earlier on eddiejones named his england team to start the match. from that being that george ford returns to the starting line—up at fight half with the captain moving out to the centres. england will be confident after their victory in the quarterfinals over australia but new zealand haven't lost a world cup match for some 12 yea rs. lost a world cup match for some 12 years. they will be the favourite when the two teams meet in yokohama on saturday. andy swiss reporting there. on to football and arsenal made it three wins out of three, in the europa league but they had to come from behind at home to vitoria guimaraes to maintain their 100% record. twice the portuguese side led through goals from marcus edwards and bruno duarte. but twice they were pegged back with gabriel martinelli and nicolas pepe equalising for the gunners. the match was heading for a draw until pepe popped up with the winner in stoppage time. pepe is a very good player and we believe in him totally. also, the way he is doing is sometimes feeling better, sometimes feeling more

eddiejones has kept faith with the same team that beat the all blacks. his england side will face south africa in a repeat of the 2007 rugby world cup final. craig levein has been sacked as manager of hearts, with only goal difference keeping the club off the bottom of the scottish premiership table. and, as she attempts to become a two—weight world champion, boxer katie taylor tells us what pushes her to become the best. i love breaking down barriers and being a trailblazer in the sport and to bea being a trailblazer in the sport and to be a pioneer in the sport is absolutely huge for me. welcome to sportsday. we are inching, hour by hour, minute by minute, ever closer to that rugby world cup final on saturday in japan between england and south africa. today, head coach eddiejones named an unchanged side to the one that beat new zealand so comprehensively in the semifinal last weekend. he also declared that his side are ready to produce their finest performance. from tokyo, here's our correpsondent andy swiss. hardly surprising that eddiejones is sticki

jones said he wouldn't be where he was without him so an emotional day for eddiejones. hope is england team can rise to their biggest challenge this world cup so far against argentina here in tokyo on saturday. reporting from tokyo, thank you. and there's live commentary of england against argentina on bbc radio 5 live — coverage is from 8am, the match gets underway at 9. get the cattle on. there was one match in the tournament today and it was a convincing win for south africa, beating italy by 49—3 to take a huge step towards the quarter—finals. they ran in seven tries, cheslin colby getting two of them. that ensured a bonus point for south africa. italy were reduced to 1a men for most of the second half after andrea lovotti was sent off for a dangerous tackle, dropping duane vermuelen on his head. the win took south africa above italy to the top of their pool, and the italians' hopes of progressing now rest on beating new zealand for the first time. exeter recorded a bonus point win at worcester in the premiership rugby cup. tom howe ran in a hat—trick of tries for t

can eddiejones's africa in the world cup final. team africa in the world cup final. can eddiejones's team left rugby union's greatest prize? as andy was mentioning, south africa have been able to bring back kolbe into their side. he missed a semifinal with an ankle injury. they are looking to be the first team to win after losing a game in the pool stages. especially going through the pool stages and injuring against italy, probably the last few seconds of the game. i have been training for the past two weeks so i'm really confident as a player, i'm back to my old self. my uncle has healed nicely and i am grateful to get another opportunity to wear the jersey and especially playing in the final. for wales, after their agonising semifinal they have had to get ready for the third and fourth placed final. warren gatland's last game in charge. he has left a fantastic legacy in terms of his results and the success he's had since 2008 and the development of a lot of good players coming through, his knowledge and what he has done for our

you can always guarantee eddiejones comes out with a funny line or two, eddiejones comes out with a funnyweeks. you talk about a bit of confidence in the camp, are those events off four years ago behind them now, do you think?” events off four years ago behind them now, do you think? i guess you could say is it is so far, so good. two wins, no injuries, no controversies, england are almost flying under the radar a little bit which would suit them but as you say they know how quickly things can change and argentina remember are fighting for their world cup survival. there coach has called this match a final for them because if they lose it, they are out of the world cup. they have blown hot and cold so far, they were terrible in the first half against france. very impressive in the second half. if they can replicate that sort of form than their physicality could be a real threat to england. 0ne than their physicality could be a real threat to england. one word also on the weather here in tokyo, it is very hot indeed! temperatures up it is very hot indeed! temperatures up into the 30s so it

and eddiejones, he is quite a remarkable character.s are never saying we haven't done anything, we are not the best team in the world, you go and prove it. that is his message. he is a great motivator. he has done brilliantly with england. the question about that. what about the tournament, are you enjoying it? it was interrupted by the terrible typhoon. it seemed to play havoc with it for a while. on the other hand, it has been successful. the japanese have taken it to their hearts. absolutely. and it to their hearts. absolutely. and it has made it into a proper world tournament. onto a part of the world that it has never been to before. and the japanese are pretty organised and don't let a bit of weather stop them. a typhoon, ok, we will carry on as best as we can. i think this british spirit of, you know, not necessarily saying we are the best, but we are going to try and do our best and then hopefully we will be the best rather than being too cocky and assuming that they deserve to win. they think that is great team spirit —— i thi

eddiejones says he believes his team can play even better than they did on saturday, but others havesouth africa that he believes some teams peak for the semifinal and then struggle to match that level in the final, a comment which produced a typically lively response from eddie jones. guys, can you just send my best wishes to warren and make sure he enjoys the third and fourth play—off? said with a smile squarely on his face... the two go back a long way... they have a very rivalry. sale sharks are sending flanker ben curry to watch his brother tom in japan. ben was scheduled to play for sale on friday, but is flying out thanks to twitter. thousands of the clubs followers responded to posts which carried the hastag #getbentojapan. i think it was something that was engraved in us from a young age, whether it was rugby,

but they are professionals, eddiejones knows what it takes to win world cups.ll be his, the captain's, and the management team's job to disabuse anyone that this is a job done. it means nothing unless they win the final, but i'm sure they are aware of that. and who would you place your bets on, in terms of going into the final against england next week? i said this morning that england would go through. i think that south africa will go through. i would rather as an englishman play south africa, not because i dislike wales, but i think the domestic element and the familiarity would not play into england's hands. and what is your advice now for the england team going forward in the next few days to prepare for that big match? they need a couple of days rest and relaxation. not unfocused, not using energy, butjust taking time to have a bit of thought process away from rugby, then the hard work will start after a day's reflection. and it will be hard work. any stars in the team that people should look out for next week? i think the whole team was deserving of a me

eddiejones has sprung one major surprise in naming his england team to face australia.ge ford misses out. our sports editor dan roan, sent this earlier from oita, where the match is taking place. welcome to southern japan. this is where both england and wales will play their quarterfinals against australia and france respectively this weekend. this is the fan fest, the focal point for the matches over the focal point for the matches over the coming days. this morning at the england team hotel head coach eddie jones announced his team and there will be one big piece of news, george ford was starting six on the set of matches at the half has been dropped and it means that the captain shifts to number ten and henry comes into the midfield elsewhere courtney comes in and pola replaces joe elsewhere courtney comes in and pola replacesjoe in the elsewhere courtney comes in and pola replaces joe in the front elsewhere courtney comes in and pola replacesjoe in the front row. with a big talking point was that gamble ofa a big talking point was that gamble of a selection to take

he's in the eye of the storm but eddiejones is the epitome of calm. all the pressure is on the all blacks. we hear from jones ahead of their huge semi—final. wales are gearing up to their semifinal and warren gatland names his side to face south africa but will be injuries impact their chances of getting to their first everfinal? and the former heavyweight world champion tyson fury says he'll definitely fight deontay wilder in a re—match — but don't ask him what he thinks about his old foe. i have no interest in what deontay wilder says or does to be fair. there you go. also coming up in the programme. it's a year since the tragic death of the leicester chief executive in a helicopter crash. the players pay tribute to vichai srivaddhanaprabha ahead of the opening of a memorial garden this weekend. and, on the pitch for the first time in 12 years — the great britain rugby league lions play against tonga in hamilton. very warm welcome to the programme. but we start with rugby because it's do or die for england as they prepare to take on the defending ch

coach eddiejones has made a number of changes for england's semifinal against new zealand tomorrow.rica on sunday. from tokyo, our sports editor dan roan reports. they weren't the conditions england would have chosen to train in, but nothing was going to prevent final preparations for the biggest game of their lives. the reign of eddiejones began after the last world cup ended in failure, but having guided this team to the brink of the final, the head coach told me just how much it meant. i'm pleased we've put pride back into english rugby. i'm pleased for this group of players. a lot of them had to endure 2015. it was a tough time for them. they've been exceptional in the way they've attacked this world cup and saturday's a great opportunity for us to attack the new zealanders. 2a years ago, england met the full force of the all blacks in a world cup semifinal. the four tries scored by the late greatjonah lomu giving rugby some of its most iconic moments and adding to the mystique that surrounds a team known as the greatest in sport. from tv commercials to billboards, the all black

eddiejones will have one change to his squad forced upon him too, as andy swiss explains.d have been continuing their preparations ahead of the final on saturday and there was a new face at the training session. scrum—half ben spencer has arrived as a replacement for willi heinz after he was injured during the victory over the all blacks on saturday. spencer is expected to be named on the bench for the final so he could be making his world cup debut on saturday which would be some story. as well as him, the rest of the england players were out there training, including jonny may, 0wen farrell and kyle sinckler who have been recovering from injuries they picked up at the weekend. england say they expect all of them to be fine for saturday and they are looking forward to the challenge of facing south africa. they are very big people, but then again we have a few big blokes on our team, they have already come out and said they will fight fire with fire, so bring it on. it is a final, you have to front up to it, and it is one of their biggest assets, so something we have been

eddiejones recovered from an ankle injury. eddie jones team have recovered from an ankle injury.o this world cup seen something other work in progress but he now believes england have found a winning form you. we've worked hard oi'i winning form you. we've worked hard on creating training situations to equip the players. the players have worked hard off the field. to handle situations well. like anything, it isa situations well. like anything, it is a bit like a tea bag, isn't it? you don't know how good it is until you put it in the hot walker. eddie jones was very emotional at the press c0 nfe re nce jones was very emotional at the press conference following the news of the death of one of his own rugby heroes, jeff sayle, who coached jones when he was a player at the australian side randwick and achieved a huge amount of success there. jones said he wouldn't be where he was without him so an emotional day for eddie jones. he'll 110w emotional day for eddie jones. he'll now hope is england team can rise to their biggest challenge this world cup so faragainst their biggest chall

well, a huge amount of credit‘s got to go to eddiejones.le, including me i have to say, didn‘t think that was the right thing. but he picked the two ostensible number sevens in the back row. and he was confident enough to bring all of his bench on against the double world champions and defend what was quite a slender lead. and at the end of the day, he‘s been proved absolutely right. but this is the point, if they don‘t win the final, all this is for nothing. and just in terms of their preparation, theirfitness, how much of that has played a part in getting them to the finalfor next week? i remember eddiejones saying to me when he first came here, "these players are not fit enough. the premiership is slow." i remember thinking, "are you sure about that?" he‘s absolutely right. the intensity at this level, and certainly in the final, is far and above anything that people play in domestically. he was absolutely right to have the sessions he has had even though people complained along the way. the headlines on bbc news: police charge maurice r

eddiejones said it would like there was someone eddiejones said it would like there was someone filmingt it might‘ve been someone application that it might‘ve been someone from the new zealand camp. the new zealand coach was asked if he had ever spied on other team's sessions in the past. i have not done it since... 2000... i better do my numbers right for sub 2001, we used to do it. just don't need to do it any more. because you see everything. you can watch everyone's training on youtube or whatever there is. there is everything out there. there is no advantage in doing that now. absolutely zero. and more calls for an independent review into austrian rugby is the team returned home from the world cup. they were knocked out in the quarterfinals by england and though rugby austria have pledged their own review, former players and pundits fear that won't go far enough aside —— rugby australia. onto tennis now and there was a shock at the swiss indoors tennis as alex zverev was knocked out by taylor fritz. the american won the opening set on a tie—break, which gave him momentum into the s

the cancellation of the last game means eddiejones's cancellation of the last game means eddie jones'sdiejones's team have had better preparation than his homeland, and australia's head coach is in exactly the shy type stop yes, well, i saw that he was saying that that would be an advantage, and at the typhoon gods were smiling on him. so i suppose they had better win. they have had the best preparation, according to the coach, so they had better get out there and win, if thatis better get out there and win, if that is the best possible preparation. we will see how we go. come the weekend, the soundbites will be background noise. eight teams have worked for four years to win the next three matches. in the land of the rising sun, high noon is near. he has been asked the question for months, and he has finally answered it. roger federer has announced that he will compete at next year's tokyo olympics, when he will be 39. federer has won all four of the grand slams as well as the atp tour finals six times, but an olympic singles gold has eluded him. he missed the rio games through injury,

to come — if you thought england's performance couldn't get any better at the world cup — coach eddiejonesming up on bbc news, booed by his own fans and now criticised for his reaction, arsenal capital granit xhaka is asked to apologise for his behaviour during the draw with crystal palace. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. the eu has extended the deadline for brexit — meaning the uk will not now leave this thursday, as promised repeatedly by the prime minister. eu leaders have put forward a "flextension" — making the new deadline the end of january 2020 — but meaning that brexit could happen before then if parliament approves a deal. mps will vote later on boris johnson's plan for a general election on december 12 — with opposition parties proposing one on december 9th. let's go over now to simon mccoy, who's in westminster. thanks reeta — yes, so borisjohnson‘s ‘do or die', no ‘ifs or buts‘ pledge to leave the eu this thursday — looks dead.. with many here believing that the option of a no—deal brexit is now parked until at least that eu extension date of january the 31s

chris, what do we read into eddiejone's selection..sive solidity. lots of chat around australia's ball carriers and the inside centre and the rookie at outside centre, and just like stuart lancaster four yea rs just like stuart lancaster four years ago when the crunch has come and the heat has been turned up, eddiejones has and the heat has been turned up, eddie jones has put and the heat has been turned up, eddiejones has put george ford on the bench and it seems it's not like four years ago when lancaster threw in an untried centre pairing with sam burgess and brad barritt. these guys, sam burgess and brad barritt. these guys, to a lively and slade paid in the six nations and would have played against france if the game had not been called off, so because jones couldn't use them last week, it seems like a selection bombshell this time around and it's got everybody talking about it. that is the standout line to come from the line—up. as far as ireland are concerned, it doesn't get tougher than the world champions, new zealand, and the

eddiejones laughing at suggestions.ahead of that crucial semifinal to come. looking very calm as he faces the media. we wonder if that will continue as we head ever closer towards kick—off on saturday morning at o'clock in nearby yokohama. —— nine o'clock. as for the all blacks, one of their players has been making an impression on social media and easy to see why. this is jack goodhue and his impressive mullett. even the new zealand prime minister jacinda ardern has commented on it. and he says he's not getting rid of it, because "there's scientific evidence that it makes him faster." we will see if that helps his side against england! it has helped so far. to the champions league, and two more impressive displays from english sides. a couple of great goals from alex 0xlade chamberlain helped liverpool to a good win, whilst a late goal gave chelsea three points. austin halewood rounds up the action. a warm welcome for the champions of europe. genk had not faced liverpool in their 31—year history but it did not take lon

like eddiejones, warren it won't be a rerun of 1995.arren gatland it won't be a rerun of 1995. like eddiejones, warren gatland has been around the block a few times. he should know how to play things as well but they come out of a very different game don't they. that one—point win against the french in which warren gatland pretty much admitted they got away with one. but the good thing is, they have got this momentum behind them of winning. no matter what sort of adversity they go through, they seem to come through. let's hope from a welsh point of view that some of the players, jonathan davies, those important players, are fit for the semifinal. for them to win against south africa, they are going to need everything in their squad to do so. new zealand are favourites, but you just never know. it is very exciting but i am very hopeful for england andi but i am very hopeful for england and i will keep my fingers crossed for wales because they are a northern hemisphere team and it would be nice to see them in a final. you might have watch

england's game against france is one of those cancelled, but eddiejones says the typhoon gods are smilinghis side with nine clear days to prepare for the knockout stage. it's the last thing scotland need, they have to beat japan on sundayto make it out of their pool, but their match is also under threat. also coming up in the programme... three of the home nations are in euro qualifying action...nothern ireland are in rotterdam for their match against the netherlands. and a phenomenal fifth all—around world title for simone biles, another record for the american superstar. it was always a risk taking the rugby world cup to japan in typhoon season. a month ago, when teams were just arriving for the tournament, three people died, and a million homes lost power during typhoon faxai. typhoon hagibis, is much, much bigger and predicted to make landfall near tokyo on saturday. organisers have ta ken the unprecedented step of cancelling two matches — england against france and new zealand v italy. sunday's games in the region could follow, and that would be bad news for scotland. more on that in

good night to the countdown is on and england head coach eddiejones has named named an unchanged teamarrell will continue at centre. george ford stays at fly—half. this is the team walk—about after training in tokyo ahead of saturday's final. we heard from head coach eddiejones today, he says they've been building up to this moment for four years. we also heard from hooker jamie george about the influence of the captain, and the emotional team meetings he holds, for only the players on the eve of matches. he leads from the front. he is incredibly committed in the way that he performs, the way that he carries himself day in and day out. that is the sort of person we want to follow. i think also he has developed in terms of his messaging to the team and how he builds that up to the team and how he builds that up towards the game on saturday. he makes his messaging through the week is brilliant and it makes the team feel ready for saturday. it builds our confidence through the week. a large part of that is down to him.. south africa have been able to bring back wing cheslin kolbe into th

so, the question for eddiejones, world cup title.2? world cup title. so, the question for eddie jones, how db2? one of those things where ye, something she can teach on something she have to learn from experience. there are days that great story of the guy hanging of the cliff and he said my skills are scripted, the only thing that can stop is my mind. it is so true in big games. it is how we were able to play your focus at that particular moment. that is not the only rugby we have, the league lions play their first tour match for 12 yea rs. play their first tour match for 12 years. well, we can take your life to hamilton in new zealand, but they are up against a pretty tight team. after around— hour it is still zero all. this is the first of four matches for the lions, they face new zealand twice, their papa new guinea educate follow this game live bbc two. there are highlights of bbc one this afternoon. we have got plenty as for bill, as well. we are joint now for football focus. i as for bill, as well. we are joint now forfootball

here is what eddiejones said a couple of hours ago.me hard. they got a history of being the most physically intimidating team in the world so we are going to take that away from them and the boys know what is ahead of them. everyone knows what is it state. world-class, very dangerous winger, missing the semi—final against wales. he's been named in the starting 15. the only change to the starting 15. the only change to the squad. all the predictions are, this could be a very tight encounter despite the way england played but if they can do it, they will emulate the team for 2003. jonny wilkinson, martinjohnson the team for 2003. jonny wilkinson, martin johnson and the the team for 2003. jonny wilkinson, martinjohnson and the rest. very few english rugby teams have gone to this territory. there were, frankly, some ridiculous goals in the league cup last night — not least in a 10 goal thriller liverpool were 4—2 down to arsenal when alex oxlade—chamberlain took aim from outside the box. arsenal then resored their two goal lead whenjoe wil

the reign of eddiejones began after the last world cup ended in failure, but having guided this teampride back into english rugby. i'm pleased for this group of players. a lot of them had to endure 2015, it was a tough time for them. they've been exceptional in the way they've attacked this world cup and saturday's a great opportunity for us to attack the new zealanders. 2a years ago, england met the full force of the all blacks in a world cup semifinal. the four tries scored by the late greatjonah lomu giving rugby some of its most iconic moments and adding to the mystique that surrounds a team known as the greatest in sport. from tv commercials to billboards, the all blacks' popularity here injapan is obvious, as they aim for a third successive world cup triumph. but one of the team who lifted the trophy in 2011 told me the reigning champions have their work cut out. you believe england can win this game, against new zealand? oh, for sure, 100%. i'm nervous! really? i'm nervous, i'm nervous, mate. i've played england before and just seen how quality they are throughout the world cu

that was one of their great wins, certainly the most important of coach eddiejones's tenure.m target of reaching the last four but now his team have achieved that in such a fashion and they believe they can go all the way. dan roan, bbc news. if they want to go all the way — they'll have to do something no side has managed at a world cup since 2007. beat new zealand. the all—blacks brushed ireland aside 46—14 in tokyo, watching by correspondent andy swiss. for ireland, it was time to face rug bys for ireland, it was time to face rugbys ultimate challenge... new zealand are the champions, for many the favourites and this was a night when they showed exactly why. as ilan‘s hopes were dozen legally destroyed. two early tries for aaron smith and by the time beauden barrett raced clear, his team were also out of sight. 22—0 at the break, the game surely over. then, damage limitation for ireland and when robbie henshaw finally break the duck, it was soon to be the all blacks and beauden barrett's brother jordie barrett that had the final say. they will take some stopping but for ir

i remember eddiejones saying to me when he first came here that these players are not fit enough.re you sure about that?" he is absolutely right. the intensity at this level, and certainly in the final, is far and above anything that people playing domestically. he was absolutely right to have the sessions he has had. even though people complained along the way. a man wanted by essex police in connection with the investigation into the deaths of 39 people found in a lorry is arrested in dublin. england are into the final of the rugby world cup —— after beating defending champions new zealand 19—7 in yokohama. and the dup leader arlene foster vows to keep opposing borisjohnson's brexit deal unless changes are made. in sport, england through to the world cup final, but who they face next? it could be wales, they play south africa tomorrow morning. hoping to which their world cup final. manchester city close the gap on premier league leaders liverpool to three points, but they come to a 3-0 to three points, but they come to a 3—0 win against aston villa. elsewhere, west ham and beati

in the wake of that failure, the rfu invested heavily, they brought in the australian coach eddiejonesutting the pride back into english rugby and reaching the semifinals of this tournament. well, here this evening, he just went one better, and in doing so, his team have dethroned the superpowers of world rugby, the all blacks. this ends a run of six defeats against them. the last time england beat the all blacks was in 2012. they will have to wait untiltomorrow, of course, england, to discover who they will play in next week's final, either wales or south africa. but after a performance and a win that will never be forgotten, they now know they'll go into that final as firm favourites. as you would expect, england fans leaving the match were delighted with the teams performance. we caught up with a few of them. the way those boys played today out there for us was absolutely incredible. it was relentless from start to finish. bearing in mind that was the all blacks they were playing against, is that as good as you've ever seen them play? yeah, i would say the defence was amazing. absol

i know eddiejones has some concerns about their fitness coming into this.w. where will they be doing to go now. where will they be doing to prepare for that final?” to go now. where will they be doing to prepare for that final? i think at this stage there is not a huge amount tactically or in terms of systems, defence, attack, place, not a lot they will work on or looking to change. a few tweaks here and there, a few different options but i think this week is all about resting up. they have had a tough six or seven games in the world cup and build up to the world cup. and if anything, today i thought the fitness looked incredible. after that 20 minutes, that first 20 minutes, the biggest worry for me, fantastic to see how well they had done and dominated in every aspect of the game, breakdowns, set pieces, everything but the worry was how long can they keep this tempo of? they managed to keep it up for the full 80 plus minutes commit which is massively impressive against the all blacks. i think this week, they will be spending probably more time in the clas

eddiejones and michael cheika. there has been a bit of war of words.loyal to their players. but what is going to bea their players. but what is going to be a fantastic match. you mentioned that 0wen farrell has been moved to fly half. how much is that going to impact on england. it was probably his plan all along. i think 0wen farrell defensively is slightly stronger than george but george's ability to read the game, the impact he had when he came on. give us a score prediction then. between seven and ten points, england win. wide thank you very much for that. you can keep track -- track you can keep track of both this morning's matches on bbc radio 5 live. full live commentary of england's game which gets underway at 0815 comes first, before ireland's match against the all blacks at 1115. wales play france tomorrow. bristol kicked off the rugby union premiership season with a thumping seven try win over bath. winger luke morahan scored twice for the bears, including this in the closing seconds of the match to seal a 43—16 win. andy murray is through t

head copach eddiejones has been speaking to our sports editor dan roan, who asked him how to beat a teamt hasn't lost a world cup match in 12 years. new zealand you cannot sit and be a spectator, you have to be on the stage and making the script and we plan to make the script on saturday. only a few months ago, i remember a member of the state six nations showing a good start and then you ta ke showing a good start and then you take the mental block out and how have you address that and a short space of time? a lot of it is experience and you from experience, one of those things where generally some things you can't take and some things he can learn from experience and the teams work much harder of the field if they are a tidy unit and it gets them through more difficult situations on the field. they're smart togetherness now. difficult situations on the field. they're smart togetherness nowli know they're smart togetherness nowi know cell and that is a great credit to the senior players and the staff has done a greatjob and created a tea m has done a greatjob and created a team environm

and coach eddiejones has shuffled the starting line—up once again.. yes, england have madejust one change to the team that beat australia in the quarterfinals but it isa australia in the quarterfinals but it is a significant change. fly half george ford has been recalled to the starting line—up. he began all of england's group games injapan but was dropped from the starting line—up for the quarterfinal against australia. henry slade was selected instead. but coach eddiejones has decided to go back to how things were, so george ford is backing the tea m were, so george ford is backing the team and henry slade has been dropped to the bench. apart from that, it is the same team that faced australia, star wingerjonny may has been named in the team despite some concerns over a hamstring injury. england are facing of the toughest tests in world rugby, because new zealand are the favourites, the world number one team, and they have not lost a world cup match for some 12 years, but the england coach believes his team are fully prepared. we are ready for the

that is what eddiejones will focus on.bt he will have a plan, he always does, to take on the south africans. they are serious opponents. they won the rugby championship and came above new zealand in the southern hemisphere tournament this year. the england team will start as favourites. sport, and for a full round up, we go over to the bbc sport centre. here's 0lly foster. we have just heard from alun wyn jones, and he says, we stayed in the arm wrestle. that is how he described that match. it was a cagey affair, as dan was saying. he was proud of them when they went to 16-16, but proud of them when they went to 16—16, but south africa took advantage. we fell short, but hopefully we will get another opportunity. it wasn't our day, but i'm still proud to pull this jersey on and represent all the people in red in the stadium. and they were there, weren't they, in numbers? next saturday's world cup final will be between england and south africa, a repeat of the 2007 final in paris. in the last 20 minutes, wales lost their sem

england head coach eddiejones, says all the pressure is off his side, ahead of their semi—final againstgby world cup. the all—blacks start as firm favourites. from tokyo, here's our sports editor, dan roan. preparing for the game of their lives, they trained in the range is one when away from a first world cup final ini2 one when away from a first world cup final in 12 years and all it stands is to make in their way, but the man believes his team is nothing to lose. do you think that they're under more pressure than new england? we don't have any pressure. no one thinks we can win. new zealand talk about them walking towards the pressure, blood this week, the pressure is going be chasing them down the street. that is the reality of it. the convincing court of final victory at the weekend was a defining moment in his tenure, but he now seems intent on trying to unsettle a team he describes as the greatest in the history of sport. they have to deal with all this pressure of winning the world cup three times, potentially a last game for the greatest captain and they're going to be thinking

coach eddiejones says the pressure‘s on the all blacks. in sport on bbc news — after a torrid start to the season for tottenham, can they get back on track in the champions league later? they host red star belgrade. good evening from westminster, where in an hour's time mps will begin voting on the prime minister's brexit deal. if he wins he'll be a step closer to delivering his promise of brexit on 31st october. if he loses he could abandon his brexit legislation and push instead for a general election, but what's in the deal mps are voting on shortly? it includes a transition period when the uk will still abide by the eu's rules to give time to negotiate a new trade deal. it ensures that eu and uk citizens retain their rights on residency and social security and it says the uk will pay around £33 billion to the eu in a so—called divorce bill, but it ditches the backstop that was in theresa may's deal — and instead essentially draws a new customs border in the irish sea. that first vote could be close — tonight could be the first time mps

the reign of eddiejones began after the last world cup ended in failure.ad coach told me just how much it meant. i am pleased we have put pride back into english rugby. i'm pleased for this group of players. a lot of them had to endure 2015. it was a tough time for them. they've been exceptional in the way they have attacked this world cup and saturday is a great opportunity for us to attack the new zealanders. 2a years ago, england met the full force of the all blacks in a world cup semifinal. the four tries scored by the late, greatjonah lomu giving rugby some of its most iconic moments and adding to the mystique that surrounds a team known as the greatest in sport. from tv commercials to billboards, the all blacks' popularity injapan is obvious as they aim for a third successive world cup triumph. but one of the team who lifted the trophy in 2011 told me the reigning champions have their work cut out. you believe england can win this game against new zealand? for sure, 100%. i'm nervous about this. really? i'm nervous about it. i've played england befor

in the wake of that failure, the rfu invested heavily, bringing in australian coach eddiejones, theynglish rugby, and reaching the semifinals of this tournament. well, here this evening, he just went one better, and in doing so, his team have dethroned the superpowers of world rugby, the all blacks. it ends a run of six defeats against them, the last time england beat the all blacks was in 2012. they will have to wait until tomorrow, england, to discover who they will play in next week's final, either wales or south africa. but after a performance and a win that will never be forgotten, they now know they will go into the final as firm favourites. the england head coach eddiejones said his side the democratic unionist leader arlene foster has underlined her party's opposition to the proposed brexit deal in her speech to the dup conference this afternoon. mrs foster has accused borisjohnson of breaking commitments he gave at the event last year. she warned that her party would not lend it's crucial ten votes to passing the withdrawal agreement... to passing the withdrawal agreement. 0

we heard from eddiejones today.e influence of the captain owen farrell and these team meetings that he holds only for the players on the eve of matches. first of all, he leads from the front and he is incredibly committed the way he performs on the way he carries himself day in a day out. that's the sort of person that you want to follow. i think also he has developed in terms of his messaging to the team and how he builds up to the game on saturday and his messaging throughout the week is brilliant and it makes the team feel so ready on saturday and it builds our confidence up throughout the week. i think a large part of that is down to him. martinjohnson was the last english captain to lift that webb ellis trophy in 2003, the only man to lift that trophy. south africa will be taking their inspiration from 2007 when they beat england in the paris final at that tournament. they have made one change. wing cheslin kolbe coming back into the side. come on, england! i'm not allowed to express come on, england! i'm not a

head coach eddiejones is expected to have a fully—fit squad when he names his 23 tomorrow.rry and sam underhill impressed, they'll likely be two of the first names on the team—sheet but how, in the biggest game of your career, do you keep your emotions under control? difficult things are probably staying calm, staying collected. i think with any big game, the sort of sense of occasion is already there, the excitement is already there in the excitement is already there in the background, so i don't think it ta kes too the background, so i don't think it takes too much to take it to another level in terms of physically or emotionally, i think when you turn up, generally speaking, that's there. so i think the difficult thing is sort of building up, you know, so you peek at the right time for me you are not getting over excited. you are not getting carried away before the game. and lastly, the nba is under way with defending champions the toronto raptors getting off to a winning start against the new orleans pelicans last night. last season they became the first canadian side t

england have heard from the england head coach eddiejones.r superb victory over new zealand in the semifinals, butjones says there can be no room complacency against the power of the springboks. the only really worried you know, they won a and when you're final and when you're final of- and when you're final of the i and when you're done a lot of things right. there are massively aggressive physical forward pack. they probably play their stronger team in the second half as opposed to the first half, and they will be a difficult side to beat. eddie jones says he believes his team can play even better than they did on saturday, but others have been raising a few questions. the wales coach warren gatland said after his team's defeat to south africa that he believes some teams peek for the semifinal and then struggle to match that level in the final, a comment which produced a typically lively response from eddie jones. guys, can youjust typically lively response from eddie jones. guys, can you just send typically lively response from eddie jones

that is probably the most complete performance under eddiejones. pain and a lot of ha rd making a lot of pain and a lot of hard work for every team who has competed in the world cup, but this world cup, england have been so confident that they will take a huge amount of toppling the number one tea m amount of toppling the number one team in the world, and they go into the final on saturday as clear favourites. england have some history with south africa in the world cup, it hasn't always gone their way, but they have taken a lot of inspiration from that 2007 springboks side. i certainly think so. it is the springboks side in 2007, eddiejones was part of the coaching staff stop they beat england 36—0 in the pool stages then they won the final, 15—6. so there isa they won the final, 15—6. so there is a huge amount of a thread from 2007 all the way through to 2019. you look at the style of play, the personnel, much inspiration has been taken from that. and it almost feels like it has come full circle. eddie jones was coaching the south africans then a

that was one of their great wins, certainly the most important of coach eddiejones‘ tenure.et him a minimum target of reaching the last four. now his team have achieved that in such a fashion they'll believe they can go all the way. dan roan, bbc news, oita. england will play new zealand next after the all blacks beat ireland in tokyo. they ran in seven tries in a convincing 46 to m win. which puts ireland out of the tournament. our sports correspondent andy swiss was there. for ireland, it was time to face rugby‘s ultimate challenge. new zealand are the champions, for many the favourites, and this was a night when they showed exactly why. as ireland's hopes were dazzlingly destroyed. two early tries for aaron smith, and by the time beauden barrett raced clear, his team are also out of sight. 22—0 at the break. game surely over. after that, it was damage limitation for ireland, and while robbie henshaw finally broke their duck, it was suitably the all blacks, and beauden‘s brotherjordie barrett that had the final say. they'll take some stopping. for ireland, it was the end o

the quote from eddiejones is "there is more to come."ld cup final in 12 years. england were utterly dominant against new zealand in the semifinals and will play south africa in the final on saturday after the springboks narrowly beat wales. we played a great team on saturday but we didn't feel we played as well as we can and the charge for us is to keep improving and there are small margins now, as you go through, the margins get smaller but the improvements you can make are still significant and we are looking to see how we can keep improving for this week's game and that is the exciting part for us. a huge week ahead for england, but as eddiejones says — they're not getting carried away. and it's that attitude that's really impressed matt dawson, who won the world cup with england in 2003. you go back to harping on, hopefully not harping on for too much longer, but harping on about 2003, martin johnson would be on at us the whole time, no one celebrates until you've got your hand on the trophy and england have been like that all the wa
