The South African Grand Prix
The political problems of the past months have been solved, the cars are ready, and this first race of the new season will reveal whether World Champion Alan Jones can continue his domination of this exciting sport.
Commentators Murray Walker and James Hunt, who says:
"World Champion Alan Jones (below) probably won't win the South African Grand Prix today, and the reason is technical. The Kyalami circuit is primarily a test for cars, not drivers. The number one driver in any team would probably only shave a tenth of a second off the reserve driver's lap time. At Kyalami the car is all. This is where the turbo-charged cars, unlike Alan's, should dominate: at 6,000 feet there is 20 per cent less oxygen to power the traditional machines. Turbo-charging compensates for this by forcing more air in, thereby maintaining pressure. As the year progresses, the tide may well turn against the turbo-charged cars. On tighter circuits the time lag between the foot going down and the surge of power is still too great. Not since 1959 and 60 has a driver won the world title twice running: Australian Jack Brabham. Alan Jones is also an Australian, so maybe...

Men's Downhill
As the downhill circuit nears its climax, the world's fastest skiers tackle a course which will be the venue for the 1982 World Championships.

from Murrayfield
Scotland v Wales
A capacity crowd of 70,000 will hope to inspire Scotland, who play in the wake of five defeats in a row since 1975 against Wales. However, it is not surprising that Murrayfield is called the 'Welsh Graveyard' since Wales have suffered nine post-war defeats on this ground.
And at 4.0* Ireland v France
from Lansdowne Road, Dublin
Ireland play their first match of the Championship and after a resounding victory over Wales at the end of last season, are considered a real threat by the French who beat Scotland three weeks ago.

A film series starring Tom Wopat as Luke Duke, John Scheider as Bo Duke, Catherine Bach as Daisy Duke, Denver Pyle as Uncle Jesse Duke, James Best as Sheriff Coltrane, Sorrell Booke as Boss Hogg, Sonny Schroyer as Enos
A routine run-in with Sheriff Rosco Coltrane is nothing for a Duke. But this time it's different, for, unknown to Bo and Luke, there's marijuana in the General Lee.
Now they're in real trouble with the law - and not just the Hazzard County law but the FBI too.
