the obvious link between nuclear holocaust and the 6 Nations
Ah, sports journalism -- it's all about cliche and outrageous analogies. Of which this, from the BBC Wales Sport Six Nations preview, is a prize example:
"Interesting to see that the Doomsday clock, which signifies how close the world is to nuclear disaster, was moved to seven minutes to midnight last week, its "latest" time for nine years.
This could be a week when even the Six Nations is overshadowed if England's clubs go for the nuclear button and opt out of the Heineken Cup along with the French.
Tick tock, tick tock… we watch and wait."
