Andy Gill, the founding member and guitarist of British post-punk band Gang Of Four, has died aged 64.

The musician's scratchy, staccato riffs provided the band with their signature sound, and influenced the likes of Nirvana, Fugazi and Franz Ferdinand.

His bandmates announced his death in a statement, saying: "Our great friend and supreme leader has died today".

Gill had developed a "respiratory illness," after finishing an Asian tour with Gang Of Four last year, they said.

"This pain is the price of extraordinary joy, almost three decades with the best man in the world," wrote his wife, Catherine Mayer, on Twitter.

Andy Farrell's reign as Ireland coach got off to a winning but unimpressive start as his side earned a fortunate 19-12 Six Nations win over Scotland.

New captain Johnny Sexton scored all of Ireland's points, including a first-half try, as the hosts profited from Scotland's inability to take chances.

Scotland's new skipper Stuart Hogg's knock-on over the line in the second half summed up his side's try-less day.

Man-of-the-match CJ Stander's late turnover secured Ireland's win.

Exactly. We could see this with Schmidt. Hence why it’s fatal our board agreed we would go down this route again. Competitive balance of the championship v austria premier is miles apart. Another failing of our recruitment team.

Spurs are considering a mutual termination of Victor Wanyama’s contract.

If this is so, he can then move to any club as a free agent. Sadly he has not been at his best for over two years and his fitness levels are a major concern.

World Cup finalists England fell to a chastening defeat by a resurgent France as their Six Nations hopes wilted in the Parisian rain.

Coach Eddie Jones had talked of unleashing a brutal physicality upon a callow France side with an average of just 10 caps apiece.

But it was France who tenderised England in a one-sided first half, converted tries from Vincent Rattez and captain Charles Ollivon plus a Romain Ntamack penalty opening up a deserved 17-point lead.

Ollivon dived over for his second try to stretch that advantage to 24, before two brilliant solo scores from Jonny May suddenly brought hope in the final quarter.

But England could add only a late Owen Farrell penalty, their hopes of only a second Grand Slam in 17 years disintegrating in the face of a France defence superbly drilled by Shaun Edwards.

Jones said his team wanted to become the greatest team in history, but they were second-best to Fabien Galthie's new wave of Gallic talents.

My local club plays at Level 8 - proper rugby in the mud stuff. Today was all set. Open early for bacon rolls, watch England's big match, live music, lunch served before the afternoon cup game which also ended up being cancelled because the other side though it better to 'concentrate on the league'.

The first event that will help decide the candidates for US president is to take place with Monday's Iowa caucuses.

Democratic and Republican voters will choose their preferred nominees for the White House race.

While victory in Iowa doesn't guarantee anyone the nomination, it can help give them crucial momentum.

The path appears clear for Donald Trump to be the Republican nominee, but there are still 11 people running for the Democratic nomination.
