00:00 Greetings from the LNER Stadium here in York. Over my shoulder it's the England Rugby Union team
00:06 holding an open training session here for 8,000 fans from the north of England. They're from
00:11 Yorkshire, from local rugby union clubs like Clegg Heaton. They've come down to see their
00:15 heroes in action. What a sight we've got for you there today. Absolutely fantastic occasion. We're
00:22 going to also have a look inside the Sports Weekend supplement now as well. We're going to have news
00:26 from this rugby union training camp, a bit of colour as well in some interviews. Plus we've got
00:30 South Yorkshire divers to build up to in the world of football. Huddersfield against Leeds United and
00:35 Rosling United against Sheffield Wednesday. Cricket wise, Chris Waters has spoken to Darren Goff
00:40 on Johnny Bairstow who is approaching his 100th test for England. Rugby league wise, James O'Brien
00:46 brings you all the news from three big games this weekend. Leeds Rhinos, Hull KR and Hull FC
00:51 all in action. And we've also got a big interview with Cali Thackeray, a Hull and Sheheryas runner
00:56 who's just been selected for the Olympic marathon here in Paris, in Paris later this summer.
01:01 We'll also have news from the worlds of racing, netball, basketball and golf and ice hockey as
01:08 well. Have a fantastic sporting weekend and just if you can there, a bit of England in training.
01:14 End of that game with Ireland, a week on Saturday at Stiffen.
