Tough quarter-final for England
At times it has looked unlikely that England would actually make it through the group stages of the Rugby World Cup.
But Brian Ashton's patched-up side secured a win against Tonga last week to line up a quarter-final clash with old rivals Australia in Marseille, which rugby union fans will be able to watch on Saturday on ITV1. Coverage starts at 1.10pm, with KO at 2.00pm.
Saturday's other quarter-final sees New Zealand take on France to compete for a place in the semis. To see tournament favourites the All Blacks in action tune into ITV1 from 7.45pm (KO at 8.00pm).
In football, Manchester United's last Premier League win over an energetic Birmingham side determined to take advantage of their best chance to beat the Red Devils was far from convincing.
This weekend, Sir Alex Ferguson's men take on Wigan, whose manager, Chris Hutchings, will be keen to inspire his side to a historic performance against a team they have never beaten. All the action from Old Trafford is on SS1 on Saturday at 12.30pm (KO 12.45pm).
Should Everton be awarded any penalties in tonight's UEFA Cup tie against Ukrain-ians Metalist Kharkiv, it will be debatable whether Andy Johnson will step up to the spot. The striker missed two penalties in the first leg at Goodison Park. The Toffees drew 1-1 a fortnight ago and need to find the net tonight to avoid a repeat of last year's early exit.
England's one-day cricket team will hope to return to the form they showed against India for the five-match series in Sri Lanka. The hosts are without their star bowler Muttiah Muralitharan for at least the first three one-dayers against an England side captained by Paul Collingwood. The second match in the series is today, the third on Sunday and the fourth on Wednesday, with SS1's coverage starting at 9.30am on each of these days.
