a good win for scotland — let's just head back to twickenham and get some reaction from england's biga. they saved their best until last after uninspiring victories against japan and south africa and also defeat by a point to the all blacks. they started the year with a terrible six nations, finishing second bottom of the table, and questions were being asked of head coach eddiejones ahead of next year's world cup. so how's he feeling after the last month? he's been speaking to sonja mclaughlin. for us, we're moving in the right direction. probably accelerated our progress a little bit. iam happy. three wins, one defeat, would you have taken that at the beginning november? we wanted four wins. sometimes you don't get the result you like. in terms of where the team is going and where we are moving in the depth of selection we have created, it is a very positive move for us. dylan hartley thinks that was their best performance. would you agree? i thought the first 30 against new zealand was pretty good. not a bad autumn. what would you say has been the main positive for england across t

our sports correspondentjoe wilson is at twickenham.arts their sequence of autumn internationals, but they have spent the week preparing in portugal. that was not just about the weather, they had sunshine and showers over there. there is a general sense of acclimatisation. if you train in one place, you get on a plane and play a match in another, that is similar to what england will do in the world cup next autumn. and they are looking for any advantage they can gather because remember england in their last six internationals have lost five, that once dominant feel. and the coach eddiejones has been severely diluted. and there are these days two captains in the starting 15. dylan hartley and owen farrell. do you think our two captains can be better than one? i don't see why not. it is probably a little less stuff off the field to do because you are splitting it. and more time to think about what is most important for us, which is the team both on and off the field, so i think it can be a good thing in that respect. now, elsewhere on sat

patrick gearey is at twickenham for us. until the final of the rugby world cup and england head coach eddiejones is not so much fine tuning the team as throwing out the engine and a couple of wheels with it. less than half of the squad which took part in the final six nations game here are back here today to face south africa. that's because of a string of injuries, players falling out of favour, joe marler retiring. eddie jones is experimenting and has even named two captains, 0wen hart play —— south africa will provide a real challenge, they are much improved of late but england have two face new zealand as well. later in cardiff wales faced cardiff —— scotland in the doddie weir cup named in honour of the former scotland international and ireland face italy, the team from the northern hemisphere many feel has the best chance of challenging for the rugby world cup. bmx supercross has been part of the olympics since 2008, but come the next games there'll be a new discipline — freestyle bmx. it's been included to boost toky

a certain amount of rustiness on display at twickenham which was inevitable given the amount of playersica controlled territory and scored the only try, sbu nkosi going over in the corner but despite that, england we re the corner but despite that, england were only two points down at the break. they had a team meeting on the pitch, they knew they had to be better and they work, slightly after the break. elliot daly‘s penalty gave them the lead for the first time, south africa retook the lead. england might have scored a try of their own, brad shields missing out on the chance of scoring on his twickenham debut and then it was two penalties, 0wen farrell kicked his to put england one point ahead and handre pollard had a chance for sad about it, it had the accuracy and hit the post. that is the difference between defeat and victory. south africa might have added another penalty late on when a decision was reviewed but england hung on. not the performance they wanted but given they have to play new zealand and australia this autumn, is a victory that will give them plenty of confidence. a

i asked him if they consider twickenham to be the home of rugby.they consider it to be eden park in auckland. fair enough. you can see the influence in the test match. steve hansen simply said, well, if chris ashton is good enough to play for england, he must be a good player. what about brad shields in the england starting line—up after having played his whole career in new zealand? hanson had an affection for shields, but he said that facing his old mates will be emotional. joel wilson reporting. wales, meanwhile, have picked josh adams for saturday's test against australia — also one of three changes to their win over scotland. the worcester winger replaces luke morgan, who started the last test, and plays ahead of british and irish lions star liam williams. and scotland have received a boost with the news stuart hogg's been passed fit to face fiji. he only had ankle surgery eight weeks ago. he will play at full—back alongside finn russell and greig laidlaw, who also returns after missing last weekend's defeat to wales. uefa are considering fast
