Hi,

Does anyone know if Foxtel / ESPN will be showing the 6 Nations matches
live? or where I can find the Foxsports TV schedule for February. These used
to be shown on C7 through Optus but has obviously stopped since its exit
from the market place!

I think it will be off to the pub to watch it on Star Sports!

Cheers,

Tommy

Unless Foxsports is different in Oz, they have not bid for the rights to
6N broadcasts for a couple of years, so you won't see them unless it is
on another network.

It's S12 re-runs for you, Im afraid.

Foxtel did not show Six Nations last year. I see no reason why they
should this year. If you can find a hotel that shows Star TV out of
Singapore or Hong Kong, you're in with a shot.

I think Seven still owns the rights and hasn't done anything about
excercising them properly. It really should be able to get ESPN interested.
It'd work on Main Event, but that's too controlled by Foxtel to deal with
Seven probably.
