UAE win with 5 wickets and 3 overs to spare.

Namibia were all out for 96. Ireland just struggled their way to 125 all out against the UAE in the final match of the day.

TMO says he is happy with both passes. Garces: clearly forward. [emoji23]

That looked forward.

They have to force the game but that was a mental pass.

Australia again get themselves good field position then make a balls of the lineout. No way they are turning round a 14 point deficit in 10 minutes.

Amateur hour stuff from Australia tbh, get themselves back in the game then make a series of mistakes, and can't even get a kick off right.

Ffs. That's the most one sided studio panel I've ever seen. Not even a token Aussie to provide a little balance.

Can we expect a free for all at the breakdown in the first game with Garces in charge?

Wouldn't matter if he did, prescribed or not it still breaches WADA's rules which he has acknowledged and has accepted his punishment.

Every has said he gets it on prescription in Florida to help with some mental health problems.

Putting tomorrow's programme together, including a brief report on the last meeting 18 months ago. Both squads have changed so much since then that only 2 players from that game might play tomorrow.

Got there eventually, but from a break up in the second and 4-1 up in the tie break it was harder work than it should really have been. Movement looks very good now, you can see the difference the matches of the last couple of months have made.

Andy serving for the match at 5-4 up in the 3rd...

Copil takes the tie break 8-6, Andy was 4-1 up at one point and Copil had a massive net cord go in his favour.

Both hold serve, Copil to serve at 5-6 down.

Served appallingly at 5-3, back to 5-4 now. Copil was 100/1 10 minutes ago to win the match, he is 8/1 now.

And breaks to go 3-1 up in the second.

Andy won the first set 6-3 against Copil.

19 for the Joe quiz.

Sarfaraz Ahmed sacked as Pakistan skipper, with Azhar Ali taking over as Test skipper and Babar Azam as T20 skipper.

Gavin Moynihan just hit the unluckiest shot I've seen all year, and it just cost him a BMW i8 Roadster. It's up for grabs for the first player to hit an ace on the par 3 16th at Le Golf Nacional, his tee shot pitched straight in the hole but bounced out again.

8 for Friday, city and formula wrong.

2 top class rules f**k ups on the tours this week. In the Senior LPGA Championship, Lee Ann Walker managed to amass a whopping 58 penalty strokes. She hadn't played on tour since 2008, but that's no defence to not know that you can no longer use your caddy to line up your putts. Amazingly, in her first round her partners either didn't notice or ignored it, and it was only after 6 holes of her second round that her partners mentioned to her, she had different partners for the opening two rounds. She then called in a rules official who went through the 24 holes she had played thus far, and she was given 2 shots for each transgression, which totalled 42 shots in her first round and 16 in her second. Marcel Seim had only an outside chance of keeping his tour card at the French Open, but he ended up disqualifying himself after he had mistakenly thought that preferred lies were in play. He had lifted, cleaned and placed his ball 5 times in the first 9 holes, and after being given a total of 10 penalty shots that put him 11 over thru 9 he decided to chuck it. It will now need a successful trip to Q school for him to keep his card.

8 for Thursday, gods are all Greek to me, and apparently so is anatomy.
