    Was wondering that. Didn't "Aunty" cover it last season? They'd be the most likely. Whoever takes it on, I really hope we get some coverage from Japan.

    Brilliant!! Two games in Sydney and one in Brisbane - the two places with a track record on NOT supporting lower level competition, with their attendances stinking up the ARC (well, North Sydney didn't do so bad I suppose..). But why not take the games somewhere that doesn't get Test matches - Canberra, the Gold Coast, several of the smaller NSW towns for instance.

    Let's hope the "rugby heartlands" justify the tag!

    They are our biggest market AndyS...JO'N keeps on spinning that line, despite lower crowd attendances and lower membership that WA which is an expanding franchise!

    ABC(2?) did broadcast a bunch of the games last year, I'd assume they'll do the same again... Should start appearing in the TV Guides over the next few days

    Doesn't look like ABC2 are covering it this year. Very poor form. Looks like its on Fox2 at 530pmAEST though (which is a 3 hour delay I think...)

    Looks like it is only on Fox sport 3, same as Under 20's Comp, which is a real shame for those of us that dont have Fox!

    Ok for me - bit of a bummer for everyone else - mind you after the fiasco ABC put on last year and the fustration factor of sorting out HD channels and some on eastern state times and some not ....

    Anyways I'm happy - will JB's or another establishment show some of the games ?

    If it wasn't illegal to do so, hypothetically speaking now, would anyone be recording these matches?
    I'm hypothetically going to be unable to get to Fox and then will hypothetically be away and the person who hypothetically records my other Rugby is hypothetically away at the moment...
    Feel free to PM me if you like

    Hypothetical PM may or may not come your way Burgs

    I might have to have another look at getting Fox as free to air is so supportive of all things Rugby

    Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    Cheaper than a Season's Membership, Test Ticket and 7-8 trips to Perth

    Not the same as being in the crowd though...
