A packed day of rugby at Twickenham
It's a big day for rugby fans in Twickenham.
Not only is the final round of the 2011-12 IRB Sevens World Series underway at Twickenham Stadium, but Harlequins face a momentous day at The Stoop.
The Rugby Union side secured top spot of the premiership table last week with a valiant effort away at Sale. The outcome providing Quins a home semi-final against 4th place Northampton Saints.
Both teams have made it to the semi-finals on previous occasions (Quins only once) but neither have progressed into the final.
With the Saints approaching today's game with some key players missing, Harlequins have to wonder if this is their year.
London’s Mayor appears to be in a no-win situation with campaigners against a new airport in the Thames Estuary saying better use should be made of Heathrow and Gatwick, while campaigners around Heathrow and Gatwick say no more capacity should be allowed there.
Boris Johnson has suggested building a new airport near Gravesend to the east of London but the idea has received heavy criticism.
Meanwhile airlines say the lack of capacity in London is forcing them to look abroad, which could mean UK passengers in future have to route via the continent to get to far flung places. posted by Radio Jackie News Team @ 7:57 am
