the final round of matches in the english premiership and pro 12 regular seasons. there was a lot at stake in the premiership, with three teams still able to finish top and european qualification was

awin for leicester or avoiding a big defeat would guarantee the final play—off place, whilst 6th and 7th placed harlequins and northampton faced each other for the final european champions cup place. so a lot to be decided and ben croucher followed all the twists and turns. after 126 matches it came down to one day with every match having something riding on it. working out who was where to give you more of a headache than the rugby itself. they had spent spencer, and he spotted a gap to get the defending champions a surprise lead, but it didn't last. well saracens‘ focus surprise lead, but it didn‘t last. well saracens‘ focus may your next weekend‘s champions cup final, the focus for wasps was to rise, as it has been all season. one more needed foran has been all season. one more needed

more games to be crowned champions. no chance of the play—offs at franklins gardens but the winner would be guaranteed a spot in the cup next season. guaranteed a spot in the cup next season. they had to avoid heavy defeat to northampton, so all the big names and action. the saints‘ biggest name george north helped pull them back into it. advantage northampton until jewel merchant responded. sixth in the table was anyone‘s guess. another bonus point would see them leapfrog their opponents an entire season boiling down to ten minutes. they survived the onslaught and celebration in defeat, and after a long season, possibly a few sore heads tomorrow. so here is how the regular season finished and it came down to games won. wasps clinching top spot ahead of exeter chiefs after winning 2 more games. in the premiership semi finals, wasps are at home to leicester tigers while exeter chiefs welcome saracens to sandy park on the 20th of may. harlequins‘ losing bonus point ensured that they

table as leinster slipped up to ulster in belfast ulster, who finished just outside the play—off spots in fifth place, went ahead early on. the opening try scored by roger wilson. ulster‘s most capped player in his last game before retiring. scrum—half ruan pienaar is also leaving the province. he set up winger andrew trimble, added another try after the break to help ulster seal a 17—13 victory. a day of goodbyes at glasgow too. but not a winning send off for warriors coach gregor townsend. he‘s taking charge of the scottish national team. stuart hogg, a player he‘ll undoubtedly be working with again, got glasgow to within four points of edinburgh. but a late try from glenn bryce helped edinburgh claim a 29—18 win. munster are beating connacht and — as things stand — they‘d top the table. and in the battle of the bottom two, treviso are beating zebre. so munster finish the season top. with leinster, scarlets and ospreys in the top four. zebre finish bottom. let‘s catch up with all the day‘s football in the premier league, with olly foster and our football reporter steve crossman. plenty to talk about, all change with the last match of the day and let‘s get the action from that straightaway. swansea knew that if they beat everton in the late kick—off at the liberty stadium they would move out of the relegation zone and push hull into the bottom three. and that‘s just what happened. it was a nervy1—0 win. nick parrott reports. with a seventh place finish and european football guaranteed for next season, everton only had pride to play for and against the relegation threatened swansea city. it often comes before they fall. despite boasting the premier league‘s top scorer in romelu lukaku, league‘s top scorer in romelu lu ka ku, the league‘s top scorer in romelu lukaku, the omens were not looking good. a moment of hope in the first half coming for the welsh club. the spaniards‘s 13 from the goal of the season spaniards‘s 13 from the goal of the season will not be remembered for the finish but as it comes out to be lucky for swansea it will be remembered for years. they could and perhaps should have had more. only last ditch defending stopped them. a mess kit cost jordan last ditch defending stopped them. a mess kit costjordan eu what would have been his first goal for the club. in the end, it didn‘t matter, one goal enough to give swansea pride in theirfirst home one goal enough to give swansea pride in their first home league win against everton, and put their destiny back in the own hands. big, big result. the reactionjust says it all. it is belief! pure relief, and not surprising because you can see what it means to the swansea players. and 13 premier league goals ina team players. and 13 premier league goals in a team that may yet be relegated is phenomenal. he went off the boil for about but it does come good just when it matters again. he certainly didn‘t make any mistake in this one. he is the kind of player who are keen like swansea needs. you need a goal—scorer. it really means that paul clement‘s site have a great chance of staying in the premier league. they have been in the bottom three for a month, the 18 spot, but when they stepped out they knew what they had to do. let‘s see what happened at hull. usual it‘s not a defeat because of that man‘s great record but sunderland, after being relegated, they may play with a bit of freedom, and they really don‘t. they shocked the hull team. i do think marco silva was very unlucky. going 42 home games without defeat, at some point you‘re going to have a bit of bad luck. they probably should have had two penalties, hull. there was a bicycle kick that hit the arm. the goalkeeper didn‘t have much to do in the game and they got hit with two real sucker punches so marco silva must be fuming. we conceded two calls on set pieces which poses a problem. it is like, you come to the past again and in the past we conceded too many goals from set pieces. the second goal was offside again and one more goal in offside again and one more goal in offside on the didn't see, of course. it is football and now is the moment to rest and analyse what has happened in the game and look to the next. you hope that the players shall pray for thejersey the next. you hope that the players shall pray for the jersey and i thought they all done that today. it would be difficult to be critical of anybody, they performed very well with one or two outstanding performances. we missed some chances and saved one or two of the opportunity so low knowledge was a good performance. we have not been winning much recently saw from our point of we are thrilled. hull have spurs only last match of the season. next up for hull is crystal palace, and they are looking nervously over their shoulders they‘d beaten arsenal, liverpool and cheslea in their three previous wins but they came completekly unstuck at manchester city. city up to third on goal difference after winning 5—0, alex gulrajani reports. they would have wanted to be playing for much more than just a spot in the champions league but the manchester city season is now based onjust manchester city season is now based on just that. crystal palace still have one eye on the other end of the table. the other wasn‘t on dyfed silver everly on. he ghosted into the box unnoticed to finish it to put them ahead in under two minutes, not what sam allardyce had planned for with safety from relegation still not sure it. vincent kompany didn‘t offer any assistance to that. manchester city doubled their assistance —— advantage. the attem pts assistance —— advantage. the atte m pts to assistance —— advantage. the attempts to keep kevin de bruyne‘s shot out some adopt the afternoon. raheem sterling got in on the act before they fifth goal from a fifth different goal—scorer. manchester city move one step closer to seeing a place amongst the european elite next season. there is not another competition in the world with six strong teams fighting for positions. here, every season will be tougher and tougher to qualify for the champions league. chelsea, toss in, arsenal, manchester united and manchester city, everton are there, all the teams, so important for the fans and the clubs and the players to be there. it lies in our hands to try to beat hull a week on sunday, and we have to have the nerve for that one. we have had a fantastic run that has come to an end with three disappointing defeats and we have to put it to an end and get back to winning ways. exams summed it up. all the relegation issues next week could be sorted. leicester 3 watford 0, the champions are safe and into the top half of the table too. and what does that say about what craig shakespeare has done? considering where they work and the few rory when the owners get rid of cloudy or any any. craig shakespeare had a job on his hands and after less it is very much job done. jamie vardy didn‘t get himself on the scoresheet but it was a classic mahrez gaul. they won comfortably 3-0. mahrez gaul. they won comfortably 3—0. surely he has to get the job now, let‘s hear from 3—0. surely he has to get the job now, let‘s hearfrom craig shakespeare. definitely pleased with the result, performance not quite there today for both sides. it was a bit of a scrappy affair but ultimately it is about the result and another clean sheet is pleasing. when i took over the most important thing was to be competitive in every game, to try to climb the table and never set a points target but ultimately now we are mathematically safe and we have got three games left. bournemouth another team that is mathematically safe. a brilliant season for them. josh king has had a fantastic season, 15 premier league goals, might be 16 yet. officially the second goal he got has gone down asa the second goal he got has gone down as a ryan shawcross own goal. eddie howe i think will be delighted and he should be with this season. some fa ns he should be with this season. some fans of any premier league team, once your side starts being just a solid team, unlikely call down or get in europe, fans can sometimes get in europe, fans can sometimes get bored, but i don‘t think bournemouth fans will be bored to see their team play premier league football week in and week out. they drew 2—2, lets you from the managers. it means everything to the foot ball clu b managers. it means everything to the football club to establish ourselves in the premier league and we are trying to do that desperately. incredibly tough league and we found that again but we are delighted to see we will be playing in the premier league next season. disappointing from our point of view, i thought it was a good performance and always very much on the front foot. we had a game plan to frustrate them and worked very well for us. they didn‘t really create too many chances of note. we just sucked up on a couple of occasions. unless there is something like a 20 goal swing, burnley should be safe? it is quite easy to say they are safe and west bromwich albion have had a really good season. the first goal in 20 matches for this man. a really good finish as well. craig dawson on the scoresheet, a headerfrom a corner, but burnley got two goals themselves and to be on a0 points, i don‘t think they are the kind of club you had a look at and said there was no chance for them, they will get relegated. you would look at them and say they have a good chance, but the manager has done more than a good job and he adheres. we are not the other teams have more quality than us and budget etc, but you can't worry about everyone else, you focus on yourself. we took a few knocks them the season, as you do, but we got to 40 points and that is a good marker for a team like us and still a good marker for a team like us and st i ll two a good marker for a team like us and still two games to go. so six matches, seven? here is the top of the table. we don‘t talk about what happened that spurs last night. tomorrow we have manchester united and arsenalfacing tomorrow we have manchester united and arsenal facing each other and liverpool have southampton so sitting up in third on goal difference. the top four race will be one of two things that sustain as to the end of the season because it is still every chance. they keep saying they are looking at the europa league but not the league but i‘m not convinced. europa league but not the league but i'm not convinced. this is where it will be really tight next weekend? that is the latest table with swa nsea that is the latest table with swansea to the relegation zone and their next game? sunderland. again, no pressure on sunderland and we saw them get that effectively but if swa nsea ca n them get that effectively but if swansea can get that game, all of a sudden hull are going to have to get results in both of their final two games to stay in the premier league. brilliant stuff. there was six games today, we lost count. let‘s move on today, we lost count. let‘s move on to leak two. there‘s was late drama in league two this evening, where hartlepool were relegated, despite beating doncaster rovers. newport county‘s last gasp victory at home to notts county relegated hartlepool from the football league for the first time in their history. doncaster went into the game knowing a win would give them an outside chance of winning the league. andy williams put them ahead. with their survival on the line, hartlepool responded with rodney firing them level with 16 minutes remaining. he sparked a pitch invasion soon after when he sealed the win that — at the time — meant hartlepool were safe. however, newport county grabbed an 89th minute winner against notts county to turn the atmosphere at victoria park decidedly sour. the game also had significance at the top of the table, as doncaster‘s defeat coupled with a draw for plymouth meant that portsmouth, who were 6—1winners against cheltenham, took the title. tranmere rovers are 90 minutes away from rejoining the football league after a two—year exile, thanks to their national league play—off semi—final win against aldershot town. having won the first leg 3—0, tranmere were always in control of the tie and a late strike from james norwood gave them a 2—2 draw on the day — a 5—2 win on aggregate. the play—off final is at wembley next sunday. tranmere will face either forest green or dagenham, who are tied at 1—1 going into tomorrow‘s second leg. inverness caledonian thistle are still fighting to stay in the scottish premiership. the bottom club are nowjust a points adrift of safety after a 2—1 win against relegation rivals hamilton. brad mckay scored their first on 10 minutes. they doubled their lead with a penalty and hamilton could only manage a late consolation goal. elsewhere today dundee eased their relegation fears with an away win at kilmarnock. ross county are safe from automatic relegation after winning at second from bottom motherwell. champions celtic are still unbeaten in all domestic competitions, a3 matches, after a a—1 win at home to stjohnstone. so here‘s the table, celtic are on 97 points with a remarkable 30 points lead. at the other end, inverness are chasing down motherwell and hamilton. you up—to—date with all the football and to the rugby league. in theirfinal warm—up match before the rugby league world cup in october england beat samoa 30 points to 10 in sydney. samoa had their moments in the second half but overall it was an encouraging performance from england as joe lynskey reports. they have come half way around the world, in the middle of the season, but little sentiment is geared for england on these shores. in sydney, this was also samoa‘s chance in the spotlight and the working to make an impact. but the visitors arrived with their own agenda, with just one test before the world cup, every minute matters. ryan gave them the lead inside two minutes. for england, this was of much about standing out from one another as their opponents. players like ratchford are bidding for a starting place in october. his try now had england fully in control, and though samoa did respond, wayne bennett‘s team were finding the gaps. firstjosh, then james graham extending the lead. suddenly, a distinct super league field in sydney. after disappointments in the autumn‘s four nations, this was the performance they were expecting. five tries mean england take to the skies with the winning feeling. pretty solid performance from england following australia performance yesterday. coming up the world cup and the autumn and rugby league correspondences england was my chances of winning the tournament we re my chances of winning the tournament were enhanced by today‘s performance. on the back of what we have seen, you would say england are second favourites. new zealand a little bit disappointing. if you are to make a bold prediction at this point you would predict and australia england final, but some more will be good in the world cup finals, fiji will be good, tonga will be good, but a lot of underrated nations in the punch through. churchill conquered one of europe‘s great horse races — the 2,000 guineas. that‘s a record eighth win for trainer aidan o‘brien in the classic. it was jockey ryan moore‘s second win in the race, having ridden o‘brien‘s previous winner gleneagles in 2015. barney roy was second ahead of third —favourite al wu kair. the son of legendary

will see you at 8:15 p.m., goodbye. as always, cloud amounts made a big difference to the feel of the day today, a couple of weather watcher pictures to begin with, grey skies and not much sunshine

sunshine in the afternoon where it will feel quite warm. the strongest reason northern and eastern scotland where it will stay cloudy. the cloud breaks from the north across wales and the midlands and eventually salon england and a good deal of sunshine for northern ireland. what a difference again the cloud makes with the onshore breezes and chilly in the north—east but further west and south the
