—— busy. also coming up more injury problems for tiger woods, will he be fit to defend his masters title at augusta? welcome to the programme. football coming up but we are starting with the six nations. once again england and wales provided us with a fan neating game of rugby. 33—30 it finished. let us go live to twickenham where our reporter has been watching the action, hello there adam. england sailed close to there adam. england sailed close to the wind, didn't they? these two sides never disappoint and wales, they were looking for that rare victory and they pushed them all the way. yes, it has been quite some afternoon here at twickenham. the game for large parts of it was

unyieshl as many of the circumstances surrounding it. you remember coming into the game, the fa ns remember coming into the game, the fans arriving here at twickenham, we re fans arriving here at twickenham, were greeted with walls of hand sanitisers and health officials on hand dishing out advice, the bid to stem the spread of coronavirus very much front and centre in the build up much front and centre in the build up to this match. but given the postponements and precaution, i think many of the fan, the one i was speaking to were delighted this match was go i ade, and as you say what a match it was. england got off toa what a match it was. england got off to a blistering start, watson's try after just a few to a blistering start, watson's try afterjust a few moments. he danced his way to the line, wales defence just could not cope with him. that gave england the perfect start, have however, wales managed to keep in touch with penalties and just before half—time, england struck what they thought for the first half at least was the decisive blow. daley getting

the ball out wide before squeezing in at the corner. that gave him, england a great lead at the half—time, but wales came out at blistering pace. a try from tipuric they thought for the first half at least was the decisive blow. daley getting the ball out wide before squeezing in at the corner. that gave him, england a great lead at the half—time, but wales came out at blistering pace. a try from tipuric straight from the tick —— kick off. he went from one end of the pitch to the other. it is one of the tries of the other. it is one of the tries of the tournament so far. quite extraordinary try. that gave wales an extraordinary boost. tuilagi pulled one back for england, and that the point you thought england we re that the point you thought england were going to see this one out. but tuilagi was sent off for this shoulder charge on the wales winger george north. it was a straight red card, it took a while to reach that decision but red card it was, and one player in the sin—bin already england were down to 13, wales making the most of those extra numbers scoring two late tries

through biggar and tipuric. but 33-30 the through biggar and tipuric. but 33—30 the final score, it was enough to sealfor 33—30 the final score, it was enough to seal for england the triple crown. they said very much in the build up to this, the triple crown wasn't something that was particularly in their thoughts, they will be delighted nonetheless to have secured it. for wales, that is their third conebbing istive defeat. not the start to their six nations they would have liked. —— consecutive. england as you said can still win this six nations, france will have plenty to say about that, they can still win the grand slam. they play scotland tomorrow but this six nations is as unpredictable as it is tight. thank you. the women's six nations england claim the triple crown after thrashing wales 66—7. they were nearly 11,000 people at the stoop, with some fun fancy dress too. that isa with some fun fancy dress too. that is a record for an england women's

game outside of the world cup and they were treated with plenty of tries too. ten in total including this one from katie daley—mclean. england are one win away from a second grand slam but they don't know when they will play their game against italy, because of the coronavirus. let us move on the football. on the premier league. liverpool are now just three wins or if you like nine points away from ta first premier league title that the fans have craved for so long. there were some nerves though ahead of kick off against bournemouth with liverpool having lost in the league for the first time this season last time out and they looked to be struggling with the weight of expectation. when things aren't going your way it is nice to return to home comforts. three successive away defeats has seen liverpool's season just start to stutter. bournemouth have been stuttering for too long. starting the day in the relegation zone, they needed to show some fight. wilson provided it. no foul on gomes, play

allowed to continue and wilson able to finish what he started. liverpool needed a response, they got one, via a huge helping hand. simpson dithered and delayed. mane was direct. salah clinical. a goal on his 100th premier league appearance and a goal that changed the momentum. liverpool on top an soon in front, anfield found its roar once again. and if you are going to win a title you need everyone to play their part. step forward captainjames 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. so just three bring the title home. sojust three more bring the title home. so just three more wins needed for lip to take their first premier league title and their first for 30 year, their manager as you would expect is taking it game by game

we have 82 points which is nice, we have to carry on fighting, tuesday, then monday, and saturday, i think, so that is how it is now, so, yeah, we will, we have to give everyone who wants the points from us, a proper properfight who wants the points from us, a proper proper fight hand who wants the points from us, a proper properfight hand is who wants the points from us, a proper proper fight hand is what we did today, and yeah, that's it. there there is lots more going on in the premier league. austin has all the premier league. austin has all the details for us, especially with the details for us, especially with the battle at the bottom. lots of games all—important ones at the bottom of the table today. but i will start with a really interesting result, another big win for sheffield united, what a season they are having. theirfan, they must be questioning what all the fuss is about in the top flights right now. they are up to sixth, after another win, they beat norwich 1—0 at bramall lane, so that means norwich of course stay bottom. seven points from safety for them. just 12 months ago, this was a championship fixture, norwich eventually going on to edge out sheffield united and

lift the championship title. last season. but what contrasting fortu nes season. but what contrasting fortunes they are having right now norwich fighting for their lives and sheffield are eyeing a place if europe. their main man last season was this man, billy sharpe, he was the leading goal scorer and he was backin the leading goal scorer and he was back in the goals again. a deserved lead for them but norwich were inches away from an equalise e you canjust inches away from an equalise e you can just about see the ball there cleared off the line by the goalkeeper dean henderson. he has a brilliant match, so sheffield united, they are only two points off the top four but there is lots to thank that man there. dean henderson for crucial saves today but 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 saves, he hasn't had to run round for 90 minutes. he stands in the goal and the ball comes to him. he does what he has to do, and he has done what he needed to do today for the team. now, the battle at the bottom. it is

only goal difference that is keeping west ham out of those relegation place, but when you need a win, the last tea m place, but when you need a win, the last team you want to face the you are davies moyes is arsenal. no manager in the premier league has played a team as many times without winning, in15 played a team as many times without winning, in 15 matches before today's game he drawn four and lost 11. and his team today, they couldn't help him break the trend. 1-0 couldn't help him break the trend. 1—0 they were beaten at the emirates, west ham were the seam who flew out quickest. bowen hitting the post in the first few minutes but that was as close as they came to a goal. it did look destined for a draw, until alex lacazette pull the ball in late on. it was initially ruled out for offside by v amalfitano came to their rescue. the goal correctly given in the end, and that was all they needed. so a boost for them and their hopes of finishing in the top four, up to ninth now as for west ham they will gutted not to have taken anything from that game because they will

have to find it really hard now to get points from wolves tottenham and chelsea next. we done really well but the result wasn't good. mistakes were up front. we had chances to win the game, chances to score goals, we didn't get them. we made mistakes defensively, but the opportunities were there today, to win the game, and we didn't take them. that win means arsenal are ain't po behind tottenham after spurs could only draw away at burnley. when you are on a poor run of form it can feel like everything is against you. tottenham's eric dyer does at least have his boss's backing following his foray into the crowd after the fa cup defeat to norwich but things didn't get better for him against burnley. his clea ra nce for him against burnley. his clearance giving rodriguez the chance to test the returning lloris. chris wood making the most of the save to claim his 11th goal of the season. burnley were hungry for

more. lloris was managing to keep them at bay but tottenham were struggling to pose any threat. this the best they could manage in the first half. someone needed to give them a helping hand and fortunately for burnley it was their captain ben mee. dele alli's equaliser failed to change the flow of the match though. spurs were desperately hanging on for a point. dyer‘s intervention crucial. as was lloris's. mourinho maintained his personal unbeaten record against burnley and spurs avoided a third straight defeat but a point apiece is not enough for either side's ambitions. is both teams dropping places from where they started. the day. seven days ago, watt fort made the entire football world stand up with that that surprise victory over liverpool but today it was really back to reality, with a bit of a bang. they we re reality, with a bit of a bang. they were beaten away at crystal palace

an ain't league goal from this were beaten away at crystal palace an ain't league goalfrom this man was the difference for palace. his goal enough to give them a third straight win in the premier league. so not a bad return for the manager, who just so not a bad return for the manager, whojust signed so not a bad return for the manager, who just signed a contract extension yesterday. as for watford the highs of beating liverpool long for gotten now. like west ham they are only above the bottom three on goal difference. finally there is time to show you all the results from the 3.00 kick offs, two i haven't mentioned. newcastle put a bit of distance between them and bottom three with a 1—0 win at southampton and wolves and brighton, a 0—0 draw that one, not a classic, probably destined for last spot on match testify day. in scotland, it wasn't too long ago we had really close contest between celtic and rangers for the premiership title but at southampton and wolves and brighton, a 0—0 draw that one, not a classic, probably destined for last spot on match testify day. in scotland, it wasn't too long ago we had really close contest between

celtic and rangers for the premiership title but as rangers have substitutele —— stuttered their rivals have got stronger. 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 of the league after a one all draw with motherwell wind chill all of today's scores and reaction are of course on the bbc sport website and app. let us run through some of the other stories making the headline today. in football and leeds are back at the top of the can championship. it is their firth the top of the can championship. it is theirfirth win in a row and the top of the can championship. it is their firth win in a row and they haven't conceded add goal in that time either. they go ahead of west brom who were held to a goalless draw by swansea. football and leeds are back at the top of the can championship. it is their firth top of the can championship. it is theirfirth win in a row and top of the can championship. it is their firth win in a row and they haven't conceded add goal in that time either. they go ahead of west brom who were held to a goalless draw by swansea. fulham is down —— missed out on a chance to keep pace with top two after a draw with bristol city. fulham are third, bristol are outside of the play off places. all the results reason the bbc sport web site and app and the brazilian football legend ronaldinho has been arrested in paraguay for allegedly using a fake passport to get into the country. he was arrested along with his brother, they both deny any

wrongdoing. now to the shebelieves tournament. we will hear from phil neville now to the shebelieves tournament. we will hearfrom phil neville in the next few hours, he has had plenty of time to reflect on that opening defeat the us. our sports correspondent is in newjersey for us, and katie, this is turning into an important game for england and fill neville, that because they have lost six in we will hear from phil neville in the next few hours, he has had plenty of time to reflect on that opening defeat the us. our sports correspondent is in new jersey for us, and katie, this is turning into an important game for england and fill neville, that because they have lost six in the last nine games. —— phil. you are right. it's a huge game for england this one. notjust because they need a win to stand any chance of retaining the shebelieves cup, but also because they want to stop that worrying run of form that you mentioned there. you could say there is no shame in losing to the usa that. they are the world champions after all. the manner of the performance, and the defeat, in

orlando has done little to suggest they are getting any closer to the usa, to overhauling them as the best tea m usa, to overhauling them as the best team in the world, which is phil anelka's ambition and he stated it repeatedly. if anything it looked like they took a backward step against them in orlando, although when phil neville was asked act that after the game he denied that was the case. there was some positive, lauren health minister the 19—year—old forward had an excellent game. she may get an opportunity in the next game againstjapan a long with some of the other young player. japan lost their first game 3—1. there were a few defensive mistakes in that one. they will want to tighten up but it's a huge game for england and phil neville who is under pressure. he knows only a win will stop that pressure from intensifying. you can of course follow coverage of england's match against japan tomorrow, it is on bbc four, the iplayer and the bbc sport website, from 7.00. now let us move on the golf. when tiger woods won his fifth masers

title it was one of the greatest come back in the history of sport. it had been 11 years since he had won a major following serious knee and back problems as well as some well documented scandals off the course. so fan also be on tenterhooks to find if he will be fit to play in the masters after he said he was struggling with a stiff back. our golf correspondent ian carter says woods is in a race to be fit for augusta. 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 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 at that point and say, yes, you must be fit. that is the big question mark, that is the big priority right now, and i think that is why he is taking no chances with sawgrass next week. he 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 titles, that is three behind the record held by jack nicklaus. 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. it would, and he showed his credentials from the 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 wins. so padraig harrington might be hoping he is there. but it a long way off. there 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 coronavirus. the barcelona marathon is the latest to be postponed. it was meant to be held next sunday by has been moved to 25th october. scotland were supposed to be playing france in the women's six nations today, but that game was also postponed after one of the scottish players tested positive for

the coronavirus. the player has been treated but is described as otherwise well. seven members of the scotla nd otherwise well. seven members of the scotland playing and management staff are in self lice lacing. england's cricketers will be keep their distance from members of the media during their tour of sri lanka. it is part of a range of measures they are taking as part of a proactive approach to protect themselves from the outbreak. finally, the basketball star be wrong statements said he would refuse to play if it was behind closed doors. the league has asked playered to prepare for the possibility but james says he only ca res possibility but james says he only cares about playing for his team—mates and the fans. thank you. let us bring you up—to—date with more of the sporting headlines. jofra archer is unlikely to lay in the indian premier league this year, as he continues to recover from an elbow injury. england say he is ex processing as expected.

jo konta has a semifinal to look forward tonight. she plays the czech marie bouzkova in mexico. it is progress for konta who has gone out in the first round of every tournament she has played this year and there was nearly a big shock at the darts. jason lowe who only won his tour card the darts. jason lowe who only won his tourcard in the darts. jason lowe who only won his tour card in january the darts. jason lowe who only won his tour card injanuary missed the chance to play michael van gerwen in the third round in somerset. to australia next and the final of the women's t20 world cup. holders an host australia play india in melbourne in early hours of tomorrow morning and the organisers hope they will break the record for the biggest crowd at a women's sporting event. jo curry reports from melbourne. australia and india kick off this world cup three weeks' ago in sydney. now the final comes down the same two teams here in melbourne. certainly on paper

australia will start as favourite, they are the defending champions, they are the defending champions, they are the defending champions, they are also the number one ranked side in the world, and they are also the hosts. it it is such a great occasion, something you look back on, we haven't played in front after crowd this big before, that is fine, we need to make sure we deal with that as best we can and enjoy it and smile about what we are experiencing, and how lucky we are to be ina experiencing, and how lucky we are to be in a position that we are to playing this game, so we are looking forward for the chance to play. australia are attempting to lift this trophy for a record fifth time. as for india, they have ever in been toa as for india, they have ever in been to a women's t20 world cup before. they have been a form team. they had that surprise win against australia in the opening game. we need tone i°y in the opening game. we need tone joy this moment, because it is a big, big moment for all the player, and other that just thinking big, big moment for all the player, and other thatjust thinking about what is going to trouble and what is, what are the areas, like can we

trouble you, i think itjust only about be there, enjoy the moment and give your best. organisers of the world cup are hoping to sell out the mcg. it holds over 100,000 thousands fa ns mcg. it holds over 100,000 thousands fans and that would be a record control for any women's sports event. a fitting moment for international women's day and if the cricket wasn't enough to attract fa ns cricket wasn't enough to attract fans the fact they have katy perry performing before and after the final they will get fireworks. a double whammy. a couple of games to bring you in rugby union. exeter are back on top of the table. they beat bath. scoring eight tries in the process , bath. scoring eight tries in the process, elsewhere saracens beat leicester and wasps resurgence continued with a win over gloucester. in rugby league there is one game where draghis beat salford 30-14. now, it is an anthem that is synonymous with england rugby and

twickenham, but why was swing low sweet chariot xung 4 sung at the home of rugby in the first place. it has been solved. it is all to do with to a rugby league player. the rfu reckons it was first sang at twickenham when martin offiah whose nickname was char yet was playing in a sevens match in 1987. # swing low, sweet chariot # swing low, sweet chariot # coming for to carry me home. #. it was previously thought it was supping for the first time in 1988 when chris oti got a hat—trick for england but the curator of the rugby museum says it's the first time as it is aed no to offiah's nickname. i

feel as if we are been singing it for years. best not say too much about that! so just before we go, a reminder of our topal. england beat wales in the six nations. it was a crack over a match. match. it always is between those two sides. wales dragging themselves back in to the game after red card for tuilagi. england can still win the six nations title but probably only if scotla nd nations title but probably only if scotland slip up tomorrow because they are playing, sorry if france slip up tomorrow. get it right! i don't think that is going to happen. we will have to wait and see. that is all from us. we will have more for you throughout the evening. good night. good night.

it has been of those days as a weather freeman hospital has worked slowly but surely into that western side of the british isles, a combination pretty wet and windy, gradually slumping further towards the south and east, we start the new day on sunday and as that front clears away, what will have been a relatively mild pack kept of air will be pushed into the near continent. overnight, you may well be woken up by gusty winds, 40, 50mph, and some heavy rain at time, gradually easing its way down towards east anglia and the south—east, crossing all parts, but quite cloudy skies following on behind. a packet of showers in many area, urged along by a noticeable wind, so it is that combination of cloud and wind and rain that keep many of us frost—free. you will have to be kick in the day across east anglia and the south—east to see the last of that rain, and once it is

away, without being too clever it will be a day of sunshine and shower, some of the showers sharp, the temperatures reallyish for the time of year, single figures in the north of scotland, maybe an 11 or 12 to the south. so, we keep those showers going, into the first part of the evening, the first part of the night, especially in the western area, one or two spots in scotland will see fairly clear skies and there the temperatures will dip away. nothing unusual. many of us are going to start the new week frost—free, temperatures in the range of three to six. now that showery regime doesn't really last too long because fro the west, as we get on into monday, we will bring a combination again of really wet, really windy weather. it will take a time though to show its hand, initially there the morning, into northern ireland, round about lunchtime just begetting into the south—west of scotland. through to the early afternoon, many western areas will have seen that come by be, heavy rain coming which is why

the met office has a yell owe warning for the heart of wales, we could see between monday, tuesday up to 80 millimetres of rain. mild for some, a week to come is a mixture of sunshine and showers. see you later.
