Six Nations Rugby: Italy will take on Ireland at Rome's StadioOlimpico. Italy was beat by Wales lastweek. Ireland coach Joe Schmidt haschallenged Ireland to emerge from any professional-era comfort blanket to settheir Six Nations campaign back on track in Italy this weekend. Head coach Schmidt has laid down the gauntletto his Ireland squad to react far quicker to unexpected setbacks in Rome onSaturday than in last weekend's 27-22 loss in Scotland. Wales will take onEngland later this afternoon at the Principality Stadium, Cardiff. The stadium at the Principality Stadium canbe on or off, and England, for some reason, given the decision to make, were toying with the Welsh, but have finallyinformed them to take the roof off. Gamesmanship. In international Cricket, this weekend the ICC Intercontinental Cup will be contested atMong Kok in Hong Kong. Hong Kong willtake on the Netherlands through Monday. In NCAA basketball the number 2 Villanova Wildcatstravel to Cincinnati to take on the number 24 Villanova Musketeers, in whatpromises to be a challenging game. #3Kansas Jayhawks travel to Lubbock, Texas, to face the Texas Tech Red Raiders,and are heavily favored. The Clemson Tigers faced UNC just last night,and this morning will face the Duke Blue Devils in Durham, North Carolina. | | | Man City Lounges | Premier League Soccer is reeling after the UKParliament handed them a Vote of No Confidence on Thursday. The score is parliament 1- management 0apparently, as parliament, particularly and passionately negative on PremierLeague's management, said it must reform itself or face new UK legislation todo so. (I wonder if the UK Parliamentcan reform FIFA while they are at it) Noreport so far on how the Scots or Northern Irish voted on English and Welsh soccer. This weekend, Premier League will host 7 contestson Saturday, 2 on Sunday. Arsenal andHall promise an exciting match. Hull’simprovement under Marco Silva has been astonishing, especially since they soldtwo of their best players in Jake Livermore and Robert Snodgrass. They’ll approachthis game in the same way as their 0-0 draw at Old Trafford. Eight men behindthe ball, a physical striker and quick counter-attacks using their full-backs.Arsenal, however, are in danger of losing their top-four place and need threepoints badly after two embarrassing losses. -- Posted By Rex to Speed o Rex at 2/11/2017 04:03:00 AM -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "omnisport" group.
