Was this, for this dominant yes, was this, for this dominant england champions aga arguably yes, england champions again and arguably they rarely have to get into top gear to do it. They set a blistering pace at the start of the game that france really struggled to keep up with. After the break, the hosts, welcome of their struggles continued when they were reduced to 14 continued when they were reduced to m players having one sent off for a 1a players having one sent off for a high tackle. England then cruising to a comfortable win on the day and a sixth consecutive title overall as Lydia Campbell reports. This was a cauldron of emotion in bordeaux. Thats what you get when a grand slam is on the line, both france and england have their eyes on the glory, but only one could win. It was red roses who raced into an early lead, a quick fire try, Alex Matthews, france hadnt turned up to their own party yet.

Before marie replied instantly with the best try of the match, breezing past several as they game continue to sway. But england are serial winners in this competition, and added another two tries before the break to give themselves plenty of breathing room. And things got worse for france early in the second half as she was given a yellow card for this tackle before it was upgraded to read. And despite france pulling another try back, Alex Matthews cut through for her second try of the match, sealing the grand slam for england. This is a 29th victory in a row for england in the six nations, another ruthless tournament for them and they will celebrate tonight before thinking about next years world cup. Lydia campbell, bbc news. Yes, that way and also secures new head coachs first championship inside of the red roses.

Wales finished bottom of the six nations table despite a win over italy. They needed a bonus point victory to ensure they didn� t end up with the wooden spoon this year. They won 22 20. Sisilia tuipulotu crossed to level the scores in the dying minutes with Lleucu George slotting over the winning kick. Wales had not beaten italy at home since 2012, but here they did so in front of a record home crowd at the principality stadium of 10,592. Ireland edged out scotland 15 12 in a closely contested game in belfast to finish third and qualify for the 2025 world cup. Both sides with two tries apiece but an irish penalty proved the difference. The irish will also take their place in wxv1 after their second victory of the campaign helped them climb one point ahead of scotland in the table. Chelsea are out of women� s Champions League, after a controversial 2 0 defeat to barcelona at a sold out Stamford Bridge denied them the chance to progress to the final. 0ur Reporterjoe Lynskey was there for us and joe, a game full of drama in sodden conditions.

Its a sad end for womens i Champions League campaign and to today. Its a sad end for Womens Champions League campaign and to be for the kick off in the second leg, there was so much hope in west london. In that first leg last weekend they were the first team to be barcelona on their home ground since 2019. There was a sell out crowd for the second leg here at Stamford Bridge. But chelsea in the end because of the sheer quality of barcelona� s players. They have in their ranks the current women� s ballin door holder. In her strike in the first half really started to change things and change the mood inside Stamford Bridge. That Put Barcelona 1 0 up on the night. Level and aggregate midway through the first half. But chelsea can� t say they didn� t have chances in this match. They hit the word work twice significantly really in this match, particularly this crossbar in the first half and then later in the second half, they hit the woodwork for a second time. But the game really swung again when buchanan was sent off for chelsea in the second half. A second yellow card, what it looked like a fairly innocuous bowel from her, but there is var overturned by var, barcelona, against 11 players with 11 players come i should say, with ten players, it became very, very difficult indeed. They hope to may be keep this one out towards extra time and penalties, but he was there again to win a penalty for barcelona in the closing stages and that was converted by roll photo to make it 20 converted by roll photo to make it 2 0 on the night and you overturned that 10 2 0 on the night and you overturned that 1 0 deficit from the first leg. 21 that 1 0 deficit from the first leg. 2 1 finished on aggregate. Chelsea really disappointed here to go out in the Champions League and you get beaten by barcelona again for the third time in four seasons. Just briefly come third time in four seasons. Just briefly come how third time in four seasons. Just briefly come how much disappointment for chelsea really reflecting on this game given emma hayes bowing out . Only the league to play for. Yeah, one stage this season, emma hayes was looking for four trophies in herfinal season in charge of chelsea before she moves on to coach the United States women� s national team. She� s notjust in the hunt really for the wsl title, and that is so tight, so competitive, chelsea three points off the top with a game in hand. That is a title race that could come down to Goal Difference at the end of the season with Manchester City, but hayes, she desperately this women� s Champions League, didn� t she . I don� t think it will spoil her legacy that many of these fans and streaming out of the ground tonight will look back on a wonderful career she� s had at this club with six wsl titles, five fa cups in the Champions League, it just wasn� t it be tonight. Cups in the Champions League, it just wasnt it be tonight. Cups in the Champions League, it just wasnt it be tonight. Thank you ve much just wasnt it be tonight. Thank you very much indeed.

Braving the rain, much appreciated. After the midweek the neck after the midweek Merseyside Derby loss to everton, liverpool really had a job on their hands to stay in this Premier League title race. And today, they did themselves no favours at all, held to a draw with west ham. The result leavesjurgen klopp� s side two points behind leaders arsenal, having played a game more. And the tensions, potentially starting to show, as nick parrott reports. The frustrating end to liverpool� s season is becoming more apparent with every game. After losing to everton without scoring in midweek, the manager, juergen klopp, made five changes, as an impact sub guest west ham, but is this moment of the maps that he will be remembered for. It was already to all when the egyptian came on. In a dire first half, liverpool had more possession, but it was the hammers who struck first through jared bowen just before the interval. Half Time Team Talk did the trick, as Andy Robertson equalised soon after. Liverpool could and should have run away with this match, but as so often has been the case this season, their shots were wayward and they found a goalkeeper rising to the occasion. He was credited with this own goal, but he was hardly to blame for liverpool taking the lead. One of the few standout performers was bowen, the Player Of The Match Set Up Antonio to send west ham� s fans delirious and liverpool� s despondent. They� ve known for months that klopp is leaving, left wondering whether solo or others follow them out of the club. Nick parrott, bbc news. Afterwards in the post match press conference klopp wouldn� t elaborate on what happened with salah on the touchline other than to say we spoke about it in the Dressing Room and that is done for me. Asked if salah was ok with it, klopp claimed that was my impression. However, when salah walked through the mixed zone at west ham and was asked to stop, he admitted there� s gonna be a fire today if i speak. It� s not always great, everton, especially not, other games have been really good and they don� t finish the situation, that is not cool, thinking this game can look completely different if you lose. If you only use them, than it� s already done, but it� s just how it is. We have to take it, it� s not the first time. 75 points, i think, that we have now, so that� s not bad. Of course, still nine points to get, and we will try absolutely everything. The opponents are tough. We all know that. I
