Chelsea haven't lost to Hull since a 3-0 defeat in the old Division Two in October 1988, a run stretching back 16 games

Ireland v Italy (Rugby Union - Six Nations)

Ireland v Italy (Rugby Union - Six Nations)

Coverage of Round 2 of the Six Nations from the Aviva Stadium in Dublin. Ireland come into this clash against Italy with a dominant head‑to‑head record stretching back decades — they have won the vast majority of their meetings and beat Italy 22‑17 in Rome last season. Italy, who have shown encouraging form in recent campaigns and avoided finishing last in the previous two editions, will be aiming to build on that progress and trouble Ireland on home turf.

Ireland v Scotland (Rugby Union - Six Nations)

The Calcutta Cup fixture pits Scotland against England in one of the Championship’s most traditional rivalries; England’s last 11‑game winning streak underlines their recent consistency, but Scotland will be fired up to defend home advantage. With England having not claimed a title since 2020, a statement win here would send a strong message early in their campaign.

Aston Villa v Newcastle United (FA Cup)

England host one of their fiercest rivals in a clash that could shape the title race, having last met Ireland in Dublin where defence was at a premium.

Wales v Scotland (Rugby Union - Six Nations)

Coverage of Round 3 from the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. Scotland edged a thrilling contest against Wales 35‑29 in their last meeting in Edinburgh, a game that showcased both sides’ attacking flair and defensive lapses.

Coverage of Round 3 of the Six Nations from Stade Pierre Mauroy in Lille. France have been dominant against Italy in recent years, typically posting large winning margins with rapid try‑scoring depth, and last season’s clash reflected that gulf.
