1.10; 4.20* Show Jumping from Park Farm, Northwood: The Lancia Championships
This event is divided into two classes: the first against the clock, the second, two rounds and a jump-off. Not surprisingly, all the leading British riders will be present because the total prize money is £4,000 plus a brand-new car to the overall champion. Commentator RAYMOND BROOKS-WARD

The Third Test from Melbourne
Highlights of the second day's play which ended just a few hours ago.
2.25* International Rugby Union: France v England from Parc des Princes, Paris
In this match last year, with their only win of the season, England denied France the International Championship. French captain Jean-Pierre Rives will lead a team committed to 15-man rugby, which will extend to the utmost Bill Beaumont's efforts to lead his team to another victory.
Commentators BILL MCLAREN, GARETH EDWARDS
and at 4.0* Ireland v Scotland from Lansdowne Road, Dublin
Ireland, in their first home match since their successful tour of Australia, lost to Scotland last in 1977. In fact, that was Scotland's last victory in the Championship, and after two seasons as wooden spoonists, they must produce a new brand and formula of rugby if they are to improve their record.
