Hello and welcome to sportsday with me, katherine downes, and john watson. The headlines this evening Scotland Beat Wales for the first time in ten years it finished 29 13 in the six nations. Ireland are playing france. They top the table tonight thanks largely to the boot ofjonny sexton. And can anyone stop chelsea, as the premier League Leaders go 11 points clear at the top . Also coming up in the programme what next for Claudio Ranieri as the leicester boss goes to the Training Ground to say his goodbyes. And a year away from competition, but Lizzie Yarnold slides to a bronze medal at the skeleton World Championships. But lets start with todays six nations action, where Scotland Beat Wales 29 13 at murrayfield a win thats been a Long Time Coming for the scots. Youve got to go back to 2007 for the last time they got a six nations win over wales. And after an Opening Weekend win over ireland, scotlands good form continues despite that narrow defeat to france in round two. Lets get some reaction from murrayfield our reporter Patrick Gearey was there. You can lose yourself in edinburgh. In the city of alleys it takes just one wrong turn. So to the six nations, blown off course last time, scotland in paris. Brilliant play by the french. Wales in cardiff. He scores. 0ne further false move for either and their championship hits a dead end. So much hanging over this, for 20 minutes, so little ground given until wales set off on the open road, Liam Williams in the fast lane. Too quick to be stopped by any of scotlands backs, so they tried to catch them another way, finn russell kicking scotland closer, but Leigh Halfpenny can kick to the horizon. Consider russell trumped. For now. Scotland flew out after the break, Tommy Seymour for the line and in the city of trainspotting, try spotting, was it . It was, just, scotland ahead. They moved six points clear than wales responded, this time rhys webb asking the question, but before he reached the try line he reached touch, the answer was no try. Under the pump, scotland have cracked in the past but now the pressure powered them, fuser to timber so, delirium vern a fizzer to visser, delirium vern cotter style. The scottish victory over wales in ten years. The first scottish victory over wales in ten years. We started the championship well at home against ireland and were disappointed in france but we believe we can do something in this group. We have come today and recovered from a poor first half to build a nice score and be a good home side. We beat ireland who are good, wales who are very good as well, so we will take it in the next game, and we are a group of we work hard, we genuinely believe we can win games. There was definitely a Momentum Shift at the end of the first half. Scotland took the opportunity. We wanted to keep possession in the second half and they took the opportunity to capitalise on the possession they had. If the rhys webb try had been allowed would it have been different . We cannot look at that, it was disallowed, there were more times we should have capitalised but it is hindsight to say there we re two tries disallowed. Ultimately we fell short in the second half. That win means scotland are top of the six nations championship, albeit temporarily. Were temporarily top. Ireland came from behind to beat france 199. Came from behind to beat france 19 9. They trailed in the early stages, two penalties putting the visitors in front, but a conor murray try put the home side ahead after 30 minutes. They held a slender 7 6 lead at half time but jonny sexton was back in the side after returning from injury and scored 11 points including a drop goal. 19 9 the final score which keeps alive islands hopes of a third six nations title in four yea rs. Third six nations title in four years. It was a difficult game, we knew both teams have played two and one won and lost one and were up against a debate, so for us with the weather conditions, it was nice two weeks ago in rome, when the weather is nice we can play an expansive game and challenge teams. Tonight was about rolling up our sleeves, the rain came in and we had to make sure we exerted pressure because we knew if we stood off, the french team, we have seen them so far, they are dangerous and physical, and we had to stand up to them. England are top of the womens six nations table tonight with three wins out of three after beating italy 29 15, although ireland could overhaul them tomorrow with a convincing victory over france. The italians, who havent won in the tournament so far this year, took a Surprise Lead in the fourth minute as sofia stefan went over in the corner. But it was a good day for the english pack, who were simply too strong for their opponents. This was the third of three pretty similar tries scored by england hooker vicky fleetwood. England have a four point lead at the top of the table, as they aim to win their first six nations since 2012. That was amazing, to get 80 minutes under my belt up to coming back from injury. I cannot thank my team enough for enabling me to go over the white line. I havent done that for a long time so it was really exciting, and actually it was all down to the forwards and sticking together and working on our processes. Thats what we have been looking at all week. Really happy with that, good to have ground out a win, we were resilient til the end. There were three matches in the Aviva Premiership today. Saracens were comfortable 29 18 winners over sale sharks it was their First League Win in four matches, but they still slip to third in the table, two points behind League Leaders wasps. Exeter are up to second with a comfortable victory over newcastle, the home side restricting the visitors to very few chances in the second half. And Mikey Haywood scored two tries as northampton moved back into the top six with victory over worcester at franklins gardens. Thats the six nations rugby, now over tojohn with a round up of the Premier League. Its been another good day for chelsea, can anyone catch them . That is the big question. They are 11 points clear tonight, nick, co mforta ble points clear tonight, nick, comfortable win over swansea, paul clement, in charge of swansea, spent a long time as an assistant at chelsea but not a happy return. Not at all, 3 i chelsea but not a happy return. Not at all, 3 1 at Stamford Bridge, many would have backed a chelsea home win given their fantastic record. Fabregas gave chelsea the lead early on. On the stroke of half time llore nte on. On the stroke of half time llorente equalised for swansea. You thought how chelsea would react, they reacted in the best way really, goals from pedro and diego costa securing the win which sends ii points clear at the top of the Premier League, and i think we can start to call them champions elect. No wonder he is celebrating, he knows his team are in fine form in pursuit of the title. Lets hear from both lets hearfrom both managers. Antonio conte was particularly impressed with his sides second half performance. We showed great character to come backin we showed great character to come back in the second half, fabregas hitting the crossbar, then we scored, and we did a lot to win the game. Now it is important to continue in this way. We needed 29 points to be champions. It is important to know this for me and my players and the fans. To continue with the great focus and concentration. 0ur Confidence is not damaged by today. We have belief that we can keep going anyway and get good results. We are going into a very important run of games now with burnley at home next week followed by games against hull, bournemouth and middlesbrough. A very important month for us, march. Disappointing result for swansea but they have started pulling away from they have started pulling away from the bottom. Lets talk Crystal Palace, they beat middlesbrough, a huge win for Sam Allardyce because they move out of the bottom three. Huge win for Sam Allardyce because they move out of the bottom threelj think this is a big win for Sam Alla Rdyce think this is a big win for Sam Allardyce as it is for Crystal Palace. There has been so much pressure on allardyce because we havent seen the bounce we are used to seeing when he goes in. Big win, van aanholt, one of his first signings, getting the winning goal. Just his second wind, allardyce, in nine games in charge at Crystal Palace, lifting them from the bottom three and bringing middlesbrough into the Relegation Battle But A Massive Win for pallas. I expect them to kick on now. Allardyce will be equally pleased with his team not conceding today. He certainly feels things are paying off. It isa it is a great victory and hopefully we can move on from there. I think the two week break had a big influence from the players because on the players because we could do work with them in all aspects of their game. Today they made a lot of very good decisions and cope with the pressure very well. We have to be working, we have to keep going together, we started together and we will finish together, so we know we will have have the spirit other teams have, we do not have the money they had to spend so we have to keep working well. Speaking of managerial returns, david moyes and sunderland return to everton today but not a happy return, beaten 2 0 comfortably. Sunderland have been in the Relegation Zone 175 days, longer than any Premier League team this season. Than any Premier League team this season. A defeat on david moyess return to goodison park. Lukaku, this man here, the scorerfor everton. The goal in the second half was his 60th in everton colours equalling the held by duncan ferguson, so a good day for lukaku and everton, nine games unbeaten now for them. We will take a look at that in them. We will take a look at that in the moment. First lets hearfrom david moyes who recognise everton we re david moyes who recognise everton were too good for his team today. You have to remember the quality of everton, where they are and what they are trying to achieve. We are trying to achieve Different Things and it is a different level of the table. There is a gulf of equality in the level of player so we are trying to get the best we can, and i have to say the players have given everything they have got. It is not for lack of effort or running or working or anything like that. We just dont quite have the quality. Another clean sheet. Really pleased by the first 45 minutes. Not really happy about the second 45. I think we dropped the tempo. We played more back and forwards, and one lucky moment. I think it was the shot of defoe. We did it by ourselves because we dropped the tempo once again in the second half. Still not happy despite the win, always seeking perfection, combe on. West brom winners at bournemouth today in inflicting a fourth Straight Defeat on bournemouth who are struggling. Fourth Straight Defeat in a row, things looking good lyon, king Giving Bournemouth lead but tony puliss side doing really well, eighth in the table now, craig dawson and Gareth Mcauley with the west brom goals, mcauley with sixth of the season so far, a great return for a centre back. For west brom it gives them the magic 40 points, you hear tony pulis talking about 40 points, he is there now so it is onwards and upwards. A significant moment for west brom, who are in the top half of the table, and speaking of 40 points, long gone are the days when that was west broms sole aim. The next target is the next game and making sure the players are prepared and do the best they can. It has been a great season so far and we dont want it to go flat. The important thing is to keep them bubbly, keep them going, keep the spirit there, and we are very pleased that we have those points. Most teams when they are not winning games, it is not one person but different players, and thats why we have to take collective responsibility for it. To make sure that we put those right and come back. If we do come out of this, which i am sure we will, we will be a better team for it. Staying at the bottom of the table, hull against burnley today, a point apiece for both sides, but hull city will see it as an opportunity missed. They were leading at one point but Michael Keane equalised for burnley, their second point away from home this season. Important for them but heartbreak for hull city, out of the bottom three at one point today. A big job now for markets over to lift his players. He has done a greatjob, they have certainly seen an improvement in performances. Certainly, they beat liverpool at home, push chelsea at Sta Mford Liverpool at home, push chelsea at Stamford Bridge not long ago. There is definitely an upturn under mark da silva, they just is definitely an upturn under mark da silva, theyjust have to find their form. Lets hear from the burnley manager first after a struggle away from home for them so far this season. If you dont win on the road everyone presupposes they will beat you. I could feel it there tonight. It was nervy for them but we just lacked a cutting tonight. It was nervy for them but wejust lacked a cutting edge moments we have delivered many times. We didnt produce many in the final third. I was assured with my side and thought they looked assured. We will take on the next challenge as it comes. We need to continue to do our work, to keep focused on our organisation as well, obviously we have a lot of players out who are important players out who are important players for us. It is the same thing. Today one point more, three points is better of course but our fight continues. In the late kick off watford hosted west ham united. It finished 1 1. It finished 11. Troy deeney putting west ham ahead. This was a penalty that watford one. Troy deeney stepping up emphatically and giving watford the lead early on. It was a late goal from west hams andreae you. A stroke of good fortune. 11 the final score, doesnt do any side of favour. Here is the top of the table. Chelseas lead could change. Tottenham play stoke tomorrow, nick, which could see them leapfrog man city and close the gap somewhat. Should they win that gap will be reduced to ten points. I think we can reduced to ten points. I think we ca n start reduced to ten points. I think we can start calling chelsea champions elect because their home form is so good, 11 wins out of 12 at home. 12 matches remaining. It is such a big gap, chelsea dont look like dropping any points. However chases them has to put on an incredible run as well which seems unlikely. Both manchester clubs not playing this weekend, man united playing the efl cup tomorrow against southampton and west brom up to eighth. Lets look at the bottom of the table, and as we said, an opportunity missed for hull who could have moved out of the bottom three with a win. Perhaps more significantly is where leicester are tonight because as we know with that when Crystal Palace have moved up and out of the bottom three, Leicester City in the bottom three. The champions in the Relegation Zone, a strange thing to say, but the big winner really is Crystal Palace, a big win for Sam Alla Rdyce Crystal Palace, a big win for Sam Allardyce as well, the win at home to middlesbrough lifts out of the bottom three, a point clear of the sown at the moment, bringing middlesbrough into it. Middlesbrough are not out of it yet and bournemouth are an up or run so it goes up to 14th place as to who will be relegated from the Premier League. Sunderland one 175 days in the bottom, looks like they will be staying there as while. A turbulent week for leicester. Claudio ranieri return to the Training Ground today to say his goodbyes. The players and the staff we re goodbyes. The players and the staff were there, before the clubs thai owners flew in by helicopter after he had departed. Wilde has the details. The thoughts of many leicester fans didnt exactly need spelling out, yet outside the Training Ground today, here they were. The players arriving for a final goodbye to Claudio Ranieri, the man who guided them to one of the most astonishing triumphs in the games history, but also now crucially into battle for Premier League survival. We achieved the impossible together, and i have nothing but the utmost respect for him and for everything he achieved at this club. He came in and said his piece to the players, thanked us for our efforts, and for last season, and said goodbye, you know, and its a shame its come to this. I wouldnt say there were tears but you can imagine it hurts him and it hurts the players that we havent performed well enough to make this carry on. The meeting lasted around 40 minutes, barely time it seems to reminisce on all his team achieved. I have to say thank you for the fans, they are fantastic. How do you feel . I feel good. You feel good . Yes, of course, because of what we achieved in leicester, and i hope it will happen again but it would be very different. Was it emotional with the players in there . No, it was normal. Do you feel stabbed in the back . Normal or not, this was the end of a story which was anything but. The thai owners, who made the decision to sack ranieri, arrived shortly after by helicopter. The decision has left many asking questions many asking questions of the game, or should it be the business . They will take it from a pragmatic business sense, and despite everyones discontent with the decision, and the passion that has been shown, the Passion Ranieri showed, they looked at it in a cold hearted way and made the decision, and leicester just have to move on. Moving on for the moment means preparing for mondays game against liverpool. Leicester are still in the Champions League, of course, but also now in a perilous scrap to stay in the premier. Scrap to stay in the Premier League. Replacing the man who achieved the impossible may just be an impossible task. Adam wild, bbc news. Lets stay with leicester. The players have certainly had their people say. Castres michaels spoke to the press today and jamie vardy has put this on instagram. This follows rumours the players met the leicester chairman following the defeat in the Champions League this week. A heartfelt response from jamie vardy, touching on the part the players played in his departure. I guess all eyes will turn now to that match on monday. They face liverpool in the Relegation Zone. They can still win the Champions League, what a story that would be they did it last season, who knows what they could achieve this season lets bring you up to date with other football results. Celtic have maintained their 24 point lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership with a 2 0 win over hamilton. Moussa dembele scored both goals to give the hoops their 21st league win in a row. Aberdeen moved nine points clear in the race for second place with a 1 0 win over ross county adam rooney with the goal. Dundee won 5 1 away at motherwell. Partick thistle beat a ten man hearts side 2 0 at firhill. And kilmarnock got their first away win since october 2 0 at stjohnstone. Brighton have gone two points clear at the top of the championship this evening. They got off to an excellent start against reading, sam baldocks fourth goal in four games giving them a lead. Reading were a lwa ys giving them a lead. Reading were always chasing after that, brighton effective on the counterattack, murphy making it two in the second half and they wrapped it up with ten minutes to go on the breakaway, knockaerts 11th goal of the season, setting things up nicely for tuesday nights match at home to second placed newcastle. 0nto the championship, and leeds Beat Promotion rivals Sheffield Wednesday 1 0 in the Yorkshire Derby at lunchtime. Both teams are in the play offs, and chasing promotion to the Premier League. It was chris wood who produced the only goal of the game he continued his remarkable form with his 23rd of the season. Wednesday had a chance to equalise, but rob green kept out Jordan Rhodes second half penalty. Leeds hung on to take all three points, and the result moves them up to fourth in the table for now. Wednesday stay sixth. Here are the rest of the days championship results. Tonight in hull, we could see some boxing history britains first World Champion twins. Gavin mcdonnell is aiming to become the wbc world superbantamweight champion, and join his twin brother, jamie, who already holds a world title. Alex gulrajani went to meet them. The mcdonalds have never been too farapart, and in boxing the mcdonalds have never been too far apart, and in boxing terms, they could become even closer. Jamie, the younger by nine minutes, holds a world title at bantamweight, and gavin is just 12 rounds away from collecting his own world title. |j never really wanted to see a boxer, it was only seen my brother doing well and picking up titles, i got a bug for it. Hejacked it in well and picking up titles, i got a bug for it. He jacked it in at 18 andl bug for it. He jacked it in at 18 and i kept going, fighting for the european title, and my brother said, ican do european title, and my brother said, i can do that. He just lived in the pub with his mates, and he said, i can do it, and no one believed him. Gavin proved doubters wrong as he won the british, commonwealth and european titles, but jamie won the british, commonwealth and european titles, butjamie has a Lwa Ys European titles, butjamie has always been that one step ahead. Eight years running now i have only been number two and he has been a champion from day one, i did his gloves up. All my life i have been trying to outdo him and i take as much pride in what he is doing as it myself but this title puts me up there with him. It should earn him a place on the coveted Mcdonnell Hall of fame at his parent s home in doncaster where they grew up. They we re doncaster where they grew up. They were always makes. They know what each other is thinking before it comes out of their mouth. If you show them a photograph they would point to the wrong one, they never pointed to themselves because they we re pointed to themselves because they were looking at the brother all the time. And it is a bond which will never be broken, especially in a boxing ring. Would you do it professionally, would you and your brother the ring . I dont think you could ever, it is too much of a risk. It will be that for the rest of our lives, who is the better fighter. We fixed it. I won laughter. Tonight, the laughing stops, gavin has his eyes on claiming the mcdonnell number one ranking. No pressure on gavin, then Lizzie Yarnold has won bronze at the skeleton World Championships in germany. Before the weekend, 0lympic champion yarnold had been having an indifferent season since returning after a year out. She began the days two heats in fourth place, and improved to take bronze. Germanys Jaqueline Loelling won gold, with silver going to her compatriot tina hermann. The gb mens four didnt fare quite as well, though they crashed out in their second run. They ended up going head first into the wall and finishing on their side. They were all ok, but wont feature in the remaining heats after their sled failed to make it to the finish line by 20 feet. Dramatic pictures, those just like something from cool runnings, isnt it . Fortunately they are ok. Thats all from sportsday. Time for the weather now. Time for the weather now. Good time for the weather now. Good evening. Not much sunshine across england and wales today, leaden skies and rain to be had. This is the view from one of our weather watchers earlier on today. There was sunshine in scotland and northern ireland. However if we look into the atlantic, this cloud is heading our way, developing all the while, which has been named by the irish met surface as storm un, which will bring stormy winds. Nothing too u ntowa rd, bring stormy winds. Nothing too untoward, a few showers coming into the north and west, by the end of the north and west, by the end of the night england and wales dry, with rain and still cloud, some breaks, temperatures not to farah, perhaps as far north of scotland some breaks. Tomorrow morning, The Wind And Rain Moves into scotland would snow over higher ground. We will see that rain early on over northern ireland. Plenty more on the way. Eastern england doing quite well through the morning, the cloud fairly well broken with sunshine coming through and relatively mild at 9am, nine or 10 degrees for many places. Further west there is cloud to be had and wind picking up. When setting into the western side of wales, and the process continues throughout the morning, the wind picking up as storm un moves into northern ireland, and wind around the irish sea getting up to 60 miles an hour, maybe 70 in that strong winds and heavy rain. The rain turned to snow. A lot of rain across western england and wales, little getting to the east, but relatively mild. This is on sunday, england against italy, ten or 11 degrees, some cloud and little rain to speak of but it will be quite windy. 0n monday another windy day across the board, a blustery day with rain moving east followed by sunny spells and a scattering of showers. You will notice temperatures down by a few degrees, single figures for most places, some showers thundery with hailstorms and maybe snow over higher ground. Into the cold it through monday and tuesday and again into wednesday, an unsettled look over the next few days with lots of showers forecast, again, some containing hailstorms, sleet and rain.
