can the relationship between finn russell and gregor townsend by repaired? cycling, sailing and running. find out why britain's richest man is now investing in formula one. also coming up in the programme... gb basketball‘s 0lympic dreams are over. but what does the future hold for the players and the sport? politics if you went outside over the weekend, or even looked out of the window, you'd probably have seen the effect of storm ciara. sport wasn't immune. at the etihad stadium, flooding nearby caused manchester city's premier league game with west ham to be called off along with wsl, super league games and racing meets. in the women's six nations —

scotland — england in glasgow was also hit with conditions at scotstoun in glasgow unsafe. they did manage to get the game on today, with the wind and rain replaced by freezing conditions and snow — and it was played behind closed doors at murrayfield. in a moment — the views of former wales captain phillipa tuttiett but firstjo currie reports on a cold but comfortable win for england. enough to send a shiver down the spine, arriving at murrayfield for a six nations match with no crowd to watch after storm ciara postpone the fixture yesterday to date was being played behind closed doors for safety reasons. there was a brief hint of sunshine for england's opening points, eventually powering through to touch down. more tries we re through to touch down. more tries were to follow with abbey dow claiming the pick of the bunch in the first half running almost the length of the pitch as scotland struggled to get to grips with the

champions. emily scattered on target with the conversion sending england in at the break with a healthy lead. with the change of ends came a change in the weather, sleet, snow and freezing conditions to test the hardiest of athletes but england adjusted quicker scoring five more unanswered tries. emily scott ploughed through the scotland defence to start the second half. as temperatures plummeted players had to find new ways to keep themselves warm. scotland's miserable afternoon was summed up by this mix—up at the back. she throws the ball to herself... with the easiest of touchdowns. scotla nd with the easiest of touchdowns. scotland self—destruct. she added the final conversion to not only sign off on a dominant win and keep their grand slam hopes on track but also see have become england women's all—time leading points scorer. you don't often play in the snow like this but i think we played well

and did the best we could in the conditions. a white out at murrayfield that will live long in the memory. we can speak to former wales captain and now bbc pundit phillipa tuttiett. a word on that game first. glad you weren't playing in that? gosh, i know! it depends which game you're talking about because ireland versus wales was something horrendous and then today's fixture is welcome scotland versus england, oh, my days, gives a whole new perspective to being a tough rugby player. you mentioned the island — wales game yesterday, driving rain and winds and then we discovered the hot water nozzle —— was not working in the wales changing room. when i first heard that my initial feeling was anger because as a player i've played in very cold conditions and just the one thing that you want is to have a hot

shower afterwards, not only to make myself feel at the whole bit better but it also is important part of recovery protocol and the really crazy thing is they had to go from that fixture straight to the airport, straight to fly home to some of them did not even shower, they just clean themselves some of them did not even shower, theyjust clean themselves up as best they could. ireland have apologised and said it was due to the stormy conditions yesterday and hot water was made available at one point. back to today's game at murrayfield, they got it ahead but it was played behind closed doors talk was that the right decision because a few yea rs the right decision because a few years ago in the main‘s tournament france versus ireland was replayed in pretty much in front of a full crowd when their game was called off. it's tricky, especially with the likes of england, they get a very good following said there would have been lots of disappointed fans and equally for scotland as well, they love to play against england so they will have been a lot of disappointed

fa ns will have been a lot of disappointed fans but we are talking about different concept here, the scotland women are not professional so you have to remember they are taking time off work. can anybody stop england right now? i don't think they can. france gave ita i don't think they can. france gave it a good go, they are in a bit of a middle of the node position, if you will, they are not fully professional but they get subsidies so professional but they get subsidies so they are on their way and that is a lwa ys so they are on their way and that is always the big game of the six nations, the crunch game, and they pushed england this year but, really, for the rest of the team is none of them will come close to england which is such a shame because a lot of people say england had it easy because they are professional, i don't agree with that at all. these women are incredibly talented and they have been given the opportunity to be professional. in the main‘s tournament scotland's

opening two defeats have been without arguably their best player. fly half finn russell has fallen out with coach gregor townsend. he was banished from the squad for breaching team protocol then told the sunday times the he and towsend clashed a lot and that it's not possible for him to be involved? the scotland coach has responded as andy burke can tell us. it's disappointing that we've had a group that has worked really hard for three weeks and we have an opportunity to bring players into that group top players coming back from injury, iwas that group top players coming back from injury, i was also hoping he andi from injury, i was also hoping he and i could have a similar discussion like the one we had on monday night and we'd be in a situation where he could come back but obviously things have changed with what he said in the media. can you talk to him now? yes, but it doesn't look like there will be any

change to align himself to the agreed standards of behaviour. that's kind of grim isn't it? it's disappointing for supporters but ultimately what we believe will lead to our success is a team that is together and that can play to their potential and we've also some really good players that are showing 110w really good players that are showing now when they get the opportunity they can play very well at test level. there is life after finn russell? this group have shown in training and games they've been playing consistently well, the young players, not just young consistently well, the young players, notjust young players put new players into the team have grabbed that opportunity, it's important we build on that and improve over the next three or four weeks, especially at the last three games in the championship. you can read more games in the championship. you can read more on games in the championship. you can read more on gregor townsend on our website. some other stories catching our eye. jonny gray has been ruled out

of the rest of the six nations. the scotland lock has a hand injury, having featured in the defeats to ireland and england. uk champion ding junhui is through to the second round of the welsh 0pen snooker after a 11—2 win over marco fu. mark williams, matthew stevens and stephen maguire are also through. and pakistan have won the first test match against bangladesh by an innings and 44 runs in rawalpindi. yasir shah took four for 26 as the touring side were bowled out for 168 in their second innings. from the other one has made a pledge to be carbon neutral by 2013. —— 2030. owned by britain's richest man sirjim ratcliffe, they've invested millions in sport in the last couple of years, laura scott was at the royal

automobile club in london today. ineos now enters the fast lane. for its billionaire founder sirjim ratcliffe it's the latest to drive the synergy between technology and sport. but as with ineos‘s previous sporting investment it will come with a degree of scrutiny from those who have accused the form of greenwashing, not least because of formula 1's pledge to be carbon neutral by 2030. sirjim ratcliffe sees no issue. if cars reduce their weight they reduced their admissions. the engine is the most thermally effective engine on the earth. there are good things that come out of formula 1 that then passed down into automotive industry because it's at the cutting—edge of technology. if you flip over to ineos that is quite a strong argument one of the

potential solutions to the carbon problem is a chemistry problem which is if you take the biggest fuel in the world, natural gas, methane, if you can the carbon from that and you can use hydrogen when you burn hydrogen the by—product is water. you prevent the carbon going into the atmosphere. that is a chemistry problem. so i don't see it as being a contradiction. there was supposed to bea a contradiction. there was supposed to be a big protest for the tour of yorkshire, that did not materialise. it does get talked about a bit but i think the people who really follow it upjust think the people who really follow it up just passionate about sport, those people you see at the sight of the node for cycling or at the circuit for formula 1. i suppose it isa circuit for formula 1. i suppose it is a platform for protest but i have not bumped into it perfectly. ineos‘s first season with mercedes to be memorable, they are focused on helping lewis hamilton equal michael

schumacher‘s record of seven championship titles. beyond this season championship titles. beyond this season hamilton's future with mercedes remains uncertain, out team boss hopes the partnership can continue. you need to have the best driver with the best car and best engineering and form a partnership thatis engineering and form a partnership that is the winning formula. and lewis today is clearly at the peak of his game, he is one of the best drivers and going forward, it's about identifying the young talents and it is never a static situation, formula 1 team always develops dynamically. ineos‘s arrival comes at the same are not just hamilton's ineos‘s arrival comes at the same are notjust hamilton's future is the subject of speculation but that of the team boss and the whole team but the bbc‘s chief formula 1 writer andrew benson sees no end in sight for the successful team. there are questions about mercedes

but will they stay in formula 1, well lewis hamilton stay with the team, well the team boss stay? what this does is another piece of the jigsaw at that point in the direction that suggests they will all stay together for the foreseeable future. andrew benson finishing that report. stay with us on sportsday. lots to come, including... a look at ireland's hockey team — six months out from their first olympic games. we are there to compete, we are not a team just they are to make up the numbers so stay tuned and see what happens! we've got a bit of an olympic flavour to finish sportsday today. it was a weekend for great britain's women that started with optimism that they could qualify for an 0lympics for the first time. one win would likely have done it. the opening defeat to china was not the ideal start, but the real blow came saturday when they lost to south korea on saturday.
