In Ireland's last match in the Six Nations,

Ireland are winning 28 - 20 against Scotland

Despite Ireland having relinquished their title this year,

these fans remain optimistic for the future.

Different people, you know, role models. It was hard on them, but

they are building a new team and in a couple of years, they will be the

best. I think Ireland will win by six. I know Scotland is going to be

right up from their previous result against France. And it is going to

finish on a high note. We have got a lot of injuries this year. Not

expecting to win the title or the Grand Slam. Next year is our year.

into the Chinese city which hosted the sailing events

A year ago, I was in Derry, not... And you see we have come first. You

can see the difference a year makes. I think it will do wonders in the

future and I think I've got a lot of confidence out of it and I feel like

I can know my own limits and I have pushed it a bit. I feel like I am

capable of more than I thought I would be one year ago.

Good evening. High pressure continues to keep the weather

settled and quiet. Some drizzle in places. The cloud has been sifting

through the course of the day. Some brightness we saw today. Clearer

skies across central and southern Scotland coming towards us. For

many, it has been a rather gay day. -- grey day. You could get some

drizzle on the hills, but many places will stay dry. Some cloud

developing from the north. Temperatures dropping back to three

or 4 degrees. Most places will see frost free. The spring equinox

tomorrow. A lot of dry weather. Varying amounts of cloud. So some

breaks, some bright and sunny spells developing during the morning. That

should extend into the Republic. A fair amount of cloud towards the

south and west. Quite cloudy towards Northerners Scotland. Breezy and

rainy here. Cloudy for much of England and Wales. Some parts should

brighten up, particularly the West. Into central and southern Scotland

as well. For Northern Ireland, we will hopefully see some of that

sunshine. Hopefully into the afternoon. Temperatures around 10

degrees. Feeling pleasant in the sunshine. Later on, we should start

to see the cloud increasing. The wind will change. Through tomorrow

night, that will have the tendency of bringing more cloud in. Some rain

in the north and west. But not too much. Many places staying around for

degrees. We start the new week with high pressure. Midweek onwards, we

get a weather front moving in, perhaps on Wednesday, bringing

patchy rain. May be more persistent on Thursday. Not a lot of rain, but

a fair amount of cloud. That is that for now. Goodbye.
