There’s a huge amount of sport on TV this weekend; earlier this morning, England faced off New Zealand in the Women’s Rugby World Cup final, while the Rugby League Semi-Final kicks off shortly. Tomorrow, there’s the T20 World Cup Final, plus throughout the whole weekend we can enjoy some Brazilian Grand Prix action, and there’s all the usual football you can expect this time of year.
Besides that, there’s also so many great games out right now there’s barely a reason to leave the house! To be fair, it’s probably a bit cold and/or wet out, so you probably won’t want to when you’ve got God of War: Ragnarok to play through!
