Wales v Australia on TV

With the forthcoming Wales tour set to be shown on Sky (hate those guys!) I was wondering if anyone knew of an alternative live stream that I could watch it on?

I suppose I'll have to go to the pub otherwise..dammit!

I know its lazy of me but what time are kick offs. If their are early morning I might succumb to the devil sky for a month but if on when pub open then pub it is

Were foreign tour matches shown on UK TV before Sky started to?

Yeah BBC wales usually covered some of them

Not significantly, you'd get the odd match if it wasn't at an ungodly hour or highlight packages.

The kick off for the tests is 10:30 and all on a Saturday so not too bad.

I've been re-searching Top Up TV and I might give that a shot. Dumped my Sky box just after the last Lions tour so it would cost a small fortune to return now.

I was reading a poster in the pub yesterday and I'm pretty sure one test is 6 am (the third)

Thanks buddy

As the self proclaimed Mac Daddy of streaming here, (nobody is dumb enough to actually call me that), I sent you a pm.

In that case is there a link to the Leinster/Ospreys game today? (Totally legal of course...)

Well it's on BBC Wales on TV, so you might be able to get it on the BBC site, try S4C.co.uk too. Have sent you a PM though

Cheers Thomond - didn't realise it's on S4C. Lets me brush up on my Welsh (which is always helpful!)

You can change it to English on satellites for what it's worth.

Its ok thormond i quite enjoy the welsh commentary as long as i ignore how biasd it is

Yeah you're right buddy, my bad. Last test is indeed on at an un-godly hour.

Glad to see it is on terestial tv.

Is that Australian terrestrial TV or British/Welsh terrestrial TV?

9 pm S4C on Saturday evening. As far as I know i don't think the WRU are allowed to sell to SKY tv for regular internationals...!

Are you sure S4C isn't just highlights. I think Sky have the summer tours (they are not protected) - and the game is on at 11am.

Well it says the first test in its entirety in the TV guide and starts at 9 pm and finishes after 11pm.

Maybe, i'll be watching it online at 11am - otherwise someone will ruin the score + I will get english commentary.

It will be in English via the red button.

Am I right in thinking that it's not live on terrestrial?

Confused

Can't get the red button online - Dont have a tv at uni

Also S4C is always rubbish quality - sky player is usually pretty sharp

As long as you get to watch it it's all good though eh...!

I guess those are the 'as live' ones shown in the evening.

Having Sky is definitely a requirement this summer!

If you have an iPhone or an iPad you can download the skysports iPhone app. The cost is £4.99 per month through iTunes plus there is no contract so you can cancel it in July say when the summer tours are over. Just remember it's the iPhone app not the iPad app that you need as with the iPad app you only get sky sports news unless your a sky customer. Great value!
