If you haven't done already, make sure you read BBC Sport's chief sports writer Tom Fordyce on whether English rugby fans should expect more.

And catch up on all the weekend's Six Nations action on BBC iPlayer.

Following the news that Newcastle legend Alan Shearer is to be honoured with a bronze statue, we want to know which sport star you think should have a similar honour bestowed on them.

Rewant Raj Singh: A statue for a sporting legend? Who else but the great Sachin Tendulkar! There is not a single cricket fan who doesn't love him!

Earlier (see 11:49), we told you the Football Association of Wales had declined to comment on the plans of their English counterparts to enter Great Britain teams at the 2016 Olympics.

Now they have. And it is strong stuff. FAW president Trefor Lloyd Hughes says he is "livid" with the English FA.

"I am absolutely gutted with the English FA," he says. "If they want to work with us they have to be more open with us and they don't seem to be keeping to agreements."

GB teams played at London 2012 but the English FA had said that would be a one-off. It has written to its counterparts in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales to ask them if they want to take part in Rio de Janeiro.

Would not fancy looking across the starting line and seeing these two stood there in their vests...

Remember a time when rugby league was played on muddy pitches and the only 'technology' was the referee's whistle? Then you'll love this video.

BBC's Super League Show takes a look back to when Hull FC won their only Floodlit Trophy title by beating city rivals Hull Kingston Rovers in the 1979-80 final.

And, to nick a phrase from Hull's Steve Norton in the video, you'd be "a lump of wood" if you didn't click this link to watch.

If that's not still enough to tempt you, it is soundtracked by Michael Jackson's disco classic Don't Stop Til You've Get Enough. Surely a deal-clincher...

Ipswich Town loanee Chris Wood has told BBC Radio Suffolk that his future at parent club Leicester City is uncertain.

The 23-year-old striker has made just one Premier League start for the Foxes this season and joined Town on loan last week.

The signing of Andrej Kramaric by Leicester in January pushed Wood further down the pecking order.

"I'm focusing on the next 12 or 14 games," said the New Zealand international. "My focus is on helping Ipswich. My future is up in the air. I don't know what's going to happen."

West Brom boss Tony Pulis has fitness concerns over top scorer Saido Berahino and fellow forward Brown Ideye, who both limped off against Southampton on Saturday with respective foot and knee injuries.

And his striking options are further limited as Victor Anichebe remains sidelined by a groin problem.
