Although the Soccer World Cup is the main focus at the moment, there are aso a few 'Antipodean' rugby tours going on as well.
England are in Australia, Ireland are in New Zealand, Scotland in South Africa and Wales are playing in Argentina. All team will meet this weekend and we can get live coverage of two of them.
This Weekend's Games (all times Bahamian - US Eastern):
| 10/06 | (Sat. 3am) | New Zealand v Ireland | Waikato Stadium |
10/06 | (Sat. 9am) | South Africa v Scotland | Durban |
11/06 | (Sun. 6am) | Australia v England | Telstra Stadium |
11/06 | (Sun. 1pm) | Argentina v Wales | Buenos Aires |
Since we pushed for it, earlier this year, many of you can now get Setanta Sport at home, but for those of you who can't, we can get two of them at the Clubhouse, live:
New Zealand vs. Ireland: Saturday morning, 3am. This (just about) is a 'stay-up-for' match.
We can get it in the club, so if you want to watch it, make sure you're at the club before we close (around midnight) - if nobody shows, I'll go home and watch it from the comfort of my bed.
Australia vs. England: Sunday morning, 6am. This is a 'get-up-for' match - the pre-show starts at 5.30am.
If you want to watch this game, let me know by e-mail and, if there's enough interest (5 or more people) I'll open up for it.
We've got a new 12 ft TV screen and surround sound, which is excellent, so its a good place to watch the rugby, but its still not as good as staying in bed, so let me know if you want to go to the club.
Note: If you say you're coming and I get down there to open up for nobody, I'll cut your balls off.
