Yes, we are looking at ourselves more than the others because we realise that if we focus on our team, we focus on our strengths. Everything else takes care of itself. So we are focusing on our team, our preparation. If everything that is there in our control, we control that. That gives us the best chance. So that is what our team is focusing on.

Theyre going to next years euros. We want to make it six out of six. And can we qualify . I think we can.

Two goals from Scott Mctominay gave scotland a famous victory, but their vice captain isnt complacent about this match. The jobs not done yet.

And englands defender Harry Maguire says a phone call from David Beckham meant everything after he was jeered by scotland fans last month. The Manchester United defender scored an own goal in a31win, but says hes been encouraged by beckham, who suffered plenty of abuse himself after being sent off at the 98 world cup. About three weeks ago after the scotland game he got in touch with me, so it was really nice of him and i really appreciated that. Throughout my career, David Beckham is someone who i looked up to and i watched when i was a young boy. Unfortunately, i didnt end up on the right wing and scoring an assist in as many goals as he has. But yeah, he was a big role model when i was growing up and i think itjust shows how classy is to reach out to me. And obviously a lot of people are speaking about me at the moment, but obviously to see how what he went through and the resilience that hes shown, what he did is reminded me of the career that ive had today and the big moments ive had in my career. And i think, like i say, you, when youre going through tough moments, youve got to think on past experiences and past memories and and where youve gone in your career and what youve been through in every career. Like i say, every career is so up and down, and especially when you reach what ive reached in terms of being the captain of the the biggest club in the world for three and a half years. And hes been in that position and he knows what hes like. And obviously i watched the documentary and i couldnt believe how much he went through at the time. So yeah, i know in the documentary gary neville speaks a lot about how resilient he is and as a person. And now i think hes been a huge role model forfor many footballers growing up, especially in my era. Wayne rooney says he wants to take Birmingham City to the next level after being named the new manager of the english second tier side.

Ireland have the standout quarterfinal, dont they . The number one side in the world will face the three time champions new zealand at the stade de france. Coach andy farrell has been able to name an unchanged 15 to take on the all blacks. Gavin andrews is with the ireland squad. With the pool stages wrapped up at this world cup, ireland are on a roll. Theyve won 17 in a row and are now slight favourites to topple the mighty all blacks on Saturday Night. Andy farrell seems to have a template for success and its more of the same in terms of selection from the head coach. Wingers mark hudson and james low have proved their fitness, having picked up knocks against scotland last weekend in an unchanged pack. Ian henderson maintains his partnership with tadhg beirne in the second row. Joe mccarthy comes on to the bench for the injured james ryan and jimmy obrien gets his first opportunity of the tournament. This is a squad confident they can deliver. Its the big boys stuff, isnt it . Its its the business of the competition. And when you get to those points within a competition, then you draw hopefully on the good experiences that youve had and the experiences that weve put ourselves under in the last three or four years. Therefore, moments like this, weve got a very experienced group thats been through a lot and learning to deal with weeks like last week and this week is something that weve got pretty good at. So you draw on those experiences trying to win a world cup. Its something to go and get. Its not something that puts pressure on me. Its something that you dream of. Probably not as a kid, because when we were kids, we didnt dream of ireland winning the world cup where we i suppose we put ourselves in the position now to go and do that, but its something to go and get. Its not something to be pressured about. And i havent thought about my own career, to be honest. Ill think about it more when i when i finish. Its all geared up towards a massive game. On a massive challenge for this team, the biggest we faced, and were looking forward to it. One more victory would see ireland equal the record run of consecutive wins in the top tier of the sport. To do it on the way to a first ever world cup semifinal would properly break new ground. Gavin andrews, bbc news, paris. Well, that quarterfinal will take place in saint denis, as will france against south africa. Wales face argentina in marseilles on saturday and england will be there for their quarterfinal against fiji on sunday. England lost to the Pacific Islanders for the first time in august. Forward jamie george told our rugby Union Correspondent chrisjones how that will motivate them. Yeah, quarterfinal weeks huge and you know opportunity to put a few things right because obviously that fiji game was shocking to say the least. So yeah, we make sure, you know, we take, take a lessons from that and and be a better team this week so that twickenham games on your mind the one from august . Yeah it is i think its probably the you know, it would be wrong of us to sort of try and dismiss it. Were a better team, a much better team now than we were then. But, you know, ithink there are some clear things that we had to take away from that and sinfield has been very clear about reminding us, showing us a few clips that hurt, you know what i mean . Like when you watch us defend like that, thats always going to hurt. So he showed us a few clips and made sure that, you know, were fully aware that, you know, we probably owe them one. Yeah. Looking forward to that game. Thats jamie george with rugby Union Correspondent chris jones. Dont forget, you can get all the latest sports news from the bbc sport app or from our website as well. Thats bbc. Co. Uk sport, but for me and the rest of the team at the bbc sports centre. Goodbye for now. Hello. Well, so far this month, many parts of the country have been experiencing unseasonably warm weather. But now the transition to something colder is upon us. And before that happens, a lot of rain through the early hours across many parts of england and wales. The Colder Weather has already reached scotland and northern ireland. The colder winds are coming in from the north. So clearer spells here and colder in the morning. But across the bulk of england and wales its overcast. Outbreaks of rain heavy at times. This is the Weather Front and once it clears away that Colder Weather will sweep in from the north. So still a very mild morning in the south, the mid teens. And then its difficult to summarise the weather through friday across england and wales because it will change quite a bit from heavy rain to sunny spells, perhaps some thunderstorms, gusty winds. Its about 50 miles an hour on the south coast. So really changeable picture on friday across england and wales. But scotland and northern ireland, here different story, scattered clouds, a few showers, windy, cold winds in the north and temperatures around 12 degrees there in edinburgh. So once that Weather Front clears away friday night into saturday, it opens up the doors to those cold winds coming in from the north. Nothing particularly unusual for the time of the year. Its just that its going to be quite a shock to the system, especially for those of us that have been experiencing these high temperatures so far this month. So here it is, saturday. The winds are coming in from the north now for a change rather than from the south. And these are the temperatures on saturday 1a. So a degree maybe also around the average, colder than average i think in aberdeen around eight degrees celsius. And then Saturday Night into sunday, the winds will fall light in the centre of the country and with clear skies, that means cold weather, a touch of frost, i think even barely above freezing in rural spots in the south of the country. But with that and with an area of High Pressure building over the uk, its going to be fabulously sunny apart from some showers in the northwest of scotland, but below average temperatures i think across the board, whether youre in the north or the south, itll be around say ten, ten to 13 degrees. And that High Pressure is with us monday and into tuesday. Were right in the middle of that high. That means light winds, perhaps a touch of frosts and murky, foggy mornings. But i think towards the end of the week, it looks as though things could turn a little more unsettled and once again, a little milder. Thats it for me. Bye bye. Welcome to newsday.
