a victory that gives them an unassailble lead in the championship with just france against england to come tonight. our correspondent andy swiss was there to see it at the aviva stadium. it was close at the end, but ireland are over the line. as you can probably hear the party is very much in full swing. ireland are once again the sensations for that goodness me, they had to work for it. in the last half hour we had a moment of all that i learned fans have been hoping to see. because ireland listed the six nations trophy after a win over scotland. the second year in a year that ireland are six nations champions will that last year they won the grand slam. no grand slam this year because of their defeat for that once again they have finished stop of the table and they had that famous trophy. —— top of

the table. a real struggle at a time for ireland. they weren't at their best it was a pretty nervy occasion all around. best it was a pretty nervy occasion allaround. ireland did best it was a pretty nervy occasion all around. ireland did score the only try all of the first half although they had a big helping hand from scotland. there was a mistake at scottish line—out. dan sheehan went crashing over for ireland for the opening drive. ireland led to 7-6 at the opening drive. ireland led to 7—6 at the break, just a one—point lead because of too thin russell penalties for scotland. just a one—point lead for ireland at the breakfor that one—point lead for ireland at the break for that after they exerted a lot more pressure, came close a few times, committed a few handling errors with the line beckoning. eventually with 15 minutes ago they got their second try out the match. andrew porter going over for ireland. at that point they extended their lead for that they seem to be home and dry. what it's just a few minutes left there was real tension

for the hugh minutes left there was real tension for the huthones went over for a try for scotland. that narrowed the 93p- try for scotland. that narrowed the gap. a nerve—racking last few minutes for all the ireland fans in the stadium. they held on for the victory, delight for them at the final whistle. you can see just what it meant for the delightful players to win the six nations title for the second year running. and the light also for their coach andy farrell. this is what it's all about. getting yourself— this is what it's all about. getting yourself in — this is what it's all about. getting yourself in a position to win the championship it's pretty special. life is _ championship it's pretty special. life is all— championship it's pretty special. life is all about marriage, isn't it. life is all about marriage, isn't it this— life is all about marriage, isn't it this is— life is all about marriage, isn't it. this is what dreams are made of. being _ it. this is what dreams are made of. being able _ it. this is what dreams are made of. being able to — it. this is what dreams are made of. being able to go back to back is pretty— being able to go back to back is pretty tile. so proud of the boys. in pretty tile. so proud of the boys. in the _ pretty tile. so proud of the boys. in the second half and i thought we -ot in the second half and i thought we got to the — in the second half and i thought we got to the box really strong. brilliant _ got to the box really strong. brilliant rugby at times. they never

during last season six nations. although they didn't win the grand slam they have won the six nations title two years in a row.— title two years in a row. hugely impressive- _ title two years in a row. hugely impressive. all _ title two years in a row. hugely impressive. all of _ title two years in a row. hugely impressive. all of this - title two years in a row. hugely impressive. all of this before i title two years in a row. hugely i impressive. all of this before led crunch. it started nickname but it doesn't matter. france against england still to come. from dublin, and east—west. this is of course a day that settles the six nations at both top and bottom of the table and for the first time since 2003 it's wales who finish at the foot and receive with it the infamous wooden spoon. they lost their fifth game out of five to italy 24-21 as patrick gearey reports. the end of the tournament, the end of an era. goodbye to george north, master try scorer, even for an expert finisher, this one was tough. italy wouldn't make it any easier, the confidence they took from beating scotland flowed through them and past wales.

monty ioane to the line. their first half was pointless. not so long ago, italy's place in the six nations was being questioned, but how is this for proof of progress? commentator: 0h, lorenzo pani! what a glorious try! 18—0, wales are staring at an unwanted utensil. staring at the wooden spoon, they brought out the heavy rollers, elliot dee forced the ball over, try at last. italy simply kept kicking towards the horizon, towards their second victory of the tournament. the game was now beyond wales, despite a late tries from will rowlands and mason grady. north's final salute wasn't how he planned it. in sport, even the best can't script their endings. patrick gearey, bbc news. it's been a while since wales suffered like this with only one six nations win since warren gatland returned as coach and once again he repeated

his mantra of patience with an extensive rebuilding job underway. when we knew the inexperience of the squad, players that routes are stepped up into leadership roles with up for us it's about learning and taking the good moments out of the game. and going, this is what good looks like. i'm really excited about this group. i think they're going to learn from that. some youngsters who will improve from the experience. we've got to make sure that we're very clear on the sort of things, to find the game a little bit to make sure we do get on that front foot to go forward and it will make a huge difference for us. quarter final of the champions league within touching distance of the premier league lead. and now into the last four of the fa cup — this is the point that manchester city and treble will start to be put together again. they beat newcastle 2—0 in their quarter final at the etihad.

reginaldo rosario has more. the fa cup has become a routine for manchester city. five straight semifinal, last seasons when art of the famous trouble. newcastle united standing in the way with another trip to wembley. city got into the rhythm quickly. when you give bernardo silver time and space it usually gets punched. dan burns by helping the ball home for the 1—0 city after helping the ball home for the i—0 city after 30 minutes. perhaps that's the end of newcastle is bad luck for the night. perhaps not. you can understand bernardo silvers she prisoners. the beneficiary of a deflection. this time botman, the unfortunate man. you could only watch in black—and—white last time newcastle tasted cup successful top but missed chances like that will surely prolong a 69 year wait. the second half saw a but tonight few and far between and the rain poured

down on newcastle is hope. but as is routine for city in this contest wembley awaits again. the first team through to the semi—finals in this year's fa cup are coventry city. they beat wolves at molineux by three goals to two in a dramatic encounter that saw the championship side score twice in stoppage time to book their place at wembley, reaching the last four of the competition for the first time in 37 years. nick parrott reports. a sense of relief and disbelief resonated around molineux after the final whistle. coventry pulled off a remarkable recovery that left wolves flawed. the championship side managed 12 shots on target, more than twice as many as their premier league hosts. but it was the misses that were more telling. ellis simms scored a hat—trick in the last round, had he started better, the nail—biting finale might not have happened. when he did finally get the ball in the net, it took five

minutes for the va are to decide whether he had handled it. —— video assistant referee full stop the fans were so frustrated, even the home once booed the delay. eventually, commentary�*s prayers were answered. it would have been a controversial way to look when the match but 20 mins later, wolves made any lingering arguments invalid. the algerian midfielder then turned provider for this player to score his first four wolves. that would have been a moment for the spaniard to treasure until simms ruined his day. many teams would have tried to hold on for extra time, but not coventry. in the 100th minute of the match, the striker wrote his name into the club's history. the american giving covenrty fans the dream of reaching the fa cup final for the first time since they won

it. well wolves manager gary o'neil has described the way his coventry counterpart celebrated their winner as "disgusting". mark robins has apologised since. he celebrated in front of a young wolves ball—boy who had earlier dropped a ball at robins' feet believing the home side were about to win. o'neil said afterwards the boy was really upset and wasjust doing hisjob, while the coventry boss insisted he doesn't usually show emotion even if the win was historic. that should give everyone the confidence to kick on for the rest of the season in our league and hopefully we can try and get into the play—offs, there are some good teams at our level but we have just beaten a really good opponent. they are a giant, they have done brilliantly this year, gary has done a fantasticjob. we're just happy we have managed to put in a performance that gets us over the line and go to wembley again, the fourth time since i have been at the club. we gave everything to get to this point, we gave everything again today. some of my shuffling helped,

some of it's cost us. that is the way it goes and players gave everything, fans give everything, obviously everybody is going to be devastated with the result for the next few days and we will have to find a way to dust ourselves down because premier league is going to be really tough now. players that we have missing and what we are going to have to do and how we are going to have to fight is going to be a real test of everyone so we need to be ready. quarterfinal weekend in the fa cup means a slimmed down prmeier league weekend. but significance nonetheless to all three games today. spurs have failed to take their chance to move into the top four. beaten 3—0 af fulham. making it to end early in the second half is up fallen finish well for that nunez got his sec. of the game sealing a big win for palm with the seventh goal in seven games for him. spurs missed the chance to leap, follow him stay 12.

the two cannot be separated. that was because boudin and nottingham forest through i—i. was because boudin and nottingham forest through 1—1. a late goal that gave them the point. keeps them third from bottom. nottingham forest failed to take the chance to pull away from the relegation zone. we got knocked down on wednesday night and it was very tough for us all and i thought we performed really, really well in the game today in difficult circumstances, obviously it the same not going again after only having a day and a bit prep. to go 1—0 down was another blow, this group just keep going and we're still the fight. we didn't open the game to win it.

the chances — we didn't open the game to win it. the chances that we had i think we should _ the chances that we had i think we should have taken two points. we're bil should have taken two points. we're big boys _ should have taken two points. we're big boys a— should have taken two points. we're big boys. a tough situation but 0k, there's— big boys. a tough situation but 0k, there's a _ big boys. a tough situation but 0k, there's a problem there but there's a huge _ there's a problem there but there's a huge problem also to finish for the situations that we have, clear chances _ the situations that we have, clear chances that we have for that we have _ chances that we have for that we have to — chances that we have for that we have to make it real.— have to make it real. a third of those teams — have to make it real. a third of those teams considering - have to make it real. a third of those teams considering a - those teams considering a relegation fight in front of them burnley. burnley are now eight points away from safety after they won 2—1 at home to brentford. jacob bruun—larsen put them ahead with a penalty after brentford's sergio reguilon was sent off. david fofana made it two for burnley before kristoffer ajer pulled one back for brenford late on. i think we started well. we didn't wait for the game to happen, we forced them to make a mistake early doors. i think we won duels and challenges on many occasions and we

created big chances today again. maybe the thing if we sharpen our tools a little bit more, we can have more goals but in the end, a team that hasn't won for a while with ten minutes to go, if the result is not already to bed then that's always something where you have to grind it out but we did that and got the result. very, very proud of the players, of the effort, mentality. i really hope the fans are as well. it is an incredible shift of the players put in, to stay in the game 100 minutes with injury time over the two halves and getting very close, probably should could get a point, incredibly proud of that. celtic have retaken the lead in the scottish premiership — winning today, before rangers play tomorrow. celtic beat stjohnstone 3—1, giving them a point advantage over their old firm rivals. elsewhere kilmarnock went above st mirren into fourth by beating them 5—2. third place hearts lost at ross county, while there were also wins

for hibs and aberdeen — their first of 202a. ipswich are up to second in the championship, a point off leaders leicester, after a 6—nil win over sheffield wednesday. meanwhile — swansea beat rivals cardiff in the south wales derby by two goals to nil. liam cullen opened the scoring in the first half and swansea doubled their lead in stoppage time through substitute jamal lowe. the win moves them eight points clear of the relegation zone. harry kane could be an injury doubt for england after twisting his ankle during bayern munich's 5—2 over darmstadt in the bundesliga. he got it caught in the goal netting. with bayern manager thomas tuchel saying he's applied ice and they hope it's nothing major. the england's captain scored for bayern. a 31st league goal that means he's become the highest scoring player in their debut season in the german top division. in the german top division breaking a record that has stood for 60 years. it's also the most kane has ever scored in a league campaign. beating his previous

best of 30 at tottenham. the woman in the christian horner controversy has lodged an official complaint about his behaviour with formula i's governing body, the fia. bbc sport has learned the complainant, who accused red bull's team principal of inappropriate behaviour, has registered a grievance with the fia's ethics committee. horner has always denied the accusations made against him. the third round of the players championship — dubbed the fifth major — is under way at sawgrass. they're all chasing the leader — america's wyndham clark. one of the chasing pack is england's matt fitzpatrick, and he made the perfect start to his third round, this beautiful approach shot setting up a birdie on the first. but, in the last few moment's he's just double bogeyed the fourth to six on eight under, that's seven off the lead. meanwhile, rory mcilroy has also had a shaky round, he's nine shots off the pace at the moment through eleven. you'er watching sportsday. let's have a quick look at some

increasing and there has been some rain and drizzle in the air as well. low pressure is staying probably out to the west, but well ahead of it, this cloud is getting thrown our way, and these weather fronts will bring the wetter weather and that is pushing east. it will clear away from northern areas overnight, but across england and wales, coming up from the south—west, we will see rain developing more widely by the early hours. not welcome rain by any means. eight or nine celsius, but where the cloud breaks later in northern scotland, temperatures down to three orfour celsius. unlike today, tomorrow is going to be an improving picture, where we will see the rain clearing, sunshine coming through and that could lead to a few showers here and there. the rain should not last too long in wales, but you can expect a wet start in the midlands first thing. the cloud will then break, sunny spells will develop, leading to a few showers, mainly for the northern half of the uk. the winds will be quite light and it will be a warmer day.

compared with today temperatures will be three or four degrees higher. in the milder air on sunday night, a couple of weakening weather fronts moving in from the west. they won't bring much rain at all. that's the extent of any cloud and rain early on monday. that moves away, and we will see some sunshine coming through. then the next weather system arrives out in the west, northern ireland, strengthening the winds through the irish sea and into westernmost parts of scotland. it is a southerly wind, hence those higher than normal temperatures, peaking at 15 or 16 celsius. the wind is coming from a long way south, hence those higher temperatures. but the potentialfor more rain. this area of low pressure is going to track north and it will take the rain overnight across the northern half of the uk, and then clear away north on tuesday. following that, there will be a few showers, but then it will dry up with some sunshine.

still some rain hanging on in the south and south—west. those temperatures not changing much, 13—16 celsius.
