You may have seen the very exciting news that BBC Sports Personality of the Year will be staged in Liverpool this year.

After 53 years in London, we moved the event outside of the capital for the first time ever two years ago. Our time at the NEC Birmingham was a huge success and last year nearly 8,000 people were able to view the show live, creating an incredible atmosphere.

This Saturday's Six Nations triple header is one of those rare days when I wish I had a proper job and got weekends off.

Can I recommend a lie-in followed by a large late breakfast, a bit of Footy Focus on the settee and then down the pub for EIGHT hours of action, previews and analysis of Wales v Italy, Ireland v Scotland and France v England.

Get there for our preview show at 2pm. John Inverdale will be joined in Paris by Jeremy Guscott and Austin Healey. We'll have the usual mix of chat and features, including a fascinating interview with Warren Gatland and Shaun Edwards done by Jonathan Davies. We'll also have a tribute to the French back three that dazzled the Scottish two weeks ago.
