Avoiding defeat against spain in seville on thursday will do it for them, or if norway fail to beat cyprus, the tartan army can start booking their flights to germany. Jane dougall has more.

With five wins from five theyjust need to avoid defeat to spain and they are no longer sightseeing, they are going to next years euros. Making it six out of six, can we qualify . I think we can.

England face australia in a friendly on friday before a Euro Qualifier at home to italy next tuesday and england 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 a 3 1win 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 and that was really nice of him and i appreciated that. David had always been someone i looked up to when watched when i was a young boy and unfortunately i did not end up on the right wing and score and assist as many goals as he has but he was a big role model when i was growing up and i think itjust shows how classy he is to reach out to me and obviously many people are speaking about me at the moment and he shared what he went through and the resilience that he showed, what he did, he reminded me of the big moments i have had my career and i have to say when you go through tough mental period you have to remember past experiences and memories and where you have gone in your career and what you have been through. In every career, like i said, every career is up and down and especially when you reach what i have reached in terms of being the captain of the biggest club in the world for 3. 5 years and he has been in that position and he knows what it is like and obviously i watched a documentary and i could not believe how much he went through at the time. So, yeah, i know neville speaks a lot about how resilient he is as a person in the documentary and i think he is a role model for many footballers growing up especially in my era.

They have won 17 in a row and a slight favourites to topple the mighty all blacks on saturday night. Andy farrell seems to have a template for success and it is more of the same in terms of selection for the head coach. Players have proved their fitness picking up knocks against scotland weekend and in an unchanged pack Ian Henderson maintains his partnership in the second row. Joe mccarthy comes onto the bench for the injured james ryan and jimmy obrien gets his first opportunity of the tournament. This is a squad confident that they can deliver. It is the big boy stuff, the business end of the competition and when you get to those points in a competition then hopefully you draw on other experiences that you have had and all the moments of the last three or four years for moments like this. We have an experienced group and dealing with weeks like last week and this week is something we have gotten quite good at. It is something to going get, it is something that you dream of.

That fiji game was shocking, to say the least so we will make sure that we take lessons from that and be a better team this week. So they came from august is on your mind . Yeah, it is. It would be wrong of us do not try and dismiss it. We are a much better team now than we were then but i think there are clear things that we have to take away from that and our coaches being clear about reminding us of that and showing us clips that hurt. And made sure that we are fully aware that we owe them one. You can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website thats bbc. Co. Uk sport. From me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. Hello. Some fresh autumn weather on the way. Chilly even for some of us in Northern Parts of the uk, but certainly nothing out of the ordinary. Its been so mild across many parts of the country so far this month. So were back to really where we should be this time of the year. So this is whats happening on thursday. This is the air mass, the temperature of the atmosphere. So still some warmth and humidity across the south. In fact, temporarily thursday into friday, well see a resurgence of that warmth as the Wind Direction changes temporarily from the southwest. But then come saturday and sunday, its a northerly and that autumn chill arrives touch of frost across Northern Areas by night, even a little bit of wintriness across the scottish hills. So lets have a look at the forecast then through the early hours, really quite cloudy and wet across some southern parts of the uk. But to the north of that its generally clear and chilly. In the glens of scotland, temperatures barely above freezing, but most of our northern towns and cities around three to four degrees celsius in the south, on the south coast, its still really quite mild sort of remnants of that warmth leftover, but a lot of cloud during the day, little dribs and drabs of rain. And then i think across much of yorkshire, Northern Ireland, the bulk of scotland, a bright if not sunny day, just scattered fairweather clouds, 13, 1a, still 18 in the south. But then come the evening, widespread heavy rain sweeps into many parts of england and wales, a really wet thursday night into friday. Really complicated weather map here. On the one hand, we have a Weather Front coming in, a low pressure from the south and weve got a cold front coming in from the north. You can just about see it here. So i think for a time wet in the morning on friday, temporarily, that warmth, it literally clips the southeast with temperatures up to 20 in london, 19 in norwich. But the colder autumn air arrives in scotland, Northern Ireland and Northern England as well. So its a northerly temporarily or northern, but northerly, but then into next week, High Pressure builds and were right in the middle in the centre of this area of High Pressure. So that means the winds will be generally light, therell be a lot of sunshine around. So its going to feel very, very pleasant indeed. I think a lot of crisp autumn sunshine on the way. Thats it for me. Bye bye. Live from washington, this is bbc news. Israels military Build Up Gathers pace, ahead of an expected Ground Invasion of gaza.
