Superb! Wouldn't have been able to make the game if it was Saturday.

The obvious two choices for the telly, and they usually choose the more attractive game for the Saturday and I can't argue with their decision.

And the draw for the quarter finals will be made straight after the Saints v Catalan game.

Common sense at last.

One has to worry about the attendance for this one now it's on't tele.

BBC game in front of 5,000? Embarassing.

About time.

Hopefully it'll be televised and not behind closed doors.
