Enjoy Rugby in Glorious 3D Next Month

England's Six Nations match at home to Wales on 6 February will be Europe's first live 3D sports broadcast.

The match against Wales, and the game against Ireland at Twickenham on 27 February, will be broadcast into 40 Odeon and Cineworld cinemas in the UK.

Rugby Football Union operations director Paul Vaughan praised the move as an "exciting new development".

"This demonstrates England rugby has a rich history and an even richer future," he added.

"I hope rugby fans will pack cinemas across the country to support the team and mark this milestone."

The broadcast has been organised by England sponsor O2 and will use polarised 3D cameras at Twickenham.

But will people want to trudge to the cinema when they can watch the matches in the comfort of their own homes? And if the snow keeps falling in some areas of the country, as predicted, the cinemas will be inaccessible to the majority of people...
