That's all from us - but it promises to back another packed weekend of sport right across the BBC.

I'd recommend you go straight to live coverage of the Rugby World Cup, with the opening ceremony and all the build up to the first game between England and Fiji.

Enjoy!

Former England winger Mark Cueto says Stuart Lancaster's squad need to avoid any distractions if they are to life the William Webb Ellis trophy.

“A lot of the time you’re in a bit of a bubble and you need to stay in that bubble because I think if you come out and you see everything that’s going on and you see the anticipation and excitement, it could potentially be a bigger weight on the shoulders than you want.”

"Today will be a long day, they’ll be itching to get out on that field as soon as they can and so wait until 8pm for kick off tonight," he added. 

"There’s a little bit of disruption around the warm up with their usual routine, they won’t be able to go out on the pitch but they’ll be prepared for that and hopefully it won’t affect them at kick off.”

Surrey all-rounder Zafar Ansari will miss Saturday's One-Day Cup final against Gloucestershire at Lord's after dislocating his thumb while fielding.

Bamba A Kanyi: What's the differences from when English clubs were dominant?

I think the tide was already starting to turn in the late 2000s, Bamba. Remember what a mess Barcelona made of Manchester United in the 2009 Champions League final and again two years later?

I think there has been a decline in the quality of the English sides and just look at the players at Real Madrid, with Cristiano Ronaldo, who they took from Manchester United, and of course football's greatest forward line at Barcelona with Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar.

They have improved while the English teams are not as good. Fairly simple, actually.

They are club and country team-mates as well as flatmates - but how well do Bath and England pair Jonathan Joseph and Anthony Watson know each other?

Andy Murray has been speaking to the media, while craning his neck to try and keep track of Dan Evans' progress on the big screen, and confirmed that he is up for doubles selection. 

While pointing out it is Leon Smith's decision and not his, Murray says: "I think everyone in the team wants to play, wants to try and help."  

Dominic Clarke: Will the Arsenal board ever sack Arsene Wenger and bring in a manager that will get good players?

I do not believe the Arsenal board will sack Arsene Wenger - I think he will only leave Arsenal at a time of his choosing. I am not saying this is right, although I should stress I'm not advocating his sacking either, but you've asked me what I think and that is what I think.

I am a huge Wenger admirer but, on your second point, I believe he has made a very big error by not signing a quality defensive midfield player and, even more importantly, a striker in the transfer window. Time will tell just how big.

You don't catch many former US presidents doing this.

Buit Jimmy Carter, 90, and his wife wife Rosalynn were caught on the 'Kiss Cam' at a baseball match in Atlanta.

“Memphis and Shaw were a very good combination, and now you have to build up a new combination. You have to start again and that is difficult.

"It’s also difficult for the player who has to replace him. But we have in Blind, Rojo and in Ashley Young, good replacements.”

After heavy rain stopped play between Europe and the USA earlier, the fourballs in the Solheim Cup will resume at 5.30pm.
