stage to honour what many people have said to me, rob burrow, one of the sport's own. bdam burrow, one of the sport's own. adam at wembley- — burrow, one of the sport's own. adam at wembley- a — burrow, one of the sport's own. adam at wembley. a busy _ burrow, one of the sport's own. adam at wembley. a busy day _ burrow, one of the sport's own. adam at wembley. a busy day for _ burrow, one of the sport's own. adam at wembley. a busy day for adam and the ground staff because four games were played. let's go from rugby league to rugby union. from rugby league to rugby union now, where northampton saints have ended a ten—year trophy drought. they are the premiership champions after being bath 25—21 in the playoff final. craig templeton was watching this one. a pack to twickenham for the showpiece event in english club rugby. one of these sites will get their hands on the trophy once more. but this much change with somebody losing their heads. you can't make tackles like that. sent off for an early bath. northampton took full advantage of the extra man immediately, with more space than before, soaring. saints added another, but bath got back into it, the try, 15—10 at half—time. it was the try, 15—10 at half—time. it was the 14 men of bath who started quicker, a smart kick, and he did the rest and levelled the score. eventually their defence started showing leaks. saints found in brittany and alex mitchell scored the try to seal their first premiership title in a decade. what are tape them and a moment, their final act as saints players to hold that trophy aloft. meanwhile, at the t20 world cup after their opening match against scotland was rained off — england are hoping to kick start their tournament. they are currently playing old rivals australie in barbados. england won the toss and decided to bowl. it hasn't gone to plan, australia started explosively. they put the defending champions under pressure early on with some huge hitting. they reached 50—0 inside four overs with a big total inside. england have dismissed both, with warner going for 39 and then travis head out. this is the latest. australia 90—2 after eight overs. you can follow it live over on the bbc sport website, where there is live radio commentary and text updates as well. earlier, there was a huge shock in group c as afghanistan beat 2021 finalists new zealand. rahmanullah gurbaz top—scored with 80 to set a target of 160. but new zealand got nowhere near it, fazalhaq farooqi taking four wickets as they bowled out the kiwis to win by 84 runs. that makes it two wins from two for afghanistan and they are currently top of their group. so, while england aim to defend their t20 world cup trophy, iga swiatek has successfully defended her french open crown. the number one seed beat italianjasmine paolini at roland garros for her third straight women's singles title. patrick gearey was watching. jasmine paolini had been climbing fast, rising from relative obscurity to the bigger stage of her life, but now another level altogether. iga swiatek is the queen of clay, but jasmine paolini couldn't afford to offer to much respect. she broke her early on, but swiatek was the back—to—back champion, she sensed the moment. she was soon on top. in the moment. she was soon on top. in the set and on your screen, the polish world number one can move the match into fast forward. jasmine paolini knew it was going away, and her remarkable turn has seen her beat great players, but swiatek is something else. she ceded one game in the second set, she's lost one singles match in the last five championships. a roland garros, she's moving from champion to phenomenon. it is more competitive, more complicated at the other grand slams. in paris, iga swiatek stand clear, a poll apart. so, swiatek�*s dominance has earned her the nickname "the queen of clay" which is a nod to iii—time men's singles champion rafa nadal, who was similarly dominant in paris. but our tennis correspondent russell fuller says it's not a title swiatek particularly wants. she tries to avoid comparisons to rafa nadal because quite probably she won't win 14 french open titles. she already has four and editor in 23 on the first friday of the championships. she's not been as dominant on other services. she has won the us open, but for her five grand slam titles have come on the clay. it looks like it will be her strength. in terms of history, at such a young age, she has now drawn level with martina hingis on five grand slam titles. figs level with martina hingis on five
