Wales v Ireland: Six Nations match preview

Re-live the latest updates live from Six Nations Grand Slam Saturday as Italy suffered a record-stretching 22nd straight defeat against France.

Following two early penalties from Tommaso Allan, France hit back to take the lead through a converted try from Antoine Dupont, with Romain Ntamack adding a further three points before the break.

The visitors stretched their lead afterwards as wing Yoan Huget scored to give them breathing space, but Italy clawed their way back into the match when scrum-half Tito Tebaldi went over for a try. Italy then looked to have scored a second try when debutant Marco Zanon went over, but Damian Penaud wisely dislodged the ball out of his hands and followed up by scoring a well-executed try minutes later to seal the win.

74 mins: Jones makes more changes as Luke Cowan-Dickie, Nathan Hughes and Ben Spencer on in place of George, Launchbury and Youngs, and they have to at least show something to suggest that they can still win this game.

76 mins: TRY FOR SCOTLAND!

77 mins: Wow. Just wow. Of all people, Vunipola loses the ball in contact and Scotland counter. The ball is whipped to Russell, and giving the eyes to the back-field, he pops a no-look pass to Sam Johnson, who beats Nowell, Daly and the rest of the covering defence to score. Russell converts and Scotland, somehow, LEAD! 31-38

80 mins: England win a penalty just inside Scottish territory, but the clock is red and England CANNOT win this match. Ford kicks to touch, and England need a converted try just to draw the Calcutta Cup!

80 mins: England are camped on the Scotlanf line...TRY FOR ENGLAND!

[16 March 2019 18:53 · Jack de Menezes]

80 mins: An unbelievable game has an unbelievable finish as George Ford, the man Jones sent on for Farrell, slides over between the posts, and as a result gives himself the simple conversio to DRAW the match!

England 38-38 Scotland

It means that Scotland retain the Calcutta Cup, but their wait for a win at Twickenham goes on!
