Radio Nova introduces new 6 at 6 rugby show

Radio Nova is introducing its own unique twist on The Six Nations Championship, with a 6 at 6 programme running for seven weeks.

Starting this Thursday, Brent Pope will join Pat Courtenay in the studio as they look forward to the weekend’s games. And first up is France V Ireland, in the Stade De France.

Does Brent Pope still believe we can claim the Grand Slam as he has so often stated, or with a resurgent Scotland has his expectations dropped?

The station says about the new show: “Of course, with no Brent on TV this year, Nova is the only place to get your annual Popey fix. And being 2 Kiwis, Brent and Pat are not afraid to say it as they see it. No holds barred, no prisoners taken the ‘6 At 6’ will become the home of honest, excellent punditry.

“You can expect it to get a little hot and heavy in places. There will be special guests dropping by and the lads will be encouraging listeners to call directly into the studio to challenge the two men on their opinions.”

The ‘6 At 6’ with Pat Courtenay and Brent Pope starts this Thursday 1st, sponsored by Honda.
