A thread for the sports fans out there. In the last week we've had the Superbowl aired live on BBC and the start of the 6 nations rugby so I thought it was a good topic to get talking about.

Did anyone watch the Superbowl? Great to see BBC getting to show the game, and I was impressed with the lineup they got for the studio too. A cracking game as well.

As for the rugby, what a start to the tournament!! Scotland looked themselves unfortunately and I can't understand why promising young players never perform when they get called up. Italy need to go some way I think to get much more than 4th in the tournament. Ireland are in trouble, injuries from game 1 including a key player, a very old group of players now that hasn't bled youngsters for some time. France looked alright, and should be more reliable under the new coaches system so who knows. Wales couldn't have asked for a better start watching England self destruct in the final 15 minutes being so far ahead. I can't wait for the second weekend!!
