    Scotland’s independence warriors could be the UK election’s biggest losers
  • Undoubtedly the SNP are in trouble this election. Because MPs in Scotland really don't matter. Whatever England decides, we get. Because of devolution the role of an MP is almost nothing too. Do ya think any MP can do anything about HMG foreign policy? Do you think Labour will grant Holyrood an independence referendum even if all MPs are SNP? It is an almost hopeless scenario for independence in Scotland at the moment, having been denied any democratic route. Turn out to be lowest in Scotland I'll bet, which will appear then like a swing to Labour, but I bet it almost exactly corresponds with SNP voters not turning out this election instead

    And this is a real shame, as the SNP have shown themselves to be the real opposition in the commons on many occasions. Labour and the Tories share almost all key policies.

    The major men’s leagues have agreed in principle to dates and format, and Champions Cup knockouts will be ditched to make space in the calendar

    Rugby union’s first Club World Cup set to be staged in June 2028

    Great to see, the makings of a global calendar are apparent with this too. Not a world cup, or a lions year either

    Aside: Seems I get my rugby news from the guardian, where else is good?

    Match thread: Six Nations round 5

    It ends today, and at first glance it's Ireland's to lose. Second too, but a third you can maybe see a route. Scotland beat Ireland and England beat France, some bonus point arithmetic in there too. But first...

    Wales v Italy

    Spoon decider here. Italy off the back of a well earned win vs Scotland. Wales licking wounds, but keen to avoid the spoon. Hope for an early try or this could be a nervy knock fest

    Ireland vs Scotland

    In theory Scotland could still win, but really Toonie hasn't produced any goods in this fixture in the last 9. Ireland have been not as good as 2023, but a shock last week will see them fired up. Triple crown is on the line here too

    France vs England

    Hold on to your livers, late 9pm local kick off here. And if Scotland somehow do England a favour, this one will be juicy. Even without an earlier upset both teams looking for a strong finish and to build. Probably the game of the day, if you mind it tomorrow!

    Who's out? Any predictions pre matches?

    Six Nations talking points from round four
    www.bbc.co.uk Six Nations 2024: Talking points after wins for England, Italy and France

    Did Steve Borthwick produce his best win as England coach? Can Italy now avoid the Wooden Spoon? Is Le Garrec what France were missing?

    Six Nations 2024: Talking points after wins for England, Italy and France

    Two shocks and a cracking game, where was this round 2 or 3?

    Scotland miles off the boil 2nd halves all tournament, Italy targetted this fixture, as well they should have. England proving to be learning and continue building, Ireland clearly under-prepped, an eye on Dublin next week instead? And which France will turn up? A good team no matter what.

    Can't see Scotland going to Dublin and coming away with points. Le Crunch promises to be great too, with a jockey for 2nd on the line. And that spoon battle is so tasty already, mmmm

    Match thread: Six Nations round 4

    Round 4 and it could be decided today!

    Italy vs Scotland

    Damp squib? Never in this fixture! The Italians always show up, and they're hungry. But the scots need a bonus point to keep any hope alive, one that has been elusive so far

    England vs Ireland

    England at home was a force to be feared. Not under Borthwick however. Ireland keeping the grand slam hopes alive today

    Wales vs France

    Can a misfiring french team beat a struggling Welsh one? Always a classic of running rugby this fixture, miss at your peril!

    Head, heart, and arse in the comments before kick offs! Anyone off to a stadium today?

    Match thread: Six Nations round 3

    After two strange incidents last week, will we see a controversy free weekend? Irelands to lose at this stage, will anyone upset them?

    Ireland vs Wales

    A bit of steam has run out of this fixture in recent years but it is often a classic. Ireland looking for the Bonus Point win, and likely to get it

    Scotland vs England

    An ascendant England vs an aggrieved Scotland. Should be closest this week, but plenty writing off England. Prematurely I'll add, the blitz defense of England will be hard to counter for Scotland

    France vs Italy

    France with a get out of jail card spent will be looking for a solid victory here. Italy will be desperate for anything
