There is plenty of great features on 4BR to keep you busy over the next 24 hours, before the big kick off in South Africa.

Editorial:

The usual hard hitting editroial sees 4BR cast its eye over some of the resons why it may well be ‘All quiet on the Preston Front’ next weekend and the true position of the BFBB when it comes to liaising.

We also give a early boost in praise of what is surely to become the most demonised instrument in the world over the next month – the vuvuzela.
