1.35 Rugby Union: Wales v Tonga
Live coverage from the St Helen's Ground, Swansea (kickoff 2pm). Wales have won all three of their internationals against the Tongans and an extension of that record will buoy up the team as they warm up for their next international, where they face New Zealand. Welsh coach Kevin Bowring will be looking to Allan Bateman, Scott Gibbs, Neil Jenkins and Scott Quinnell, all key performers from the Lions tour. Commentary by Huw Llywelyn Davies and JJ Williams.

The men's final at the National championships in Telford. Reigning title-holder Tim Henman is favoured to retain his title in the likely absence of Greg Rusedski, who should be competing in Hanover. Commentary by John Barrett and Mark Cox.

The pick of the action from Elland Road, Leeds, of the Third and final Test match between Great Britain and Australia. The Australians start as strong favourites, but British coach Andy Goodway can call upon the experience of captain Andy Farrell, winger Jason Robinson and centre Paul Newlove.
