Shane Daly: Grealish is overrated, young doesnt mean that you are good, will he get to go to a world cup with ENG? He may regret it later.

Colm Flynn: Taboo broken. Now current & former England U21s not yet capped at senior level can be targeted by Ireland and other nations.  

G Mac an tSabhasaigh: Disappointed Grealish has chosen England but I don't want mercenaries playing for Ireland. Good luck counting the £££ Jack.

Aside from Celtic, Britain's other Europa League representatives - Tottenham and Liverpool - may also be encouraged by their opponents' weekend fortunes.

Monaco, who welcome Tottenham to Stade Louis II on Thursday, surrendered the lead three times to draw 3-3 at French Ligue 1 rivals Guingamp.

And Swiss side Sion, who are fifth in the 10-team Super League, travel to Liverpool on the back of a 1-0 home defeat against Vaduz.

Robin van Persie is hoping to return to Fenerbahce's starting XI to face Celtic in the Europa League after coming off the bench to score in the Istanbul derby at Besiktas.

But the Dutchman, who has scored in each of his last two games after appearing as a substitute, could not prevent Fenerbahce surrendering top spot to their opponents after a 3-2 derby defeat.

At the age of 27, two-time national motocross champion Adrienne Cooper gave up a kidney and her career to save the life of 10-year-old Logan Carson.

"Probably an hour after I met him, I told his mum that I would try to be his donor," American Cooper told BBC Sportshour.

"I knew I just wanted to put a part of Logan's life. I just wanted to be able to help.

"It was so much bigger than I had ever done in racing. Saving somebody's life goes unmatched."

Steven Gerrard scored for LA Galaxy in a 3-2 win over FC Dallas which sent his side top of the MLS Supporters' Shield and Western Conference.

The former Liverpool captain put his side 3-1 up as he added to goals from Giovani dos Santos and Robbie Keane.

It was the midfielder's second goal in his 10 Galaxy appearances after he scored on his debut in July.

"I haven't had a problem with my confidence. I think the goal was good for the team," said Gerrard, 35.

Helen Davies: With Wales' ever growing injury list, who do you think will be called up to the squad and why?

Wales have a magnificent set of senior players but because of the population size and the small number of professional teams (only four), there is a lack of strength in depth. So there aren't too many options out there for Warren Gatland.

If fit, one or both of Eli Walker and Gareth Anscombe will come in - although there are doubts over Walker especially - while Rhys Patchell and James Hook are also contenders. 

Hook is clearly not part of Gatland's long-term plans, but he is experienced and can cover four positions in the backline. Jordan Williams and Tom Prydie are options to replace wing Hallam Amos.

It is one of football management's biggest cliches. When a team struggles to get a result against opponents who've had a man sent off, the gaffer will say 'it's always tougher to play against 10 men'.

But is it? We can answer finally answer that burning question.

Radio 4 has employed a statistician to check if it's actually true.

What he discovers is rather interesting. You can listen to the clip here.

Leicestershire have completed a deal to sign Mark Pettini from Essex on a three-year-deal.

The 32-year-old has scored 7,926 first-class runs at an average of 36.73, including 46 fifties and 12 centuries.    

Beep Beep: A national team coach has to be pretty desperate to consider calling up a guy with 2-3 good games for Villa under his belt.

George Swindale: Jack Grealish has made a mistake; he'd get loads of caps for ROI. Personally can't ever see him being a big player for England.

Stuart McCall: ROI been stealing players from NI for years. Karma.

Even the Rotherham United statement admits this is surprising news. Steve Evans often boasted a fantastic working relationship with chairman Tony Stewart and recently stated he’d been told he had a job for life.

Persistent rumours linking Evans with the Peterborough job could be behind this parting of ways. Either way, it’s a stunning day for Rotherham fans and the Scot will be a tough act to follow. 

The former Leeds manager Neil Redfearn attended the Millers’ recent 2-1 victory over Cardiff City and he’s one of the favourites to take over at the New York Stadium.

The draw has been made for the quarter-finals of the Scottish League Cup and the ties are as follows...

Hibernian v Dundee Utd

Morton v St Johnstone

Inverness CT v Ross County

Hearts v Celtic  

The games will be played on October 27 & 28

Christopher Morris: Why does the ‘no.8’ not have a position like flanker, etc?

The number eight is called that because he or she is the eighth person in the scrum. The flankers are on the "flank" of the scrum... I can't really explain that much better I'm afraid.

David B: Why on earth are the groups drawn years in advance? It's like Wimbledon doing seedings now for 2017.

It seems crazy, doesn't it, because the world rankings now are completely different to what they were when the draw was made in 2012. Back then, Wales were outside the top eight - which is why they were drawn in with Australia and England - and now they have moved up to second.

The explanation is that there is a huge amount of planning and logistics that need to take place - sorting stadiums, schedules, selling tickets - but World Rugby have admitted that they will try to make the draw later when it comes to the 2019 tournament in Japan. 

Earlier, we asked you to put your questions on the Rugby World Cup to BBC Radio 5 live rugby reporter Chris Jones. Here are some of the best...
