make. this penalty kick made him the highest points scorer in six nations history. it brought ireland into the game. they ducked and dived to go overfor the first game. they ducked and dived to go over for the first try. the whole crowd sent into a frenzy. england suffered another blow as reddy stewart was shown a red card for this dangerous tackle. england down to 14 this dangerous tackle. england down to 1a men with an uphill battle on their hands. 10—6 at the break. owen farrell brought england within a point, but ireland's confidence was back. the grand slam within reach now. she had doubled his tally. they crashed over one more time to seal the victory. dublin is undoubtedly green tonight. well, earlier, france did what they had to do to keep alive their hopes of retaining the six nations. but it wasn't to be, after that ireland result — they secured with a bonus point 41—28 win against wales in paris.

7:35 pm
have more to celebrate for france. for now, those dreams will have to wait. so another disappointing day for the welsh and they finish the tournament with just one win out of their five matches — room for improvement, according to their captain, ken owens. we went out there and set about being brave, which we were. we know what their defences can do and that is what they pride themselves on. for us to score four tries was a huge achievement. we are probably disappointed with some inaccuracies, we left a couple out there and gave them opportunities which they took. we showed enough character to keep building for the future. scotland finished their campaign with a dramatic 26—14 victory over italy which caps off a fine six nations for them. they survived a late surge at murrayfield but, thanks to blair kinghorn�*s hat—trick, came away with the bonus point win. reginaldo rosario reports.
7:36 pm
after back—to—back defeats to france and ireland, scotland looked to wrap up and ireland, scotland looked to wrap up their six nations on a high. despite their italian visitors making a fast start, it was once again van der merwe providing the magic for scotland. his try against england in the opening week lit up the championship, and this one was just as special. italy inched ahead again, but in the absence of the injured finn russell, blair kinghorn took his opportunity to 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, alan century down the line for a touch. nerves in the murrayfield stands and on the pitch, suddenly scotland resorting to last—ditch tackles to preserve their
7:37 pm
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 fine six nations, sending scotland with good momentum towards the world cup. 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. it has been an eventful one, i think it is safe to say. started with such a high, a win at twickenham, scoring a high, a win at twickenham, scoring a really good try at the end of the way we did, that was bullied for the teams. the past two weeks, maybe not as good overall over 80 minutes was to be get that in sport, we are glad we finished with a win. let's turn our attention
7:38 pm
to the football. we'll catch up with all the latest from the premier league in a moment, but let's start with the fa cup. and we're at the quarter final stage this weekend the first of the big games, taking place at the etihad — manchester city are through to the next round, only a few seconds remaining in that match, they are into stoppage time right now. former manchester city captain vincent kompany is back at his old club. he's now in charge at burnley. it has just finished 6—0 there. haaland with three of those goals. another goal fest at the etihad following that 7—0 win over leipsic in the champions league. it was a dramatic day in the premier league, with the main focus on the sides trying to escape the drop. leeds united dragged themselves out of the relegation places with a 11—2 win over wolves.
7:39 pm
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 1ath, just a point behind wolves. at the end of the game, we suffered, it is true. we suffered a lot. but we knew before coming that it could be a very 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. we demanding and you have to be ready for that. ~ ., for that. we have lost three important — for that. we have lost three important points _ for that. we have lost three important points against i for that. we have lost three important points against a l for that. we have lost three - important points against a team. but i am important points against a team. but

7:43 pm
the games where we should have taken points, and a number of time to haven't taken any. today, we gave nothing to much away, which is important. we had to dig in and we have to show that spirit and resilience to stop the guys gave everything, so i was really pleased in that way. i everything, so i was really pleased in that way-— in that way. i think we are in a very good _ in that way. i think we are in a very good position _ in that way. i think we are in a very good position in - in that way. i think we are in a very good position in many i in that way. i think we are in a i very good position in many ways, performance —wise. the points and so on. performance —wise. the points and so on but_ performance —wise. the points and so on but we _ performance —wise. the points and so on. but we need to look at ourselves, see if we can add extra layers. _ ourselves, see if we can add extra layers. and — ourselves, see if we can add extra layers, and we will analyse this game _ layers, and we will analyse this game and — layers, and we will analyse this game and think, we can do more. at the _ game and think, we can do more. at the full—time whistle has blown in the premier league game of the day between chelsea and everton. a topsy—turvy second half, it was 1—1 with 15 minutes to go. then kai havertz to put the house in front ——
7:44 pm
put the hosts in front. they salvaged what could be a huge point for the toffees in the fight for survival. in the scottish premiership, celtic maintained their nine point lead at the top, coming back to win 3—1 against over ten—man hibernian. in the early kick off, rangers fans protested against a section of their board ahead of kick off at fir park against motherwell. but on the pitch, their team won a see saw affair, malik tillman's goal sealing the three points after motherwell brought it back to 2—2 in the second half. so here's confirmation of the scottish premiership results. that win for celtic, as well as victories for aberdeen and livingston, while the matches between dundee united and st mirren and kilmarnock and stjohnstone both finished 1—1. we're only a race into the formula one season, and many are suggesting it could be max verstappen's for the taking again. but he won't be on pole for tomorrow's saudi arabia grand prix. the dutchman, had to pull out of qualifying today injeddah. nick parrott reports.
7:45 pm
on the fastest street track in formula 1, max verstappen wood street ahead of his rivals, dominating practice at the circuit. poll for the saudi arabian grand prix was surely a foregone conclusion. the dutchman was flying until the second session of qualifying, but then there was uncharacteristic loss of control. followed by a loss of power. i have a problem. — followed by a loss of power. i have a problem, engine _ followed by a loss of power. i have a problem, engine problem. - followed by a loss of power. i have a problem, engine problem. a - a problem, engine problem. a red bull that a problem, engine problem. a red idull that had _ a problem, engine problem. a red bull that had charged _ a problem, engine problem. a red bull that had charged into - a problem, engine problem. a red bull that had charged into the - bull that had charged into the season pulling up lame, leaving the world champion stranded on 15th in the poll. the other red bull was far from out. sergio perez claiming the first poll if his career last year. with verstappen starting so far behind, perez will be hoping he can shine under the floodlights.
