an injury around his neck. but it is not particularly seriously, obviously, which is good news in the long term. obviously, which is good news in the lona term. , , ., long term. disappointed for him. disappointed _ long term. disappointed for him. disappointed he _ long term. disappointed for him. disappointed he will _ long term. disappointed for him. disappointed he will not - disappointed he will not be continuing this woke up at us but we anticipate he will be back on the field very soon. i anticipate he will be back on the field very soon.— field very soon. i appreciate you can't say who — field very soon. i appreciate you can't say who at _ field very soon. i appreciate you can't say who at this _ field very soon. i appreciate you can't say who at this point, - field very soon. i appreciate you can't say who at this point, but l can't say who at this point, but what sort of timescale would you be looking at and getting a replacement to camp? looking at and getting a replacement to cam - ? , .,. looking at and getting a replacement tocam-? , ., looking at and getting a replacement tocam? , ., , to camp? replacement should be in cam b to camp? replacement should be in camp by the — to camp? replacement should be in camp by the start — to camp? replacement should be in camp by the start of _ to camp? replacement should be in camp by the start of next _ to camp? replacement should be in camp by the start of next week. - replacement should be in camp by the start of next week.
6:49 pm
england are looking to maintain their 100% winning record with victory at the stade mauroy in lille. a last—eight clash is likely to be against fiji, who they lost to at twickenham just before the world cup. 0ur reporter patrick geary spoke to me earlier and we started by talking about the team selected by steve borthwick. that team which england had named for the game against samoa on saturday, which will take place down the road at the big stadium just outside the city in lille, does feature george ford and owen farrell, starting for the first time since 2021 together. that was a combination that was relied upon and encompassed my class run to the final of a world cup. it looks like thatis final of a world cup. it looks like that is the way steve borthwick will go for the rest of the tournament. 0wen farrell is on the brink of becoming encompassed my all—time top scorer for england. becoming encompassed my all—time top scorerfor england. tom curry comes back after being suspended in the first game of the tournament. manu tuilagi will face the country of his

6:51 pm
liquidation after funding problems. they're the fourth professional club in england to collapse in a year following premiership sides worcester, wasps and london irish. the man at the top of english rugby, bill sweeney, insists he still has the passion and energy to lead the game, but admits the system has to change to ensure a sustainable future. this was a complete surprise to us and you may say, why would set a surprise, why didn't you knew this was coming? but the last business plan submission from jersey was in june of this year, which was looked up june of this year, which was looked up our club financial viability group. they were projecting to make a loss but they also had plans in place in terms of their growth plans and future direction and their investors, which led us to believe that things were under control. there were no alarm bells at that stage. quite often people say to me just copy the french model. but it is very different over here. i was
6:52 pm
talking to a french club owner this week, his attendances are 10,000 people. wejust don't week, his attendances are 10,000 people. we just don't have that. the average attendance in the championship is 1300. it will take a long time to develop this properly. also in france if you are a club in certain parts of the country your club is at the heart attack community, the municipality give you that stadium forfree, community, the municipality give you that stadium for free, there are tax benefits for players, it is a very distant system. we need to find the right solution to a problem that has been that for quite some time regarding the future development of the championship. it takes up a huge amount of ourtime the championship. it takes up a huge amount of our time and resources and effort. frankly, it is not our role to prop up financially failing businesses, so that was that topic, but it has enabled us not to get into things like the financial monitoring panel, to set up advance
6:53 pm
warning systems and checks and balances around the future direction of clubs, so that is a positive. let's turn our attentions to gymnastics now. it's another huge event in the calender with the world championships taking place in antwerp. simone biles on her return has been on form, helping the usa to a seventh consecutive team gold yesterday. the men's all—around final takes place today, with british interest in that one. let's get the latest with our correspondent natalie pirks who's there for us. natalie, what can we expect from this event later? james hall and jake jarman are james hall and jakejarman are in the main's all—round final. 2a gymnast, they qualified fourth and fifth respectively. they have just got started on the floor, jake with a good routine to put him up to third with still a few other gymnast to go in this first rotation. 14.5 for him on the floor. james was all smiles after his routine, which is in stark contrast to tuesday night because it was the main's team final
6:54 pm
and they didn't have the best night, in particular mistakes really cost them and they ended up losing up on plants to the united states. james's team—mates call him the postman because he always delivers, but i think it was a bad night at the office because he had mistakes on the pommel horse in the first rotation, then when britain were in second place he fell from the high bar and ultimately mistakes like that they cost them. he will be looking to make amends tonight. jake jarman pulled off an absolutely spectacular fault and that team final. it is coming off the back of a brilliant 2022, winning four commonwealth golds, the first english gymnast to do so at a single games. he is the current european single medallist in the all—around and evolved. for him he says the biggest aim is that he makes the team for paris. it biggest aim is that he makes the team for paris.— biggest aim is that he makes the

6:56 pm
a reminder of our top story, england lost by nine wickets in the opening game of the cricket world cup. you can get more on that on the bbc sport website. we will see you next time. hello. much of europe is seeing some significant october heat at the moment and the uk no exception — things are going to be warming up over the next few days. it was a bit of a mixed picture on thursday. here was some sunshine in cornwall, but further north many of us had more cloud and outbreaks of rain, so keswick, in cumbria, a fairly drizzly story a little bit earlier on on thursday. the next few days, yes, some rain around, mainly towards the north, but i think we're all going to notice that the temperatures will be gradually rising, especially through the course of the weekend. for the rest of the evening and overnight, we've got some wet
6:57 pm
weather through parts of wales, the midlands. later in the night, more rain into parts of northern ireland and southern scotland, as well. either side of that, some clearer, drier weather and it's going to be a mild night, much milder than last night across scotland with lows between about ten to 15 degrees to start your friday. that's more typical of daytime temperatures this time of year. through the day on friday, some more wet weather for northern ireland, southern scotland, parts of northern england, as well. further south across england and for much of wales a predominantly dry day. some mist and some low cloud, particularly around coats and hills towards the west. sunny spells, but cooler conditions across the north of scotland, so the mid—teens here, but 22 or 23 degrees possible down towards the south—east. heading on into the weekend we've got this frontal system, and it's going to be really slow moving, bringing some rain on saturday. that divides the cool air across the far north of scotland to the much warmer, humid air that's going to be piling in from the south. saturday, plenty of dry, sunny weather for much of england, wales, northern ireland too. a bit of cloud and mistiness. for scotland, it is going to be pretty wet under that rain. there could be some localised flooding. temperatures for most of us 19
6:58 pm
to 25 degrees or so, but only around ten to 15 with the cooler air and the rain across parts of scotland, so a day of real contrast. we've still got this front with us into sunday, but it starts to lift a bit further north and it will tend to turn a little bit lighter and patchier through the day. still some rain in the far north across parts of scotland on sunday, but for the rest of the uk another fine, dry day with autumn sunshine around. probably not quite as warm as saturday, but still temperatures up to about 23 degrees in the south—east, typically the mid—teens, though, across parts of scotland. so the outlook — lots of dry, warm weather for parts of england and wales over the next five days or so. a few showers further north, but temperatures for all of us will be above average for the time of year. bye— bye.
