Rugby Six Nations 2009

http://www.rugbyzone.com/default.aspx has the best coverage and pay per view options.

http://www.rbs6nations.com/en/home.php will be good for fixture info and recaps.

I would prefer to order Sentanta sports for the month, but $15 for one channel seems like a waste and I would need a digital box as well.

I support England just because I am English. The beauty of being British is that if your home team gets knocked out, there is often another British team still going to support, and if they are all out, with a little bit of luck Ireland is still there to support.

Rubbish, kilts are there to be worn. She's scared you'll pull

Speaking of which, is Wilkinson still out for England after his knee surgery?

He's finished, there are that desperate they've brought back Goode

Just out of curiosity, how much do tickets run for rugby matches over there? Curious to see how it compares to US sporting events...

Probably bet a decent seat for £60 in most grounds maybe nearer £80 for Twickenham

Scotland and whoever is beating France! It will be on Setanta Sports here in the USA.

Dinna get me started!
In general I dislike all things English. It's only natural. In the specific I get on fine with many - like my mother, my wife, my inlaws, almost all my British friends, cadburys, cornish pasties etc etc.
(It's really a "what have the Romans ever done for us?" thing)
Luckily, I dont personally know the sports teams, so they fall under the general category.
