Sara orchard is in paris waiting for true blockbuster quarterfinals. We have known since the opening match of the tournament that ireland against new zealand was a possibility in this last eight, but it doesnt make it any less mouthwatering. It doesnt make it any less mouthwatering. It doesnt make it any less mouthwaterina. ,. , � , mouthwatering. No, thats right. The two quarters mouthwatering. No, thats right.

The two quarters finals being played in i two quarters finals being played in paris, the one on saturday and the one on sunday are both matches worthy of finals, let alone quarterfinals. But what a prospect they will be. Ireland, the world number one side and highly deserving of that stature. Also when you think about the fact that their captain, johnny sexton, has said he will retire after this tournament, so we are in Knockout Rugby Territory where every match could be his last. When it comes to the clash, ireland have been well tested in this world cup with significant victories over both scotland and south africa. New zealand havent been tested since that Opening Night loss to france. They have taken on the likes of italy, uruguay, namibia and racked up italy, uruguay, namibia and racked up huge scorelines, but they havent been the kind of opposition that will be in front of them when they take on ireland. They are a little bit unproven in their last few performances. He would say ireland are the favourites, but that is the moniker they are happy to carry. It is baffling to think that ireland have never reached the semifinals before. , j~. , before. This is the biafinal they have made before. This is the biafinal they have made at before.

A lot of those scorelines are big scorelines, as well. It is something that andy farrell has really tried to address since he has come in, about and for this ireland team about and for this ireland team about how they can go on to achieve this and not have any mental baggage going into this match, so they can play freely without the demons, as they have been called, in the build up.

Earlier this week he was back in training. We were told that ultimately it will be his decision whether he was put up for selection and he said in his press conference, he sat there today is the france captain, to say i am absolutely fine, both when it comes to physically and mentally to play this match. It wasnt what we would describe as a brain injury that he suffered, it was a bone injury. I think a lot of this is down to how he feels as he moves around the pitch himself. He says he is ready for it. Im sure the whole of france has breathed a huge sigh of relief, but should anything happen to him they do have a player on the bench and played with aplomb in their final pool match against italy, so they do have a very decent standing, but when it comes to Antoine Dupont he has epitomised this world cup and everyone is delighted he will be back. Like paris, marseille will host two quarterfinals, but unlike the capital, the two on the south coast of france will both involve home nations wales tomorrow before england on sunday. Our correspondent andy swiss is there for us. It isa it is a big game, so for england in particular, much interest in who would be selected, but particularly this because of the questions around the fly half. This because of the questions around the flyhalf the flyhalf. Thats rights. There had been reports the flyhalf. Thats rights. There had been reports all the flyhalf. Thats rights. There had been reports all week the flyhalf. Thats rights. There had been reports all week that l the flyhalf. Thats rights. There i had been reports all week that Steve Borthwick was going to make some interesting selection calls, and he has. The big news is that owen farrell starts at fly half, which means there is no place in the starting 15 for george ford, who was so impressive for england in their opening game against argentina when owen farrell was suspended. In Contract Length both of them alongside each other in their last game against samoa. Its fair to say it didnt work out, so owen farrell will start at fly half, george ford will start at fly half, george ford will start at fly half, george ford will start on the bench. The other big bit of news is that marcus smith will start at fullback in place of freddie stewart. He has been one of the best players for england in recent years, so that again is a big, big call, but marcus smith perhaps offers a few more attacking options from fullback. He has been impressive when he has come on in this tournament. England felt obviously in the wake of that disappointing performance against samoa that they had to make some changes and they have.

The ones we have been speaking to are in pretty confident mood, perhaps that is not a surprise because they have been impressive at this world cup so far. Fourwins been impressive at this world cup so far. Four wins out of four. When you bearin far. Four wins out of four. When you bear in mind the doom and gloom that has surrounded welsh rugby for so much of this year, that is no mean feat. They are pretty much at full strength tomorrow. The one bit of bad news is that they wont have their number eights, jelly paypal a try, he has broken his arm and is out for the rest of the tournament. But they do have dan biggar back at fly half. He has recovered from the injury he picked up against australia. And they have their head coach, warren gatland. He is a man who knows how to get through these High Pressure situations. Each of wales to the semifinals in 2011 and 2019, and will be confident he can do it again tomorrow. Youre watching sportsday live from the bbc sport centre. Still to come, ahead of tomorrows Super League Grand final, we hear from one of the games greats as he prepares for his last ever match. I have one things before, individually and as a team, but i wont get any other chance. This is my final chance. It means it is the biggest game of my career. It means it is the biggest game of my career. Englands friendly against australia at Wembley Tonight will take place amid a mixed response to the football associations decision about how to mark the events in israel and gaza at the match. A rabbi working on an fa faith group has resigned, saying he was Profoundly Disappointed that the Governing Body decided not to have a specific tribute to the victims of the hamas attacks in israel. Players wearing black armbands and there will be a period of silence, which the fa say will remember the innocent victims of the devastating events in israel and palestine. The england manager has defended that decision. The fa will have consulted with everybody they possibly can and they will have tried to make the best decision with good intentions. Clearly, whatever decision they came to would have been criticised in one way or another, so i recognise how difficult it is for them. I wasnt involved in those discussions. They went on for a long time, i know, but they have take the stance i they have, and we will get on with that. Dan rowan is beside me. Rabbi Alex Goldberg has resigned. He dan rowan is beside me.

Principally, he said that he was unhappy that there hadnt been as specific tribute to the victims of the hamas attacks on israel this week. He said the decision by the fa is not to like the Wembley Arch Up in the colours of the israeli flag will have caused upset among members of the jewish upset among members of thejewish community. He also criticised upset among members of the jewish community. He also criticised the decision to ban israeli and palestinian flags from being brought inside Wembley Stadium for that friendly against australia, and their qualifier against italy on tuesday. He said he hadnt been consulted over these decisions. There has been criticism building this week in some quarters over the fas first you had David Bernstein saying he wanted the wembley arch let up in the colours of the israeli flag. Last night, the Secretary Of State for media, culture and sport said that she was disappointed when the fa announced that they were taking a more neutral stance and it would be the Wearing Of Black Arm Bands but the players and also that period of silence paying tribute to the innocent victims in both israel and in gaza.

First of all they said they were sorry to hear that he was quitting. They made the point that this faith in Football Group is not part of their formal governance structure, it is an advisory group, and they also defended the decision over the banning of the israeli and palestinian flags tonight, saying that was a request. That advice had come from senior members of the jewish community. In terms of their wider thinking, what is crucial here is that they were wary of being seen, being perceived to take sides in a long standing and complicated wider Middle Eastern disputes and conflicts. That explains why they chose the words that they did in that statement and chose not to like the Wembley Arch Up in the way that some had requested it to be done. They factored in the wishes of the australia team. They are mindful of the fact that australia next month Play Palestine in a world cup qualifier. From what i understand it felt that the australians wanted a more neutral stance to be taken. They have taken advice, they say, and have thought long and hard about exactly what they should do and they also feel, i think it is fair to say, that their stance is consistent with that taken by other sports governing bodies. We saw today that the fifa president wrote to the israeli and Palestinian Football Association is expressing his great sympathy for victims on both sides. They feel, i think that it is unfair that they might be singled out for criticism. ,. , that they might be singled out for criticism. , ~ ,. , the International Olympic committee have recommended five new sports to be part of the olympics, which will now go to a vote. They include flag football, baseball and softball, squash, lacrosse and cricket, the last of which ioc president thomas bach says can help the olympics reach a new audience.

India and pakistan only play each other in global events like the world cup. Indias because stadium will host a booth tomorrow. The rivalry is rooted in the difficult political situation. For members of the squad itself, they were only guaranteed visas 48 hours before they left for their first trip to they left for their first trip to the country in seven years. This is a match that is being played in Mahendra Modi Stadium and it is one of the biggest Cricket Rivalries and one of the greatest sporting rivalries, india versus pakistan. It was an incredible feat to get this match here. There was a lot of toing and froing before anything happened and froing before anything happened and now that the match is happening in the stadium it is really an incredible moment. The stadium can hold 130,000 fans, most of which will be fans of the indian cricket team, so really an immense stage to be playing at the world cup. And a huge logistical effort not only getting visas to the pakistan team, but also getting all those 130,000 people inside that stadium with a minimum of fuss, but also security threats. Security threats. Absolutely. I think there security threats. Absolutely. I think there has security threats. Absolutely. I think there has been security threats. Absolutely. I think there has been some i security threats. Absolutely. I i think there has been some criticism of the way the ticket sales have been going on in generalfor the Cricket World Cup and even more specifically for this game. In general we have seen that attendance for some of these matches has been really quite low. You see a lot of empty stands. When it comes to this particular match they only set the date for at 100 days ago. They only started selling tickets about a month or two in advance. Now they are saying theyre going to release another few thousand tickets for this game. That only happens very recently. Theres been a lot of criticism about how difficult it has been to get tickets for this match. In terms of security, there will be a lot of security here. We have seen security personnel Walking Around the perimeter and making their arrangements. Because this is such a big game at a big rivalry you have a Lot Of Bollywood Stars in attendance, you can expect a lot of politicians will be in but who wont be a lots of pakistani fans because many of those visas came through. As far as the match between these two great rivals, the record that india has over pakistan at this tournament is extraordinary, pakistan have never beaten india. Given the size and the intimidating atmosphere the indian fans will create, to many of the indian fans doubt it will be 8 0 at the end of saturday . I doubt it will be 80 at the end of saturda . ,. ,. ,. ,. , saturday . I posed that question to both captains saturday . I posed that question to both captains. When saturday .

For not part, they said they said they had played in big stadiums before, played on The World Stage before. Yes, this is a big atmosphere, but again it comes down to how well you play the game. Time of some of the days other headlines now and after a 20 year career that included more test runs for england than anyone else, Alastair Cook has retired from cricket. The former captain has carried on playing for essex since quitting the intenrational game five years ago and says, this is the right time for this part of my life to come to an end.

It is a mouthwatering prospect for all of those nations. Thanks for watching. Goodbye. Hello there, good evening. Well, friday was another day of contrasts across the uk, with outbreaks of rain across much of the southern half of england and wales. Still the mild air lingering here before the front cleared south eastwards. Further north, lots of blue sky and sunshine, and it felt deceptively chilly despite the sunshine, too. It was blustery with a brisk north westerly wind. Over the weekend, were all coming into that colder feeling air, so quite a dramatic drop in temperatures. Still windy, but lots of autumn sunshine around, too. Now, heres our cold front. Its clearing out into the near continent overnight tonight, taking the heavy rain with it. The mild air being swept away, replaced by all of this cold air pushing down from the north west marked in the blue tones here. Temperatures will be dropping below the seasonal average this time. So, tonight, then, lots of clear skies developing. The winds lightening towards the south. Still some showers out towards the north and the west. The winds strengthening, though, across Northern Scotland. And this is how well start off saturday morning, on a much colder note, especially for england and wales, than weve been used to of late. On saturday morning, well, there will be low pressure centred across scandinavia, some strong gusty winds out towards the aberdeenshire coast, possibly gales, even severe gales. Also across the northern isles, too. Elsewhere, a Brisk Northowesterly wind just blowing these showers further southwards and eastwards, even across southern england perhaps for a time, but most frequent for the north and the west. Possibly wintry over the hills of scotland and wales. The further east you are, the drier your day is likely to be. But there will be a lot of sunshine around, but its not really helping to lift the temperatures too much, 8 11; celsius. Its going to be cold on saturday night into sunday. The winds will lighten. Therell be lots of clear skies around. There will be a frost for many northern areas. I think temperatures here dropping below freezing, possibly even a ground frost for many rural spots in the southern half of the uk as well. So a cold, possibly a frosty start to the day on sunday. Now, on sunday, there will be some cloud across Northern Scotland and some showers here, so possibly a little milder. Elsewhere dry, lots of sunshine. Temperatures numerically will be lower on sunday, peaking only between 9 12 degrees celsius, but because there wont be quite so much added wind chill, it will probably feel a little more pleasant. As we head into the start of next week, High Pressure builds in. Its dry and its settled as you can see from our outlook for our capital cities. Bye bye. Live from london, this is bbc news.
