Is this game today or tomorrow? Just checked the iPlayer schedule (so I can go and see if a pub is gonna be showing it or not) and it aint on today at all and is showing it as being on 8pm tomorrow night? :|

iPlayer shows things 24hrs after they're on live - It's tonight at 8 (weather permitting).

Ah right :/ its just all other games (this week and last) apart from this game have all been aired on iplayer at the same time as the game. eg. England game is live on there now as it just follows the live schedule the games last week were on iplayer around 20 mins after they finished.

Any word on the pitch inspection?

 

[Rhondda Rudie]

BBC said 6.15 UK time,they should be doing it now.

French gameplan: give it to any 100kg+ bloke who's in front of Keith Earls.

I think he will need a lot of help containing Rougerie. (Or Picamoles or Harinordoquy, who often run that channel)

They've just taken the cover off it, looks OK for the moment (Match can still be cancelled by ref decision up to 15 mins from kick off)

 

[welshglory]

Bloody hell you would think that in a country like France they would have undersoil heating. This is a joke
