On HTV Wales (as us traditionalists still call it) they just showed Gerald Davies' four tries against Hawkes Bay on the '71(?) Lions tour. What a rare treat for rugby fans of any hue.
Can just about remember the tour, with the Lions just pipping the AB's after a tight series. Heady days - it was the year the rest of the school caught me up in height and I was given the glory of leaving the second row and joining the clean shirts at 12! Mum saved a mint on Daz that season ;)

Beanie, do you get the Fox Soccer Channel? They have UK sports news with cricket/rugby results/news etc. :(
After watching that occasionally, I see with some "league" cricket results teams having "bonus" points, I've yet to fathom out what they are.

To be honest Dave I watch so little TV over here it's hardly worth me having one. We normally stick on a DVD or sit out on the deck with a cold one:happy:

Take the "cold one" to councilling - it's amazing what they can do for someone's cold disposition. Or try putting an Andy Williams or Frank Sinatra cd on.
