i mean, england had a sniff.eth mooney and ash gardner that that set australia up perfectly to accelerate the back end of the innings. and in the first two 0dis, the teams for me, although the victories were massive for australia, the teams were a lot closer than it felt today. australia were just world class. i almost feel like though the margin of victory was huge, england didn't do too much wrong. no, it's one of those where england actually kept themselves in the game for as long as possible. and then there was an unbelievable catch from phoebe litchfield to dismiss danni wyatt. and that changed the game. and you often say in white ball cricket that moments of brilliance do change the game. and it did. and it was one of those where you look at the scorecard and it's a massive victory for australia. and they are on the brink of retaining the ashes yet again. but today australia were just better than england. a brief word on that match from ash gardner. you spoke about phoebe litchfield, ash gardner. what a day

the new era for the england _ for this man. the new era for the england man's _ for this man.e under the england man's side under the leadership of maro itoje. spencer was the starting scrum half at the beginning of the autumn he is not in the squad and dan cole is that the last time we see one of the great servants of english rugby in an england shirt. tom willis rewarded for his excellent club form. but noel holick has been denied his time. they have hit the headlines for the wrong reasons, insisting it has not been a distraction, but the pressure is on for england to win, they didn't win enough games in 2024, what a start they have it doesn't get much harder than ireland away in dublin on one february. world number onejudd trump is through to the quarter finals of the masters after a 6—1win over barry hawkins. the two—time champion pounced on his opponent's mistakes — hawkins scored just 59 points in the first five frames. trump finished in style with a break of 112 and will face ding junhui next. and in tuesday's late match, 2018 champion mark allen came through 6—2 agains

the big news in here england have a new captain, maro itoje replacing jamie george in the role.t the age of 3a and with pressure for his replacing some players he has moved in a different direction. maro itoje tipped as england's captain for ages, he led the under 20s to a junior world championship in 2014, a mainstay of the side since 2016, barely missing a game, has barely a second of action. for some reason he had not been the permanent england skipper, but at the age of 30 he is now the captain, at his club saracens, the feeling is now it is time. there always a number of factors to consider these decisions, in really good team i have been involved in you have a number of excellent leaders and we are developing that within the squad. maro itoje is a guy he is a world—class player. an incredible professional he is very respectful and i feel we are developing a good depth of leadership in the squad. of all the games maro started, 86 games, he only came off twice which is an incredible figure for a player. and he is a guy i have a lot of respect for, a guy overseen really devel
