So that's a round-up of most of the day's sport. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Now it's time to turn our attention to the weekend's international | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
Rugby Union and go Inside 6 Nations with Olly Foster. | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
Over the next six weeks Six Nations will be in pursuit of that trophy | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
that goes to the best team in the northern hemisphere. We are going to | :00:18. | :00:24. | |
be in position with the latest interviews and news to set you up | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
for a championship weekend. Welcome to the first Inside Six Nations of | :00:32. | :00:32. | |
2017. We are live at Twickenham | :00:33. | :01:06. | |
tonight on the eve Remember, England won the grand slam | :01:07. | :01:21. | |
last year, their first in 13 years. They did it in Paris. Tomorrow | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
afternoon they face the French here at Twickenham. Once again England | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
looks like the team to beat. What an incredible 2016 they had | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
ex-commissioner unbeatable they were. It all started with Eddie | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
Jones in the Six Nations. The preamble is over. The Six Nations | :01:42. | :01:50. | |
championship is about to begin. All the way! What a try! Wonderful | :01:51. | :02:03. | |
skill. A great finish. What a try it was! One end of the pitch to the | :02:04. | :02:12. | |
other. He gets the touchdown. Oh, my word! What a game! Defence and | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
attack, a fantastic game of rugby. He goes inside. What a try! Anthony | :02:21. | :02:32. | |
Watson on the outside. Watson for England. | :02:33. | :02:41. | |
So, that was the story of last year's Championship. | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
And they would win another eight on the bounce before the year | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
A whitewash against Australia in the summer, | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
Another impeccable autumn series. Chris Robshaw was a key figure in | :02:54. | :03:05. | |
all about. Many thought they would not see him in an England shirt | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
again. He was such a strong player for Eddie Jones, one of the first | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
names on the team sheet. I have just nipped across the road to the | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
harlequins do. He has had shoulder surgery and will play no part in the | :03:21. | :03:29. | |
Six Nations. You Tommy about being -- he told me about being in that | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
squad under Eddie Jones. They always want to get better and improve. They | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
are never satisfied. You have moments to reflect and wish | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
them well. A good set of leaders who will continue to drive the squad | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
forward. I'm sure we'll see them in the Six Nations. Can you put your | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
finger on what Eddie Jones has done? When I was low on confidence he gave | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
me that confidence. He has given the team belief to go out and play. It | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
has paid off. Another challenge tomorrow with the French coming. | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
With a physical battle. As the forward pack in midfield player you | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
know what you are up against. You really see forwards and what they | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
are about. That is a big test. Houses losing the captaincy made you | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
a better player? Have you improved? I am not sure. Viewers want to | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
improve as a player, go out there and do your bit for the team, | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
whether you have your captain's armband or not. I love captaining | :04:30. | :04:39. | |
England. I am loving my rugby at the moment as well. A big pair of boots | :04:40. | :04:51. | |
to fill. I'm sure he will be fine. He plays regularly for the club was | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
the pianist played a lot of six as well. New high tackled directives. | :04:57. | :05:06. | |
Will that change the game very much question our players will be a | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
little more cautious? Whenever the new laws come in, they referee them | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
strictly initially. They are still adjusting to it. As time goes on the | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
common sense prevails. As we are starting to see, if you are unlucky, | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
you get hit in the face or make contact with the head, then it is | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
tough. We have to use common sense as well. Bonus points being | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
introduced in the Six Nations. A couple more Six Nations titles to | :05:38. | :05:46. | |
your name, back could have happened? I think it is a positive move. The | :05:47. | :05:54. | |
team will back themselves in the grand slam. That will be the most | :05:55. | :06:06. | |
important thing. It is exciting. In the Lions year, does that give it a | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
bit of an extra edge? I think the Six Nations always has age. The | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
excitement around Twickenham, the excitement around the whole of | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
Europe at the moment. We see the launch and stuff like that. People | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
love the rivalry and players love to play in it because of all those | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
reasons. It is brilliant to be part of it. Everyone is pointing towards | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
the final weekend saying IBM Ireland- England title decider. Do | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
you go along with that? There is a long way to go before that. England | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
have a massive challenge tomorrow they go down to Wales, which is with | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
tough in its own right. We have Jamie Roberts at the club. We have | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
got to know a bit more about him and the Welsh mindset and how they | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
always enjoy that game as well. The first two games will be very tough. | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
Everybody will be wanting to beat England, especially him. Chris | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
Robshaw hopes he can squeeze in a couple of games for harlequins. | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
Chris Robshaw, his injury not the only one that has forced | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
Let's catch up on all the team news and headlines | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
from our reporters with the home nations, starting with David Currie | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
in the Scotland camp, ahead of the first match | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
Scotland have not won a Six Nations opener since 2006. To buck that | :07:32. | :07:45. | |
trend, Vern Cotter has opted for Joss Strauss and Fraser Brown. Also | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
for Ryan Wilson at six, ahead of John Barclay. At centre he is going | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
for Hugh Jones when he has recovered from injury but lacks match | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
practice. That follows an impressive display for Scotland in the Autumn | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
Internationals. I am confident. I feel like the coach has confidence | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
in me. I have not had the same match practice as everyone else. I feel | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
fit, having trained. The only way you can get match fit is by playing | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
matches. I'm going to have to start at some point. | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
As Ireland bid for their first Six Nations title in four years, wins | :08:29. | :08:37. | |
over the all Blacks and South Africa means the Irish arrived here in the | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
Scottish capital in confident mood. The main talking point in the Irish | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
camp has been the missing John Sexton. There will be a rejuvenated | :08:46. | :08:55. | |
Scottish team. The men intend to use squad depth tomorrow as they face a | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
Scottish side which has failed to win its opening match in 11 years in | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
that one in. It will be a big battle. They are a quality outfit. | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
Everyone talks about how good the backs up. You look at the forwards. | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
We know it will be a tough day full supper will have to be as close to | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
perfect as we possibly can at this level. -- a tough day. England | :09:18. | :09:27. | |
return to Twickenham, no doubt full of confidence. Injuries have forced | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
a reshuffle in the pack. Elliott Daley is preferred to Jack Noel on | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
the wing. Victory against France tomorrow would set an England | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
record. Another grand slam would set a world record. The mood in the camp | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
this week has been one of focusing on the resurgent French. First it is | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
the attitude. Not that it has been the attitude. Not that it has been | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
bad but just about being absolutely insistent in wanting to get better. | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
Secondly, we want consistently, particularly with our set pieces. We | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
have had games where the line-out has been great and the scrums have | :10:07. | :10:15. | |
been so- so and vice versa. Sometimes we are outstanding and | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
other times the opposition has got easy points. They will be hoping for | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
better weather in Rome this weekend. The coach has made five changes to | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
the side that beat South Africa last autumn. Three players out injured | :10:30. | :10:38. | |
and Ross Moriarty comes in alongside Sam Warburton and Justin Tipuric. | :10:39. | :10:46. | |
Williams is preferred at centre. He replaces Jamie Roberts, who is on | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
the bench. You feel you want to start well. We certainly believe the | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
Six Nations will be about momentum. We want to pick probably a rather | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
experienced team to start the tournament. | :11:04. | :11:13. | |
Mirroring the men's fixtures are the women. They went and lost against | :11:14. | :11:24. | |
the French last year and lost the title. It is an important year | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
because it is a cup year for them. The women's petition is so | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
competitive that we cannot get ahead of ourselves. We will prepare as | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
best we can and take ourselves to Twickenham and put in a performance | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
that we will want to do to get victory. From there on with a look | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
ahead to the rest of the competition and it will come around soon enough, | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
no doubt. That's tomorow evening, | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
a 7.35 kick-off. Already underway | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
at the Broadwood Stadium in North Lanarkshire | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
is Scotland against Ireland. Scotland lost | :12:07. | :12:08. | |
all their matches last year. Wales women are in Italy | :12:09. | :12:10. | |
for their match tomorrow. Highlights of all the women's | :12:11. | :12:21. | |
Six Nations matches are on Sunday on BBC2 at 10:45pm in the evening | :12:22. | :12:26. | |

Centre tomorrow. you right up to date | :13:00. | :13:18. | |
on BBC News as well. That's just about it | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
for this Inside Six Nations. But, as Twickenham prepares | :13:23. | :13:24. | |
for the French, we thought we'd But Phille Saint Andre | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
stole the show. On the counter attack. This is | :13:29. | :13:37. | |
typical ad venture. Notice how the backs anticipate this great play. | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
They see the man galloping up. On the balance. Acer 's facial try at | :13:41. | :13:48. | |
Twickenham. From behind his home line. That is out of this world. | :13:49. | :13:59. | |
What a fantastic try exclamation lets hope the rain holds off at | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
Twickenham as well. There will be some close | :14:06. | :14:06. |
