The 2010 RBS Six Nations will be used for Europe's first public live 3D sports broadcasts.

Englands two home games from Twickenham, including their opener against Wales on the 6th of February will be broadcast live in 3D to 40 Odeon and Cineworld cinemas throughout the UK. Englands crucial game with Grand Slam holders Ireland on February 27th also recieves the 3D treatment.

RFU operations director Paul Vaughan praised the move as an "exciting new development".

He went on to say, "This demonstrates England rugby has a rich history and an even richer future." " I hope rugby fans will pack cinemas across the country to support the team and mark this milestone."

The broadcast has been organised by England sponsor O2 and will use polarised 3D cameras at Twickenham.

2010 promises to be a breakthrough year for 3D broadcasting with many TV manufacturers unveiling new 3DTV sets and the upcoming launch of Sky's 3DTV service. The 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa from June will also have many games filmed in 3D.
