SOCCER

Republic of Ireland head coach Carla Ward says she's "gutted" after their 2-1 defeat to France in their opening World Cup qualifier last night

Captain Katie McCabe scored the opener after 10 mins, but a second-half brace from Melvine Malard off the bench gave the visitors the win at Tallaght Stadium.

 

Liverpool remain three points outside the Premier League's top four following a shock 2-1 defeat at bottom side Wolves.

Everton finally have a first home win of 2026 after getting past strugglers Burnley 2-nil.

Elsewhere, Sunderland were 1-nil winners at Leeds, while Bournemouth and Brentford ended goalless.

The top two are both in action this evening.

Leaders Arsenal make the trip to Brighton while title rivals Manchester City host Nottingham Forest.

Aston Villa welcome Chelsea to Villa Park, and there's a London derby between Fulham and West Ham.

The late kick-off sees Manchester United go to Newcastle.

 

Celtic manager Martin O'Neill says his team's never-say-die attitude could yet see them retain the Scottish Premiership title.

The defending champions can go second and 5 points behind leaders Hearts with a win at Aberdeen tonight.

 

RUGBY

Jacob Stockdale is in line for a return to the Ireland starting side, when their team is named later for Friday's Six Nations clash with Wales.

The fit-again Jack Conan could come in at number-eight, with captain Caelan Doris moving to blind-side flanker for Friday's game at the Aviva.

Tommy O'Brien and Jacob Stockdale are in contention to replace injured winger James Lowe, while Tom O'Toole could deputise at loosehead prop.

 

Dave Rennie has been named the new head coach of New Zealand.

The former Wallabies coach will take charge of the All Blacks through to next year's Rugby World Cup in Australia.

Rennie succeeds Scott Robertson, who stepped down in mid-January after two years at the helm.

 

RACING

The going is heavy at Naas this morning ahead of today's seven-race card.

The opening race goes to post at 2:20pm.
