Don't touch that dial... here's the sport on TV this weekend

If you can’t be at Lansdowne Road this weekend, on the couch with us is the best seat in town.
  • One to watch: There’s a rugby game on Sunday in Dublin, right?
  • One to Sky+: If you’re watching the Ireland v England match, don’t forget to tape Man U v Everton. Could be another 4-4.
  • One to skip: Who has the time for skiing this weekend?
