before the big england—wales match, ireland host italy at the aviva stadium at 2.15. the irish needed a brilliant jonny sexton last gasp drop kick to narrowly beat france last weekend, but they'll no doubt be hopng for a much more comprehensive scoreline against italy. on sunday france travel to murrayfield to play scotland. onto tonight's action and bath are up to third place in the aviva premiership with a convincing win over northampton. the saints had started well and bath took a while to get going, but when they did they were all over the struggling saints. matt banahan putting them ahead before half time — freddie burns converting on his way to kicking 17 points in the 32—9 final score at the rec. in the pro 1a, glasgow let slip a ten—point lead at the dragons to draw 15—15. jared rosser‘s try levelling the scores just before half time, and that's how it stayed for the rest of the match. glasgow are missing several key players due to six nations scotland duty. at the kingspan, ulster thrashed southern kings 59—10. craig gilroy scoring three of their

you can watch the action from the welsh open on the bbc two in wales and the bbc sport website. that gets under way at seven o'clock this evening. period against walsall did go ahead last night despite extraordinary scenes at london road, this video of peterborough players steven taylor and junior mirallas grabbing some brooms and helping to clear their lines. the snow threatened to abandon a game they were winning and they eventually went on to win that 2-1. no they eventually went on to win that 2—1. no small part to them. and if you think it is just the 2—1. no small part to them. and if you think it isjust the uk... fernando alonso brave the elements to managejust fernando alonso brave the elements to manage just one lap fernando alonso brave the elements to managejust one lap before calling it a day. and the mercedes tea m calling it a day. and the mercedes team will be making use of their free time building their own snowman. free time building their own snowman. it became quite a hit on social media. never miss a chance for branding! a reminder that the big game tonig

now onto the six nations championship, england leading wales 12-6 at championship, england leading wales 12—6 at twickenham, looking to make it to two wins out of two. england had an explosive start withjonny may sprinting to get on the end of owen farrell's punt forward which was inch perfect — farrell though missed the conversion. it was may who ran in the second try of the game — this time a great offload from joe launchbury, unlocking the wales backline. wales have since pressurised the england defence, scott williams denied by a late last gasp challenge by some and a hill. we are into the closing stages, england clinging to their advantage, just a couple of minutes remaining, england leading 12-6. well, earlier today ireland made it two wins from two with a dominant 56—19 victory over italy in dublin. after their last gasp win over france last weekend, things were far smoother today, with the irish scoring eight tries in all, as stuart pollitt reports. commentator: it looks good. it likes it. and ireland have stolen the game! after the last minute drop goal drama game! after

this is from one of our wet the watchers in south wales. cloudy for many of us, we will see rain at some stage today. it is already beginning to pull away from northern ireland and scotland. more widely brighter, tomorrow, with some sunshine, but snow showers around, an indication that tomorrow is going to be colder than today. it is windy throughout the weekend, but tomorrow... this is what is around the uk at the moment. this system has been moving in. that is spreading rain south—eastwards across the uk. maybe some early sunny spells the very furthest east you are in in blood, but the cloud will increase through the afternoon, and the outbreaks of rain spreading south east. quieter and drier weather through northern ireland and scotland, but the area of rain will be coming to northern ireland at the end of the afternoon. a snapshot, a lot of clear whether in scotland in the afternoon. that is why you can see the greenland, here. some sunshine through the afternoon. just one 01’ sunshine through the afternoon. just one or two match ho

davies for the corner, harris can't get there, a try for wales! scotland had a fair bit of the ball early on, but wales used it with composure and commonsense. leigh halfpenny scored his first try in five years and then he started the second half with another. no way back now for scotland and for their fourth try wales really turned it on. llanelli scarlet connections all over the pitch. west is best, as they say there. steff evans' sense of direction was perfect. 34—7, final score. we've trained really well in the last two weeks and i said to the players, "i think we'll batter them." we took what we've been doing on the training pitch and being clinical and we went out there and produced a really good performance. it's funny, isn't it, in the six nations how emotions and optimism and pessimism can change afterjust one match. in paris, everything changed it seemed in the space of a teddy thomas sprint. finally some french magic in the drizzle. ireland had seemed in control up until this, it meant france led by a point and still they led with the

it was close in the womens 6 nations as wales beat scotland 18—17 in colwyn bay. wales had been cruising, a try from kerin lake put them 18—5 up, but things changed dramatically as chloe rollie scored two second half tries to get scotland within a point. but the hosts held on in the last few minutes for a nailbiting win. no andy murray, no kyle edmund, but great britain could have unearthed a brand new star in cameron norrie. he's 22 and made his davis cup debut against spain yesterday and came from two sets down to beat world number 23 roberto bautista agut, and level the tie at 1—1. liam broady lost the first singles match to albert ramos—vinolas, but norrie produced the performance of his life to beat a man ranked 91 places above him in the world. he only turned professional last june and this was his first ever professional match on red clay. jamie murray and dominic inglot play in the doubles rubber later today and you can follow the match live on bbc two and the bbc sport website from 1pm this afternoon. ijust i just thought i ijust thought i was tough
