In the wake of Coventry City's contract talks, head coach Frank Lampard addressed the situation surrounding club captain Ben Sheaf. The midfielder, currently recovering from a calf injury, has 18 months left on his contract, with an option to extend it until the summer of 2027. While Sheaf has previously expressed interest in returning to the Premier League, Lampard emphasized there is no “huge rush” to finalize a new deal, as the club remains focused on ongoing fixtures.

Meanwhile, in the Six Nations, Jamie Roberts highlighted a controversial moment during England's narrow 16-15 win over Scotland. In the 79th minute, Duhan van der Merwe scored a crucial try, giving Scotland a chance to snatch victory. However, Finn Russell's conversion attempt missed, and Roberts noticed the referee had moved Russell’s kicking tee two meters closer to the touchline than where the try was scored, tightening the angle.

Fans and pundits, including Brian O'Driscoll, criticized the officiating, suggesting the change could have influenced the outcome, especially as Russell's kick barely missed the left upright. Roberts also pointed out that van der Merwe could have improved the angle by cutting further infield before grounding the ball.
