I am all for changing. But the idea of watching grown men in vests rolling around with eachother is a bit to much of a change. Now Rugby and Football are real games.

As far as I know SBS is covering Euro 2004. They also cover one premiership game live each weekend and give highlights of others every Sunday.

You will get plenty of UK football on satellite or cable TV.
Someone once said 5 games a week.

I turned on the TV once in a motel in Cairns and found Derby county playing on the telly:scared:

A shock for a Forest supporter I can tell you

Love Aussie Rules. Been watching it on Sky for a while. I even understand some of it now!
I like the 'no sending off' rule. Makes for some interesting confrontations ...... :scared:

You can get an idea of the games SBS cover by looking at their site here

you get more premiership on foxtel than sbs - 2 live games sat night and 2 live games sun night

takes an effort to watch tho when the time difference is 11h...not so bad when it's 9h!!

sbs also broadcast live CL games in the early hours (later repeated), and a 6 hour soccer magazine show on a Sunday (Euro leagues and Saturday's live EPL game repeated)

the live games on foxtel are repeated throughout the week

both have an EPL review show too (like MOTD)

EPL coverage in Oz is better than UK in that you don't have to fork out for pay-per-view (if you subscribe to foxtel that is)

But isn't rugby just grown men in shirts and no ears rolling around with eachother?
