Don’t touch that dial… here’s the sport on TV this weekend

Get on the couch.
  • One to watch: It’s a relatively quiet weekend with no 6 Nations and no Premier League action but Leeds and Man City has something of the 70s about it, right?
  • One to Sky+: League Sunday – get it done.
  • One to skip: NBA All-Star game, if Bieber’s cameo last year is anything to go by. Vom.
