Rugby World Cup quarter-finals: All you need to know A mouth-watering Rugby World Cup quarter-final schedule should provide answers to one of the sport's enduring questions. Do teams get peak performance from a bye week or from regular games? The unwelcome intrusion of typhoon Hagibis on the final weekend of pool play has created a glaring discrepancy in three of the quarter-finals. Only the clash between the unbeaten hosts and South Africa in Tokyo pits two teams to have completed their allotment of four games. Before that, Oita hosts England against Australia and France versus Wales, while three-time champions New Zealand face Ireland in Tokyo. Here are the details before we explore that question again. Saturday, October 19 3-ENGLAND V 6-AUSTRALIA in Oita 6.15pm AEDT The men in white are two from two in quarter-finals against the Wallabies. More pertinently, they've reigned supreme in their last six Test meetings and will be hard to halt unless Michael Cheika's men can conjure 80 minutes of clinical rugby. It's been too patchy in pool play. Key: Australia have a week to unearth some authority from their halves. England have that in spades and it shapes as a major point of difference. Momentum: England have a strong recent record against the Wallabies. Momentum: England have a strong recent record against the Wallabies. 1-NZ V 4-IRELAND in Tokyo 9.15pm AEDT Their only World Cup meeting was a Jonah Lomu exhibition in 1995 pool play at Ellis Park. Ireland have lost all six of the quarter-finals they've reached while the All Blacks have stumbled only once in eight visits. However, after 111 years of failing to beat New Zealand, the Irish have done it in two of their last three Tests. Key: The Irish pack at their best can be ruthless. Something special up front could deprive the star-studded Kiwi backs of quick-ball oxygen. Hoodoo gurus: Ireland have broken their losing stretch against the All Blacks. Sunday, October 20 2-WALES v 8-FRANCE in Oita 6.15pm AEDT It's typically about now Les Bleus awake from their World Cup slumber, or in-fighting. Six from eight at the quarter-finals stage compares favourably with Wales' one from four. The Welsh will still be haunted by their only knockout phase match against France, when pipped 9-8 in an Eden Park semi-final eight years ago. Key: The young French side must unlock some joie de vivre. They average less than 12 points per match against the unforgiving Welsh defence in their last nine meetings. 7-JAPAN v 5-SOUTH AFRICA in Tokyo 9.15pm AEDT What more do the Brave Blossoms have to give? After riding a national tide of sentiment to reach the last eight for the first time, they run smack into a Springboks team who won't have forgotten the humbling result in Brighton four years ago. Kenki Fukuoka against Cheslin Kolbe is an under-sized wing duel to watch. Key: The hosts hang their hat on speed and energy. Expect the gigantic Boks to try to twist the contest into a battle of muscle. Giant killers: South Africa won't fall for an ambush this time, after the miracle of Brighton. Knockout phase marked with an asterisk The English, French and All Blacks are all coming off final pool games that were cancelled by the atrocious weather. Their respective opponents all played, setting up a debate over who drew the short straws. RUGBY WORLD CUP 'I wouldn't play him': Wallabies face selection headache over Hodge There can be little conjecture over the world ranking system, with the eight top-rated teams filling out the playoff berths. Interest will continue to centre on the Japanese fairytale although they will be the biggest outsiders in any of the four games, given their comparative lack of experience and size against the thunderous Boks. Yet the seventh-ranked Brave Blossoms have defied expectations, thoroughly deserving of wins over Ireland and Scotland. It leaves them among an elite clutch of unbeaten teams alongside top-three ranked powerhouses New Zealand, Wales and England. RUGBY WORLD CUP Beale won't even make bench for quarter-final if team picked on form Japan's triumph over Scotland lowered the curtain on the pool phase in a blaze of excitement and poignancy, the match in Yokohama falling 24 hours after Hagibis had assaulted the host nation. The other contender for best game was the All Blacks' opening weekend heavyweight defeat of South Africa. Wales' win over Australia and Fiji also captured the imagination while Uruguay were the minnows who punched above their weight best. RUGBY WORLD CUP 'They're smart': Why favourites England remain wary of Wallabies However, the 2019 pool phase will be most remembered for the mother nature's destructive impact and the chaos it created for World Rugby. The governing body's decision to schedule the tournament in typhoon season stirred conjecture and its intransigent approach to dealing with affected matches was panned by many, although its safety-first approach also won admirers.
La Liga round-up: Borja Baston salvages point for Alaves at Girona. Borja Baston salvaged a point for Alaves in a 1-1 draw at Girona on Saturday but the visitors missed the chance to move up to third place in La Liga table. Victory would have seen the season's surprise package leapfrog Sevilla but they had to be content with a draw after Cristhian Stuani fired the hosts ahead after 12 minutes. Stuani's brilliant bicycle kick threatened to seal a first league win in six games for his side before Baston levelled with a close-range effort early in the second half. Valencia's patchy recent form continued as they were held to a 1-1 home draw by struggling Real Valladolid. Marcelino's side went ahead through Dani Parejo's 71st-minute strike but Ruben Alcaraz responded with a fine free-kick eight from time for the visitors to nudge them further clear of the relegation zone. Leganes secured three precious points in their own battle to beat the drop with Youssef En-Nesyri's 73rd-minute effort proving enough to see off bottom club Huesca 1-0. In the Saturday evening game, substitute Angel struck late to send Getafe up to sixth place with a 2-1 win at struggling Villarreal. Jorge Molina opened the scoring for Getafe but the home side, stranded second from bottom in the table, thought they had earned a point through Leandro Cabrera's 75th-minute own goal. But Getafe seized the points in dramatic fashion when Angel, who had only been on the field for three minutes, burst into the right side of the home box and delivered a perfect lob over goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo Predict 6 correct scores for your chance to win £250K.

Man United vs Benfica Champions League Group Stage 31.10.2017 FT - 2-0 Old Trafford Job done - well almost! It will take some sort of freakish outcome from the final two group games to deprive Manchester United of a place in the last 16 of the Champions League after recording a patchy 2-0 win over Benfica at Old Trafford. Anyone expecting a goal bonanza against a side who had offered little in Portugal two weeks ago would have been sorely disappointed. Anthony Martial had appeared to have earned his side the perfect start when winning a penalty after being brought down following a jinking run into the box but his weak spot-kick was easily pushed away by rookie keeper Mile Svilar. And indeed it was the visitors showing surprising attacking flair who almost snatched a shock lead but were thwarted thanks to a magnificent save by David de Gea from a Gonzales drive. It's really tough for Romalu Lukaku at the moment as the striker once again failed to find the target - his fifth successive start without a goal - but at least was able to record a goal-bound shot, a header just over and a one-on-one with the keeper he would normally have expected to convert. The breakthrough finally came a minute before the break when the outstanding Nemanja Matic's drive came back off a post but hit the diving Svilar on his should before bouncing back into the net, Jose Mourinho rang his final two changes after halftime with Marcus Rashford and Ander Herrera replacing Juan Mata and Martial and it was the young England striker who was brought down allowing Daley Blind to fire home the resultant penalty. Benfica was still threatening and missed a couple of opportunities of their own but in truth, the Reds always had this contest under control and the flares let off by the vociferous visiting fans did little to raise their side's spirits.
