Pick of the Day
Live: Guinness Six Nations, 3.30pm, Virgin Media One
It’s the final day of the 2022 Six Nations and Ireland host Scotland (Kick-off 4.45pm) in their D4 HQ.
Here’s where you can catch all the action from both teams' concluding match in this year's championship, held at Aviva Stadium.
Ireland have won the last six meetings between the sides in all competitions, but were made to work hard for a 27-24 victory at Murrayfield in last season's competition, and another closely-fought encounter is anticipated.

The Tommy Tiernan Show, 10.00pm, RTÉ One
Some night, Tommy Tiernan is going to interview Tommy Tiernan here.
In the meantime, this improvised chat show continues to see Tommy enjoy getting spanners out of the works.
With the comedian in the dark about who he will be interviewing until they walk out to greet him, anything can happen. Well, except for some embarrassing silence.
Live Six Nations Rugby Union, 7.35pm, RTÉ2
Jacqui Hurley presents all the action from the final match of this year's championship, held at Stade de France in Paris, as France face England (Kick-off 8.00pm).
The hosts prevailed 24-17 when they last met England here in 2020, but they have since been narrowly defeated twice at Twickenham by Eddie Jones' men.
With analysis from Jamie Heaslip, Jerry Flannery and Stephen Ferris, and commentary by Hugh Cahill and Bernard Jackman.
Match of the Day Live: The FA Cup, 4.50pm, BBC One
It’s Middlesbrough v Chelsea (KO 5.15pm) in a cup tie that Chelsea wanted to be played behind closed doors, in the interest of fair play.
Naturally enough, Boro offered the away tickets Chelsea weren't allowed to sell to their own fans.
Whether the game can live up to the pre-match to-ing and fro-ing is a moot point, but I’d be surprised if the Chelsea players aren’t sharpening their studs for this one.
Annie Lennox: BBC One Sessions, 10.45pm, BBC One
First shown in 2009, this event sees the Academy Award-winning singer perform at LSO St Luke's, London, with members of the BBC Concert Orchestra.
The session includes songs from the Eurythmics' back catalogue, together with material from her solo career.
That’s followed at 11.45pm by Annie Lennox: Diva, where the Eurythmics star talks about her life and her personal and musical relationship with Dave Stewart.
Whitney at the BBC, 12.15am, BBC Two
If you’re still up after midnight, this should send you to your leaba with a tune or two in your head.
It’s a selection of songs by one of soul music's greatest-ever voices, illustrating why the world sat up and listened when Whitney Houston burst onto the scene in 1985 with Saving All My Love for You.
This playlist traverses the '80s, '90s and '00s, leading to the star's early death in 2012, which was wildly regarded as a tragic loss to the world of contemporary music.
Because it was.
