Seconds Out... Round Two!

It's one of the most exciting clashes in the rugby calendar- and for the poor old English team, their Six Nations fixture against Wales takes place on the hallowed turf of the Millennium Stadium. So Rhod and Corkey, as always, will be right there in the thick of things in the Hayes in Cardiff, mixing with the fans ahead of the big game.

On the Saturday 14 February 2009 show

SIX NATIONS: LOVE IT
Whether or not you're a rugby fan, there's something special about a Six Nations Wales v England clash in Cardiff, and we like to think that, in their own inimitable way, Rhod and Corkey help get things going in the city centre ahead of the game. This Saturday, we're live from the Owain Glyndwr pub in the Hayes in the city centre, and, provided our batteries don't run out, we'll bring you an hour an a half of fun and banter. Much of it at the expense of English fans (sorry about that England fans)- though as its Valentines Day and love will possibly be in the air (or something like it anyway, depending on what time of day you take the measurement) who knows, maybe we'll go easy on them...

NEVER MIND THE LENGTH
Keener fans of the show will know that we're thirty minutes shy of the usual two hours... it's all because of a certain other major sporting fixture taking place before the rugby gets underway; Swansea City taking on another Premiership giant in the FA Cup fourth-round. Many of you will know that Rex the Janitor, a stalwart of the programme, is a lifelong Swansea fan, so we're hoping that at some point on Saturday he'll take a break from rigging and elucidate us to what the fuss is all about.

Send us your omens!
As always we want to hear about any omens you've seen ahead of the Wales v England game, that might point to a victory (or otherwise). Seen something suspicious in the bath that could only mean a right royal victory for the Welsh? Were your recently-born nephew's first words "it's sure to be a close game, but I give it to Wales."

Whatever omens you've seen or sensed, let us know about them - send them in using the form below. Rhod will no doubt be telling us what omens he's detected - albeit using fairly impossible clues which Corkey will try valiantly to decode.

Also on the show Corkey will be testing Rhod's knowledge of rugby nicknames in what will doubtless be a torrid instalment of "Who's in the Bag?", we'll have more rugby-inspired features, your emails, and plenty of great music.

Tune in from 11 AM - or better still, come down and see us live at the Hayes, Cardiff.
