what is really interesting is the influences shaun wane has been taking, notjust from inside rugby leaguehe is a massive rugby league fan. he is evaluating our game and he spoke about his experiences in full and what makes him the england champion he is. he has loved it. he's enjoyed watching us train. i am not bothered how we do it, but listening to talented people is what's going to get us there. i know the power that a successful england team in this tournament will have for the sport and across the country. the excitement it generates. it looks as though it is growing in momentum at the moment, so i am looking forward to growing the game and more importantly england getting closer to the final. england take on greece in their final group game on saturday. this is, of course, greece's first world cup, so as shaun wane said, there is an element of unpredictability about them, but england will be desperate to take that momentum from those two opening wins into the quarterfinals, when the pressure really starts. kick—off on saturday at bramall lane is 2.30pm. the match is live on bbc one.

as for england, i went to the english press conference earlier and the england head coach shaun waneayers this evening. he said there will be no beers for the players this evening. he was asked by one journalist if, as a proud wigan resident come at the quarterfinal will be his proudest moment as england head coach. he said he is looking forward to that match, but what will be his proudest moment will be the world cup final, that is the focus, that very much the mindset within this england camp. let's hear more from inside that england camp. this is this afternoon's man of the match, salford's marc sneyd. we tried to play a certain way, with one eye on next week. but it was quite hard to do, with the way that we ended up playing. and we were racking up points on a regular basis and it was quite hard to get some kind of...momentum is probably not the right word, but some practice in basically for next week. but obviously, to put a scoreline on that in a world cup, we ain't going to complain, we are going to enjoy and be happy about it. you said the hard work starts now and it is hard

england head coach shaun wane says there's much for his team to improve upon, despite scoring 10 triesfrance in bolton on saturday, with wane confirming he'll give a chance to all seven players who didn't feature against samoa. it was very different, you know, because, you look at the players i didn't pick and they're all invalid good form. it wasn't easy conversation when i told them they were not playing and so want to see them and see if our performance can improve. them and see if our performance can imrove. , .,, , improve. only foster will be with ou for improve. only foster will be with you for sports — improve. only foster will be with you for sports day _ improve. only foster will be with you for sports day at _ improve. only foster will be with you for sports day at 6:30pm. i improve. only foster will be with i you for sports day at 6:30pm. more on all of those stories but that is it from me for now. thank you. thoughts are turning to tomorrow's prime minister's question time where the labour leader, keir starmer gets chance to quizz liz truss after her apology over her mini—

greece are a mixture of professionals, part—timers and amateurs, but england's head coach shaun wanereally good, they have an automatic and we showed them the respect they've got some really good players and we have our own ones, are players and we treated them like we inaudible play anybody so we have our due diligence on them and hopefully we can see the best of them this weekend. in rugby union at the women's world cup in new zealand, wales play the hosts and defending champions in their quarterfinal this morning — a tough match — which gets going at 7:30. meanwhile, last night, closer to home in the premiership, gloucester won their fourth match in a row as they beat exeter 38—22. there were six tries in total for the home team, including this one which sealed the bonus point, charlie chapman getting his second try of the evening here. the win moves them up to third in the table, nine points behind leaders saracens. it's the mexican grand prix this weekend. ferrari's charles leclerc was unhurt after a crash in friday practice. leclerc lost control and spun backwards into the barr
