sparking to light amid the fwhilef fwhileéwhales's trail 16 deluge. while whales's trail 16 at the break, soon they were adrift. wales did further adrift. wales did eventually stir. as aaron rain right gave them a glimmer of hope. it was too little too late, though. forwales, hope. it was too little too late, though. for wales, a 14th defeat in a row as their misery continued to mount. so a disappointing day for wales in rome. and despite the late rally, theyjust didn't have enough to reel italy back in. and it's back to the drawing board for head against champions ireland, later this month.

move in the corner. it was seven a piece at the interval when bath centre ollie lawrence broke through the french the tit for tat continued into the second half. to one by tommy freeman's try. no sooner were england within touching distance, france pulled clear again with the returning finn baxter barged his way over for his first international conversion to make it 19—18 with nine minutes to play. france weren't beaten though and bielle biarrey finished off an end to end attack to restore france's lead. however elliot daly�*s converted try in the final minute gave england a famous win and spark jubilant scenes at twickenham. of the competition so far.

but in the end, quality told, and city managed to turn the match around, to progress to the 5th round. ben croucher has the details. enjoy your afternoon? manchester city may be the one through to the next round but leyton orient were the ones to give them a fright. they give them quite a fright. they had dony in the sand, they shot had dony'in'the sa ndrtheyshcxt the halfway line! really! from the halfway line! really! 7 from the halfway line! really! ? the scoresheet may say stefan ortega. the moment will forever be his. for a while this corner believed. at the of london believed. at the right place at the right time. , change of end brought a a change of end brought a change of fortune for manchester when you need manchester city. when you need

into the second half. league's newcastle united. it is currently 2—2. this is �* it 50 minutes on the how it stands 50 minutes on the clock. that is it from us, for watching and will thanks for watching and will you again very soon. hello. saturday has been a dull and cloudy day for the bulk of the uk, with rain and drizzle around. if you went high enough into the hills, yes, this part of county durham, for example, is over 200m above sea level and that kind of height, yes, there have been a few flurries here and there, but for most it's just been rain and drizzle falling from the cloud today. in scotland, meanwhile, not a cloud in the sky for the highlands. a beautiful day here.

we've had a ridge of high pressure with us, and we're going to keep those clear skies throughout the night. it will be cold and frosty here overnight. further southwards, we keep extensive low cloud, turning misty with outbreaks of rain and drizzle pretty extensively. about above freezing. lowest temperatures down to about minus seven. and spells of sunshine. there'll be fewer showers as well for eastern areas of scotland. for northern ireland, england and wales expect a lot of cloud to start the day with mist pretty extensive, and drizzle around. across eastern areas of england and the midlands as we head of drizzle just about anywhere. temperatures, for the most part about 4 to 6 c. high pressure stays to our northeast, continuing

to feed in these cold east, north—easterly winds. and it's those winds that make it feel really quite cold if you're out and about. another grey, cloudy, misty start to the day. still with some rain and drizzle around through the morning, particularly towards the far southeast. this time there'll probably be a bit more in the way of cloud pushing into eastern areas of scotland, where there could be a resumption of some showers towards the east coast. but across western scotland, that's where we're most likely to see the best in the breaks of the cloud and any sunshine. for tuesday, it's a case of spot the difference. west, and so for most it stays still cloudy, misty, still a bit of drizzle here and there and it will continue to feel on the cold side. in fact, in our outlook and indeed on the weather app, although friday, a weather system comes in threatening rain into the west and may be preceded by a little bit of snow for some.
