the end of the regular season the top eight teams will progress into the championship round to fight the believe title while the rest will go into the relegation rounds to decide which team to go down to present all went ahead in terms of just the fall off time. on the other end netted soon after the break with an injury to one spot that you were a city under. true distance for no victory they stay night long if they've not schooled in seven games in saturday's other matches he's struggling valda playing no league spot no trick. all over england also not looking for back to back victories as they travel to rock bottom scotland for the early games two on their time to the gallows wall in other games aston villa hopes new constant place lines around the new season although good looking without injured striker emil has no racial troubles from both everton take on wigan swans if you've yet to school in four games thanks west brom wolves entertain q.p.r.

. now ireland have produced the shock result of the rugby world cup so. far by beating trying to asians champions australia fifteen six in oakland to go top of falsely with one foot in the quarterfinals all as jonathan sexton and ronan o'gara kicked two penalties each section also rallied a drop goal to james o'connor penalties or australia could manage and were left without even a losing bonus point placements the primary did look to have scored a try for the irish but the whistle had gone off somewhere so ireland as you said a top of the sea which also includes russia. and earlier in green bay argentina got their campaign back on track after losing to england overwhelmed romania forty three points to eight as south africa made it two wins from hitting with a forty nine three big trade out of fiji in group doing. well elsewhere russia are preparing for their second game of the tournament which is

against italy in nelson on cheese day but it's not all work for the world cup day returns in new zealand as which of them reports. this is russia's main home at the rugby world cup in new zealand this may picture a style of blame is located at the top of the sign for island and it's famous for being the fi front of the country's one growing industry. the locals have been doing their best to try and make the players feel at home even going as far as to help out a russian team if they get lost. but this is a very nice police the locals treat us who will give us lots of support everything is in place to help us prepare properly for the next game was the daily pass and it's fairly monotonous for the players an early wake up call followed by training lunch and another session me evening that gives the team plenty of three hours to kill however the become fairly adapt to trying to make time fly. but i wasn't sure

we do all sorts of things in our spare time we go to the cinema or go for a walk me personally i use my play station all sorts of things which. are certainly no burgers and chips for the players at lunch time of course very given carbohydrate loaded meals to keep them in the best possible shape ahead of their remaining pole matches however it's almost a relief of the team to leave the hotel and take to the field for practice which of am is the best way to pass the boredom and the anticipation of tuesday's match against italians nelson which surround an hour and a half from their training camp. joint training though we're not in a hotel very much because our schedule is packed and we're travelling to different town for our games so our sporting director trying to his best to help us relax we go to the beach or to a shooting range to release the tension of. the russians would receive quite a welcome when they finally took to the training pitch around three hundred local

farms many of whom have adopted russia's best second team in the tournament turned out to see the best practice which is more spectators and attend some russian league matches this support certainly rubbed off from players who were delighted at the turn outs which are social. part of the world cup in new zealand is really something out of the ordinary all eyes are on you here rugby skiing. you know it's long been part of the culture so every kid in the street cheers even for the underdog teams that's just great. however there was a serious matter of practice of russia's next match against italy getting underway on the twentieth of september and the players have plenty to work on ahead of back again following their opening match defeat to the usa. what was really is a fantastic morale boost for the russians the have so many people interested in their every move over here people have plenty of really taken to the bears to their hearts and both parties would like nothing more but of russia but again when this rugby world cup played r.t.

a great message to. boxing now and floyd mayweather jr is promising an entertaining fight against victor ortiz this saturday night the pair go head to head in las vegas in the w.b.c. welterweight title showdown and their way in was certainly entertaining mayweather is an undefeated world champion in five divisions and is looking leading and mean for what will be his first fight for sixteen months after coming out of retirement he weighed in just slightly less than w.b.c. welterweight champion portis he took that about him in april and the twenty four is a decade younger than me whether even though it is the underdog who is full of bravado the pack going face to face a pulled apart by their trainers my mother is set to run in excess of twenty million dollars from rebounds and assuming he wins it could fight next year. and finally efforts are being made to ensure the junior ice hockey club world cup

a final that would involve their team against the canadians the american selects and their own agenda asser winning two games against teams from latvia and slovakia the juniors from the states found themselves to be among the favorites to reach the final run them over three on the russians are out of sitting on russia. i think we feel pretty good about what we're doing right now our concern earlier where we were we are. starting to come together the boys are starting to gel you know we're getting better every period so we're looking forward to friday night standing in their way of the final on friday was the red army title holders of the n.h.l. which is a european junior league originally founded in russia that now encompasses six countries that sask proved to be near impossible affair for the visitors and there were at least a couple of reasons for that firstly the russians were by far more experienced on the international scene with teams roster boasting

a couple of under twenty world champions and said. in the local site had a huge advantage with nine thousand fans cheering on the red army our guys never played in front of a crowd like that let alone a crowd that was certainly not on our side which is awesome you know it's again it's the like we've been saying every day this was an experience that our guys will never forget and they certainly won't know the russia u.s. decider ended in favor of the home and see which went on to win the insides are intimate though than there can still to go all the way they and the rest of the visiting clubs gates invaluable experience here in siberia it's exciting i mean we're going to see him teams all year long it's great you know here i'll play some international i've never played in history experience for me personally you know i guess that's why i'm so really excited for it and i will be writing the i.i.h.f. when i return back to the states to let them know that myself and usa hockey would be tremendous supporters of this event continuing to go on and certainly one bury

my heart if it was here and almost every year because we've just had an unbelievable time well hopefully the international i spoke to federation soon finds a permanent place on its candidate for the c.q. events and more countries will join but for now say bierria is gearing up to host the next junior ice hockey club world cup ramon calls for an artsy films. and that's all sports news for. we'll. bring you the latest in science and technology from the realms of russia. we've got the future covered.
