Wales and warren prepare for their swansong. 12 years together, one more game to go for gatland and his men. It isnt always about winning, it is about the achievements as a team, andi about the achievements as a team, and i think they have definitely done that. A different code but another departure sam burgess is forced to retire from rugby league, but leaves as one of the greatest players of his generation. He says goodbye, she says hello. Another australian appointed to try and take an engalnd team to the top. Also coming up in the Programme Home is where the heartbreak is travelling teams continue to win in the world series. And were now down to a decider. Hello and welcome to sportsday. Well start tonight with gatlands goodbye. 12 years an adopted welshman, the countrys rugby coach takes charge of his final game on friday morning. Its a game he would have rather not had to play the Third Fourth Place playoff at the world cup. But he leaves having made a Significant Impact on wales sporting religion. Patrick gearey has more. Warren gatland isnt given to showing emotion. Over 12 champagne soaked years, showing emotion. Over 12 champagne soa ked years, he showing emotion. Over 12 champagne soaked years, he has left that to others. Watching on as three of his wales sides won six nations grand slams. He would have loved one more day in charge and one last trophy, but before his final match against the country of his birth, new zealand, a chance to reflect on a job well done. It isnt always about winning. I think success is about overachieving, and they have achieved as a team, we have definitely done that. For a very small playing nation, a proud nation with a lot of history. The biggest memory i have is that smile that was put back on welsh faces, and people we re put back on welsh faces, and people were proud to wear that red jersey and go and support the team. Whether you are from new zealand or wales, there is one way to make yourself popular, beat england. Gatlin did in his first game. Less than four months into thejob, he guided wales to the grand slam. But he didnt settle for that. He renewed the side and produced a second clean sweep four years later, then did it again, just in time for a world cup, or perhaps just too early. Struggling with injuries, trailing andjim gee, last weekend against he fell just short of his ultimate goal, but here isa man short of his ultimate goal, but here is a man who can take perspective from pain. One of the things about this group of players is how much pride they have shown in wearing that welsh jersey, and pride they have shown in wearing that welshjersey, and i think pride they have shown in wearing that welsh jersey, and i think it will be easierfor us that welsh jersey, and i think it will be easier for us to be down on ourselves and to throw in the towel, that sort of thing, but i expect these players over the next 48 hours to lift themselves and to go out there and realise that there is an opportunity for the group to potentially do something special. Well as wales, gatlin has been the head coach for the british and irish lions for the last two tours, leading them to a victory over australia and a draw against the all blacks. He will be in charge again in 2021, but by then he will be back in hamilton, going home in one sense, leaving home on another. Id like to think the welsh public but i would like to thank the welsh public. They have been challenging at times, but in terms of how welcoming they have been for me and wales, and hospitable, it really is a second home for me being in wales, and im going to miss being there. So what began at twickenham will end in tokyo. Wales take on new zealand, a team they havent beaten in 66 yea rs. If a team they havent beaten in 66 years. If they do it, perhaps even the granite gatlin twell crackjust a little. Elsehwere in japan england have been fined £2,000 for crossing the half way line during new zealands haka before the world cup semi final. The england team created a v shaped formation with some players entering the all blacks half. Rules say that the team facing the haka must remain in their own half during the challenge. Well the new zealand head coach steve hansen says he actually liked what england did. I thought the response was brilliant. You know, like, if you understand the haka then the haka requires a response. Its a challenge to you, personally it requires you to have a response. So i thought it was brilliant. Quite imaginative, too. Lets switch codes. Hes been described as one of the greatest. But today sam burgess admitted his stellar Rugby League Career was over. Has failed to recover from a chronic shoulder injury, saying he just couldnt be himself on the field any more. Austin halewood is here for us. Few players have made as much of an impact on rugby league. Youre exactly right. What a career has had. A true great of the game. He started his professional career with bradford bulls in super league, but it was with the south sydney rabbitohs in australia that he really became an icon of the global game. He went down under in 2010, and in182 games game. He went down under in 2010, and in 182 games for south sydney, he scored 44 tries and made over 5000 tackles. That is an average of 28a game, 5000 tackles. That is an average of 28 a game, and he led them to a premiership title in 2014. And of course he has been a legend for england as well, he played 23 tests for his country, and two more for Great Britain with runs like that and trademark big hits the main part of his game. But of course current england playerjohn bateman who is currently in the england team, he said he is sad to see his friend finally hang up his boots. It is pretty gut wrenching, to be fair. I spoke to him the other week and he told me his shoulder was in a bad way, and he mentioned little bits, and talked about retirement, but i didnt really think it would come to that point. I always looked at what he just wanted to follow his footsteps, and to see him having to retire, and probably not in the way he wanted to, it is a bit disappointed for him, and im gutted. And burgess will always be remembered for his pretty u nsuccessful remembered for his pretty unsuccessful move to rugby union. He switched codes and moved to bath in 2014, that he was fast tracked into the england squad for that dreadful World Cup Campaign in 2015 before returning to rugby league afterjust a year. But the rugby league has been full of praise today. Former england and Great Britain captain Jamie Peacock called him one of the best players he ever played with, a true great of the modern era. But of course sam is also part of perhaps the most talented family in rugby league history. He played alongside brothers luke, tom and george in australia for a time, and tom said today, i dont think sam wants to feel sad after this injury that ended his career, he wants us to celebrate what he has done in the good times weve all had together. Hugh, one of the greats of the game, u nfortu nately forced to hugh, one of the greats of the game, unfortunately forced to leave it just a little too soon. At least there are three other brothers to keep us entertained for the next few yea rs. Keep us entertained for the next few years. Thank you very much indeed. Now as much as sam burgess proved british sportspeople can be successful down under, it bucks a recent trend. England are preparing for a Rugby World Cup final under the guidance of an australian. While the cricket team, also coached by an aussie, won their world cup in the summer. So why not try that for the womens team too . Lisa keightley has been appointed as their new coach. The former Australia International will start in january not long before the t20 world cup. Her new boss is the ecbs director of womens cricket clare connor. Like any head coach coming in, you wa nt to like any head coach coming in, you want to make an immediate impact, andi want to make an immediate impact, and i think lisa will start with us in the new year, and will only have a month before that tournament really gets under in australia. I think one of the huge advantages to lisa, the two main advantages, one that she has got pre existing relationships and a real in depth knowledge of many of our players. She has watched them develop through the academy over in western australia, she has had many of them coming to play for her in domestic cricket in australia, cape cross, amyjones, natalie sover, katherine brunt, have all played over in perth. So she has got a really good relationships, and really good current knowledge about some of our players and the womens game in general, and i think when you are coming in to make an impact as a new head coach in any sport, mens or womens sport, those of the things that are really in your favour. Good, positive relationships, trusting relationships, and a really good knowledge where our team is at at the moment and what the potential of the team could be. Lets stay with cricket as we look at some of the other sports stories today. Scotland have qualified for the t20 world cup in australia next year. Theyve beaten the uae in their playoff in dubai by 90 runs. Scotland are the fifth of six teams to go through via the qualifying tournament. Bury have been given a 35 day extension after a winding up petition brought by hm revenue customs was adjourned again in the high court. The clubs lawyers told the court a further extension was needed to establish whether the club paid too much tax. Bury were expelled from the English Football League in august as a result of financial problems. Meanwhile, at the paris masters, Fabio Fognini wasnt in the best of moods. He lost to Canadas Denis Shapovalov and his racquet bore the brunt of his angst. Handle and head snapped clean apart. The defeat means fognini now cant qualify for the season ending world tour finals. The rest of the efl cup quarter final line up will be filled exclusively by premier league teams. After colchester and oxford made the last eight last night, the three final fourth round ties tonight only involve top flight teams. Our football reporter john bennett is alongside me. John after the few days that arsenal have had their game at liverpool will be interesting. So many issues for arsenal at the moment. You will remember that their captain, granit xhaka, was booed, he was substituted and he showed his frustration. He cupped his ear to the fans, took off his shirt, and it was a very angry reaction. There has been no apology since then. He wont been no apology since then. He wont be involved in the game tonight against liverpool, but that is still against liverpool, but that is still a big issue for you and the fans appear to have lost faith in him as well, and the other issue is o zyl, messett oh mesut ozil, who starts backin messett oh mesut ozil, who starts back in the team, and does that cause more problems for unai emery . And there is no sadio mane, no firmino. And chelsea are playing a young side but notjust in this competition, because it has been more choice for them elsewhere as well. We might get to know some of their other youngsters as well, some of the other unheralded, the likes of the other unheralded, the likes of Tammy Abraham that we know all about, they have won the last seven games in all competitions. We might see the likes of rhys james, billy gilmore, some new names for us. As for manchester united, they are unbeaten in three, starting to get some momentum. Two away wins in a row, they were placed on youngsters, the likes of Brandon Williams and james garner. Thank you very much indeed, our football james garner. Thank you very much indeed, ourfootball reporterjohn bennett. Elsewhere this evening Manchester City women are attempting to reach the quarter finals of the champinos league. They started the second leg against Atletico Madrid 1 1. Meanwhile theres a full round of scottish prmiership fixtures tonight. Celtic and rangers are tied at the top. Eight points clear of the rest. Leaders celtic at home to st mirren while rangers travel to ross county. All six games are a 7. 45 kick off. Still to come on sportsday. Well speak to the new woman in charge of netball in england, tasked with running a sport riding the crest of a wave. And the most capped woman in irish sport as she prepares to win number 300. Now, the theme of home disadvantage continues in baseballs world series. All six games played so far have been won by the away team. The latest for washington in houston making it 3 3 in the series. Taking them to a winner takes all seventh. Tulsen tollett is there. Tulsen, if were going to complete a clean sweep the Washington Nationals will be the world champions . You would think that way, wouldnt you . 1420, you would think that way, wouldnt you . 1420, best of 7 you would think that way, wouldnt you . 1420, best of 7 series there have been, and guess what . This one is the first ever to have gone to the sixth away teams in those opening six games. And it all came down to what happened in game six. They got off to a really good start, Alex Brickman put them ahead. They we re Alex Brickman put them ahead. They were 2 0 up, and 2 1 at the end of that opening section of play, and then from they, with justin philander on the plate, you thought he might break that duck but from there, it was adam heaton who in the fifth game put them ahead for the first time, and the national is sensed that something was really happening, but perhaps the most ironic thing was andy rendon, he picked up five runs batted in, two batted in at the end, which ended up winning the game for the Washington Nationals. I can tell you for this, for game seven that evening there will be 36,000 people watching the nationals. And i tell you one thing, i that washington or the Houston Astros im going to win. That is the sort of thing we hire you for thank you very much indeed. The new chief executive of england netball has promised to build on the teams recent success both on the court and in the public eye and make the current commonwealth champions the worlds number one. But to do that Fran Connolly admits the domestic game needs to make some big changes to try and help the red roses on the globalfront. It is critical. We will not succeed on the world stage unless we professionalise the domestic league, and that is our absolute priority. We need to strengthen the infrastructure that supports that, support them detect larger leaps into professionalising the sport. I think if we do that and they nurture talent, the franchises within the league are able to nurture talent, we will be in a really good position to compete on the world stage, like we have done over the last couple of yea rs. We have done over the last couple of years. Quite a lot of that success that has come on the world stage has come from a squad which i suppose as ever a new coach injess selby takes over, having to figure out how best to deal with the veterans and how best to bring in those world players, is it fair to say that it is in players, is it fair to say that it isina players, is it fair to say that it is in a bit of flux at the moment . It is an understandable position for the point what we are in at the moment in terms of the calendar. I think like all nations they will be regrouping after the world cup, individual athletes will be making decisions as to whether this is the right time for them to step down, and there will be lots of fresh talent really trying to prove their point and cement their position in that new squad, so i think it is an exciting time. And another person who has decided to spend some time away from the sport is tracey neville. Given that she has had such an Important Role in the past, what can you imagine herfuture being within england netball . She has been a huge part of the success we have enjoyed, and she has been a tremendous ambassador for the sport. We will give her the time that she needs to be a mum, and when the time is right for her, we would love to have her back involved in the game. What that form will be, i dont know. Fran connelly on her first day in the newjob. The Ireland Womens Hockey Team can secure qualification for the Tokyo Olympics this weekend. They were surprise runners up at the sports world cup last year, and their remarkable rise has been spear headed by Shirley Mccay, who is winning her 300th cap for ireland this weekend. Indeed shes the first irish woman to reach that figure in any sport. Shes been speaking to nigel ringland. Commentator that is fired in, and it was Shirley Mccay with the final touch. The pinnacle of a hockey career so far. A world cup silver medal for Shirley Mccay, and now 300 caps for her country. Irelands most capped sportswoman. I think it is a bit surreal when you sit down and think about it, and i dont really like the spotlight, i suppose. It isnt my forte, but it is a great achievement, and it is something im very proud of. From her first call up to the irish senior squad in 2007, she has been ever present sense, admired by those she has played with at international
