hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm jane dougall. six tries for ireland in the six nations — they're top of the table after beating italy. and six goals for arsenal as they batter west ham at the london stadium — declan rice scoring against his old club, to put pressure on manager david moyes. and, it's finally game day — the super bowl will get under way at the allegiant stadium later in las vegas. let's start with the six nations and ireland's return to the top of the table after an easy win over italy. they scored six tries in the match at the aviva stadium. and, despite italy's impressive performance against england last week, they failed to score a single point in dublin. it finished 36—0 as

olly foster reports. # come the day and come the hour... three months ago, rugby super fan stevie mulrooney belted out ireland's call on prime—time tv. the eight—year—old from kilkenny brought the house down once again. come on, ireland! how could the grand slam champions let him down after that? they have lost to italy in the six nations, but that was before stevie was born. jack crowley scored his first try in senior rugby to get them going. the italians gave them a scare in rome in last year's championship. they were never going to get close in dublin. dan sheehan and jack conan also went overfor a 19—0 lead at the break. three more tries followed, sheehan at the front of the bulldozer secured the all—important bonus point. there was no letup at all for the italians. james lowejinked his way through and calvin nash capped the most comfortable of victories.

the championship now takes a two—week break. despite the winning margin the irish say they have plenty to improve on. wales, their next opponents in dublin, will be worried about that. olly foster, bbc news. head coach andy farrell said he was happy with the result, but there was still room for improvement. we for improvement. got what we wanted out of the game, we got what we wanted out of the game, keeping them 20 is very pleasing. some nice tries, performances by individuals, etc. they are tricky enough to play against, they have changed the way they play, a little more pragmatic so you have to find ways to get in the ball. to an extraordinary game at the london stadium where arsenal thrashed west ham 6—0. it's their biggest away win in premier league history — and it moves them to within two points of league leaders liverpool. west ham on the other hand are now winless in seven matches

in all competitions. adam cottier reports. 0ne one year ago arsenal were on a winless run that would prove costly in the title race. this day the appear to be made of stronger stuff led by captain declan rice playing against his old club was his colour that saw william, the first of the arsenal six. the western goalkeeper then brought down the player and the england board penalty saw 50 goals in an arsenal sweatshirt. arsenal had not one since away in december and after gabriel had met both cross from declan rice abend in fourth and any hope of a repeat was lost. they had the west ham fans heading hope before half—time. before —— those that remain so arsenal unrelenting as d saw the biggest from defeat in more than 60 years. the second in

five years and declan rice scoring and fantastic style to compound the misery. the celebrations were muted on this occasion for arsenal, but on this evidence they will not be leaving this title race early with little margin for error, the big margin of victory, their fifth premier league when in a row. arsenal's record premier league away win comes after their impressive victory over liverpool last week, with manager mikel arteta keen to keep the pressure on the league leaders and second placed manchester city. it shows the consistency that we have to hit and demand of ourselves and today we have done it. and do it again. it proves the way we have performed and played and the problems we have right from the beginning and the team should have an air of quality in the moments because it's not easy to do what they have done. in today's other game

in the premier league, aston villa v manchester united. in today's other game in the premier league, manchester united beat aston villa 2—1. united took the lead early in the first half through rasmus hojlund's effort from close range, the dane scoring in his fifth consecutive premier league game. but villa hit back in the second half, douglas luiz eventually turning the ball home after some chaos in the penalty area. however, scott mctomminey got the winnerfor united, heading home with four minutes to go. that win keeps united in sixth but moves them to within five points of fifth—placed villa. in the championship, coventry moved back into the play—off places, coming from behind to beat millwall 2—1. but there were bizarre scenes before they equalised from the penalty spot. take a look at this. midfielder callum 0'hare and striker haji wright deciding who would take the penalty by playing rock—paper—scissors! as you can see wright wins. just as well, because he stepped up and scored to make it one —all. he scored again three minutes later to take coventry up to sixth,

but manager mark robins said he would be talking to the players. scottish cup holders celtic safely negotiated a tricky tie at st mirren to set up a quarterfinal at home to livingston. celtic took the lead through kyogo furuhashi, who struck from the edge of the box to put them ahead. daizen maeda then sealed the victory. in today's other fifth round match hearts lead airdrie 4—1. dundee came from behind to beat stjohnstone 2—1 in the scottish premiership. a penalty and a jordan mcghee goal gave them the win and puts them up to sixth. stjohnstone are tenth. manchester city are through to the women's fa cup quarterfinals after a 1—0 win at arsenal. the three—time winners city remain one of the favourites to lift the trophy again

after laia aleixandri's winner at meadow park. 0ur reporterjo currie was there. in the north london sunshine, one of these heavyweights would fall at the fifth round hurdle. the first half offered little in the way of chances but plenty of drama. an elbow to the face, a penalty shout — none given and no var to consult. and the rivalries continued to spill over. after the break, city tested the keeper, bunny shaw with the power, sabrina d'angelo with a save equal to it. and then the breakthrough. arsenal unable to deal with the free kick, laia aleixandri there to poke home. a huge moment. manchester city with the breakthrough. arsenal threw everything at city as they searched for the equaliser. at one point they thought the ball had crossed the line but khiara keating, city's teenage goalkeeper, simply couldn't be beaten. and there is the full—time whistle. it's manchester city's day. it's a frustratingly familiar story for arsenal,

isn't it, crashing out before the quarterfinals for the second year in a row. for manchester city, though, well, their quest for wembley just got one step closer. jo currie, bbc news, meadow park. well as you heard the goal came from defender laia aleixandri, an unlikely goal—scorer you might say. she spoke tojo currie after the match. i was very exciting to help the team with a goal also it is an important when, we were top class in the back line everyone fighting for each other. 50 line everyone fighting for each other. , . , ., other. so very excited. is that the bi est other. so very excited. is that the biggest gold _ other. so very excited. is that the biggest gold you _ other. so very excited. is that the biggest gold you have _ other. so very excited. is that the biggest gold you have every - other. so very excited. is that the i biggest gold you have every scored? yes. biggest gold you have every scored? yes it_ biggest gold you have every scored? yes it is_ biggest gold you have every scored? yes it is my— biggest gold you have every scored? yes. it is my second goal with this t—shirt so i'm very happy. in the other matches, the holders chelsea are through after beating crystal palace 1—0. manchester united, liverpool, everton and brighton also go through. in the scottish women's premier league, rangers are still top, despite a 0—0 draw against partick

and this chelsea side with the young players they have, also we have seen poor performance and result. crystal palace will try to get organised and they have not got that flair with they have not got that flair with the players missing in that organisation levels will be cured. for chelsea the last two performances in the league have been below par with wolves and liverpool conceding plenty of goals. but that villa performance in the fa cup on wednesday, how much of a difference can that make? i wednesday, how much of a difference can that make?— can that make? i think it is a big reminder again _ can that make? i think it is a big reminder again of _ can that make? i think it is a big reminder again of the _ can that make? i think it is a big reminder again of the talent - can that make? i think it is a big reminder again of the talent in l reminder again of the talent in the building. and the pressure was on and they had to get a result and people looking on the outset saying, they are quite soft and have no grid or determination about them and they proved they can get it in the aston villa site as well were flying high so it was a real psychologically big performance from them and i think now they have to build on it. but we have said it the season already,

increasingly unsettled with the showers turning to longer spells of rain, breezy at times, but it will be mild, particularly through the middle part of the week. this has been the story today. we've had some nuisance rainjust clinging onto the far east coast of scotland and northeast england. some brighter spells and a few scattered showers out to the west. now, those showers will continue to feed in across west—facing coasts overnight. but with some clearer skies, temperatures are likely to fall away. it's going to be a chilly start to our monday morning. low single figures for many, perhaps in rural parts of scotland, below freezing, a touch of ice not out of the question where we've got those lingering showers. low pressure dominates the scene as we move into monday, the wind direction coming from a northwesterly, slightly fresher source and that's going to continue to drive in plenty of showers closest to that area of low. so northern ireland, scotland, perhaps northwest england as well. and some of the showers to the tops of the mountains once again could be wintry in nature. but there will be some sunshine elsewhere and those temperatures are likely to peak between six and ten degrees. as we go through monday evening and into tuesday, we've got this little ridge of high

pressure keeping things quiet. but all the time this weather front is approaching from the southwest, that is going to gradually spill in more cloud ahead of it. so after a bright start, clouding over. a few scattered showers in the far northwest, more persistent showery rain develops across the channel islands, south west england, wales and eventually into the midlands, north west england and northern ireland by the end of the afternoon. 7 to 11, our overall highs. so as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, it's here where the showers potentially could merge to longer spells of rain as it stays pretty unsettled. the wind direction there coming from a south—westerly, so a very mild direction and that is going to just push that milder air further north across the country. so it does mean that we could see temperatures perhaps into the mid—teens as we go through the middle part of the week. but it stays pretty

unsettled for many of us. take care. live from london. this is bbc news. president biden tells israel's prime minister not to press ahead with an offensive in rafah without a plan to ensure the safety of the 1.5 million palestinians sheltering there. nato rebukes donald trump for saying he would encourage russia to attack any nato ally that fails
