gnu - have you tried looking for an online stream? Some of them are pretty good and I use them to watch premiership matches that would otherwise be available only on Sky.

As for Rooney coming back . . . he was champing at the bit to get on the park yesterday and I think he's well up for it. He plays well off Young and runs at defenders which they hate, so I for one will be glad to see him back.

Full marks to Hodgson for his positive substitutions, and great to see England still going forward to the very end.

Gutted about Ireland losing, but the fans did them proud. Great stuff.
