fighting it out for the title once more with their clash taking place on the final weekend that twickenham begin life without gareth bale, who retired following the world cup. and there's controversy over another missing player, brennanjohnson, who hasn't made the trip to croatia because of injury. manager rob page admits he's unhappy with howjohnson�*s club, nottingham forest, have handled the situation. it's very special to be in the changing room and play for your country, no matter which country you play for, and here, you shouldn't take that for granted, like i said, and the people responsible for him as well shouldn't take it for granted and should appreciate and respect that as well. scotland face cyprus at hampden park this afternoon, and they've been boosted by the news that manager steve clarke has signed a contract extension until 2026. clarke says he hopes to leave a legacy and a situation when scotland are expected to qualify for every major tournament. i don't want to go to germany 2024 and not go 2026 and looking ahead 28, 30, 32. you want scotland to be qualifying. i won't

back at twickenham as this. as well.igures, pop. yeah, exactly. because unlike in football, can drink football, you can, you can drink alcohol view of the alcohol within view of the pitch. thinks too pitch. and he thinks that too many leaving their many fans are just leaving their seat the during the play seat during the during the play and going to get a drink and we get refreshments. and so that detracts from the support that the offering the team the fans are offering the team on the day. and when you're at home, it's not exciting and home, it's not more exciting and it wouldn't with the well, it wouldn't leave with the well, maybe just expecting them maybe they just expecting them to how they've to win and that's how they've got be very successful got to be very successful over the years. so that's the last 25 years. so that's maybe how they are. but france one defeat 16, they can still one defeat in 16, they can still win nations. of win the six nations. and of course we've scotland more. course we've got scotland m

now you're in the lovely town of twickenham there on the river is fortunate to live also by the rivert apparently needs somewhere else to swim. vince and his swimming pool as an upgrading of the local electricity supply so that he can keep it warm enough. what is your take on that? when can't at the moment afford to pay their own electricity bills ? well, i own electricity bills? well, i think people in high political position have to set an example. i mean, when i was a cabinet minister, we had pay frozen. we travelled in a second class wherever possible we tried to set an example in difficult conditions and leadership has got to got to come from the top. so yeah , it's not that it's not so yeah, it's not that it's not a good example. it's a business. you should follow the example of mrs. thatcher who to heat the swimming pool at chequers. she said it wasn't fair on the pubuc said it wasn't fair on the public purse. those days are gone. yeah . mrs. thatcher gone. well, yeah. mrs. thatcher had her strong points and one of them was that she put austerity into practise in her own life.

that were exchanged ahead of the six nafions were exchanged ahead of the six nations clash with twickenhamxium . they on the hook on nexium. they don't know who they can and have a new beginning in we don't think it marks a shared will the need to speak to one another to better coordinate and build together new prospects in this context and i believe that the will that you clearly express that and that we discuss jointly together . although governments together. although governments have on what we manage to create the meetings with the business leaders and the young leaders goesin leaders and the young leaders goes in that direction. the common purpose that appeared us itself is evident in the new europe here in an international context that we're seeing at least seem to be your face with new responsibility both of us moment and members of the un. security nato members quipped powers with shared interest . we powers with shared interest. we want to work together and build concrete solutions for our in this respect and in this context, i'd like to welcome the new turn that was taken and yo

i think it started with such a high when at twickenham, and then we came from behind to score a try maxfrom the tottenham manager after they could only manage a draw against bottom of the table southampton. antonio conte said his spurs players were selfish, the owners hadn't won anything in 20 years and the team performance was unnaceptable. we'll hearfrom him in a moment. on the pitch, southampton were 3—1 down with 13 minutes to go and fought back to draw 3—3 at st mary's. james ward prowse with a stoppage time equaliser from the penalty spot. southampton are two points from safety. but tottenham missed the chance to go third in the premier league, which brought this extraordinary reaction from conte. for another time, it will show that we are not a team. we are 11 players that go into the pitch, and i see selfish players, i see players that don't want to help each other, don't put their heart. the club paid us a lot of money. the players receive money. me, receives money. you understand? not to be, to find an excuse, don't have spirit or don't show the sense of belonging. don't show

i think since 2005 back at twickenham, but it was 5310 and it was just a walkover and i'm about whetherurse taking over from your friend jones. have you met steve though? not yet, but eddie chased him down. you if you chased him down. you if you chase him, try. chased him down. you if you chase him, try . but but the chase him, try. but but the thing it is kind of a free thing is. it is kind of a free hit because he's come in. it's very easy to be able to say, well, you know, this is eddie. we've got a lot of changes that need make. so we've got the need to make. so we've got the world coming up in just six world cup coming up in just six months. so probably we're going to for the next world to be aiming for the next world cup, this. it's going cup, not for this. it's going to be tough, ireland be too tough, whereas ireland are one side in the are the number one side in the world moment. and world at the moment. and scotland, is the best. scotland, though, is the best. scotland, though, is the best. scotland probably scotland side. there's probably 11. and then it's 11. so ireland and t
