Is the Grand Slam free-to-air?

[Scarfman]

Can't find any details. True / false?

 

[cheezel]

The Pom game is on OneHD (I think normal ten as well, can't be sure as I can't see it). I can't see any further than that weekend. It doesn't look like they are playing the midweek games.

 

[RugbyReg]

hmmm, ok, panicing slightly. I saw the Bledisloe this weekend is on 7, but hadn't considered the actual GS games.

 

[Spook]

So no TV Coverage for midweeks? :'(

 

[mark_s]

All the GS tests are all on free to air with replays at prime time on One HD, check out:

there's a lot of "TBC's" under Brisbane there, but I assume that is to work out whether than can bother showing it live, or just at 1am natioally.

I'm loving the one hd replays on sunday night, that's a great way to cap off the weekend sit down & have a quiet beer on me own & wind down for the night.

 

[Scarfman]

Thanks Mark

They're still trying to figure out the lack of daylight savings, and whether that means they go into yesterday or tomorrow

Ahem.

EOYT tour. It's only a Grand Slam once you've done it, otherwise we'd play the GS 6N every February/March.

Also, no France and Italy, no GS.

Thanks.

Backs. If it doesn't involve male grooming products, you might as well not bother... :

Italy and France play six games in Australia and New Zealand. Yep, I'd call that a tour.

The only reason - the only reason - you haven't just gone on The List is you can get me access to cut-price D'Arenberg. Note, mark and inwardly digest...

 

[RugbyReg]

My program has the test on live on Ch 10 (normal).

One has a good lead up thought, with a "Classic Wallaby" match at 9, then (I think at 10) a replay of last year's game v the Poms

 

[Scarfman]

Didn't I just watch the Tokyo Bled on 7?

Odd.

 

[RugbyReg]

7 has the SANZAR rights.
10 the Spring tour rights.

 

[Biffo]

Ahem. EOYT tour. It's only a Grand Slam once you've done it.

So, we can't win half a quarter or a half or three quarters of a grand slam?

We can't even fail to win a grand slam?

:lmao:

 

[RugbyReg]

Three-quarters of a grand slam would be like claiming a "partial clean sweep" or "going mostly undefeated" — it's a contradiction in terms.

winning a World Cup not playing New Zealand or Australia or France?

 

[Biffo]

nice bait, wrong fish
