Don’t touch that dial… here’s the sport on TV this weekend
Even with our fleece-lined Superman onesie, it’s still too cold to be going outside over the next few days. Stick on the fire and enjoy this sporting smorgasbord instead.
One to watch: Get yourself into Six Nations mode by watching the Wolfhounds against England Saxons tonight.
One to Sky+: Late Sunday risers will want to set the box to record the men’s singles final at the Australian Open. It’s an early start if you want to watch it live.
One to skip: Unless you’ve insomnia, it won’t be worth staying up for the Pro Bowl on Sunday night. Save yourself for the real deal next week.
