WEEKEND SPORT

On top of the continuing England v south Africa test match this weekend sees the final pool stage games in the Heineken European Rugby Cup.

This has been a particularly crappy day to end a week that started well then went rapidly downhill, but to distract the weary worker bee there are 13 teams still in contention for the remaining 7 places in the last 8 so there should be some really tense games with some major rugby heavyweights (sadly including Leicester) in serious danger of missing out on the knockout stages of Europes premier club rugby tournament.

Fortunately in Asia we have ESPNStar sports - "the world leader in sport" so they're bound to be showing some of these games live right?

Silly me - Saturday night Star is showing old tennis and on Sunday night "classic boxing", meanwhile ESPN is showing recorded Basketball on saturday night and old football on Sunday night.

What crap. Why do we pay for this shit?

I can't wait till more channels and sports see the light and go live direct to your p.c. thru broadband like the south african cricket so I can watch proper sport instead of people patting balls back to each other over a net or trying to hit some little white lump into a hole miles away.
