Wales v England
The Gas Challenge France v Scotland
Nigel Starmer-Smith introduces highlights of yesterday's matches in the international championship. After great improvement against France, England, with defeats in their two matches, travelled to Wales knowing they haven't won there since 1963. Scotland won their first match against Ireland, but for their second went to Paris, not having won there since 1969 and with the French favourites for this year's Grand Slam.

Continues the BBCtv tribute to Cary Grant who died last year.
Today with Myrna Loy

For years, Jim Blandings, a successful advertising executive, has lived with his wife Muriel in a cramped New York apartment. Finally the Blandings decide to move out and lead an ideal life in their dream house, a 'ruin' in Connecticut.
This sparkling comedy gave Cary Grant and the enchanting Myrna Loy two of their best roles.

The Men's Downhill from Aspen, USA
David Vine introduces the latest high-speed action from ski racing's annual competition to find the season's most consistent downhiller. Switzerland's PETER MUELLER is on an Aspen hat-trick, in fact he's won four of the last six World Cup races on 'Ruthie's Run' here in Colorado.
Meanwhile the women resume their quest for downhill honours on the Olympic course at Mount
Allan in Canada, and surely only local lass LAURIE GRAHAM can stop more Swiss success stories.

International Championship England v Scotland
The second match of the triangular tournament takes place today with the traditional needle match between England and Scotland; the favourites being England on their home ground.
There are four newcomers to the England squad, once again led by the World
Professional Champion, JOHN LOWE. Surprisingly the international, Alan Glazier has been left out.
Scotland are led by that seasoned campaigner PETER MASSON , who plays from
Merseyside, and will hope that their international stars, JOCKY WILSON and ROBERT MACKENZIE , will be on their best form.
