Will any of the Summer Tours be televised...

With a bunch of international mammy's boys kicking a round ball around this summer, what's the chances of any of the rugby tours being televised, whether free to air or Sky/BT....

Anyone know..

They'll be on Sky like normal I'd have thought. sky doesn't cover the football World Cup does it? Usually it's on BBC and ITV.

Well thought Hammer... I didn't think about that.
 
Anyway, just checked Sky listing on the Web, and spotted this...

So hopefully that covers most of the tours and ensures we don't have to watch the mammy's boys kicking a ball and then screaming when their hair is out of place...
 
Hopefully, they'll show Wales provincial game against Eastern Kings on Tue 10th, but not listed as yet... there are a lot of IRB Junior games listed as well... 

There's going to be some very messy days in the pub with that schedule.

A few years ago I went to the Great Welsh beerfest in Cardiff with Penfro on the Friday. Saturday saw us in The Crockerton for Aus v Wales with other 606ers (Cari, prop_lyd & luckless), before getting the train back to London.

I then watched the SA v England test at my mate's pub in Marylebone.

A damn fine weekend!

You will not see the All Blacks play at home in daylight hours because of the live television feeds to Europe. the one exception was during the World Cup the ABs played Canada at 3o'clock in the afternoon back in the World cup 2011.

There may not ne a lot of good things to come out of our SA tour but least the kick offs are at decent times just need to find a rugby friendly pub thats not showing all the poof ball

But 7:30pm kick off is 7:30am in the UK isn't it? Has the sun not risen by then in the UK?
