2:48 am
it is our rugby reporter. you do begin to wonder if england are ever going to catch a break in the lead up to this rugby world cup. it has been tumultuous in the buildup to it. we had the injury to jack van portleet and the issues around 0wen farrell and the disciplinary hearings and the news that anthony watson is out of the tournament. the head coach said today thatjohnny mahey is included but that does not mean that he is into the 33 just yet. it does mean that the ode dan will get a first start. 0de dan will get a first start. valuable time for such a youngster. but again much of the conversation today did centre around 0wen farrell and how he has reacted to everything that has happened. t everything that has happened. f is one of the most resilient

2:56 am
hello there. on thursday, we had a few showers and thunderstorms towards the south coast of england, and it felt particularly humid across east anglia and south—east england — temperatures into the mid—to—high 20s. but it will feel a lot fresher here for friday — temperatures dropping down into the low 20s, but overall, i suspect arguably a more pleasant feel to the weather, given those lower levels of humidity. a fine end to the day across southwest scotland, but it's in scotland and northern ireland that we find ourselves close to a centre of low pressure. and so, over the next few hours, we'll see some showers at least working into scotland and northern ireland, maybe some longer spells of rain across the far north of scotland. temperatures starting off the day friday about 9—11 for most, but still a little on the warm side across eastern—most areas of england. for friday, the low pressure then is firmly in charge of our weather. the centre of the low drifts over into the north sea, but it is a day where we'll see sunshine and showers, but longer spells of rain certainly at times, i think, affecting northern scotland.
2:57 am
most of england and wales starting the morning on a dry and bright note with some early sunshine. however, i think we will see some showers break out as we head into the afternoon — always most frequent for wales, western areas of england, northern ireland and scotland, and parts of eastern england may well escape with a dry day. temperatures, high teens to low 20s. now we'll kind of continue that run of weather as we head into the weekend. the same area of low pressure still with us on saturday, so again, it's a day of sunshine and showers — although that said, we'll probably start off the day with some longer spells of rain pushing into wales and perhaps north—west england. elsewhere should be a dry morning, but then the showers start getting going into the afternoon, and some of them turning heavy with some thunder, as well. temperatures not really changing very much day by day, about 17—20. should feel 0k, though, in that august sunshine. probably fewer showers around generally on sunday, but still one or two, whereas for northern ireland, we're looking at a band of rain working in here, and that rain could just about make it into western scotland towards the end of sunday afternoon.
2:58 am
temperatures again about 17—20 — in any august sunshine, it should feel all right. now for monday, which is bank holiday for many, we're still looking at a few showers around, although there's a bit more of a ridge towards the west of the uk, so you might well find slightly drier and brighter conditions across wales and western areas of england. temperatures still at best into the low 20s.
