To the best of my knowledge there is no TV3 signal in Northern Ireland unless you are living close to the border and get a leaked signal.
Will the BBC be covering all Irelands matches or just those covering the Home Nations or are the Nortnern Province being forgotten once again ?
To my knowledge the BBC have retained the rights to the 6 Nations and cover all games

Am I dreaming or do they not share coverage with ITV & ITV have the Ireland games?

If I were an Ireland supporter I'd be fecking raging. :lol: :lol: :lol:
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

So there is access and it is really a question of choice. No issue therefore.
Well we could all just subscribe to sky sports too. That would be the cheaper option for many. (Or go to the pub ...)

Can we go to the pub & not watch the Paddybastards? :D

The Jap try to get the draw was an outrageous decision.

A forward at the breakdown on the French line picked the ball up behind him and dove over. The French looked at the prat reffing the game and he shrugged his shoulders, didn't check with TMO.

Game played in Racing's new indoor stadium, horrible looking place if functional.

So like Argentina's last try, except it counted for something.

That's a PRL tactic and the ref was a PRL ref

No. There are no winners here. TV3 is a pile of sh1te.

Sure you can always fly to the UK and watch it in the pub. It's just a matter of choice.

I could indeed. I could even get the train or bus to the UK. It is good to have so many options.

You're welcome at mine. You can park the caravan outside the house and use the WiFi.
I have my own tv channel, what have you got?

He's welcome at mine too, but I'll probably watch them on TV3 anyway, just to be awkward.

One thing I am looking forward to is seeing if TV3 repeat their mistake of taking a commercial break just as the game is about to kick-off. I'd be OK with them going for a break during the anthems or the old meeting the President ballix as long as they are back in time for kick-off.

Must be a seriously long slash to miss the amfums.
