:00:18. > :00:21.Good evening. You are tuned into Newsround with Leah and Ricky.
:00:21. > :00:26.have everything from World Cups to psychic sheep on the show. That is
:00:26. > :00:32.not all. Find out how it feels when your dad becomes a World Champion.
:00:32. > :00:36.I'm like yes, he won! You won a gold medal!
:00:36. > :00:41.Plus, David Walliams gets some extra support as he tries to swim
:00:41. > :00:51.the length of the River Thames. before all of that, it is time for
:00:51. > :00:53.
:00:53. > :01:01.bone-crunching tackles, thumping collisions and dazzling skills -
:01:01. > :01:03.the Rugby World Cup has kicked off. Millions of people will be going
:01:03. > :01:06.rugby crazy. Get ready for the haka, a
:01:06. > :01:12.traditional war dance and New Zealand have been using it to
:01:12. > :01:17.terrify their opponents for years. It did the job today. The All
:01:17. > :01:27.Blacks thumping Tonga 41-10. They are favourites to win the whole
:01:27. > :01:28.
:01:28. > :01:32.thing but they haven't lifted the tro -- trophy for 24 years. England
:01:32. > :01:41.won it in 2003. Made it to the final in 2007, not world-class so
:01:41. > :01:47.far this season, but should still make the semis. Wales have two very
:01:47. > :01:51.tough group matches. They could pull off a big surprise. Scotland
:01:52. > :01:56.will be desperate to beat England. They have reached the quarterfinals
:01:56. > :02:00.at every World Cup. Ireland not looking good. They lost
:02:00. > :02:05.four warm-up games before the tournament and need to find some
:02:05. > :02:08.form fast. If you want to learn how to do the
:02:08. > :02:16.haka, check out our picture guide on the Newsround website. If you
:02:16. > :02:24.are not an expert on rugby, it is a good thing we caught up with
:02:25. > :02:28.Lawrence Dallaglio for his handy guide.
:02:29. > :02:33.The idea is to score tries. A try is worth five points. A try is
:02:33. > :02:43.scored when one player puts the ball down with two hands over the
:02:43. > :02:44.
:02:44. > :02:52.opposition line. After you have scored the try, you can get two
:02:52. > :02:56.more points by kicking a conversion. Wherever the try has been scored,
:02:56. > :02:59.you move backwards, put the ball down and you have a kicker who
:02:59. > :03:05.kicks the ball between the two posts and gets an extra two points
:03:05. > :03:09.so if you score a converted try, that is seven points to you. Often
:03:09. > :03:12.you will see two teams come together in a scrum which is where
:03:12. > :03:15.the eight forwards from one side collide with the eight forwards
:03:15. > :03:20.from another side. The scrum happens when the ball gets knocked
:03:20. > :03:25.forward and the put-in is given to the other team and it is a way of
:03:25. > :03:30.restarting the game. The fly-half is the guy who does a lot of
:03:30. > :03:37.kicking. He has the control. He is able to decide which way the ball
:03:37. > :03:41.is going. It is a look-out for that number 10 shirt.
:03:41. > :03:46.Of course, like with most World Cup competitions, there is often a
:03:46. > :03:51.predicting animal knocking about. You will remember Paul the Octopus
:03:51. > :03:55.from the Football World Cup. Rugby has its own psychic animal. Sonny
:03:55. > :04:02.Wool the Sheep correctly predicted New Zealand would win today's match
:04:02. > :04:06.by choosing to munch the hay under a New Zealand flag. Right. Moving
:04:06. > :04:11.on. David Walliams has passed the half-way point on his mission to
:04:11. > :04:16.swim the length of the River Thames. He is rid of that tummy bug that
:04:16. > :04:23.was making him sick. He has got a great boost from these school kids
:04:23. > :04:29.who cheered him on from the bank. He is due to reach Big Ben next
:04:29. > :04:34.week. He spoke to Radio One's Chris Moyles. There was such a lovely
:04:34. > :04:39.turn-out in Reading. I feel like I can see the end in sight. We have
:04:39. > :04:43.still 70 miles to go. I have broken the back of it now. I'm half-way.
:04:43. > :04:47.satellite is crashing towards Earth but don't panic - NASA says there
:04:47. > :04:50.is little chance of it hitting anyone. That is good to know. There
:04:50. > :04:54.are thousands of satellites circling the Earth. This one has
:04:54. > :04:59.stopped working after 20 years in space. Most of it will burn up in
:04:59. > :05:03.the atmosphere, but there is no way of knowing where the remains will
:05:03. > :05:08.land. Experts say no-one has ever been hurt by falling space junk so
:05:08. > :05:12.you probably don't need to strap on any protective headgear. If your
:05:12. > :05:16.dad had become a World Champion, you will probably be quite proud.
:05:16. > :05:21.So we thought we would get Mo Farah in. He became the first Brit ever
:05:22. > :05:30.to win gold in the 5,000 metres. When he popped in, he brought along
:05:30. > :05:35.his daughter. What is it like being the World
:05:35. > :05:40.Champion? It feels awesome to hear that. I can't quite believe it. It
:05:40. > :05:44.is amazing. I have heard a rumour when you were little you wanted to
:05:44. > :05:48.be a footballer, is that right? 100%. At school, I wanted to play
:05:48. > :05:54.football. That is all I wanted to do. If it wasn't for my PE teacher,
:05:54. > :06:03.I wouldn't be in the sport. I'm excited about having the Olympics
:06:03. > :06:08.on our doorsteps. I have to stay injury-free and keep training hard.
:06:08. > :06:14.What does it take to be a World Champion? Is it hard work? It is
:06:15. > :06:19.hard work. Being away from my family, my daughter and you have to
:06:20. > :06:26.keep training and keep working hard. Your dad is World Champion. How
:06:26. > :06:30.does that feel? He is cool. He is cool? He even wears his medals to
:06:30. > :06:34.the dinner table! My mum's been bugging every night for three
:06:34. > :06:37.nights and it is getting annoying so much. Daddy is the World
:06:37. > :06:42.Champion. You know what, he is the World Champion! What is it like
:06:42. > :06:48.when he has to go away from home. Do you miss him? I say when are we
:06:48. > :06:54.going to see daddy. When he comes back with the gold... Yes, he won
:06:54. > :06:58.one! You won a gold medal. Wooh! She is more excited than you are.
:06:58. > :07:02.She saulz excited! Just quickly, I like cycling and I like sailing but
:07:02. > :07:07.it is hard to do the two together. A teenager from Suffolk has helped
:07:07. > :07:12.design a sailing bike. Ned wanted his two wheels to go a bit faster
:07:12. > :07:16.so he stuck a mast on his bike. A company has been so impressed they
