              As much as I would love to see the game, I don't know if I want to pay the $20 cover charge I will have to pay to see it at the pub. It seems that there will no longer be any coverage of NH games on Fox Sports World. I remember them covering the 6 nations in the past, so I guess they must have given up the rights or something...

              At least they still show the Super 12 and Tri-nations.

                You mean they don't broadcast the major competitions anymore...

                  Yes they do, it's the ones that nobody cares about that are being dropped.

                    • Seriously, I wish they were showing those games. You can never get too much rugby (although my wife might disagree ).

                          I checked the FoxSports guide here. No 6 Nations! Not even replays! The weekly rugby show "Inside Rugby" starts next week so I imagine I will have to make do with the excerpts they show. I might even have to tune into the BBC radio coverage on the BBC website.

                          BTW, Cal, for the Waratahs -v- Crusaders trial match tonight, the bulk of the Crusaders pack - the big guns - along with Justin Marshall will start on the bench. The Waratahs are breaking up the game into quarters and trying various hookers, half backs and 5/8s for 20 minutes each. The result seems unimportant.

                          • Ah Super 12 is warming up for the off is it?

                            You would have to back the Crusaders whatever their composition - the best team in the SH by a country mile.

                            they might even manage to avoid relegation from the French and English top leagues.

                            A bit of playful banter there Caligastia if you were wondering But with a serious point behind it too as our Leagues have French and British Isles referees and with either no Super 12 side would win anything.

                            The same is true in reverse of course. Until we can drag your refs up to standard.

                            Let me save time here:

                              Literally. It was 30 C and humid here today. Tonight it's 25 C and humid. And they're playing rugby in it. And you can about 5 degrees for Brisbane. And the S12 season proper kicks off within 2 weeks. Someone's going to die in one of the games played here.

                              • That is truly ludicrous - you just cannot play in those conditions!
