MEN’S RUGBY LEAGUE: Australia have made only one change to the squad that retained the Ashes in Liverpool last weekend, with captain Isaah Yeo returning from a head injury to face England at Leeds on Saturday afternoon. 

Hull KR winger Joe Burgess replaces Dom Young, who broke his foot during last week’s match, in the English squad, with Harry Newman in for Jake Wardle. Burgess made his last international appearance in 2015.

MEN’S FOOTBALL: Bayern Munich look to make it 10 league wins in a row as the Bundesliga table-toppers travel to Union Berlin on Saturday afternoon. 

Munich are five points clear at the top, 16 ahead of mid-table Berlin, and have only conceded four goals in their opening nine league matches. 

They also top the Champions League with a 100 per cent record following their midweek win at defending champions Paris Saint-Germain.

MEN’S RUGBY UNION: The Autumn internationals continue this weekend with Ireland playing Japan, England up against Fiji, Italy taking on Australia, France meeting world champions South Africa and New Zealand at Murrayfield to face Scotland on Saturday. 

The All Blacks have never lost to the Scots and only drawn two of their 32 previous clashes. Wales host Argentina in new head coach Steve Tandy’s first game on Sunday afternoon.

MEN’S BOXING: American Virgil Ortiz junior puts his 23-fight unbeaten record on the line when he faces compatriot Erickson Lubin for the WBC’s interim super welterweight title in Texas on Saturday night. 

Lubin has won 27 of his 29 bouts. The winner is likely to take on IBF welterweight world champion Jaron Ennis. 

On the undercard, former Golden Gloves winner Darius Fulghum takes on David Stevens in a non-title super-middleweight contest.
