This is the second weekend of the tournament which pitches England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France and Italy against each other. The atmosphere in the Stade de France always looks and sounds amazing for these games in Paris and an evening match should be no worse off for it. Ireland lost to Wales last week and will be out to prove themselves; France are usually the stronger side but last week although they won they seemed slow at first against an Italian team which is often the weakest of the six - have the Italians got better or did the French have a bad day?

Live on BBC2 at 8pm, coverage is from 7.30 and you may be want to be here from 7.50 for anthems etc. There's also a chance it may be on BBC America in USA/Canada..
Anyone looking for a warm-up, the England game is on now, but its hard to see whats going on with the snow on the field.
hehe, cheers pat.
Phew, that was an escape. Italians were leading for a while there, looks like they're getting better!

Pitch inspection was a 6:30 [GMT?]
Any news?
No news is good news. Pitch looked good earlier. Had covers on it.
Seine frozen.
*gulp*
-2C in the game in Paris last week, he just said could be -10 today!
Them commentator chaps look freezing!
What is that machine??
So much for studios :)
I've never seen one before, must be heaters!
Big hair dryer, effectively
do these people not need helmets?
Some wear guards but their not common
We have studios in Rugby League...
I hadn't realised Ireland had such a poor record in Paris, I'm sure they're closer-matched elsewhere.
Probably!
Match is off! :(
Ah no, the match is off :(
I'm sorry. 6 minutes before kick off and they call it off? That is shockingly late.
bugger!
Damn! Elvis was just warming up

Wasn't that the point of inspecting the pitch at 6:30. Dissappointing for the fans
first game in 20 years to be cancelled. #sidepodjinx
Imagine all of the Irish fans who have basically went all the way to Paris, inside the stadium and all that for nothing.
Maybe they shouldn't schedule them so late in the day in February.
Booo
"We're gonna need a bigger hair dryer"
I went OUTSIDE to buy Guinness and everything! Now what?
Well that's really disappointing.
Reschedule for tomorrow's Wales match?
That'll be a close match. Would love to watch but have a feeling I may be out somewhere, you guys should go ahead of you can.
not sure we're around either. if someone fancies writing a post though we can put it up.
An intro, not a post.
WTF?
Are Rugby fans also into Country Music as a rule?
I suppose if no one's around...
Next big match or the reschedule of this?
heh. HD channel went to a program about bin men. time to get back to work me thinks.
cheers all!
Sorry to pick a dud..
We could try a different game sometime if people are free.

I think I'm off to watch a film or something.
Got it, thanks. Missed this last week
Feedback: Think this may have been mentioned before but Live Events Commenting crashes mobile safari [iPad 1] way more than Doohickey ever did [rarely]
