that's wherej—lo and shakira took centre stage. but it was the chiefs patrick mahomes who stole the show. the 24—year—old quarterback turned the game in the final quarter. they'll parade the super bowl trophy in kansas city on wednesday but mahomes is set to be the poster boy for the sport for years to come. here's patrick gearey. on eight—day of the chiefs, there was one undoubted king. when patrick mahomes received this bill kansas city were going nowhere. 43 yard later they were already in a different place. that pass offered a path to an incredible comeback. pass after pass coming out after ert turned it around. the chiefs scored 21 points in a sensationalfinal quarter to snatch the title from the san francisco 49ers. the super bowl and the match ball belonged to patrick mahomes, he is only 24.
6:35 pm
and the match ball belonged to patrick mahomes, he is only 24m is amazing, you dream about the stuff when you are a little kid. i go out there and try to be the best person i can, i enjoy this everyday. i enjoy going to the facility, i enjoyed the brotherhood to the team builds. in the space of eight few minutes, patrick mahomes ended the frustration of half a century. the chiefs had not won the super bowl since 1970. his dad played major league baseball and he might have followed him into the sport. he was also good on the basketball court. one former classmate wrote this about a reunion. he is the second youngest quarterback to play any super bowl and this is just his beginning. he is a really special quarterback. a lot of people think highly of him even though he is still young. there is nothing to this, ican

still young. there is nothing to this, i can do this all day. quarterbacks are american football stars, expect to see patrick mahomes are many more adverts now on. the man they call showtime will have a bank palace to match. they are going to have to pay him all the money and give him his wallet on top of that. they will have to find pieces to rotate around this man because he is the guy. what will not be remembered about this super bowl was he was struggling for two quarters of it, but the quarterback has to have the clearest mind in sport. to find a way through chaos and patrick mahomes has that devastating cam. the closest you get to a quarterback in rugby union is probably the fly—half. scotland have left finn russell out of their six nations squad for the second week running. he was disciplined after a late night drinking session and he missed the defeat to ireland in dublin over the weekend, and he hasn't been
6:37 pm
brought back in for the calcutta cup clash at murrayfield. the 27—year—old fly—half is one of their most creative players, a matchwinner, and can scotland really afford to leave him out? earlier i spoke to former scotland captain rory lawson. he isa he is a huge loss to the scotland squad but i thought adam coped very well at the weekend, rory hutchinson can come off the bench, it will be interesting weather to see if he is on the bench this weekend. ultimately, if i take myself into that squad, probably two weeks ago today, when this problem was addressed and he left the squad, that was when the coaches and players would have looked forward and focus their minds on the job in hand, understanding he was not going to be part of the preparation for ireland but i am sure there were internal discussions to say this would be the same for england. and let's see what happens after this england game. for the squad and gregor townsend, all eyes are
6:38 pm
focusing on england for saturday. rewind 20 years or so, this probably wouldn't be an issue but it is a professional sport. there has to be discipline. can you understand why he is being left out, if he has gone overboard with his drinking and the tea m overboard with his drinking and the team hotel? if you breach protocol, there are consequences. there are consequences in every walk of life. iam sure consequences in every walk of life. i am sure that discussion has been had and ultimately, that has been and gone. we can continue to talk about it. there was a lot of good by about it. there was a lot of good rugby at the weekend and naturally finn's non—involvement with scotland is something that will continue to bubble away, none of us have any idea what will happen moving forward but i think if you detach from the public and media view on things, if you take yourself into the squad, scotla nd you take yourself into the squad, scotland have improvements to make but they built a decent foundation on saturday to be able to go into a

cup game with confidence. on saturday to be able to go into a cup game with confidencem on saturday to be able to go into a cup game with confidence. it is usually disappointing for finn russell himself to be missing any game for scotland, but such a huge one being the calcutta cup against england. yes, especially when you think about the past two outings for scotla nd think about the past two outings for scotland against it would have entailed. whether a 25 metre left—handed pass that went over the head of jonathan left—handed pass that went over the head ofjonathan joe says left—handed pass that went over the head ofjonathanjoe says it's left—handed pass that went over the head ofjonathanjoe says its hands that led to a shown commitment to try were some outstanding kicks and intercepts at murrayfield, or whether it was last year at twickenham whereby some words at half—time and it inspired second half—time and it inspired second half took scotland within a whisker ofa win half took scotland within a whisker of a win since 1983. one of my welsh friends hit the nail on the head
