For you Rugby (Union) fans in the USA, BBC America has been showing England's 6 Nations matches on the last two Saturdays and will do so again this coming Saturday.

I watched both. I don't really get Rugby strategy or rules and its not as fun IMO as Australian Rules Football. But I like the variety.

"You're going home in a Pompey ambulance... Assuming they can still afford one."

As a Saints fan all I can say is YES! SUCK IT POMPEY! I was born next door to Fratton Park and grew up with my idiot cousins being rabid supporters, and seeing how Pompey were when Saints got relegated, I am enjoying this immensely.

Good diversity between countries in the last eight of the Champions League. France (Bordeaux, Lyon) and England (Man. Utd., Arsenal) get two teams in and four other countries get one apiece (Italy - Inter, Spain - Barcelona, Germany - Bayern Munich, Russia - CSKA Moscow).

Also, four of the last eight (ManU, Bordeaux, Barca, Inter) were champions of their domestic leagues last season, as a note to those who complain about the Champions League not having enough champions.
