so eddiejones restoring owen farrell to his preferred position. each game's just by itself, so whatever you've done in the past doesn't really affect what you're going to do on saturday. and what we do know on saturday is that we're going to be well prepared for the game. we've had a good physical prep, we've had a good tactical prep. the players are enjoying being injapan. they're ready to go, and we know australia will be the same, so that's going to be some sort of a game. the world of boxing is coming to terms with the death of another fighter. the american patrick day died four days after suffering a brain injury during a bout in chicago. he was 27 years old. promoter lou dibella said day chose to box, knowing the inherent risks that every fighter faces when he or she walks into a ring. boxing is what he loved to do. if things weren't bad enough, there has been a blow for manchester united ahead of their game against premier league leaders liverpool on sunday. paul pogba won't be fit to play. he has failed to recover from a foot injury. and ke

the decision means that captain owen farrell moves from inside centre—back into the number 10 shirt withto midfield to partner manu tualagi. despite ford starting six of england's last seven matches, eddie jones had no qualms about dropping him for his biggest test as england coach so far. well, i spoke to him this morning and obviously he's disappointed but he knows his role in the team. he's gotan he knows his role in the team. he's got an important role in the team and that's how we've spoken all along, we've got a squad of 23 and we look at it as a squad of 23, eve ryo ne we look at it as a squad of 23, everyone has a role to do and we've left a lot of good players, eight players out of a squad of 31, and they're all disappointed. but he's got a significant role for us to play. meanwhile, jones loop ‘s australian counterpart michael cheika raised an eyebrow or two himself when he named his starting 15 with the inclusion of 19—year—old jordan petaia for only his third. the first two, both at this world cup, were against uruguay and georgia and on the wing now the teenage queensland re

and england rugby player, whether owen farrell orjonny may or kyle sinckler, whoever, celebrating theirnd outstanding victory over australia. this headline sums it up. the most fearsome machine in rugby. england have played them three times previously in world cups. not a great record. the semifinal, as we have played them in 1995. they don't have played them in 1995. they don't havejonah have played them in 1995. they don't have jonah lomu this have played them in 1995. they don't havejonah lomu this time, thankfully. but they do have the barrett brothers and all of those fantastic players. england have to be even better than they were today to beat the all blacks but they smashed australia four tries to one and it was a great performance. nice to read a positive headline in the sports pages after a week of racism. not that it has ever gone away and it has come back again tonight. horrendous story, this fa cup game against yeovil town and haringey borough, the yeovil players walked off because the goalkeeper was racially abused by travelling fans. the fa have to start doing something.

tomas lavanini with a sickening challenge on owen farrell, who was thankfully unhurt.had gone over, it was effectively game over. england weren‘t at their slickest, although jack nowell certainly was. on his comeback from injury, perhaps the pick of england‘s six tries. not quite a knockout performance, then, but they‘re through to the knockout stage. it‘s qualification for quarterfinals but our emphasis is just on getting better each game. but our emphasis is just that was a tough game for us today, in a lot of regards. job done, then, for england in, ultimately, emphatic style. they‘ll face france in theirfinal group game next weekend, with a place in the quarterfinals already guaranteed. andy swiss, bbc news, tokyo. football and tottenham hotspur‘s bad week has continued — they lost 3—0 away at brighton in the premier league this afternoon. aaron connolly scored two of the goals. it follows spurs 7—2 defeat at home to bayern munich in the champions league. that‘s it for now. we‘re back with the late news at 10:10. now on bbc one it‘s time for the news where you are.

i can imagine george ford, owen farrell, will be laying down the blueprint for another great win hopefully semifinal, knowing there is so much at stake? there semifinal is, it is scary because you are in the last four, you have got the excitement of getting there, but also you know that it means nothing to be a loser in the semifinal. i suppose the feeling is the same in a final, but the semifinal in particular, you are not really the bridesmaid, you won nothing, really. you then have the calamity of having to play in a bronze final. we did that in 1995 and in1995 we bronze final. we did that in 1995 and in 1995 we played new zealand, having played australia in the quarterfinals, we went on to lose very badly against new zealand. zines and brooke a drop goal from the line. they smashed us. and then we had that horrible extra week where we had to play in a bronze final that nobody wanted to do. everybody wanted to have a drink and commiserate losing. it's a game you really don't want to lose. hopefully it won't be a rerun of 1995. like eddiejones, warren it won't be a rerun of 1995. like ed

it means that george ford stays as fly—half, and captain owen farrell at centre.e is no higher expectation than within the team. we started out on the first day wanting to be the best tea m the first day wanting to be the best team in the world. that is where we wa nted team in the world. that is where we wanted to go. the outside stock, three weeks ago, we were hopeless. i was going to get the sack. oh and couldn't keep a goal. so we don't tend to that noise. important as the media is we don't tend to listen to it. the only people that we are worried about is within the team. earlier i spoke to former england international ugo monye, who told me england would be looking to use the momentum from there grew over the all blacks in the semifinals to tackle the springboks on saturday. that is probably the most complete performance under eddie jones. that is probably the most complete performance under eddiejones. they know that all that it has done is given them a chance of world cup glory. it has been for years in the making a lot of pain and a lot of ha rd making a

the newly —— owen farrell with the extras, converted that try into 7—0.e ford took his points to 12, and england through to their fourth world cup final, and their first through to their fourth world cup final, and theirfirst in 12 years. incredible, absolutely incredible. from start to finish, they were all over them. breathtaking. amazing. don't want to count my chickens, obviously, but fingers crossed,. greenback if they can beat the all blacks today, that's it. the mentality is there. the question is, who is in the final. their captain has run a training session at the tokyo base for wales. this will be their second semifinal in three tournaments. they were in the team that narrowly lost to france he admits that his form injapan has been "mixed" — but he believes wales are in a stronger position than ever to reach a first final. obviously this is where you want to be playing your best rugby. you know, to see where we are now, in the semifinal and to be part of it is something special, so from my point of view, we have to keep positive, keep grafting,

there's the skipper, owen farrell who will continue at centre. george ford stays at fly—half.his moment for four years, we also heard from hookerjamie george about the influence of the captain, and the emotional team meetings he holds , for only the players on the eve of matches. first of all, he leads from the front, incredibly committed, the way that he performs, he carries himself day in day out. that is the sort of person you want to, you know, follow. i think also he has developed in terms of his messaging to the team and how we build that up to the team and how we build that up to what the game on saturday and he makes, you know, his messaging throughout the week is brilliant and he makes the team feel so ready on saturday and he builds confidence up throughout the week. i think a large pa rt throughout the week. i think a large part of that is down to him. craig levein has been sacked as manager of hearts and will also leave his role as director of football. only goal difference is keeping the scottish premiership club off the bottom of the table. the former scotland bo
