England's Argetine Adventure

[I Ludicrous]

This does,nt seem to be televised.... have I missed something ?

 

[ratsapprentice]

The RFU's handing of the coverage on this tour has been a bit of a farce, really.
They still cannot say whether it will or it won't... which is ridiculous four days out from the first match.

Assuming it's going to be broadcast in Argentina, I would assume there will be a stream available online, whether officially sanctioned or not.

 

[diehardwithapanda]

Not really the RFU's fault. This happens when all teams go to Argentina. The Networks there try to get as much money as possible and end up asking for too much.

 

[ratsapprentice]

But it's four days out, and they haven't got enough of an idea to even say no.
Whoever is responsible, it's ridiculous.

Brian Moore has the answer.

Was about to post it, BBC2 apparently.
Thank **** for that, although this probably means the CONSUR match wont be shown.
Hopefully there'll be a live stream on t'internet somewhere.

Very pleasing that the Beeb are doing it too, it's retarded how little terrestrial coverage rugby gets...

Any South Americans know whether the consur match is being broadcast locally? I'd like to be able to find a stream somewhere...

Cheers! I'm hopeful I might be able to find it on youtube afterwards anyway!

Especially after this notification from the RFU:

We've tried hard to stream ENG vs Sudamerica XV on Sun ourselves but as the game is not televised over here it's not possible <s>#</s>nofeed <s>#</s>sorry

 

[brumtom]

Can anyone tell me if there is coverage for Consur XV, v, England ? Is there going to be an online stream ? Desperate to watch this.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Nope,
RFU have said they wanted to stream it but can't as it's not being broadcast on TV over there.

How hard is it to read what is a mere one post above???

Which is weird because it is actually being broadcast locally!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Is it not being broadcast on a delay or something?

Either way, nothing for us lot

 

[ratsapprentice]

Well, if it's being recorded by cameras at all (which it is, according to listings), they should be able to get get the feed...
Either they don't even know that it's being broadcast locally, or they are lying to make themselves look less incompetent to those that would suggest they are.

 

[j'nuh]

So basically, you'd have to do something of dubious legality to be able to watch the game live tomorrow?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Even then I'm not sure it'd be available.
How many people who recieve Uruguaian(?) sports channels will stream it?

 

[ratsapprentice]

It's entirely possible that it will be streamed by someone, it's being done by ESPN.

 

[Superalexmarket]

Only ESPN Argentina, no Uruguaian channels. On this site you can have very good information about the England's tour in Argentina. (In Spanish of course)http://espndeportes.espn.go.com/rugby/
