Just print out and stick to the fridge door, so that 'Er Indoors knows when you'll be unavailable. They'll not be able to accuse you of not giving them enough notice. LINK

Can't wait, and fortunately Jane enjoys rugby almost as much as I do. Can't think what she sees in all those muscular young men running around in their shorts.
The Ireland game !

Im alreay prepared with my RBS 6 nations app. on the phone. The memsahib is also a fan...just need to get the two sprogs involved now so I can enjoy uninterupted viewing instead of the usual....."can we have nick junior on now...this is boring"
I was thinking that taking them to see a game might up their interest, I was considering taking them to see Wasps at High Wycombe but they've fooked off to Coventry now.

Adams park is a shit hole so you had a lucky escape! Get yourself down to the all conquering Saracens at Alianz park if you want them to enjoy an exciting attacking brand of rugby Come up the M1 to watch my lot if you want to see turgid, 1 dimensional defensive based surrender rugby Alternately, keep your foot in and come off the M1 onto the M6 and get up to the Ricoh arena and see how a resurgent Wasps are doing now they have a bit of dosh behind them!

Nah! You want them to see a winning team.............Bath for example. Moor right outside The Rec. A pint or three in The Boater or Rising Sun by Pultney Weir. What could be more perfick?

Quins are probably closest to us, then I looked at Slough RFU but I think they might enjoy a stadium view first rather than being at ground level.
Interestingly the oldest's new teacher is a Kiwi and has already been sowing the seeds of Rugby to her class.

I've a birth defect - I was born in the Barratt and never escaped Northamptonshire except for brief spells of work or holidays. No choice for me who's mast I nail my colours to! Bedford are well worth a look, but, now I live out on the northern edge of the county nipping across the border into Bedfordshire is no longer a viable option.

The good thing about the Ricoh at Coventry, is you can guarantee turning up and walking in. I believe they're still doing cheap tickets. It's a lovely modern stadium, and Wasps are playing an attractive, attacking style of rugby. They're still putting a lot of effort in to attract and maintain a good crowd apparently. Of course Baarth is a beautiful setting. Rog There's always Clifton Lane if you want to keep their feet firmly on the ground

Best to keep em local. if they dont like the experience the journey home is a short one...London Welsh is a doer, I'm more inclined towards the Taffs rather than the Sweaty Socks

Just think, we are at home to Sale Sharks, Steve Diamond has done wonders with Sale, he also knows how big Jim operates having had a spell with us before heading off to be in charge of the Ruskies. I'm not expecting Santa to bring me a sack full of points on Christmas eve tbh! You may well go to watch two teams give it their all in the championship, lady luck might smile on the exiled taffs and you will have had an ace day. Me? With a heavy heart we will probably face up to Sale having had a severe spanking at the hands of Leinster home and away

I happen to believe that any live game will swing it. Rugby is a game for all shapes and sizes. What's not to love.
I was a bit pissed off with some news coverage of the upcoming 6N?
Claiming that Ireland v England is a championship decider, before a ball has been kicked, appears insensitive in the extreme.
It's akin to soccer's hype on the England team before any major competition.
We can do well without such nonsense.
