In the absence of live TV coverage, what will you be doing at 1800 BST Saturday night for the Superleague Grand Final?

SC Seventy-one thousand of us (you? them?) anyway, not me personally, watched Wigan claim their first Grand-Final for 12 years, after finishing top of the league, having led for most (maybe all) the season... St Helens were unable to close an initial 16-0 early deficit - just as they had stuggled to close in the league through the season, pulling past Warrington into 2nd spot in the last few weeks. SC #29

I happened to be in a pub in KL and saw the second half of the New Zealand v Samoa game; I'm not sure if the Four Nations games will be showing, though I fear not...
I checked as well for the Wales France game on the listings, without joy. Do any of the pubs in Bangkok show the Malaysian satellite channels? Astro carries some Heineken Cup games, and a couple of Guinness Premiership and French Top XIV games every week, as far as I can tell (sorry - last bit was a bit OT - I'll copy to the rugby on the box thread) SC #30

NZ vs England in the first 4 Nations on saturday
luckily, Im back in NZ atm, so will get to see it from what ive seen so far (England vs Maori, Kiwis vs Samoa) The Kiwis should be outplaying the English. Benji Marshall will be hard to contain if they allow him room. Hope you find a tv showing it SC #31

Benji Marshall will be hard to contain if they allow him room. Hope you find a tv showing it SC Amongst the few rays of sunshine in my current abode is access to the Malaysian satellite TV channels; I watched the game on Astro; England looked quite outclassed, although the scoreboard didn't really show that; I missed 10 or 15 minutes of the first half with a reception glitch, but England missed a lot of tackles. Hopefully they'll get better... I think they have Australia next week Sadly, France v Wales and Ireland v Scotland are not being shown in Malaysia...or, probably, anywhere, though I saw the equivalent fixtures in Dubai last year...

The kiwis can play much better than what i saw yesterday. Too many dropped balls and they had a spell when they went to sleep when the English scored 2 quick tries. Marshall had a good game as well as Kenny-Dowell. The Aussies will be hard to beat imo.

I found the Australia - PNG game too frustrating to watch, and ended up watching the repeated Stade de France v Toulon game on the other channel. PNG lost out through some woeful errors, but managed to play hard for the full 80 minutes. I'll probably not stay up to listen to Ireland Scotland - the France Wales game sounded pretty gripping, from the match reports... SC #34

Only 7 1/2 months to go to Wembley, and the Preliminary Round of the Carnegie Challenge Cup has already got under way.
I'll have an appalling conflict of loyalties if Edinburgh Eagles and Warrington Wolves both make it to the final... SC #35

I came down to the pub to see if I could get the result of the Warrington Wizards v Carluke Tigers 1st round game on the internet (and, to be fair, to watch Biarritz Bath in the other code) and the place is now hoaching with Korean birds down to see Korea v Iran in the roundball Asian Cup - its enough to get me into fights!
A bloke just walked in held his hands aloft and shouted "Eeeran" "Koh Reea" the ladies replied "Wembelee" and they all looked at me like I was mad. Obviously they don't understand the importance of this weekend... It will be the first time the Challenge Cup has ever been to Carluke, or outside England, come to that... SC ... and they all looked at me like I was mad... reminds me of the European soccer qualifier against Lithiuania, in a pub in Taipei, but that is another story entirely #36

I'm sat in my local listening to Warrington v Hull FC on the wireless (how inappropriate) internet in my local, and it keeps dropping out every few seconds.
Typical bloody rugby league.... SC Edit: OFFS! "Wa...tac...bt.np.tt.and that's the icing on the cake! that puts ther game beyond the doubt, and takes it back over the Pennines...salt into the wounds of the wire" - why could they not get ten seconds of transmission together when the ball was in play? So that was a short spell at the top of the table for the Wire... Edited by StreetCowboy, 2011-04-25 22:44:10. #38

So I'm sat in the pub thinking - what games are playing? And I get Hull KR against Bratford on the BBC Radio Humberside live commentary and its perfect. OFFS! When its a game I have not the slightest interest...
at least it drowns out the commentary from the English club soccer on the tv, though. Anyway, Hull KR running away with it 'The referee blows his whistle...Hull KR convincing winners against Bradford 46 points to 18' SC EDIT: Might join Smokie in the 'virtual stink' for Widnes v Hull in the Challenge Cup next week, Saturday afternoon...

"... and Hull FC get a try after the match ... 15 point score... last action of the day at the Stobart Stadium, Widnes Vikings 26, Hull FC 50"
Smokie will be pleased! Wakefield 18, Castleford 20 in 'next goal the winner' extra time and frustratingly, Radio Merseyside reception perfect on the wireless... bet it won't be for the Final though. Huddersfield Catalans tomorrow, and also Bradford Wigan, should be good, but I'll probably not stay up late to listen, as its a school night. SC #40

I'm surprised no-one has seen fit to discuss the State of Origin games, which are live on Astro, but sadly, during office hours (including the repeats)
Are all the games on a Wednesday evening? SC #41

Can any of the pubs get BBC games, one way or another? Any chance of the Warrington v Wigan Challenge Cup Quarter-Final on 23rd July?
SC The thought of taking the opportunity to go and visit my dear old mother, and catch the game that way, crossed my mind momentarily... #42

Do you get Eurosport for the European rugby union? I'm toying with the idea of going somewhere to watch the Challenge Cup quarter-final against Wigan - it'll be live on BBC, and I hope, Orbit Showtime, though I suppose I should check before I take the plans too far... it would be embarrassing to go to Goodfellas in Bur Dubai and find it was not on...

Sad flatCappers with nothing better to do than trawl the internet might be surprised to see the hosts England and their neighbours playing second fiddle to their Antipodean rivals.
from http://www.rlef.eu.c...ague-returns-to The 2011 Gillette Four Nations tournament commences on Friday October 28 at the Halliwell Jones Stadium, when holders New Zealand take on Australia in a repeat of last year’s Four Nations Final. The match will kick off at 8.00pm. The following day tournament hosts England take on Wales at the Leigh Sports Village with the match kicking off at 2.30pm. SC #48

Queensland win 34-24 to clinch the series in the final State of Origin game, the last in Darren Lockyer's 36 games. Johnathon Thirlston was stretchered off with a season-ending knee injury, in front of a record-equaling partisan crowd at the Suncorp Stadium.
Queensland started the game with four converted tries in a perfect 30 minutes, but by half-time New South Wales had clawed back two tries and a conversion. Despite dominating for fifteen minutes after the break, NSW could not close the gap sufficiently, and Queensland deserved their winning margin. Next stop in my calendar - Warrington host Wigan at the Halliwell Jones in the Quarter-Finals of the Challenge Cup, on the 24th of this month Sadly, I doubt Astro will be carrying that... SC #50

SC The top two teams in Superleague meet tonight in the Quarter-finals of the Challenge Cup (live on BBC 2, if you can get that - 2230 Thai time). Also tomorrow in the afternoon recorded on Orbit Showtime... Warrington, who came away 24-6 winners from Wigan in their first meeting in the league this season, are chasing a third successive Challenge Cup. I'll be listening to the game on the internet; I decided the Halliwell Jones was a trip too far for a game of rugby; though maybe on Sunday I'll be checking the internet for wembley tickets... In the other quarter-finals tomorrow, Hull entertain last year's runners-up Leeds, St Helens host Hull Kingston Rovers and Huddersfield travel to Castleford. SC |
