Don't touch that dial... here's the sport on TV this weekend

Top-class Heineken Cup rugby, Gaelic football and some racing. And then Mad Men’s back.
  • One to watch: Forget about all the 6 Nations stuff and get stuck into some Heineken Cup action again.
  • One to Sky+: I’ll be dreaming about certain female cast members of Modern Family or my teeth falling out when the Aussie Rules is on tomorrow morning.
  • One to skip: As the song goes: I don’t like cricket; I love i… no actually I just don’t like it. Sorry Indian Premier League guys!
