featuring
France v British Isles Durham v Lancashire
The first of a new season of Rugby Special, and what a season it promises to be. The All Blacks start their tour of Wales and Ireland next week, and later in the month Fiji visit these shores.
After the Lions' success in Australia in the summer, what better celebration than a match against France in Paris? Plus the defending
Toshiba County Champions, Durham, start the defence of their title.
