Hello and thanks forjoining us. Were going to take you to south africa, to australia and to San Francisco on the programme tonight. But we start in london, and to one of the most extraordinary stories of recent years. Saracens all conquering in domestics and european rugby confirmed over the weekend that they will accept relegation from the premiership at the end of the season. Its their punishment for what Premiership Rugby call persistent salary cap breaches. Rhia can run us through the details, and rhia this is enormous for english rugby . This has been described as the most this has been described as the most remarkable scandal the domestic game has ever seen. In the past five yea rs, has ever seen. In the past five years, saracens have dominated domestically and in europe. For a premiership trophies and three champions cups and now they are down to the championship. Think Manchester United being relegated at their height under sir alex ferguson, that is how big it is. Evenif ferguson, that is how big it is. Even if saracens when the cup this season, it is still an exit for them in europe. Well, today eddiejones said his 6 nation england squad and seven saracens player is a feature in it. Seven saracens player is a feature in it. Set his squad. Seven saracens player is a feature in it. Set his squad. It is a difficult time. They are good players. They know how to prepare well for games. They know where to put issues that are not pertinent at that particular time, for the next ten days, they know they have to be in the best condition otherwise they wont get picked. We have got a lot of pride, a lot of passion, they wa nt to of pride, a lot of passion, they want to play for england. At this period of time, it is probably the best thing for them. Included in that squad is the captain own farrell, vunipola. Do players as big as this one to play in the championship next year . Here are some of their options, it could be loaned or sold to another team. Other premiership teams have to be able to afford them. Are the players could take pay cuts and if they go abroad they cannot play for england. They could stay. Eddiejones can pick players from the championship. What about the impact on the club as a whole . Here is the former file route. The fans here is the former forward. They are innocent victims and all of this. Whether there is blame on individuals saracens finds himself on now, the ha rd est saracens finds himself on now, the hardest it will be far are the fans and they have no control over the finances of the club and the way it is run. I dont see how the club can necessarily survive as it is. I suppose they will have to lose people in recruitment and the sort of areas. This potentially could be the end of the club. An independent review into the salary cap regulations is already under way, but this whole saga has notjust hit the integrity of saracens as a club, but the premiership as a whole. Thank you very much. We havent heard from them all yet. This news broke over the weekend. We will be catching up with them over the next coming days. There will be an element of relief amongst the chairman. They have been fishing for this type of action. Although it has been primarily led of Premiership Rugby, had the backing of all of the chairman, who were suspicious about how saracens could be complying with the cap of the season when they were not last season. There will be that relief. We have had some frustration from some and the exeter chairman said over the weekend he would still like that initialjudgment published. There is disappointment that Premiership Rugby have refused that. My understanding is that would have to be a decision for saracens as well, they would have to approve for the releasement of the judgment. There is some sense that there are confidential bits out there. There is relief they have taken a tough sta nce is relief they have taken a tough stance against saracens but disappointed we got to the stage in the first place. What happens next . Well, the next few days are going to be fascinating. While the players will meet some of the top people at saracens will meet some of the top people at sara ce ns to will meet some of the top people at saracens to decide on their own futures, we spoke to the club captain after their club game yesterday and he said he had not decided on his future. It will be fascinating to see what the english internationals do. Owen farrell has been there for years, he might decide he wants to be in the league and have a rest. Others might decide they want to continue the upward trajectory and force a move. What mark mccall has said is that he will not force players to say. He does not force players to say. He does not want players to stay against their will. They say they are going to work with players to do what is right for each individual player. Well eddie jones has named his england squad for the six nations today, and one big name from saracens isnt in it. Theyve confirmed that Billy Vunipola broke his arm in their win over rasing 92 in the champions cup yesterday. That now the fourth time hes broken his arm in the last two years. Exeters jack nowell is also out injured. England play france in their six nations opener in paris next sunday. To south africa next, and englands biggest away win in more than nine years. They absolutely dominated south africa in the third test in port elizabeth, winning by an innings and 53 runs. They lead the series 2 1, and there are signs thatjoe roots young side might develop into something very special. Joe wilson reports. U nfu rl unfurl your flags and paint your face first, south africa were not going to last long on monday morning. Three more innings needed. Mark would balled as quick as he could, i was does. And the ball. Taken. An expressive cricketer. Whatever his mood. Check the weather, bright and encouraging, which brings us to the cricketer. The spin bowler was too much for south africa in this match. Big hitting was possible. South africa had been waiting five days for this sort of thing. Huge credit for the batsmen and the spectator who stayed alert. Yes, got it. South africa slogged and survived. Close, close, close. It was fascinating and a bit infuriating for england. The forecast says wind. Glad we wore the chainmail. What settled it was a throw from sam curry. England won without needing their second innings, with a very satisfied captain. Brilliant, clinical performance and i couldnt be more proud of the group. Four and a bit days and weve been excellent right from the start. England owed to one up with more to come. So england have their biggest win away from home in more than a decade and the former england bowler Derek Pringle says theyre moving in the right direction, but their next series in sri lanka will showjust how good they are. I think over the last ten years, englands results overseas have been pretty poor. The exception of that has been south africa. The last time they played pretty well there and this time, they have not won it yet, need to not lose the last test in johannesburg. I think last time in sri lanka they played really well in conditions very different from the one in south africa. It will be interesting to see where they are. I think sri will probably not play on a spinning picture is likely to last time, because that brought every spinner to the game, notjust their own. It will be interesting to see Going Forward what england will do. Test champion points cancels that important cricket. We will have an idea where the young side are once they have toured sri lanka. They are doing well at the moment. Hopefully, that confidence cant go forward to not only be test next week, but to the sri lanka tour as well. Still to come on sportsday. History for the kansas city chiefs. Their brilliant quarterback Patrick Mahones guides them to their first superbowl in 50 years. To melbourne next where after a couple of weeks of uncertainty, the rain came, the smoke cleared, and the Australian Open started on time. There was a sense of deja vu on the Margaret Court arena, as the 15 year old American Star coco gauff beat Venus Williams in the first round. Just like she did at wimbledon last summer. Austin halewood reports. For coco gauff, this was the moment everything changed. An unknown 15 year old knocking Venus Williams out of wimbledon. The upset made her one of the sporting stars of 2019. From londons lawns to the hard courts in australia, a lot has changed in the last 12 months for coco gauff but a lot of things remain the same. Same round, same opponent and the same score. Coco gauff took control from the tie break. Once again, a battle of the ages. Coco gauff was more than matched for everything the older pro had had. Venus had won four grand slam titles before coco gauff was born but she could not make that experience count. There were flashes of her best game but they were few and far between. Coco gauff wrapped it up in straight sets. The 15 year old claimed 600 places in the World Rankings in 2019. She is not finished there. My goal is to be the greatest and when as many grand slams as possible. I believe i can beat anyone. If it happens, i do not know. The great players, they do not fear anyone. As one of the greats of the game heads home from Melbourne Park on day one, coco gauffs spectacular rise continues. Loads of other big names in action on a rainy first day at Melbourne Park. Roger federer went through to the second reigning champion Novak Djokovic though was made to work a little harder. He had a bit of a wobble against Jan Lennard Struff from germany, and dropped the third set. But he sorted himself out, to win the fourth and then the match relatively easily. Djokovic loves this tournament, hes going for his seventh Australian Open title, and his 17th grand slam win. Meanwhile, Serena Williams is chasing a record equalling 24th grand slam title. Shes through to the second round thanks to a rapid win over, anastasia pota pova. They were on court for less than an hour. World number one, and home favourite ash barty is also through. What about the british interests then . Dan evans is the first brit through to the second round. The british number one beat the american Mackenzie Mcdonald in five sets. With the details heres our reporter, john watson whos out in melbourne. The rain relief that lead tournament organisers had to deal with today. Lets discuss the british interest and dan evans. A big win for him in
