Many are calling it one of waless greatest world cup victories, their 29 25 win over australia in their second pool game, leaves them favourites to finish top of their group. Which would hand them a more favourable draw in the quarterfinals. Katie gornall is in tokyo. Japan is proving to be a popular host. Their team has lit up the world cup and in tokyo they have thrown their support. Wales arrived as favourites to beat the two time champions australia that could define the tournament. No side has ever won a world cup and lost a match along the way. Momentum in rugby is everything and early on it was with wales. Hadleigh parkes watched the last world cup in a pub, now he has the best view in the house.

Talking of welsh warriors, a memorable day for wales captain alun wyn jones, who received his record 130th cap. Im pretty happy with the character we showed, particularly in the second half. At times it was dodgy, we had a great first half then we were tentative in the second half, but pleased with the result. Its always easy to end up defending a lead, which we did in the second half, but credit to the guys in gold they came at us with everything in the second half. Scotland are the next home nation in action. They play their 2nd match against samoa tomorrow. They of course lost their first to ireland but following their defeat to japan yesterday, it leaves the group wide open. Paul barnes has been following the scotland squad. After several days of fierce criticism in the wake of that dreadful display against ireland, Gregor Townsend has had his say on the team and has made a few big selection calls for mondays match against samoa. Hes changed the entire back row withjohn barclay and brian wilson missing out on a starting place. There are also changes in the back line with darcy graham coming in on the wing and chris harris makes a start too in centre. Several changes for Gregor Townsend, five in total, but that is the team he thinks can do the job in what is a must win match against samoa. A point to prove, improve all of that, we have the responsibility when involved with the National Team to give our best. Players are aware you may not get another opportunity. For those that havent been selected this week, they have given that opportunity or someone else now has that opportunity to perform so a point to prove, but we have a big performance, to give against russia and japan and see where that takes us. Lewis hamilton won the russian grand prix to inch closer to a sixth world title. Ferraris race unravelled after Sebastien Vettel disobeyed team orders by refusing to let team mate Charles Leclerc through, the german eventually retiring with engine problems as leclerc finished third, having started from pole. Nick parrott reports. Its a victory Lewis Hamilton will savour because before the russian grand prix it was so unexpected. For a fourth race in a row, Charles Leclerc started from pole but his ferrari team feared hamilton could catch him unless vettel passed them both. The plan was to let vettel hand back the wind to laclerc but he refused. After much moaning on the radio, ferrari got Charles Leclerc back on in front. But then engine problems ended their hopes of victory. With vettel stranded, hamilton changed tyres while racing was suspended. When racing resumed, he surged into an unassailable lead on the way to his ninth win of the season. What should have been a one two finish for ferrari became a one two for mercedes, strengthening their grip on the championships while leaving ferrari questioning their way forward. The strategists were on it today. I think we all wear and keeping ferrari behind, they did a fantastic job to secure the one two. After three tough races i cant tell you how rewarding this feels. We had an agreement, we spoke about it before, maybe we need to have a look at it and sit down, so im relaxed about it. My race wasnt supposed to happen, the car let me down ina supposed to happen, the car let me down in a way, but well talk about it and move on. It was completely agreed, but i will speak to the team, i think everything has been respected and work has been done by the pit stop at the end so as we had agreed before the race. Elsewhere in motor sport, northern irelandsjonathan rea secured a fifth straight world superbike title with two rounds to spare.

Leicester demonstarted why they may break into the premier leagues top four to qualify for the Champions League this season, beating newcastle 5 0 at the king power stadium. It moves them up to third, two points behind Manchester City. Austin halewood reports. In 2016, leicester but at the centre of the footballing world and have lofty ambitions again. Since Brendan Rodgers took over, only liverpool and Manchester City have won more points. James madison has been key in that but with him injured, the foxes were looking for someone else to spark against newcastle. It didnt take long. Ricardo with the brilliant run and even better finish, leicester with the lead. Newcastle just couldnt get hold of the ball and they couldnt control their temper, a horrific challenge from isaac hayden on dennis pratt quickly deemed worthy of a red card. Once again, it wasnt going to plan and it only got worse, particularly when jamie vardy did what jamie vardy does best. The floodgates were open, the foxes running riot. Pratt back on his feet and in on the action. Jamie vardy scored a second before wilfred made it five. More misery for the magpies. Leicester, too clinical, too good and back into third. Certainly not near good enough. Weve made it difficult all afternoon, especially with ten men. You need to get 20, 30 minutes up the road and after half time, we gave a goal away for their second and a deflection for the third and thenit and a deflection for the third and then it became one of those very, very difficult afternoons against a very difficult afternoons against a very good leicester team, but we got to show more than what we did. Arsenal have been impressive as they continued the defece of their womens superleague title with another win that keeps them top of the tabel on goal difference from Manchester City women. Its now three from three, after victory over brighton.

He becomes the first dane to win the title, teo geoghen hart was the highest finishing brit, but was way down the field outside the top twenty. Patrick gearey reports. This was no day for a bike ride. Relentless rain meant this would be a road race with a difference, the route shortened and diverted, the riders battling through miles of treacherously waterlogged country, supported by spectators even on the most forlorn hillside. A test of technique and tenacity. The race bottlenecked as it entered harrogate, a town built around spa water, covered in rainwater. One of the pre race favourites Philip Gilbert couldnt the ground lost in this crash. 0thers fell away including the defending champion. Of the british riders, adam yates and ben swift fought hard fought hard to stay in it, but the race was being stretched by a series of exhausting attacks. The final duel was between the italian matteo and danish Mads Pedersen. A riveting race had a final twist. What a race and what a victory for Mads Pedersen, the new world the new World Champion roared home in the rain. The weather has been awful, but the enthusiasm of the crowd right along the route has made this a day of celebration as well as saturation. Thats all from sportsday.
