Allez le blanc...


OK, now for something more uplifting in sport...

Today should be great fun for sport fans.
Both England & Scotland have important Euro 2008 qualifying matches against respective opponents Estonia & Ukraine. Wales & the Republic of Ireland also have European Championship qualifying matches today.
However the main focus this Saturday is not football, but Rugby Union. Or, to be precise, the Rugby World Cup semi-final between England and France in Paris later today (kick-off: 08.00pm BST). It is estimated that about 40,000 England fans will be in the French capital to support the team.
The match will be at the 80,000 seater Stade de France. Although the event is a sell-out, tickets are reportedly exchanging hands for up to £1,400.
Here's hoping Les Rosbifs are victorious in Le Crunch....
England fans join the Paris party
