England takes on New Zealand in the final of the Women's Rugby World Cup on Saturday. It's an event players and fans alike are hotly anticipating, but for Jean Kim it's too painful to watch. When Jean says the sport of rugby saved her life, she means it, which makes it all the more difficult for her now she’s banned from playing.

How to swim the English Channel four times, non stop Chloe McCardel is attempting to do something no one has ever done, or even tried! She will swim across the English Channel to France....And then back again and then back again and then back again... Without stopping! The Australian swimmer explains that previously, when completing her triple crossing, she suffered from fatigue induced hallucinations.

Mayweather v McGregor: Fine fighting fayre or farce? We preview the 'big fight' by profiling both fighters and ask why so many people are interested in a sporting event many feel a farce. We look at the way the fight has been marketed and whether it has been done so without consideration of the consequences.

Clipper Comes Home… Eventually: We are on board as the Clipper Race leave Liverpool.. It’ll be the best part of a year before the professional and amateur crew members are back in the city at the finish line. Robin Knox Johnston explains the draw of the race
