    six nations on tv

    So, it's not on any channel anywhere on TV in Australia?
    I can't believe it

    Given there must be more that 1,000,000 poms in Australia you'd think they might be able to get some viewing figures!!!!!

    We are "lucky" to get our own rugby on TV p-diddy, what hope have we of getting NH as well!?!?
    When I win lotto I reckon I'll start Rugby TV for sure!
    Fox are currently having replays of two Heineken Euro Cup matches per week on Thursdays from 1pm and Saturdays from sparrows if you have access to that or can organise Thursday long lunches at the local
    They may play the Six Nations matches on delay but no news as yet.

    Actually very impressed with the attitude of a forty something immigrant I met the other day.
    I suggested that "his team" (ie the English rugby team) had a good win over the Wallabies.
    His very suprising and refreshing reply was, "they aren't my team"!
    When asked why, he said he had decided to move to Australia to live and therefore that was the country he supported.
    He had been in Australia for six months.
    True story, food for thought for some?

    Not suggesting that people should by the way, just that they could!

    Haven't come across any English guys saying that but I have met a lot of South Africans saying the same thing, which surprises me. As for me, it's just too deep seated but hopefully my baby son will grow up to play for the Wallabies....can but dream.

    Maybe the pom you met is one of the few that has figured out what the rest of the world knows.
