I see RBS are still continuing with their Six Nations sponsorship until the end of the current contract in 2010, despite pulling out altogether from F1 leaving Williams to find around £10m a year in lost revenue.
Nice to know that as RBS shareholders our public money is being ploughed into the competing Unions.

They're staying with Williams until the end of their contract in 2010, but stopping all trackside advertising after this year.
I'm guessing the F1 stuff is due to existing contracts, which they'd have to pay for anyway, but of course that doesn't stop questions being raised about the 6 Nations sponsorship.

he may be the best winger, I've not seen enough of him to comment, but the best player? Do me a favour. Wrong position. With positions so specialist in Union, if anyone from that code would be there, it would have to be a centre, number 8 or fly-half I would say.

BBC Stiff: "Luarie, can you explain the difference between Rugby League and Rugby Union?"
Laurie Daley: "Rugby What?"
I once saw a quote in a book, (can't remember who said it), and it went something like:
"If I played Rugby Union now, I could keep playing till I'm old and frail"
"If I played Rugby league, I wouldn't last 5 minutes"
