    Still cant believe this is being held at such a critical time of the six nations! Dont get me wrong i'm really looking forward to seeing this awesome line up of players from both hemispheres go head to head but i'll probably be wincing every time o'driscoll gets tackled. If any of the irish (or welsh for that matter) were to get injured surely there will be uproar?

    I know this was already discussed a while back but now that were closer to the game and Ireland and Wales are still on track for a big showdown i cant help but wonder what kind of match this is going to be with 3 irish and 5 welsh players on the northern hemisphere squad. In other words will they give their all or will it played ala golden oldies style?

    Well, it's definitely on BBC1:

    Rugby Union: Grandstand
    Sat 5 Mar, 2:30 pm - 4:30 pm 120mins

    Rugby union plays its part in helping areas of devastation following the Asian Tsunami disaster with a special exhibition match at Twickenham, featuring representative sides from the northern and southern hemispheres. Sir Clive Woodward and Serge Blanco lead the northern hemisphere side while the team from south of the equator includes Wallaby captain and scrum-half, George Gregan, All Black captain and centre, Tana Umaga, and South African captain and hooker, John Smit.

    Don't know about RTE, cos their website sucks.

    I don't know if anyone saw the Soccer version of this with sckevchenko (sp?) select Vs Ronaldhino select....its just exibition match...there's very little tackling, if any in a match like this..but try telling that to the Irish player who's carreer was ended in a match like this through injury...who was it again Niall Frances or someone?
    Anyway, i'd be amsed if there was a injury...and if there was it would be a self inflicted ankle twist, or a hamstring pulling up (uh-oh O'Driscoll!)
