can anyone tell me of any places that will be showing the six nations rugby 2013 particularly he England v Italy game on Sunday, as having work done on the house and the TV is out of action, in the poitou charente region please

Do you not have a sports bar on your patch. Pop in and ask?

Found this by googling "bars six nations charente":

if it isn't too far for you.
Otherwise, as mentioned by CJM, there are always sports bars around, but make sure beforehand that they're showing that match!

thanks for your suggestions the bar is in la Rochelle which is about 1 and half hours away but did Google sports bars and there is one in Ruffec its a hotel with one so have emailed to see if you have to be a resident or not and if they will be showing the match

Just got back from La Rochelle, shopping and lunch (got a nice shirt). Bars in La Rochelle in great number, there's an Irish bar near Les Halles, bound to show all 6 Nations.
Not checked but if not playing, Stade Rochelais are bound to have it on.
Nice to chat but rugby on soon ....

Where did you go cjm? I usually find lunch in La Rochelle costs me my shirt!

Just grazed al fresco, picked up some bits in the market and found a bench. SOH on meat only day, so had to take picnic. Bought some Beaufort that is sublime ... yes, I've eaten there before and it is a pocket burner, but away from the water-line you can find better prices.

Did get a nice shirt from Lafayette.

Sorry for quick off topic but I got caught on Beaufort in Brantome market two years ago.
The usual market trader fat finger bit - and it cost me 65 Euros! But a sublime cheese.
Back on topic

Ireland France - going well! (For a son of Erin anyway)

Can't recall last time I saw France play so badly.

dmu

Their last three matches, maybe? OH is wearing his black armband...

cjm

I should have said in this current comp. Sorry for his loss. I support France, but unable to do that when it's against England. There were too many injuries in both matches today. For me poor weather raises the injury risk.
