On Saturday, Wales and Portugal will meet for the second time in rugby history. Warren Gatland's side will have no problem swatting away the European outfit in Nice, while a surprise bonus-point victory would keep their undefeated World Cup winning streak alive. However, Wales' 2023 class will have to imitate the 1994 team that beat Portugal 102-11 in Lisbon that year. Unlike Gatland's new crop, Wales' side from almost three decades ago didn't even qualify for the 1995 World Cup automatically.

Fitzy, 46, and Wippa, 43, both Australian radio hosts, have gone viral on TikTok after revealing what really happens when you click on the "I'm not a robot" box while browsing on the internet. The 'I'm not a robot' checkbox is labeled a CAPTCHA, which stands for 'Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart.'

It's usually shortened to four words by the football lexicon. "And Smith must score...' the commentary of Peter Jones seconds before Manchester United goalkeeper Gary Bailey saved Gordon Smith late in extra time to force a replay.' Those four words were used as shorthand when Brighton barely won the Cup and became the name of a fanzine as the club fell into disarray, and were later modified for Smith's autobiography. Ex teammate Gary Stevens remarks, 'Gordon's still dined out on it.' It's made him a fortune.' Nevertheless, the 1983 Cup final was also missing so much more. Helicopter rides, cream-colored shoes, unhavened participants in headbands and High Court appearances. A delectable Wembley goal, an early flush of Captain Marvel, record-breaking, and leg breakers.

A boyfriend who belittled his high-flying mother after he became jealous of her career's success is facing a domestic assault conviction. Jonathan Maybury, 38, (right), used a variety of coerding and controlling behaviours against Jaguar Land Rover engineer Stephanie Andrews, 33, (left) after they first met when working at the company's Halewood plant, Liverpool. After a three-day trial at Warrington Magistrates' Court, Maybury, a Cheshire firm, was found guilty of coercion behaviour and faces up to five years in jail. Maybury smuggishly called Ms Andrews "the f***ing graduate," robbed her of money, threatened to murder her puppy, and used a Ring security camera to spy on her. After meeting at work and then moving in together after five months (inset their house), the couple married in 2014.

Fans of England's controversial booze ban just 48 hours before the World Cup takes place. After coming under pressure from the Qatari royal family, only a few hundred England supporters were in Doha when FIFA announced that alcohol would not be sold on stadium concourses. Budweiser was also embarrassment after being identified as one of the tournament's sponsors, and it had been granted monopoly to sell beer at the stadiums. It was intended to sell alcoholic beer within each of the eight stadiums three hours before and one hour after each game.

After midnight, Kathryn McAdams (pictured), 38, was stopped on the A41 in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, when police were alerted by a member of the public concerned about her driving. McAdams, a mother of three children, blew 116 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, the legal limit being 35 millilitres. The four children she was looking after were all under the age of ten and who cannot be identified for legal reasons. McAdams of Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, was sentenced to jail for alcohol driving and being inebriated as a child, but she was given eight weeks suspended for a year after citing postnatal depression that resulted from the birth of one of her own children at Chester magistrates.

The new Prince of Wales and Princess of Wales, both 40, stepped out of a black Range Rover near the estate's historic Norwich Gates, where they were welcomed by huge crowds who had waited behind metal fences to see the couple. Gemma Schultz, a well-wisher, spoke to William after she noticed her baby wearing a top with Paddington on it, and wondered about the bear's fame after the queen's skit with the marmalade sandwich-loving character for her Platinum Jubilee Celebrations in June. The Prince chuckled, 'I was saying, I think Paddington might have knocked the Corgi off the top spot now,' he said. The Corgis will not do well with that.' Following the discussion, Gemma told BBC News that William and Kate were 'good and honest people,' adding: "We talked to William and Kate, how nice they were... all the things they do for others are just so nice.'

The queen is now pictured in Westminster Hall as she is in state, as she approaches the River Thames in London for 4.2 miles with an estimated waiting time of nine hours. After meeting in the nine-hour line, tearful mourners who were eager to see the Queen lying-in-state have exchanged numbers and promised to keep in touch. As those people waiting in line have made acquaintances with those next to them, storekeepers have been giving out biscuits and awaiting people in.

Both William and Kate, 40, were led by a dim Range Rover near Sandringham's historic Norwich Gates, where they were welcomed by huge crowds of people waiting behind metal barriers to see the couple. The couple, who stayed for almost an hour, posted two photos from their walkabout to their Instagram account shortly after their visit, with the simple caption: 'Thanks to everyone in Sandringham today.' As they read the messages on the sea of floral tributes that have been left behind at the royal residence's gates, William and Kate look deeply into thought in the photos.

Sophie, 57, and her husband Prince Edward, 58, were in Manchester to view the floral tributes in St Ann's Square and greet public figures. They will also view the city's central library's civic book of condolence and light a candle in honor of the Queen at Manchester Cathedral. Yesterday evening, King Charles III returned to his Highgrove home in Gloucestershire. Today, he will have a private day of reflection and is not expected to attend any formal functions.

In their 50-hour wait to see the Queen, mourners have shared cheery camaraderie, egg sandwiches, and biscuits, as crowds gathered around the night to pay their final respects to the late monarch. During the long line to visit the Queen's coffin inside the Palace of Westminster, tens of thousands of mourners have made friends and shared food. Well-wishers made their way along the river Thames bank in London, with some participating in song. The first people in the queue for the Queen's lying-in-state a te pizza provided by the Archbishop of York after camping overnight and waiting hours to be allowed entry to Westminster Hall, where the departed monarch will remain until 6.30 a.m. on Monday. They waited for 50 hours, after some people arrived early Monday in order to secure a seat in the queue. They were chatting with their neighbors, making friends, serving squashed egg sandwiches and cups of tepid tea. The line to enter the Palace of Westminster had grown almost three miles by 1.30 a.m. this morning, as officials expected that some 400,000 people would view the coffin over the coming days.

The new action-thriller film "Bullet Train" is on its press tour, and although most people are obsessing about Brad Pitt's costumes, we can't avoid thinking about one particular actor from the ensemble cast. Aaron Taylor-Johnson plays Tangerine alongside Pitt, Sandra Bullock, Bad Bunny, and Joey King. If you're thinking you've seen him before, but you can't remember where you've been to, take a look back to your teen years. In "Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging," where Taylor-Johnson stole the hearts of thousands of people, any Brit who grew up in the noughties will instantly recognize him as Robbie Jennings. Despite the 32-year-old's impressive resume of acting roles, including stinting in "Kick-Ass" and Marvel's "Avengers: Age of Ultron," it was his 2008 appearance that earned him heart-throb status.
