6:33 pm
around contact with hugo keenan's head. 20 minutes to g and around 20 minutes to go in that one, and it is currently 10—90 ireland, so england have clawed some more points back. very close there, ireland will want to claim that grand slam. around 20 minutes to go in that match in dublin. france did what they had to do to keep alive their hopes of retaining the six nations. they secured with a bonus point 41—28 win against wales in paris. ben croucher reports. daring to dream, only a win would do for france, regardless of what would later go down in dublin. it wasn't the ideal start, though. 35 later go down in dublin. it wasn't the ideal start, though. 7.5 minutes of early pressure, _ the ideal start, though. 7.5 minutes of early pressure, the _ the ideal start, though. 7.5 minutes of early pressure, the french - the ideal start, though. 7.5 minutes of early pressure, the french dam l the ideal start, though. 7.5 minutes| of early pressure, the french dam is broken. ~ ., , of early pressure, the french dam is broken. ~ ., broken. winning the title was always a lona broken. winning the title was always a long shot. — broken. winning the title was always a long shot. but _ broken. winning the title was always a long shot, but one _ broken. winning the title was always a long shot, but one they _ broken. winning the title was always a long shot, but one they were - a long shot, but one they were intent of giving a go, despite the early setback, there was... emir; intent of giving a go, despite the early setback, there was... only one winner. early setback, there was... only one winner- wales _ early setback, there was... only one winner. wales were _ early setback, there was... only one winner. wales were outmuscled - early setback, there was... only one winner. wales were outmuscled in l early setback, there was... only one i winner. wales were outmuscled in the fast feet, winner. wales were outmuscled in the fast feet. and — winner. wales were outmuscled in the fast feet, and they _

6:36 pm
week lit up the tournament. in the absence of finn russell, blair kinghorn took his opportunity to shine, finding gaps in the italian backline, i2—6 shine, finding gaps in the italian backline, 12—6 at the break. the scotland pressure continued in the second half, kinghorn muscling his way over for a second try. but then a momentum shift, three down the touchline for the finish and an italy penalty cutting the difference down to one score. 0n the pitch, suddenly scotland resorting to last—ditch tackle to preserve their lead. a try to live long in the memory, van der merwe and kinghorn combining to send scotland the length of the pitch, a hat—trick for kinghorn, a bonus point win to finish off a 56 nations. —— a fine
6:37 pm
six nations. so a big win for scotland against an italy side who failed to make the most of early opportunities. scotland's head coach gregor townsend trusted his players to get the job done and finish the campaign positively. an eventful one, i think it started with such a high, winning at twickenham in the way we did and to come from behind and score at right, a real good team try at the end of the game, that was brilliant for the squad to follow that up with a record win against wales was the best we could have imagined. the past two weeks, maybe not as good overall in the 80 minutes, you get that in sport and we're just glad we finished with a win. that in sport and we're 'ust glad we finished with a win.— finished with a win. scotland finished with a win. scotland finished their _ finished with a win. scotland finished their opportunities, | finished with a win. scotland i finished their opportunities, we didnt— finished their opportunities, we didn't finish hours was that we had some _ didn't finish hours was that we had some opportunities. we keep turning up some opportunities. we keep turning up at the _ some opportunities. we keep turning up at the office and hopefully a bounce — up at the office and hopefully a bounce will go our way. they gave it everything _ bounce will go our way. they gave it everything and we gave it everything, we didn't quite execute a couple _ everything, we didn't quite execute a couple of— everything, we didn't quite execute a couple of times and that was the ball game —

6:39 pm
with a li—2 win over wolves. leeds were 3—0 up after the hour mark before julen lopetegui's side threatened a comeback, with goals from jonny and matheus cunha. however, jonny�*s sending off ultimately turned the momentum back in leeds' favour, and rodrigo's goal in the seventh minute of injury time, sealed the three points and moves them all the way up to ilith, just a point behind wolves. at the end of the game, we suffered. we suffered a lot. but we knew before coming that it would be a really demanding game, after scoring three goals, we may be thought that the game is different. but this competition is always very demanding and you have to be ready for that. yes, of course we have lost three important — yes, of course we have lost three important points. but we always have
