Anyone know who's got the TV rights this year?
I've been trying to find out which channel(s) is/are screening the England v France game tomorrow, with little success so far...

Not too sure - Does anyone happen to know if Phil Christophers is in the team? I couldn't work out from the telegraph news if he was replacing or being replaced.

(I went to school with him and it is always good to see a mate do well)

Great News - I am working till 4 - so at least I will be able to see most of it.

Answered my own Q re: Phil Christophers though - just on the bench. Ah well, maybe he'll get a run out anyway, especially knowing the dirty tactics of the French!!

edited cos I can't spell!

Really looking forward to this, but with the ManU-Arse match then Italy-Wales, may well be by the time the Englad match is on

As to what channel, do you not just sit down in the pub and let them sort that out

PS is that the best smily in the world or what

A Dafydd y Gwas ddim yn iach.
Mae'r baban yn y crid yn crio,
A'r gath wedi scrapo Joni bach.
Sosban fach yn berwi ar y tan,
Sosban fawr yn berwi ar y llawr,
A'r gath wedi scrapo Joni bach.

What odds? On I would wager.

I grew up in the great era, watching rugby as it should be played.

I blame the modern game and demise of mining for the criminal state of Welsh rugby.

I nearly got a severe beating while watching rugby as a lad (I was about 7) because I wanted to support the team in red

I disagree about "rugby as it should be played" the modern game is fantastic, real atheletes, not just a group of aggressive fat blokes

Wales will be great again, I just hope England will always be better

When I played it, rugby was supposed to be a game played by aggressive fat blokes - none of this athletic poncing about

There will only be one contender for the grand slam this year and they wear white.

Went to Rome last year for the Italy game - fantastic experience which will be repeated next year. I'd like to see the Italians notch up a win this year - either Scotland or Wales, I don't mind which.
