England hold off a tongan fight back in auckland to reach the Rugby League World cup final for the first time in 12 years. And i will be reporting from here after two days of level pegging it is australia have the upper hand. Good evening, thanks forjoining us, lots to get through today on this chilly november evening all the days football, the latest from the Rugby League World cup and, fittingly, some Winter Sports for you too. But were going to start with rugby unions final round of autumn internationals. And scotland finished their series on a high, with a record thumping of australia. 53 24 it finished, with the wallabies down to 14 men. James burford was watching. Despite losing their star man stuart hall to injury there was the feeling that this could be a special day and saw it started, murrayfield is not particularly used to seeing this kind of football. Can he win the race . And mcguigan scorers for scotland the visitors responded, two tries in scotland and on the back foot. Then a red card for australia and a serious chance for the hosts and one that Sean Maitland grabbed with both hands, being chased by the race he was never going to lose. So the floodgates opened, jinks appeared in aussie armourand opened, jinks appeared in aussie armour and the scottish chain was stronger than ever. Try after trying a state hired and weakening australian defence, the murrayfield crowd roaring ever louder. Eight tries scored in a record win over australia in Scottish Rugby is in a good place. An amazing results to think we scored some many points against the number of the team in the world and obviously have to take into account the red card, they were playing well at the beginning of the game and came back well in the second half but i felt we need to i felt he kept that made set of wanting to play and work hard and got rewards. For england, its three wins out of three now they beat samoa 48 14 at twickenham. The samoans have lost every game this autumn but england only pulled away in the second half, elliott daly impressed coach eddiejones with two tries. A last minute score made it a record victory against samoa, henry slade set up Semesa Rokodoguni for this, englands seventh try. Although afterwards captain Dylan Hartley said he was happier with the score than the performance. Wales are finishing their series with their toughest test theyre taking on the all blacks in cardiff. New zealand scored two tries. But wales finally made the pressure count with Scott Williams scoring just before the break. The only one point behind at half time. Wales have not been usual 64 years. 12 11 to new zealand early in the second half. Meanwhile ireland have the edge over argentina in their final test. David stockdale has scored the only try of the match so far withjohnny sextons kicking adding to the current score of 13 0 in dublin. Adding to the current score of 180 in adding to the current score of 18 0 in dublin. Its been a busy day of action in the premier league. And the race for the top four is hotting up, as liverpool are hosting chelsea in the late kick off at anfield right now. It is currently liverpool zero chelsea zero. It was a fairly easy first half. Frilly even first half. Ahmed sala has been in great form for liverpool and came closest to giving them the lead before the break against his old club. There was a surprise result at wembley this afternoon. Fresh from topping their Champions League group of death in midweek, spurs had to come from a goal down to earn a i all draw against west brom. Soloman rondon produced a shock on four minutes, after dele alli gave the ball away and some awful defending led to the opener. Caretaker manager gary megson and his team managed to keep spurs at bay until harry kane equalised at close range deep into the second half. Despite having more than 75 per cent possession, Mauricio Pochettinos men simply couldnt find the winner. It means spurs remain 4th, now ten points off the top of the table. Disappointed because the effort was massive but we conceded the goal saw early in the game and they had the belief, they players deeper and difficult fun is to find space. We moved the ball is now in the first half an hour. In the last 15 minutes i think we created something and then the second half we were much better and created a lot of chances to score. Having led for so long it was disappointing the manner of the goal we conceded. Whoever we are playing against, a side as good as spurs on another site, we should be blocking the cross and 0k they have had a lot of possession, they have not had what i would call absolutely clear cut chances so from that point of view i felt we defended really well. Crystal palace picked up another vital three points in their fight against relegation, as they beat stoke 2 1 after some late drama at selhurst park. Mamadou sakho bagged the winner in the 92nd minute, just moments after Yohan Cabayes shot had hit the post. It means palace are now unbeaten in four games. Roy hodgsons men are still bottom of the premier league, but just three points from safety. We have played better rethink on a couple of games we got drawers and were just couple of games we got drawers and werejust hoping couple of games we got drawers and were just hoping that one day Something Like this would happen, we would not hit the high spots as as oui would not hit the high spots as as our game would not hit the high spots as as ourgame is would not hit the high spots as as our game is concerned, but we get a bit of good fortune when we needed it and that is what we got there. The great thing is our fans are so with the cheetahs on. They do stay to the end, unlike a lot of clubs fans. Maybe that is one of the things that will help us as we go forward trying to climb out of the hole that we have dug for ourselves. When the ball comes to your box you have to do the right things, clear your lies and start again and clear head and i think we played a bit of hope for football towards the end where we were hoping boss would run through and that someone would clear it and really you have to take the initiative yourself. So four games unbeaten for palace but its four losses in a row for newcastle, as rafael benitezs side succumbed to a 3 0 hammering by watford. Its the first time the visitors have managed back to back wins this season. Today the goals came from will hughes and andre gray in either half, with an own goal from Dandre Yedlin just after the restart. Watford remain 8th in the table, just three points off 4th placed spurs. Newcastle are 13th, 4 points adrift of the bottom three. We started losing the focus and concentration and making more mistakes, so i was really disappointed because this is the premier league. If you make mistakes you play you pay for that. Congratulations to the fans of newcastle, fantastic. They always support their very good. It is a good example for everyone. I think we deserved the three points. There was a real battle for Manchester United at old trafford where they beat brighton i nil thanks only to a big deflection. Ashley youngs shot looped in off lewis dunk to give united the win and a run of 39 games unbeaten at home. Brighton had been the better side until that point. Their keeper provided great saves to keep Romelu Lukaku and paul pogbas shots out of the net. Leeds united it means united are within five points of manchester city. We have played so many amazing match is going so many goals and playing beautiful football, a mess like this always comes and when it arrives and 3 0 nil is there in the one liners there and we managed to score a goal and keep a clean sheet. Again i dont east midlands today i will not repeat, congratulations to them on that game. Amazing approach. And again, my boys, they did not play well but they gave everything. We gave a really good account of ourselves today, we limited united to one really did save that matty ryan had to make but not really a clear chance in the game. I thought we had good period of possession and to come here at old trafford and have that i think speaks volumes for the group of lads today. Lets have a look at the days results in full. One other game this afternoon where levi fa re one other game this afternoon where levi fare missed a golden opportunity to take the points for swa nsea ha d opportunity to take the points for swansea had only managed to call the straw at home to bournemouth. Still goalless at anfield with liverpool and chelsea. At the top of the table united remain citys nearest challengers, city adelaide huddersfield tomorrow is the race for the top four get even tighter. Liverpool and watford are all in the mix while burnley and personal battle it out tomorrow. It is just as tight at the other end, swansea are also in the drop zone and west brom stay out of the bottom three. Everton a re brom stay out of the bottom three. Everton are two points from safety, away at southampton tomorrow. There were just two games in the scottish premiership today. Hibernian missed the chance to go second in the table after drawing one all at hamilton academical. Hearts have now gone 5 games without a win after they played out a goal less draw with ross county. In the championship, leeds beat yorkshire rivals barnsley two nil to move up to 8th in the table. First half goals from samuel saiz and Ezgjan Alioski helped leeds to a comfortable victory. For barnsley, thats now two successive home defeats. Elsewhere in the championship aston villa beat ipswich 2 nil, Chris Coleman got his first win as manager of sunderland they beat burton two nil and move off the bottom of the table its their first win since mid august. Fulham beat millwall one nil. Bristol city came from 2 nil down to win 3 2 at hull city. There were also convincing wins for derby and wolves. That is a round up of the football now. That is a round up of the football now. Still to come Lewis Hamilton is world champion, but he was pipped to pole position by his team for the season ending abu dhabi grand prix. And theres gold for scotlands women at the european curling championships, but could the men follow suit . Showdown with tonga, Wayne Bennetts side will now face australia in next saturdays showpiece. And what a semi final it was in auckland asjoe lynskey reports. For england, some wins are worth waiting for. After three straight defeats in world cup semifinals, victory finally came, but with a scare. To get to brisbane, england had to cross the red sea. In auckland they were staring down at tongas town. This stadium can hold a quarter of the nation, but england found an early break. Wing play in this sport is about timing and Jermaine Mcgillivray is rarely late. By half time they had it under control. The team looked safe and sound and John Batemans third score looked to have sealed it. But in the end englands Cruise Control became survival instinct. Tonga trauma overcome, it is australia next for the title. It was an extraordinary match and afterwards our rugby league correspondent dave woods was pitchside to look back on the action. We had just witnessed an incredible occasion, england through to the World Cup Final but only by the skin of their teeth. And what an atmosphere, we have witnessed here in auckland. Justin martyr worked with the kiwis down the years. Justin, you live in the city and have you ever seen anything quite like this . Never. You have to remember we are in new zealand and this is a tonga v england game so it has been phenomenal way they have really let this world cup alight, not only here in auckland but with their games and hamilton as well. England are through, 20 18. What a finish. How did england hang on . Unbelievable, it went to a maelstrom. The kiwis were 16 18 and all of a sudden the emotional wave that came from this crowd, they got one score at all seven with seven minutes to go, that is a nice consolation. Bang bang, two more, and the whole place was bouncing. It wasjust euphoria and the whole place was bouncing. It was just euphoria that took them down the field, and the drama rated a very debt. What a seven minutes and lets not take away from england and lets not take away from england and how well they played in this game. I was going to see england can ta ke game. I was going to see england can take a heck of a lot from that when they face australia the world champions next week. 8096 of the game they were excellent. A little lapse in concentration but they will go and very confident next week, they defended their life of the majority of the game very well. They need to improve their kicking game, there we re improve their kicking game, there were some unforced errors in the first half. I think they will give the kangaroos are good run in next weekend. International rugby league has whispered about the big three, is failure new zealand or england and great britain. But tonga now in that group. They of the world cup. A lot of the players had with new zealand went to the tonga team in a defection and they played well right through the terminal, could have won today. You can stick away from the fa ct today. You can stick away from the fact that fiji where doing really well in this tournament as well so a lot of headaches and head scratching going on for people. It has been one of the most emotional noisy and incredible days of rugby league we have ever seen and again to match that as well, in one sitting co mforta ble, that as well, in one sitting comfortable, winning it and then tonga possessing the fightback. The bottom line is a london in the World Cup Final against australia in brisbane. Englands women playing the third and final test of their autumn series against canada. They lead the series 2 nil, having beaten the canadians convincingly last weekend and again on tuesday night and it looks like theyre going to pull of a whitewash leading tonight 31 7 with tries for england so farfrom marlie packer, abigail dow and jess breach. And heres a quick round up of the days premiership results for you. A blistering first half meant bath beat harlequins 38 14 securing the bonus point after just 20 minutes. And worcester won at leicester tigers for the first time in 112 years, winning 31 27. Sale versus northampton is the late kick off its 3 12 there. It is 1210 to it is 12 10 to northampton with half an hour to go. England have a slim lead after day three of the opening ashes test in brisbane, but it was australia who really turned up the heat. After a century from captain steve smith, his bowlers took two quick wickets in the final hour on day 3. Our Sports Correspondent andy swiss was watching at the gabba. It was a day that began promisingly for england with three early wickets, then the tables turned fact the brilliant innings for australias captain steve smith and then a torrid final session for englands batsmen. Two late wickets for australia. The first two days we re for australia. The first two days were level pegging, it is now australia who have the upper hand. After a to the ashes, was this the day pendulum swung . Its tantalisingly edged towards england. When ward removed start a first england lead was inside but they could not shift australias rock. Steve smith was notjust a century but the batting masterclass. That is what it means the rescue your team. With partners running out he guided australia into the lead and when the innings finally ended australia where 26 ahead and smith 141 not out, cheered to the rafters. Now for englands openers to steady the ship oi englands openers to steady the ship or not. A hug from Alastair Cook in stark reels in. It did not get any better in a torrid final session. James vince next, 17 2 as australias pace men piled on the pressure. Horrible woman forjoe root thankfully unhurt with Mark Stallman clinging on the close but england are up against that. It was such a final dramatic session, a torrid one. The paceman was steaming m, torrid one. The paceman was steaming in, the crowd were getting on their back, good Old Fashioned in, the crowd were getting on their back, good Old Fashioned ashes cricket. Mark stallman and joe root clung on until the close and stuart broad believes that could prove very significant. Crucial. The council easily lose 45 wickets and that is a test match gone. For someone who has bowled as period it is a wonderful time to ball, you have a brand new ball and your flesh and can charge in and you cant really lose anything in that hour, so i think obviously a bit disappointed to lose two wickets but as could have been a lot worse. Earlier there was no doubting the star of the show, brilliant innings from steve smith. 141 not out but practised really into the lead and afterwards he admitted it was one of his best innings. It will be up there, definitely. Obviously with the team ina bit definitely. Obviously with the team in a bit of trouble at 4 70 had to try and pass some time and date date and it was nice to put on a few partnerships with sean and Patti Cummins at the back end there. I thought he played particularly well so thought he played particularly well soi thought he played particularly well so ijust had to fight really hard, get a difficult period and keep batting. There were some reasonably defensive field sets and boundaries we re defensive field sets and boundaries were ha rd to defensive field sets and boundaries were hard to come by, it wasjust about getting off strike and waiting for the balls in my area and being really disciplined and i thought i did that really well. Australia will feel that they have a hedge now going into day for. If they can get early wickets tomorrow morning especially that ofjoe root they will feel they have an excellent chance of winning best first test. And you can follow what promises to be a really tense, and crucial day on test match special tonight 11. 30, play resumes at two minutes to midnight and you can follow all the action on bbc radio 5 live sports extra, the bbc sport website and the bbc sport app. Lewis hamilton is world champion, but he was pipped to pole position for the season ending abu dhabi grand prix.
