Do Setanta broadcast in HD? Sky's HD coverage is awesome, especially on a big screen.

I think you'll find Justin Fashanu is still very much alive and very 'straight.' It was his brother John who was gay and died under tragic circumstances.

Many years ago, on a visit to the USA, I bought a t-shirt which read "My two favourite teams are the Redskins and WHOEVER is playing Dallas." It had a picture of a cowboy being chased by a hatchet-wielding Indian. Now that's pretty much how I feel about Leicester and Wasps...GO BRISTOL!

Any video footage available anywhere? I'd particularly love to see Munster's four Kiwis doing their own Haka to the All Blacks.

I have just watched the 2009 Calendar version (not by choice - it's work!) and I just can't imagine too many English fat boys posing buck naked like this. Incidentally, this one includes a...

"For every father who spends his weekends stomping up and down a touchline..." I know that feeling. After three years of Tag rugby my 8 year old is in his first season of contact. Seeing him flying into tackles and rucks, with no thought of injury (which is as it should be), sends my heart...

I was staying near Bath for the weekend and watched the BBC news on Saturday evening. BBC News West announced that "a second string Bath went down at home to Leicester." No mention of the Tigers line-up. Those poor little second stringers, getting beaten up by the Leicester bully boys...
