THE START OF the year has been something of a slow-burner but that will all change over the coming days with an unholy feast of sport hurtling down the tracks.
The beginning of the Six Nations campaign is always a significant weekend in the sporting calendar but there is so much more on offer with a couple of big Premier League games down for decision, racing at Leopardstown, the club hurling semi-finals and, of course, the small matter of Super Bowl 50.
It all makes for a busy weekend of live sport and to ensure you can plan your day(s) appropriately, here is an hour-by-hour guide to what’s happening where and when.
Happy viewing!
