to show you earlier before some technical difficulties. the hero for scotland was duhan van der merwe. a hat trick of brilliant tries for him put his team out of sight. with the boot of firm russell, those two got all the points for scotland and it seals a remarkable fourth calcutta cup victory in a row, the first time they've done that since 1896. it also takes them up to second in the table, behind ireland at the top after their win over wales. let's hear from the man who's tries won this match. i'v e i've never scored against england, but to do it today is so special. i can just think the boys were giving me the opportunity. what can just think the boys were giving me the opportunity.— me the opportunity. what does it mean to this _ me the opportunity. what does it mean to this team _ me the opportunity. what does it mean to this team to _ me the opportunity. what does it mean to this team to chalk- me the opportunity. what does it mean to this team to chalk up i me the opportunity. what does it mean to this team to chalk up a i mean to this team to chalk up a fourth calcutta cup victory in a row? it fourth calcutta cup victory in a row? ., , ., , , fourth calcutta cup victory in a row? ., _ , .,, fourth calcutta cup victory in a row? ., _ , ., row? it obviously shows you where we're going- _ row? it obviously shows you where we're going- lt's — row? it obviously shows you where we're going. it's really _ row? it obviously shows you where we're going. it's really special. - row? it obviously shows you where we're going. it's really special. i i we're going. it's really special. i 'ust want we're going. it's really special. i just want to _ we're going. it's really special. i just want to thank _ we're going. it's really special. i just want to thank all _ we're going. it's really special. i just want to thank all the - we're going. it's really special. i just want to thank all the sport. we're going. it's really special. i l just want to thank all the sport for coming out. it really means a lot to us. and we're building. a huge win for scotland there. _ and we're building. a huge win for scotland there. you _ and we're building. a huge win for scotland there. you can _ and we're building. a huge win for scotland there. you can find - and we're building. a huge win for scotland there. you can find out i scotland there. you can find out more on the bbc sport's website on the day's other stories. thank you for watching, see you next time.

many places saw a fine day today with some sunny spells around. it was on the chilly side, and that will take us into quite a cold night tonight once again, with frost developing across many areas. and we'll also see some areas of mist and fog forming, which could be quite dense, particularly so across parts of northern england, the midlands and eastern england. i think these are favoured spots for some very dense fog at times. a cold night to come for most. the winds picking up, though, across south wales, south—west england ahead of this area of low pressure, so less cold here, four or five degrees. subzero values, though, for pretty much the rest of the country. so we have this area of low pressure to contend with for sunday. that's going to affect more southern parts of the uk, whereas further north we'll be in a ridge of high pressure, so here it'll stay fine, dry, with plenty of sunshine around.
6:57 pm
and we will remain on the colder side of this area of low pressure, as you can see here on the air mass chart, so another chilly day to come. so many places starting bright, with some sunshine, but cold and frosty. there will be those stubborn fog patches to clear across the midlands, eastern england. it turns wet and windy, though, for south wales, south—west england. that rain spreads across southern and south—east england as we move through the afternoon. bit of a question mark on the northern extent of the rain, but it looks like it's south wales, the m4 corridor southwards which will have a bit of a wash—out day. more rain falling on saturated ground could exacerbate already existing flooding issues, and it's going to be another chilly day. as that wet and windy weather pulls out towards france, it will drag a few wintry showers — northern scotland, north—east england, but dry for most away from the extreme south, which will stay wet and windy. so, as a consequence, because of the wind and rain, temperatures no lower than 5—6 degrees here, but another cold night to come with a frost further north. now, this ridge of high pressure will topple in across the country as we head into monday. that will push that area of low
6:58 pm
pressure out towards france, but it'll take its time. eventually, the wind and the rain will clear away from sussex and kent, but it will remain blustery, a strong north—easterly wind here. elsewhere, dry, plenty of sunshine, the winds less of a feature further north and west. but when we factor in the strong wind across the south—east coming in from the north—east, although we'll see 8—9 degrees on the thermometer, it's going to feel more like 1—2 degrees. and then as we push deeper into the week, towards the end of february, we start to pick up atlantic weather systems once again, bringing spells of wet and windy weather, and that'll lift the temperatures for all areas, both by day and by night.
