Roy ClarkIf they [England] do well without me in India, then good on 'em. I'm a sports fan. Whatever's good for England is good for me.

E N GardinerI don't watch movies a lot. I watch sporting events. Because you can never tell how they're going to end.
Michael DouglasI agree with women's rugby. At an early age, I think girls are better and more skilful players than boys. Whether the game goes professional or not is a difficult one because obviously you need a support base, and the support base in Wales at the moment is generally for male rugby. But I've got no issue with women playing rugby - it's a great sport that should be played by everyone.
