Hosts delivered the results of the tournament wanted here in tokyo but they did not have it all their own way against a very determined russian side, ranked 20th in the world. The captain had been speaking in the build up to the game about how nervous he and some of the players wear and that nerves came to the fore here in tokyo as ben croucher reports. The rugby world in union, united for the first time in asia. After a colourful carnival showcasing the best in japanese colourful carnival showcasing the best injapanese culture, it was time for one of their other main loves. Nobody is expecting japan to win the trophy but after capturing hearts and minds they are aiming to surprise again, only they were the ones being shocked. Kirill golosnitskiy scored the first try of the tournament, it would be russias only try of the night, they lost to jozi in the build up and japan can ta ke jozi in the build up and japan can take you on even without looking. Kota ro take you on even without looking. Kotaro matsushima bull to the hosts into it, he thought he put them ahead only for a replay is to show a knock on. Four minutes later he removed all doubt, try in any language. This Japanese Team is a multicultural one. Pieter labuschagne was born in south africa, his brother helped australia retain the ashes. His text picked try put them the third of the night. Kota ro try put them the third of the night. Kotaro matsushima took three to himself to earn japan what could be a vital bonus point. For years with the world cup opening game and at times, it was obvious that the pressure got to some of our players. Iam pressure got to some of our players. I am pretty proud of how we battled through that. We are not as satisfied as we could be with our performance but we are definitely happy to get the win. Russia are a big team and a tough team, we got a bonus point and a win and that is awesome. We did some physical stuff today. Hopefully we can get a win. Awesome. We did some physical stuff today. Hopefully we can get a win hat trick for Kotaro Matsushima and a vital bonus point win forjapan who have been enthusiastic hosts. The atmosphere in the stadium and around the city has been really impressive and that enthusiasm will only grow should japan do well in this tournament. They may not win the whole thing, they are not expected to, but it can still achieve something really special and this world cup. Well be hearing a lot more over the coming weeks throughout the group stages. So we are up and running, japan are in the same group as scotland and ireland who face each other on sunday. Thats when england play tonga and wales take on georgia on monday. The first target, to finish in the top two in their repective groups to reach the quarterfinals, joe lynskey reports. They play each other at least once a year, some have even played together with the lions but for the nations this is the climax of the four year cycle a nd this is the climax of the four year cycle and in all four corners that there is optimism. This could be the most open world cup, the rankings say ireland read the way they write now the balance of power is turbulent. Last month their side chipped 50 points to england and wales rory best has led them to famous wins, the fear is they have pete too sin. They start against scotla nd pete too sin. They start against scotland but it might hinge on which i went turn up. We are world number one going into the world cup, people would have probably laughed as stop it shows how it can change over the matter of a week. I think new zealand were number one for three yea rs zealand were number one for three years so zealand were number one for three years so they are the favourites. Their debts and form have come with a coaches decision. These are his final weeks as ireland coach and so to buy the man in charge of wales, Warren Gatland has overseen their resurgence. They won a record 14 games any road to wendy six but this week coach has been sent home. It is undoubted disruption but the line from the camp is the players have stayed calm. They have been incredibly responsible and resilient, and sometimes that brings teams closer together. We have got to draw a line in the sand under this. England are the only home nation to have lifted the trophy but there last four years have been a roller coaster. To nations title but then a slump and the ghosts of home soil still hang over the side. In 2015 it was all over at the pool stage. This time argentina and france guide the way knockouts. For us, at the moment, it is important to get out of this pool. We have got tonga to start then argentina and france, that is our main focus but oui france, that is our main focus but our main focus is the first game, performing well and getting off to a good start. And place as the underdogs are scotland, seventh in the world but they have proved on their day, this side can beat anyone. Ireland and the hosts wait in the group. For us, we have to win all the big moments. We have to win every moment in the game, whether a rank, tackle or execution of a pass. I believe in this team and as individuals i believe we will create opportunities. In 2015 at none of the sides got beyond the last eight but this is japan, rugbys newest frontier and here, there is new hope. You can go to the bbc sport website for the all the latest home nations team news none are playing tomorrow, but there are some huge games to look forward to, australia against fiji, the french then take on argentina in englands group, and what a game in yokohama, the world champions new zealand facing south africa. I think it is a good way to start the world cup to play them at the beginning. You are going to play them anyway in your pool stage and i think it is a perfect time to play them now. Ithink think it is a perfect time to play them now. I think they will think them now. I think they will think the same thing, instead of waiting and waiting. We can prepare from the beginning now instead of saying the big one is coming, and see what we can do after. The key thing is we know we have a certain amount of good luck and bad luck as everyone else. It is what we do with it and what happens and how we react to it. That will be important but we have the talent to get the job done. You are up to date with the world cup. Well have more rugby later in the programme, we speak to two of the stars of the domestic game with the womens premier 15s season starting tomorrow. To the football, the next round of matches in the premier league actually starts tonight down on the south coast, southampton against bournemough, commentary on 5live, lets have a quick look at some of the other fixtures this weekend. 5 matches tomorrow starting with 5th against 3rd, leicester at home spurs in the lunchtime kick off. Champions Manchester City lost at norwich last weekend, theyre at home to watford. Sunday really sees the pick of the games. Chelsea and liverpool both lost in the Champions League this week, they face each other at stamford bridge, and theres a lot of respect bewteen the two managers. It is not polite it is the truth. I am not surprised he is doing a really, really good job with chelsea like with abu dhabi but it is a difficult league and we have to prove our quality in a three day rhythm so sometimes it works out and sometimes not. I respect him hugely and it was a nice thing to go up against him in the supercup nice thing to go up against him in the super cup because i have a huge amount of respect. I love how he has come into the club, his charisma, but not just come into the club, his charisma, but notjust that, professionally how he came in there, how is his way and does not mess about and he is quite rightly got the success. I will take words from him is a fantastic and experienced coach. Jofra archer has been rewarded for his incredible debut summer with the england cricket team. Hes been given a central contract for all forms of the game. He was englands leading wicket taker in the world cup, which they won, and he then showed what a force he can be in test cricket with an impressive ashes series. The england director of cricket ashley giles has been speaking to our co respondentjoe wilson. Joffres capable of anything. I did have a chat with his dad at the oval and he told me he thought he would do hundred Miles Per Hour next year andi do hundred Miles Per Hour next year and i said i would take that. It is important we look after him, it is not easy to pull that piece consistently and he is a fine asset for this team going for it. And that speu for this team going for it. And that spell of cricket against steve smith was probably as good as i have seen at any stage in my life. When you have that to hand, it is a scarce commodity and we need to protect it. Then stokes is a household name, that manifested one way with a certain tabloid story on the front page which he was angry about. How is he . I think people might be concerned that it might affect his enthusiasm to play cricket. Concerned that it might affect his enthusiasm to play cricketli concerned that it might affect his enthusiasm to play cricket. I dont think there is any danger of that. I do not want to say too much about that specific article except it was unnecessary, the timing was poor. It being about ben stokes was misjudged. The last six months he has become a National Hero and he is involved in some of the greatest cricket we have seen in this country. I hope the newspaper regret it, the best thing they could do is to apologise to his family. It was unnecessary but for ben, as we have seen during moments of this summer, he is rock solid, he is one of our warriors and best men in that team. Plenty more coming up this evening. We catch up with the fa cup dream is, irlam fc kicked off the second qualifying round of this seasons competition. If we are going to go out we want to go out with a blaze of glory and if we win, it is going to be unbelievable. The formula one championship has hit singapore, Lewis Hamilton has a 63 point lead in the title race and he was quickest in second practice today. Pollution levels in the city are at a three year high because of forest fires in neighbouring indonesia but the race shouldnt be affected. Jennie gow is there for us. This is a race that everybody loves, it is the singapore grand prix, not just the culture, the food, the people that make it special but the fa ct people that make it special but the fact it is done at a night race that you have 1600 likes bearing down on a circuit with 23 tones. It is a real challenge, both mentally and physically, for the drivers with a race lasting almost two hours. Last year Lewis Hamilton set one of the most incredible pull laps i have ever seen. He will want to do it again this year and to be honest, he is dominating in the earlier practice sessions. Going into qualifying, whoever gets that pole position is likely to be in the hot seat for winning the race. It is ha rd to seat for winning the race. It is hard to overtake you so we will see what happens. The background is a haze that has been smothering singapore and malaysia, coming from the forests over in indonesia. It is to be clearing here but on a day where climate is key, a lot of people will still be talking about that. Lets get back to rugby union. The elite womens domestic league, the 10 team premier 15s starts tomorrow. Its in its third season, and as the sport moves slowly towards professionalism, clubs will be marked notjust on their performance but also their structure and financial health, and if they do badly they could lose their place in the top division. Earlier i was joined by gloucester hartbury captain natasha hunt and her england teamate hannah botterman, who plays for the reigning champions saracens. Were just looking to build werejust looking to build on were just looking to build on last year and hopefully make it into the semis and finals again but we never know what is going to happen. As a squad we are in a good place so yeah, going into the first game this weekend. I have got the gloucester and highbury captain here with me, i know you are good friends. How are you going to catch the saracens this season, who can . I think everyone has recruited really well. There has beena has recruited really well. There has been a lot of stuff on social media about the players coming in, we have got a couple of girls coming in from overseas and they have bolstered our squad, we are all about the culture we are creating. The girls know each other and it is a great place to be, Everyone Wants to work hard for each other and there is so much competition across the board. Hannah, yourclub is competition across the board. Hannah, your club is laying down the pathway towards probably professionalism in the womens game. You are on retainers and match fees, what difference does it make being a player plus the whole medical support . I have never played rugby because of the money but for some of the girls, well, for anyone who plays rugby, to get paid at club for games is a really special thing for us. Games is a really special thing for us. We are laying the way for what is to come across the board with all the teams so i think, yeah, it is a really exciting time for us, especially for some of the girls who are not professional to be getting a Little Something for playing well week in week out, its really exciting and special for them. Week in week out, its really exciting and special for themm week in week out, its really exciting and special for them. It is going to be a very important season. For the last two seasons it has been a lot league, no relegation, but now i understand all ten teams are going to be audited. It is not on where you finish but it is making sure you have your house in order. There is a big gulf between the haves and have nots. It is going to be a distressing time for some clubs. There is pressure on teams to finish top six and its pressure on each team to make sure they are hitting the minimum standards so that when the minimum standards so that when the league set out, they had minimum standards you want to hit. Things such as doctors, medical provision, making sure facilities are in order and gems are in order, and making sure everybody is going to be audited privately against that. And top six is going to have a weight to it, they are going to open the league cup so there are going to beat four teams in the bottom who will have to go through the whole again with any team who want to put their hat in the ring. Teams like exeter who have put their hands up and are aware of potentially wanting to come in, it is a tough time. There is a bit more pressure. There feels there is a bit more bite about the leak. I hope this bit of rugby business in japan does the leak. I hope this bit of rugby business injapan does not overs ha d ow business injapan does not overshadow the slot of your season for the next six weeks. In some ways hopefully you can feed off the interest in rugby union. For sure, i am surei interest in rugby union. For sure, i am sure i can speak for hannah when i say we are excited for the Rugby World Cup coming up. We will be playing our games, getting up in the morning to watch and sundays will be a silver sill 30. Any game is a pinnacle. We wish the boys the best out there. Lets have a look at the other headlines today. Danny willett is the joint leader at the halfway stage of the pga championship at wentworth in surrey. Hes tied on 11 under with Spains Jon Rahm after a second round of 65. Rory mcilroy just rory mcilroyjust made the cut but he is 12 shots behind. Englands Patrick Mccormack is through to the welterweight final of the world boxing championships in russia after beating third seed usmon baturov of uzbekistan. Ac milan will launch an Anti Racism Task force for this weekends game against local rivals inter, its being billed the derby against racism. It comes in response to recent racist incidents including former Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku being subjected to monkey chants away at cagliari. Its another fa cup weekend, 80 ties coming up in the second qualifying round. The first will take place at silver street tomorrow lunchtime and the biggest match in the history of irlam fc. Their tie with former league side york city will be streamed live on the bbc. They are one of the lowest rank sides left in the competition, and as adam wild reports, its an occasion theyre relishing. This is and in greater manchester, just down the track from some of the more illustrious the following neighbours but could this be the destination for another extraordinary fa cup journey. It is on silver street, the home for it irlam fc with dreams of one piece of silverware are taking shape. The visit to york city, the biggest day in this club history has got the community talking. To see 1000 people on here would be a fantastic achievement. I think it will happen. It has set the town alight from a sponsors point of view and the community, ever get everyone behind us community, ever get everyone behind us it will make a huge difference. Irlam fc play on the ninth tier of football. Their opposition arrive with a rather richer history. Just go for it, see what happens, fingers crossed, could be a giant killing. That is part of the plan, the plotting, the preparations are now in place. In front of the cameras tomorrow, irlam fc are hoping to spring a surprise. It may still be the early stages of the fa cup but it is never too soon to start dreaming of that famous fa cup upset. Their opposition on the weekend, that is something they know a thing or two about causing. The classic fa cup, it has the full flavour of the competition in york. It has been more than three decades since york knocked arsenal out of the cup, ed few could forget. Ed very few could forget. Well be talking about the saturday net story in york in 30 years time. Now almost 35 years on york play the pa rt almost 35 years on york play the part of giants, street looking to make the headlines. It is massive for the club, the biggest game in the history. When we saw the possibilities for who we could draw in this round, york city stand out as the biggest club with the biggest history and deceit the atmosphere that has gone around the town since andy busby game has created, it is full of irlam fc, irlam fc, irlam fc, which is the town buzzing, if it clu b fc, which is the town buzzing, if it club hoping an ethic cup upset may be waiting. A club hoping a fa cup upset may be waiting. Now until recently, youd probably never heard of the Football Club fort william, but after 840 days and 73 matches without a League Victory they were getting a bit of unwanted publicity but that spell finally ended in mid week with a 5 2 win. Football focus has been along to see how that long awaited result felt. Weirdly, you knew it was going to come. You could see the way they we re come. You could see the way they were turning things around. A great deal of satisfaction for the guys, for example, for the scottish cup game. We knew he had that talent and just needed to supply. The motto is, i believe, for fort william and it has never been more relevant. And you can see more from fort william fc on football focus tomorrow thats on bbc one at midday. Cyclings road World Championships start in yorkshire on sunday but theres a paracycling International Event tomorrow. There are ten different races, amongst the favourites to win the mens tandem are partially sighted steve bate and his racing partner Adam Duggleby. Sally hurst has been to meet them. Steve bate and Adam Duggleby are gold medal winning paralympians, a force to be reckoned with on the tandem but they did the bulk of their training apart so we asked them to ride on roads near harrogate in different ways. Steve on a Virtual Reality training tools and adam on the road. For visually impaired athletes like steve Virtual Reality rating can break up the boredom of indoor training. My condition is effectively tunnel vision so there is no cure for what i have. My visualfield is getting narrower and narrower. I can i have. My visualfield is getting narrower and narrower. I can still write on the road but all the hard work i do is on the trainer inside. These are lovely. Harrogate is a stunning, isnt it . Some of the climbs on this course are quite steep. I think it is going to change the race. Up to that point, for beverley it is going to be quite flat and the wind might play a part as well. This is the last race of the season for them. Their World Championships were last week in the netherlands where steve and adam came in second place to the dutch in the time trial. The several medals have been hard to swallow so hopefully we will step it up on saturday and go one step further. Running the yorkshire Para Cycling International the day before the World Championships begin means that para World Championships begin means that pa ra cyclists can World Championships begin means that para cyclists can share race structure and the celebratory atmosphere. Big crowds make a big difference, it is nice having support and people shouting and encouraging you along the way, really, especially when you have family there. It is a great opportunity to showcase para sport and it is going to be great to see the streets lined and hopefully eve ryo ne the streets lined and hopefully everyone will get behind us and make this a special event. That will be a great starter for this a special event. That will be a great starterfor some this a special event. That will be a great starter for some fantastic cycling around yorkshire over the next week or so. Lets just return to the world cup, leicesters ellis genge will be on the england bench against tonga on sunday. Before heading to japan he took the bbcs Alastair Durden back to where he was born in bristol. This is where i grew up. The Council Estates in bristol are aware ellis genge was brought up. Are you proud to be from here . 100 . His to be from here . 10096. His playground is a little bit different now but elliss rooted to the top has not been straightforward. What was it like growing up here . Tough, it was not easy. Rugby back in the day was quite an upper class sport and turning up some of the trials, you could tell where i was from. You have proved a point, background doesnt matter. It does matter, clearly, actually. To be fair, now more and more, there are different people from different backgrounds. 0ne people from different backgrounds. One of my greatest mates in rugby from the heart of null. This is the letter we got from eddie jones when ellis got his First International cap. At his parents whom they have kept a record of his career. Room for a world cup wall . We willjust have to extend again. When you break it down, she has got quite a few pictures. Someone will think i have died. Elliss success is all the more remarkable because he was diagnosed with dyspraxia at school, a condition that affects physical coordination. We thought i wasjust really bad. Clumsy. That is what we labelled it as, i did a test at 13. The lady tested him and said it is impossible for this child to pick up a pen and write because not only has he got dyspraxia but he has enormous hands for a child of his age. That is quite funny, i still laugh when i read it. Even before rugby, ellis is a character so i always knew he was going to be something ijust didnt know what. The proudest moment was when he won a bidding competition, ive got to be honest with you. His first taste of rugby was at old red coffee and is in brislington. He was just nine when he played for them. Even then his star quality shone through. He was really the backbone of this site any brought so many players along. He is a grassroots player, this is a Grassroots Club and to have one of our sons on the big stage of all, we are going to love it. I will never forget this, i have so many fond memories of this place and its quite emotional, really. From old red to the red rose of england, his fascinating story isnt done yet. It is an explanation of it is a inspirational story as well. Just a reminder of our top story, the Rugby World Cup is under way, the hosts japan beating russia in the opening match, we have correspondence all over Japan Bringing you the latest. Ill have the very latest from the tournament tomorrow evening in sportsday at half 6 and half 7, but whatever sport youre following, have a great weekend. Hello, it is going to feel warm in the sunshine again tomorrow. Today we had temperatures in the mid 20s in highland and grampian and overnight we will have clear skies and it is going to be dry. Some patchy cloud developing and heading into eastern scotland, a little fog because the breeze keeps going and isa because the breeze keeps going and is a result it will not be as cold as it has been over the past couple of nights. If you look at the south west we may see some cloud and showers coming into the far west of england and wales and later into Northern Ireland but there will be my sunshine to come. Still quite gusty winds, especially for the western side of the uk, but the heat is across much of wales into the midlands to as the Home Counties where temperatures will be up to 25 degrees. Things change overnight and into sunday. We started to show is pushing up from the south west, those could be heavy and thundery than a band of more organised rain comes in. That should be clearing away from wales in the south west of england in the afternoon as it turns cooler and fresher and the north east of scotland, likely to be dry and one in northern and eastern england. Warm. Its to bbc news. The headlines at seven. Thousands take to the streets. Calling for tougher action to combat climate change. From nairobi to new york, sydney to stockholm. Millions protesting more than 150 countries around the world. We are young, and we are the ones who are going to have to live with this in the future. And we are not the ones who have caused this crisis. Thousands of jobs are at risk for british holiday makers could be left stranded as thomas cook faces collapse.
