David Ord and Ben Linfoot are the men behind the microphones this week and they preview a fascinating weekend of action.

Finally Oli Bell talks all about Riding A Dream, the much-anticipated documentary which premieres on ITV on Saturday immediately after the Rugby World Cup final.

We are joined by a host of former England players, World Cup winners and finalists for our Rugby World Cup Final preview as England and South Africa go head to head.
It is a repeat of the 2007 Paris final and so our rugby expert Gareth Jones and host Tom Carnduff speak with winger Mark Cueto and hooker George Chuter who both played in England's last World Cup final appearance.
Chuter explains exactly what the players will be going through in their preparations this week and how to handle the pressure of the final.
Cueto highlights fellow winger Jonny May as a potential match winner on Saturday, and 2003 World Cup winner and now Sale coach Dorian West explains how South Africa Faf de Klerk has developed at Sale into the world best scrum half.
We also debate the key battles and where the match will be won and lost, as well as our best bet for the final in Japan.

Well it's been a quiet weekend in the Premier League. There was only numerous questionable VAR decisions, the Arsenal captain swearing at his own fans, Liverpool finding a way to keep winning, Chelsea's goal-scoring exploits and a hat-trick for Christian Pulisic, that's alongside a potential Manchester United revival! Oh, and did we mention that someone won a game of football 9-0? Tom Carnduff, Paul Higham and George Pitts dissect all the major talking points.

We look at the events from Old Trafford including the controversial opener and if VAR should have intervened for a potential foul in the build-up. Tottenham continue to struggle as they had to strike late to draw at home to a winless Watford side. Marco Silva's Everton showed no signs of pressure as they comfortably dispatched of West Ham at Goodison Park, but was that more down to a poor Hammers showing? We talk about all that and much more...
