In the next hour we have the scotla nd in the next hour we have the scotland u20s facing the english u205. Scotland u20s facing the english u20s. Their fixtures scotland u20s facing the english u20s. Theirfixtures mirrored the mensjust as u20s. Theirfixtures mirrored the mens just as the womens six nations championship does as well. We are focusing on the under 20 set up we are focusing on the under 20 set up later in the programme. Its been a couple of weeks since we had our last round of fixtures in the senior six nations championship. Lets remind ourselves where we are at in that. Going for the corner, harris cant there, try for a wales. Anthony watson for his second. Sam simmonds again. Here he comes. And ireland have stolen the game. Through the gap under the posts.

Inside pass, a second try forjonny may. England have won. It has been quite a start to the six nations championship. Ive got some company here at myreside head of the u20 company here at myreside head of the u20s match this evening. The head of the Scottish Academy and age grades, former scotland centre, and paul grayson, former england fly half. Your boys are out there warming up. We will get onto him in a moment ahead of this under 20 match. The calcutta cup, you had mixed fortunes in it but who could forget 1990 . What does this match mean to you between scotland and england . What does this match mean to you between scotland and england . M goes back to 1989, the year before the calcutta cup, id no idea the rivalry between england and scotland and we drew, the last time scotland had a result there. We drew 12 12 andi had a result there. We drew 12 12 and i rememberjohn jeffrey outsprinted chris to score in the corner so outsprinted chris to score in the corner so it is massive. A bit different to new zealand and australia but there is the edge and the boys will have been training very ha rd the boys will have been training very hard this week with a bit more in it. The rivalry is right up there, is the greatest rivalry, paul . You had five calcutta cup experiences and won all of them. Five very good ones, i have a scottish grandmother who refused to speak to us for that weekend of the year so i was or speak to us for that weekend of the year sd i was or was speak to us for that weekend of the year so i was or was happy to call her after i had played having won those five. Its a special encounter, the oldest encounter, interesting you touched on my boy james on the bench tonight, i think hes got no chance of warming up, it is freezing. It is perishing, coming down off the hills, there is snow up there. Whatever it says on the weather forecast, it is always five or6 weather forecast, it is always five or 6 degrees colder in edinburgh. Into the details, eddiejones always says something about the opposition. Finn russell, he says is absolutely world class, finn russell, he says is absolutely world class, they must watch out for him. Hasnt been the greatest championship for finn russell so far by his own high standards, would you say . He makes scotland tick, hes a world class say . He makes scotland tick, hes a world class player when hes on form and he is a confidence player as well. Looking at the best moments for scotland over the last few years he has been at the centre of it, and they will test the English Defence with the way they look at playing with the way they look at playing with speed and tempo. England have a power based game, there line speed is unbelievable so they will have to work out whether to go over them all around them. Talking about line speed and defence, Gregor Townsend has said that nigel 0wens needs to have a look at that because they might be skirting the danger, the english men, and possibly offsides. Is that mind games from Gregor Townsend . Definitely. Listen, eddie has been very polite this week, he hasnt called anybody out and been very comes entry about the scots, and compared their game plan to new zealands, albeit potentially new zealands, albeit potentially new zealand light. But as a coach Gregor Townsend is growing. Hes the most inexperienced of the bunch and hes trying it on for size that little bit, withjustification. If englands macro art of side half the time they are doing theirjob properly. England have talked about being defensively strong for a long time and not quite delivered yet. We will see how they go tomorrow. Stay with us. Talking about the calcutta cup, what a trophy it is, its not just the six nations teams are playing weve got the triple crown of course, a nice piece of silverware. Tonight in marseille france and italy are playing for the Giuseppe Garibaldi cup, but there is nothing but the history of the calcutta cup. Asjohn watson explains. Here we are in the heart of the world would museum at twickenham this is what its all about, those historic matches between scotland and england, the calcutta cup. Why is it called the calcutta cup . Phil mcgown is the curator of the world of rugby museum. How is it got its association with calcutta . It is called the calcutta cup on account it was made in calcutta by indian silversmiths in 1877, it is made of 277 silver rupees, the money in the bank account of the calcutta football clu b bank account of the Calcutta Football Club when they disbanded. The club wanted to make a lasting contribution to the sport so they have the coins melted down and created this trophy with the metal. It seems peculiar that matches between england and scotland would between england and scotland would be contested for a trophy made in calcutta. Why was that trophy made there and then given to the rfu in england . Rugby travelled around the world and established itself in ports of the British Empire at that time. Calcutta being one of the main ones. Rugby club was founded, the Calcutta Football Club, in 1873. And then when the club closed the members left and what elsewhere, military and merchants that may have been involved. They wanted to do something with the money left in their account so thats why they made the trophy and presented it to the rfu. When was the first proper official match between england and scotla nd official match between england and scotland win this trophy was contested . Scotland win this trophy was contested . 1871. The first time they contested . 1871. The first time they contested for that trophy was 1878 and finished a draw, so nobody won the first game but england won the following year and became the first recipients. As we know scotland wins over england then happen all that often because england have won the calcutta cup more than scotland. England have the better record, scotla nd england have the better record, scotland have work to do to catch up but i wouldnt back against them. We will find out how they get on this weekend. Thank you forjoining us. We will wait to see who will get their hands on this trophy this weekend. John watson with a bit of the history of that trophy, gentlemen. England have held it aloft a times ina england have held it aloft a times in a row. Its going to be a replica. John in a row. Its going to be a replica. Jotheffrey in a row. Its going to be a replica. John jeffrey and Dean Richards got themselves in trouble in 88 for playing football with it down Princes Street in edinburgh. It isa down Princes Street in edinburgh. It is a lovely thing, that trophy, in edinburgh. It is and i wouldnt want them doing it again on saturday if they can get a result, scotland and massive underdogs, and that is where we operate best, the first game against wales in the six nations, maybe we got a bit carried away and i think eddie is trying to do that a little bit now by saying how good scotla nd little bit now by saying how good scotland are. When scotland are the underdogs they really pull out all the stops. The talking is almost over. Your final word the stops. The talking is almost over. Yourfinal word on this match tomorrow, paul. England come here confident, eddie jones has been open about it saying their preparation has been fantastic, basically telling scotland they will play well and scotland have to do something brilliant to beat them. |j and scotland have to do something brilliant to beat them. I know you have to get off to look after your players. Good luck and i hope it goes well, good to speak to you. It is time we had a look at the six nations table as it stands to remind ourselves of where we are at. Ireland are on top on points difference above the english, both have one bonus point, ireland had a thumping victory against the italians. Looking ahead to the match in dublin tomorrow against the welsh, ireland have some big players out, no tie furlong, iain henderson, henderson, we knew he was already out, and the players coming in to replace those three lions have 11 caps between them only. Yes and its fantastic for them to get their opportunities. Its another blow and wales have dan biggar, leigh halfpenny. And Liam Williams coming in as well. Three out for ireland three and four wales. It was sort of in the balance anyway and you get a sense the irish are slightly nervous about this one, and wales, not that they have nothing to lose but there has been no pressure on them because of the liturgy of injuries they have had. Because of where they are at with wales team defeated by the english last time out, dan biggar says this is their cup final and strangely now was the same phrase andy farrell, who is now the Ireland Defence coach, who said this is our cup final as well. It is clear, wales have not lost to england, no grand slam on offer to them, im absolutely convinced ireland bosma goal will be to win the grand slam this time around and they are not worried about bonus points, or taking the championship by points difference. They want to get a twickenham without any losses. Difference. They want to get a twickenham without any lossesm difference. They want to get a twickenham without any losses. It is dangerous getting too far ahead of yourself in this championship but things are pointing towards an england ireland deciderfor the grand slam in the final weekend. Wales will want to say no way. In tomorrow plasma game, genuinely under pressure, Johnny Sexton has already dug them out of one hole and he will have his work cut out tomorrow. He should be ok, there was an injury scare. Warren gatland said we are so aware of an injury scare. Warren gatland said we are so aware of irelands attack and that is what we have two new gate. Will ireland change tactics and go back to a more aerial approach . They have been kicking the ball a bit less and they were stag na nt ball a bit less and they were stagnant against france in the opener. They were easy pickings. Defensively opener. They were easy pickings. Defe nsively wales opener. They were easy pickings. Defensively wales will be pumped up tomorrow, sean edwards in the press absolutely chest puffed out. Fantastic game in store. Should be a cracking couple of games tomorrow. Frans against italy tonight in marseille. Paul and i will be back later in the programme, still plenty coming up on six nations sportsday and also round 3 in the womens championship as well. England are unbeaten in that too and they play a little bit later. They are over the road in glasgow. And as we look forward to seeing the u20s here later this evening we will get a glimpse of the next six nations stars due of the england production line. Wiggo behind the scenes and also seek the sum of paul, james, as well and he is out here warming up, trying to warm up, as you say, behind us. That is all to come on six nations sports davies evening. It isa six nations sports davies evening. It is a very busy day elsewhere, Winter Olympics and all that, back to the bbc sports centre. John watson is there, no doubt a lot warmer than we are. It is indeed, i have the comfort of the sofa in the in salford this evening. Back to 0lly foster shortly. Plenty going on in the Winter Olympics, nearing its conclusion, two days of competition remaining. Sadly britains womens curlers will not get the chance to contest a gold medal as they lost todays semi final to sweden. Having won a bronze in sochi four years ago, thats the best they can hope for now in pyeongchang. As david 0rnstein reports. 24 2a hours after britains male curlers were knocked out of these winter games, its also bitter disappointment for the women having lost in the semifinal to sweden. There were beaten by the swedes in the group stage and it was a repeat here today as sweden took control on, and although early on, and although britain fought back to level at the Halfway Point the asserted fought back to level at the Halfway Point the asserted their point the swedes asserted their authority in the seventh end and never looked back, finishing 10 5 winners. Britain can still match the performance of sochi four years ago by winning bronze when they play in the third place play off tomorrow, and that would make it britains most successful ever winter 0lympics, but they came for the gold or silver and they will leave without it, so it is heartbreak for them. We gave it our all to night and the swedish girls were on fire. Myself, i missed a couple of key draws and you cant afford to do that. Of course, absolutely gutted, i guess we have trained hard for the last three or four years to be in that position and unfortunately today we were just outplayed. But we still have a medal to play for so of course we will give it our all tomorrow. They will indeed and this is how japan made their way into the play off for the bronze medal narrowly losing to south korea in the other semifinal and what a finish it was, tied after ten ends, it went into an 11th and came down to the final stone with the hosts claiming a dramatic victory much to the delight of the crowd. South korea and sweden into the final. Disappointed for Great Britain. 0ne one man who canjoin us and tell others about where it went wrong for the curvers is David Murdoch who won silver in sochi four years ago. The curlers. They were always playing catch up. The curlers. They were always playing catchup. It was tough for the girls, they didnt start with the girls, they didnt start with the last stone advantage, huge thing in curling, they didnt have the last one at the end. Sweden went ahead and Great Britain never really got in front. They never got a chance to get ahead of the swedes, because the swedes were not missing anything it resulted in the result going for them. How hard would it be for them to regroup now . They have a chance to win a bronze medal as they did in sochi four years ago. That is a tough ask, ive lost a semifinal like that and you have to play 2a hours later for the bronze like that and you have to play 2a hours laterfor the bronze medal and its not the medal you want because you had your eyes set on gold. They just need to regroup, refocus on getting that medal. Its such an important thing to get something for the hard work and dedication they have put in. It is a big day for them. You know all about that having a silver medal yourself, which is very special from the winter 0lympics. Very special from the Winter Olympics. I had three olympics even trying to get that silver medal and i know how hard it is because all these countries are putting so much work and time into it, just like we do, and elite sport is tough and thatis do, and elite sport is tough and that is what we must remember. Literally sometimes it is just millimetres in all of these shots. |j suppose the koreans have impressed many people because they are not historically a curling nation but theyve done very well. Extremely impressed with what career have done, they came from nowhere, korea andjapan, china, done, they came from nowhere, korea and japan, china, there are quite new nations to curling so they have put in so much time and investment and they are getting their return from this. They have learned a lot of strategy, lots of the technical abilities, and they are starting to show off now. Fascinating insight, david, thank you forjoining us. We have an incredible form is to tell you about from pyeongchang today, that of the 15 year old russian figure skater Alina Zagitova who won the first gold for olympic athletes from russia. After a world record in her Short Programme she produced an impeccable routine in the free dance. In doing so, beating training partner and reigning World ChampionYevgenia Medvedeva to silver. You can see how disappointed she was not to get gold. She was the favourite going into it but zagitova earns her own slice of olympic history at just 15 years old. Some other lines today. Germanys men shocked the reigning champions canada to reach the ice hockey final. They will play the 0ar team in the gold medal match after they beat the czech republic. Another russian athlete has tested positive for a banned substance at the games. The Russian Bobsleigh Federation confirmed nadezhda sergeeva, who finished 12th in the two woman bob, is under investigation. She is one of 168 russian athletes allowed to compete as neutrals, despite the countrys ban. The man who exposed the russian doping scandal has given his First International broadcast interview to the bbc. Evidence from whistle blower dr Gregory Rodchenkov got russia banned from the olympics and the fallout from the testimony forced him into hiding and in fear of his life. Now living in the united states, we interviewed dr rodchenkov from a secret location where he said if he hadnt fled russia hed now be dead. This exclusive interview is by our sports editor, dan roan. Im especially sorry that i contributed to and wrongly used all of my knowledge and experience against clean athletes in the whole world and thats why im sitting here telling you the truth about what happened at that time. Does british port have a problem with cheating, do you think . British sport. Honestly, yes. I have several extremely suspicious cases in british sport. This is the most important moment in the history of the International Olympic committee and it should show how they are consistent in the fight against doping. You know that russia rejects any charges. They say that i am a liar, and if flag will be allowed to appear it will be the worst decision. 0lympics could die. It isa it is a compelling interview and you can hear more across bbc news later and via the bbc website. The first major piece of silverware of the football season will be contested on sunday as arsenal and Manchester City meet in the League Cup Final at wembley. For the former, the quadruple remained on this season until they were dumped out of the fa cup this week by wigan. Pep guardiola hoping that wont dent their momentum as they look to secure their first piece of silverware this season. I think the final belongs especially to the players, how brave you are, 0k, how much courage you play these kinds of games with. Id like to see my team like we were, like we saw all the season. Not that the final has to be something different, its just a game in front of 80,000 people in a magnificent stadium in london. So it is good tojust people in a magnificent stadium in london. So it is good to just be who we are. That match to come on sunday. You are up to date with all the rest of the sport news this evening lets now return to edinburgh were 0lly foster is looking ahead to another exciting six nations weekend. Thanks very much indeed. Is going to bea thanks very much indeed. Is going to be a busy weekend. We are here at myreside, a stadium to the south of murrayfield, where we have scotland against england tomorrow in the six nations. The u20s kicks off in the next hour and also im going to be hit by a ball any second, they are practising some up and unders, these fixtures mirror the senior six nations and so too the womens, they kick off in the next five or ten minutes at this costume stadium in glasgow, scotland women against england women. Englands women going really well. They are unbeaten having beaten the italians and the welsh. Scotstown. Five changes to the starting 15 for england, also three positional changes, sarah hunter, the captain, injured, ellie caledon scorer of the great try against the welsh, switches to full back, so a few changes for england, and we will see if they are too strong for the scottish women. This is how the womens six nations looks, england and france leading the way with a couple of wins each, and going pretty well for england, and going pretty well for england, and the french there, they kick off at 7 05pm at the scotstoun stadium, scotland against italy tomorrow and ireland against wales on sunday. This is a development ford of these players out here, you can see the scottish players warming up over there. We were chatting earlier to sean who deals with the age groups and academy for scotland and steve bates is looking after the england setup over there. A pathway to the seniors that has worked for the england team, and we went behind the scenes with our correspondentjoe wilson earlier this week. This is the production line. This is the finishing school. England u20s where youngsters can leave their clu bs where youngsters can leave their clubs and express themselves. Its interesting when you come here with the u20s boys because its a new group, a new sort of young bunch of lads and everyone is here to play and impress. It can create a nice brand of rugby when you get it right and play off each other like that. In the past decade englands u20s have won their six nations six times. U20s rugby is a competition in its own right. But if eddiejones needs a new recruit from his senior squad, the idea is he canjust look here. Gabriel has developed a reputation as one of the most exciting winners in the world through his performances with england u20s and this week it was called into englands senior squad to train. Is a frustrating awe inspiring when one of your guys is nicked and has to go to the senior squad . Very, very much inspiring, thats what we are about. We wa nt inspiring, thats what we are about. We want them to experience that level, if they are good enough to stay there that is brilliant. Rugby unions changes have been rapid. Paul grayson played for england at the start of the professional era. Penalty kick by no 10, paul grayson. His schaars is part of the under 20 squad preparing for the demands of the modern game. When he used to play the centres were 13 stone and now they are 13 and a half stone. Play the centres were 13 stone and now they are 13 and a half stonem is different but it is normal for the player of my age, thats what it is, just take it how it comes. You can bench press the old man now . Out bench press. Just about, he still got that dad strength. Youre taller than him . He wont admit it. U20 taller than him . He wont admit it. U20s is supposed to be a pathway from skills to the structure of the senior game and of course that means muscle, but all Academy Players are expected to do some form of education too. Rugby careers can be lucrative, but they can be short. Joe wilson, bbc news, newcastle. Asked the work being done at u20s level for england. Paul grayson is back with me now. You would want to make sure they are getting that right because your sonjames is in the thick of it warming up behind us. The thick of it warming up behind us. How good is the england under 20 setup and that Development Pathway . I think that after some years of the element it is hitting its straps now, there are some replays involved with the full england squad. Nick is already in there, Gabriel Ibitoye who played on the wing two weeks ago against wales. The pathway is clear and obvious m a are lucky to have such a pool of talent. They have blooded 20 new players in this championship in three matches, amazing. And mixed the teams again tonight, the boys are desperate to play for the country but under dean ryans watchful eye, the systems they have in place, there is no excuse for these lads not to excel. All, many thanks for your thoughts to night about this, the u20s set up and obviously we look ahead to the calcutta cup clash. Brilliant matches coming up too, all of the home nations clashes, ireland against wales and on the bbc we are in edinburgh with scotland against england. Have a fantastic weekend whatever sport you are watching but if you are a rugby fan that is guaranteed. From all of us on this six nations sportsday, good night. Good evening. Very little in the way of rain to talk about at all through this weekend, it will be a dry one but a cold one if you havent already heard. We should get decent spells of sunshine but please factor in the strength of the wind and direction of the wind coming from a cold east, all the way from siberia. There will be more cloud to night across north sea coasts and again through northern ireland, sandwiched in between the two, clearer slots, so the temperatures will fall away, the blue tones denote a frost, so hard frost first thing on saturday morning, beautiful start for many of us, that strong wind will continue to strengthen and make it feel quite cold, particularly on the exposed coasts, highest values for 7 degrees. Almost a repeat performance of things as we go into sunday. We should see a little more in the way of sunshine through northern ireland. Cloudier in the north east of scotla nd ireland. Cloudier in the north east of scotland but generally speaking fine, dry, chilly, highs of 4 7 again. This is bbc news, im ben brown. The headlines at 7pm.
