    Switching sports now to rugby union and Ireland remain on track for a Six Nations Grand Slam after they inflicted a first defeat of the championship on England in Dublin on Sunday.

    England head coach Stuart Lancaster remains hopeful his side can still win the title despite 19-9 defeat.

    There are very few Grand Slam teams," Lancaster said.

    "In the majority of years you end up with a team winning the championship that has lost one game along the way.

    "We have two games at home and it's critical we get as much out of those as we can."

    More reaction from Geoffrey Boycott on the new twist in the Kevin Pietersen and England tug of war: "It needs to be put clear to him (Kevin) that if he plays well in county cricket then there's going to be a genuine - and I mean the word genuine - change of heart and change of opinion that he is going to be open for selection and that they are going to put bygones to one side.

    "I don't think that it is fair to ask anybody to give up an IPL contract because that's all he has.

    "He only has Twenty20 around the world."

    Former England batsman and Test Match Special summariser Geoffrey Boycott has been speaking to BBC Radio 5 live about Colin Graves's comments on a possible England return for Kevin Pietersen.

    "It says to me that Kevin needs to get a meeting with Colin Graves as soon as he can and, preferably, with Paul Downton and James Whitaker there after he has spoken to the chairman, because he wants to be clear," Boycott said.

    "It's alright the chairman saying he has to play county cricket, but if he does that and gives up a lucrative IPL contract and Downton and Whitaker are still not going to pick him, that's kind of like leading him on isn't it? And that's not fair."

    Elsewhere in Sunday's Premier League action, Olivier Giroud rewarded manager Arsene Wenger's support with a goal as Arsenal beat Everton 2-0 to climb back to third.

    Wenger kept the striker in his starting line-up even though he missed several chances during Wednesday's 3-1 Champions League defeat by Monaco.

    Giroud volleyed in Mesut Ozil's corner six minutes before half-time.

    Away from Chelsea's Wembley win on Sunday, there was an eventful afternoon of Premier League drama too.

    Liverpool dented Manchester City's pursuit of Mourinho's men thanks to two superb goals from Jordan Henderson and Philippe Coutinho in a 2-1 win at Anfield.

    Moving away from football briefly and to cricket where the England and Wales Cricket Board has moved to clarify the situation over sacked batsman Kevin Pietersen returning to the England team.

    Incoming ECB chairman Colin Graves said the first step back for the 34-year-old would be to play county cricket.

    But an ECB spokesperson said: "Colin Graves is correct. Nothing has changed.

    "Only players who are playing consistent high-quality county cricket and who are seen as a positive influence will be selected."

    In another twist to the saga, this morning the player himself tweeted:, external Incredibly humbling how supportive you've all been since the news broke yesterday from Mr Colin Graves. Gonna try work this out for sure!
