bottom tom of the premier league also coming up in the programme... will tiger woods will fit to defend his title at augusta? hello, and welcome to sportsday, all the news from the premier league to come, but we're going to start with the six nations, and that huge game at twickenham between england and wales. it is approaching full—time. the latest score is england are 33, wales have 16. england need a victory to keeple a live their hopes of winning the title. favourites france of course are playing scotla nd france of course are playing scotland tomorrow. wales players are wearing black arm bands to show their respect for the former international matthewj watkins who died today aged 41 after a lock

battle with cancer. twickenham is such a tough place for wales and it didn't take england long to assert their authority. watson dived over the line and put england ahead which they increased to 20 points to nine ahead by half—time. for the wales manager he must have put a rocket up his side. this try was magnificent. surely favourite for try of the championship. tipuric taking the glory between the posts and the battle started. these sides never disappoint. england came back, tuilagi with an easy try. 74 minutes on the clock so six minutes to go, wales are piling on the pressure at the moment. they have been threatening to score genk but 33-16 to have been threatening to score genk but 33—16 to england. in the women's six nations england claimed the triple crown after thrashing wales 66—7. there was nearly 11,000 people at the stoop — that's a record for an england women's game

outside of the world cup, and the red roses rose to the occasion, scoring ten tries in total, inculding this solo effort from katy daley—mclean. england are now one win away from a second successive grand slam, but they don't know when they'll get to play their game with italy because of the coronavirus and poppy cleall was asked after the game if this has been playing on the minds of the squad. we are match going on in the premier league now. burnley are leading spurs. it is the second half, 47 minutes on the clock but liverpool arejust minutes on the clock but liverpool are just three wins or nine points if you like away from that first premier league title. their fans have craved for it so long. it is 30 year since their last league teat. there were some nerves at anfield ahead of kick off against bournemouth, with liverpool having lost in the league for the first time last season time out and for a while they looked to be struggling with the weight of expectation before normal service resumed.

when things aren't going your way, it's always nice to return to home comforts. three successive away defeats had seen liverpool's magnificent season just begin to stutter. bournemouth have been stuttering for too long, but they did start strongly at anfield. too strongly for liverpool's liking. no foul for this challenge and, moments later, bournemouth were ahead. liverpool needed a response, they got one vie a helping hand. simpson dithered and delayed, mane was direct. salah clinical. a goal on his 100th premier league appearance and goal that changed the momentum. liverpool now on top and soon in front. front. anfield found its roar again. if you are going to win a league title you need everyone to play their part. step forward james milner, leading by example. the home side pushed for a third, mane came close. firmino should have done better. in the end two goals were

enough, a record—breaking 22nd home league win in a row. three more will bring the title home. their manager is taking it game by game. we have 82 points which is really nice, and, so now we have to fight, carry on fighting, tuesday, and monday, and saturday, i think, so and monday, and saturday, i think, so that is how it is now, so, yeah, we will, we have to give everybody who wants the point from us a proper fight and that is what we did today and that is it. before we go to the football. in the ruing by tuilagi has been sent off for england. although they have a big lead it doesn't take long to make up those points so interesting for england they are down to 13

players. austin, while that was going on, spurs have scored a penalty. dele alli. so it is 1—1. i can see on the monitors there. half an hourto go. can see on the monitors there. half an hour to go. but a big battle at the bottom with the games this afternoon this 3.00 kick offs but sheffield united, we will start there, because what a season they continue to have, we have said it before, but their fans continue to have, we have said it before, but theirfans may continue to have, we have said it before, but their fans may must be questioning what the fuss is about in the top flight. they are up to sixth in another win. they beat norwich 1—0, so that means norwich stay bottom. seven points from safety, now 12 months ago, this was a championship fixture, norwich eventually going on to edge out sheffield united to the title last season. sheffield united to the title last season. but what contrasting fortu nes season. but what contrasting fortunes they have had since. norwich fighting for their leavings and sheffield looking at a possible place in europe. their main man was billy sharpe and he was back in the goals with their opener this

afternoon. a deserved lead from them, but norwich were inches away from an equaliser in the second half as well. well. you can see the ball as well. well. you can see the ball a few inches away from the line, but it was cleared by their goalkeeper dean henderson what a game he had. so sheffield united are only two points off the top for now. as i said, lots to thank dean henderson for. the manager, he is not an easy man to impress. how has he got man of the match? he has only made a couple of save, he hasn't had to run round for 90 minute, he stands in the goal and ball comes to him, he does what he has to do. and he has done what he needed to do today for the team. we will stay at the bottom. its only goal difference keeping west ham out of the bottom three place, but when you need a win, the last team you wa nt to you need a win, the last team you want to face if you are david moyes is arsenal. no manager in premier league history has played a team as

many times without winning a match, in15 games many times without winning a match, in 15 games before the game today, he drew four, and he lost 11 of them. and his team, well, they couldn't help him break that trend. they were beaten. west ham flew out the block, they were the better side earlier on, bowen hitting the post in the first few minutes of the game but that was as close as they got. it looked destined for a 0—0 draw until lacazette put the ball in with a few minutes to go. it was initially, ruled out for offside by var came to arsenal's rescue. that was all they needed so a boost arsenal and their hopes of finishing in the top four. they are five points off. west ham will have backbench gutted not to have taken a point because they will be hard to come by now. wolves, tottenham and chelsea next. we done really well but the result wasn't good. mistakes we re but the result wasn't good. mistakes were up front. we had chances to win

game, chances to score goal, we didn't get them. we made mistakes defensively but the opportunities we re defensively but the opportunities were there today, to win the game and we didn't take them. seven days ago watford made the entire football world stand up and take note with that famous victory over liverpool, you will remember, but today it was back to reality, with a bit of a bang. a defeat away against crystal palace at sell hurst parks. an eighth league goal for ayew, palace at sell hurst parks. an eighth league goalfor ayew, his goal enough to give them a straight win in the premier league. not a bad return for that man there. roy hodgson. as for watford, the highs of beating liverpool, they are long forgotten. like west ham they are only above the bottom three on goal difference. not one enough points from a losing position. we haven't done it. we have not been able to get back in into games, but, that will change,

if the players show the sorts of qualities and desires they have done today, and have done most match days in my time here. it has been, they have shown a lot of endeavour and we know that we have got goals in us today, didn't go for us. two of the 3.00 kick offs to mention. newcastle put some distance between them and the bottom three with a 1—0 win away at southampton and the other result as well, a draw between brighton and wolves, i can see it is one all in the late game between burnley and totte n ha m the late game between burnley and tottenham as well. time to go to the bottom of table. this is how it stands after the games today. norwich still a long way from safety. bottom there, and then, bournemouth, watford and west ham, all three of them beaten today and all three of them beaten today and all three of them beaten today and all three locked on 27 points. goal difference keeping a couple of them out of the bottom three. i now we area out of the bottom three. i now we are a long way from the end of the season. are a long way from the end of the season. i can't remember it being this close in that number of teams

for a long time. a lot of team, apart from norwich, all five times ina apart from norwich, all five times in a row. celtic are 16 points clear at the top of the league, thanks to a 5—0 win today. leigh griffiths the star with a hat—trick, rangers play tomorrow, hearts remain bottom the league after a one all draw with motherwell. all today's score and reaction on the sport website and app. let's run through some of today's other football headlines. leeds are back at the tom of the championship,er after beating huddersfield. it theirfifth championship,er after beating huddersfield. it their fifth win in a row and they haven't conceded a goal in that time. they go ahead of west brom. fulham missed out on the chance to keep pace with the top two

with a draw against bristol city. fulham stay third. bristol are outside of the play off place, all the results are on the website and app. is and the brazilian football legend ronaldo has been arrested in brazil for allegedly using a fake passport. he and his brother deny any wrongdoing. three more premier league games to come. in the squad is gomes. he made a return to first team action after a return to first team action after a horrific injury in their match against spurs. the 26—year—old suffered a fracture dislocation of his ankle, in a challenge, and while the physical scars have heeled, gomes told us there are still some mental hurdles to overcome. gomes told us there are still some mental hurdles to overcomelj remember everything about what happened, even when the doctor

wa nted happened, even when the doctor wanted to put my ankle in the right place. i was aware of everything. obviously i was in pain but mentally i was struggling. trying to figure out why i tried to do something different or possible, it is not the type of injury that i could expect to have in my career. sometimes you can't avoid that, things happen. when we think about players recovering from injury, we don't a lwa ys recovering from injury, we don't always think so much about what your families are going through, it must be incredible difficult for them as well. the journey was tough for me, buzz wasn't all about myself. like say, family, friends, people close to us, they suffer as well, so, it is not the type of thing, like my pa rents would is not the type of thing, like my parents would like to see, for them as well. the journey was tough for me, buzz wasn't all about myself. like say, family, friends, people

close to us, they suffer as well, so, it is not the type of thing, like my parents would like to see, like, suffering like that —— their son suffering like that. everybody round me they were brilliant, the way they gave me support. i tried to avoid the phone the first three or four day, just taking time myself, to understand what happened, what's going on next, but basically i had a lot of people texting me. danny welbeck had a really bad injury as well, aaron ramsay, alan shearer. alan shearer? yes, it was unbelievable on the honest. everybody was worrying about me and that felt really good. it is so good to see you back and so quickly, 112 day, that is nothing! looks like it was, yesterday, but actually it was a really long journey, at least for me, with ups and downs and moment, really good moment, but i am quite happy. let us focus on the shebelieves cup. england have the chance to get their tournament back on track tomorrow when they play japan. we will hear

from phil neville in the next few hours and we has had plenty of time to reflect on that opening defeat to the us. let us speak to our sports correspondent katie gornall now, who is in newjersey for us. katie, this is in newjersey for us. katie, this is turning into a very important game for england and fill neville, given they have now lost six of their last nine games. that opening defeat to the us. let us speak to oui’ defeat to the us. let us speak to our sports correspondent katie gornall now, who is in newjersey for us. katie, this is turning into a very important game for england and fill neville, given they have now lost six of their last nine games. -- phil. you are right. it is a huge game, notjust -- phil. you are right. it is a huge game, not just for their hopes -- phil. you are right. it is a huge game, notjust for their hopes of retaining the shebelieves cup but to arrest this worrying run of form, it is two wins in eight for phil neville's side and they were scrappy against portugal and the czech republic. while you wow you could say there is no shame in losing to the usa, they are the world champions after all, it was the manner of the performance, the manner of the performance, the manner of the defeat which did little to suggest they are getting closer to the usa, and they are getting closer to phil neville's ambition of overhauling them and

becoming the world's best team. it was a disappointing night for them, but i think however you look at it, the pressure is on phillel neville at the moment and only a win against japan will stop that pressure from intensifying. looking at it from a wider scale, how crucial is this tournament for england and phil? it is an olympic year, the players will wa nt to is an olympic year, the players will want to be in that great britain squad. it is a vitally important tournament, because this is the only chance, really, that these players will have to play a game that matters really competitive football before some of them are selected and walking out for team gb at the olympics, now, team gb don't have qualifier, england qualified them when they finished fourth at the world cup. this is one of the few chances they will get to play their way into the squad. it is important from a preparation point of view, this is a gruelling schedule here at the shebelieves cup, we have three

games in seven day, the teams are travelling vast distances as well and the climate changes from game to game as well. it was hot and humid in orlando, it is crisp and cold here it is all things they could be faced with when they go to japan, it is all vital preparation. more than anything, tomorrow, england will need to prove their doubters wrong. i think so. i think what they need isa win, i think so. i think what they need is a win, first and foremost but a performance that shows that the plan is working, for phil neville's side. i think expectations were tempered what we we heard before the tournament started they would be without lucy bronze, a world class player, their best and the inform beth mead who named a young squad here, expectations were tempered slightly, but still, they are expecting to do well and perform well. they are up against japan next, japan are also a very young side. they are a team in transition

too. they lost their first game 3—1 against spain, a few defensive m ista kes against spain, a few defensive mistakes there and so they will be looking for a deephenomenon sieve reaction, in newjersey, should be an intriguing contest. thank you for talking to us. you can follow coverage of the match against japan tomorrow, that is on bbc four, the iplayer and the bbc sport website from seven. thank you. right, let us move on. i have to give you an update on the wales or england, wales six nations game but a it was really close in the end. i know i said, there is a big score to make up, they were 33-16 big score to make up, they were 33—16 down wales but full—time it was 33—30, so have tuilagi sent off made a difference. england have their hopes kept alive. we will move on to golf. when tiger woods won his fifth

masters title last year, it signalled one of the greatest comebacks in the history of sport. it had been 11 years since he'd won a major, following serious knee and back problems, as well as some well—documented scandals off the course. so his fans will be on tenterhooks to find out if woods will be fit to play in this year's masters, after he announced he's struggling with a stiff back and has pulled—out of next week's players championship. earlier i spoke with the bbc‘s golf correspondent ian carter. he had a stiff back the last time that he played. that was in mid—february in los angeles, and didn't play at his best in tournament that is very important to him. he is the principle supporter of that event, so that was a disappointment. we haven't seen him play since, but i think this is a big blow, and it is certainly an indicator that things are far from right, because he would have wanted to play the players‘ championship. it's to play the players‘ championship. it‘s the biggest outside the four majors and it leaves him perilously short of stroke play warm up for the masters and he is the champion there, and that is coming up

obviously within the month. what tiger woods has proved time and time again, if anyone can bring it in time to win a big one he can. yes, you write him off at your peril. when he turns up, plays, he says it is to win and you have to take him on face value that the point and say, yes, you must be fit. that is the big question mark, that is the big priority right now, and i think thatis big priority right now, and i think that is why he is taking no chances with sawgrass next week, we wants to be as fit as he can for augusta, he knows when he is fit he has the game that can still win there, he is on 15 major title, that is three behind the record held byjack nicholas, the record held byjack nicholas, the masters offers his best chance of adding to that major tally but that will be impossible if he can‘t find the necessary fitness. it is a ryder cup year, never a strong point for woods, but he is so important it would be great for everyone if he club. it would, and he shared his

credentials from a team as captain. he played quite beautifully at royal melbourne, they would love to see him there, but as you point out, his record in the ryder cup is not good at all. and more often than not when he plays europe winds. to padraig harrington might be hoping he is there. but it a long way off. there is isa there. but it a long way off. there is is a lot of golf to be played. the big question mark at this stage is how much of that golf will be played by tiger woods? to the cutrone which is having a big impact on world sport. the barcelona marathon is there is is a lot of golf to be played. the big question mark at this stage is how much of that golf will be played by tiger woods? to the cutrone which is having a big impact on world sport. the barcelona marathon is the latest —— event affected. scotland‘s game has been postponed

after one of the scottish players has tested positive for the cutrone. the player is being treated but is otherwise well. well. seven members of the staff are in self isolation. england‘s, cricketer also be keeping their distance from members of the media during their tour of slang van, it is part of a range of measures they are taking as parent ofa measures they are taking as parent of a proactive approach to protect themselves from the outbreak. the basketball star rewrong james said he would refuse to play the m ba decided to play games behind closed doors of. james, who plays for the los angeles lakers says he only ca res los angeles lakers says he only cares about playing for his team—mates and the fans. let us bring you up—to—date with some of the other stories are. joseph are archer is unlikely to play in the indian premier league as he continues to recover from an elbow injury. jo konta has a semifinal to look forward to

# swing low sweet chariot # swing low sweet chariot # coming for to carry me home. # it was previously thought it was sung for the first time in 1988 when chris oti got a hat—trick for england but the rugby museum says this is a first nod to ofia‘s nickname. i can‘t believe it started in the ‘80s. i thought it had been going on forever. slightly dubious history! there we go. that is it from katie and myself. we will have another full round—up for you, though, at 7.30. join us then.

for the greater part of afternoon. it wasn‘t doom and gloom everywhere, only had to come down as far as leeds, it was a decent afternoon. further south and east into scotland for a while. it was lovely there, but you will get the sense that, yes, as the isobars squeeze together, that rain band starts to move further to the east, we are eventually going to see a spell of windy weather and also a spell of wet weather, for some of you it will come through into the wee small hour, it might be strong enough with the rain lashing down, just to be enough to wake you up perhaps, but, at least it is on the move. but the combination following on behind of wind, cloud, showery activity, keeping many of us frost—free as we start the new day on sunday. you

will have to be up early to see the re m na nts of will have to be up early to see the remnants of the rain in east anglia and kent. it zips away and without being too clever about it it will be a day of sunshine and blustery shower, the wind not as strong as you will see seen it through the course testify day or overnight. temperatures hanging on into double figures but a fresher feel behind that weather front, despite the presence of decent sunny spells which linger on, and then we will keep the showers going, primarily the heaviest of them into central and western parts but the odd one or two breaking through to the east on the strength of the wind. again as we start the new week, many areas staying frost—free in the sheltered glenns you could will close to freezing. monday, something of a different kettle of fish, because not unusually, for this time of year, or indeed this year we have another speu indeed this year we have another spell of weather, looming large. northern ireland you get to see it first given it is coming in from the

atla ntic first given it is coming in from the atlantic and slowly but surely it comes into the western side of scotland, the western side of england. here we are, mid afternoon. so the eastern areas eventually like today, you will get to see that combination of wet and windy fare but it will take a time, so if you needed a line of washing out you would make it to ipswich way but not in belfast. there you see the week, once we get rid of the rain come tuesday, then it a combination of showery and blustery conditions, tuesday, looking really warm, across some eastern areas, i will see you in about half an hour.
