OK, I'll look out for him (them) in future matches! (He wasn't playing in yesterday's match).

P.S. Have just googled him and discovered he plays XIII-aside rugby. The 6 Nations is XV-aside, which will explain why he didn't play!

Well I did say I know nothing about Rugby - sorry (now I feel a complete idiot - which is nothing new!!! )

You're no more of an idiot than I am as far as any rugby is concerned! I'm always asking OH why this and how come. I just like watching what looks like disorganised chaos, but where in fact each player is where he's supposed to be (not to mention all those hunks charging around...)

Thought I'd pull this back up to the top and tell you all I just spotted that the England game will be shown on BBCAmerica:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugb...sh/9403504.stm

(see bottom of page - doesn't say if it will be live but I assume so).

yeah, it should be live...but the quality was a bit meh, in my area at least it isn't HD...quality was better being streamed on iPlayer

Still i'll be downloading these weekend games for later viewing as I won't be able to watch them I don't think.

Same as that mate. The quality of the play this year from all the teams has been way above that of last year already. Few silly mistakes here and there but overall a good tournament.

Big wk-end guys/dolls...
Get the cold ones ready....

Saturday 26th February - Italy v Wales - 2.30pm
Saturday 26th February - England v France - 5pm
Sunday 27th February - Scotland v Ireland - 3pm

Anybody brave to give results?

Cable co. are coming to install the DVR today, finally persuaded H2B that if he wanted a lie in on Saturdays (its shown at 7:30am here) we would need some form of recording device.

We are planning a trip to the UK in September, I have mentioned that we could go to New Zealand instead, so far its a no go ... bahhhhh

Oh well ...common England !!!!

Soon then, the quality of the game may approach that of Rugby League.

What is Rugby League?

The poor cousin to rugby union.

But only they get payed a hell of a lot more...

I'm talking quality of the sport, not the $. League is on-par with American football, blokes falling on the floor, holding onto the ball (yawn).

RL = lots of exciting broken play, passing along the line, skilful handling, lots of tries.

RU = watching at least 20 of the 40 minutes with the ball hidden under a pile of fat blokes whereby neither the audience, the referee or most of the players have a clue where the ball is or what is happening, very few tries, lots of boring kicking from one end of the pitch to the other with not a lot happening.

Depends which R.U team you watch.,,ive seen crap games coming from R.L also..it's not all sexy to watch there neither

I guess your a R.U or a R.L type of guy...myself is a R.U through and through, but that's me coming from a Rugby Nation such as Wales..
