Weekend viewing highlights
Afcon 2012 is down to the last eight contenders. The Zambian ‘Copper Bullets’ will take aim at the ‘Falcons of Jediane’ from Sudan.
The ‘Elephants’ from Cote d’Ivoire will look to trample ‘Nzalang Nacional’ on their own stomping ground.
The Gabon ‘Panthers’ will look to feast on ‘The Eagles’ from Mali while Ghana’s ‘Black Stars’ will want to be the only object roaming the West African skyline – with no Tunisian ‘Carthage Eagles’ in sight – at the end of the 90 minutes.
England look to be on course to avenge the pummeling they suffered at the hands of Pakistan in the first two tests after a blistering start to the first day.
The IRB Sevens circuit is back in full swing with the final day of the New Zealand installment live on SuperSport.
