football versus rugby
Oh what joy The Hammers unbeaten on the road in their last few games. I only wish that TVNZ could show some of the Premiership action once a week. I know of so many ex-pats who crave for some football action once a week instead of RUGBY RUGBY and more RUGBY. Don't get me wrong, i've been living in NZ for 12 years now and have slipped quite neatly into the; 'if you can't beat em, join em' category and have even started to enjoy the game of rugby.

Blokes I know get their fill of Footie through Sky with no problem.
Nothing wrong with Rugby though the international coverage could be better

Bolton V United isnt on live on sunday morning ....but it is on at the very reasonable time of 08.30am
