Sport schedule hit by weather for second successive week

The weekend's sporting fixtures have been affected by the freezing weather for a second successive week.

England's Six Nations rugby game in Italy went ahead despite snow, but France's match against Ireland was called off because of a frozen pitch.

The Championship game between Barnsley and Birmingham was one of 20 Football League games to be postponed.

Hull FC's Super League game at Catalans Dragons and several horse racing meetings were also called off.

Race meetings at Newbury, Uttoxeter and Warwick were called off, as was Sunday's card at Hereford, after it failed a course inspection on Saturday morning.

There will be an inspection at 0800 GMT on Sunday ahead of the meeting at Exeter.
