Question Who's watching Wales v Ireland this Saturday in Sydney

Is there anyone in the Sydney area, with Foxtel who is going to be watching the Wales v Ireland game this weekend, who has room for an extra Welsh fan ?

At the moment it's looking like I may be watching it over the BBC website, which is far from ideal, but better than a kick in them. I will provide beer for the host

How are you watching it over the BBC? Have you got a Uk proxy? ( we, as in overseas, can only get live audio and not live video for these 6 nations. Live Video is for UK users only - they won't allow overseas to hook up to the live visual matches - "selling rights" I suppose with foxtel).
We can only get live audio from overseas addresses, and not video. I've had to listen to the audio on the BBC( five live etc) for all the matches on the night.

If you are watching if you are using a Uk proxy and you know the ones you have work, can you please be so kind and send me the numbers.
I have got one for this weekend ( actually a couple - but the other few don't seem to work around the net) , but I do not know if it will work with the beeb until they show the games on sat, so I'm going in prepared

My local pubs( don't know about in the city though) do not stay open late enough for the full game.

It's a nightmare finding somewhere to watch it isn't it, especially so late. We are off to a mates house to watch it on Foxtel. There'll be a party made up of Carmarthen, Llanelli & Cardiff fans, and one little Irish man - oh bless him.
Oggy oggy oggy ............. and plenty of this

Yes, we need to find a pub that stays open after 2 am ( the match starts at 1.30 am) - almost impossible around our area, unless there are any in the city. But to be honest I don't fancy the city much and driving back in the early morning. And can't have a beer watching the game etc - because of driving.

I think I'll try and get one of my mates who has got foxtel to let us in - nag nag nag - The one who has foxtel is Australian and doesn't watch the 6 N's, and is always in bed early. He just normally tapes it for us. I hate imposing on people.

I'm investigating UK proxies at the moment , I found a few yesterday - but gawd knows if they will work with fooling the Beeb - I should have done this earlier in the games to see if they work with getting the video hook up

P.s if the Irish win - punch your little Irish man lol ( only joking)

And thank's again Madsad for your offer

Ooh 1.30am - and there was me thinking how am I going to stay awake for 11.30pm here in WA. I really don't think I'd see it if I was in Qld - which we will be for next years 6 nations! Let us know about the internet links. Luckily our little Irish man knows what's good for him, and is aware it'll be 4 to 1!

QLD is ten hours in front of the Uk. It starts at 3.30pm Uk time - 1.30 am our time here. last Sunday's was a B8gger - I was falling asleep at my desk the next day, but had to "listen to it" . Most of the Welsh ones have been on saturday though - so no problems.

What makes me laugh is that he gets the shits if anyone ever posts in a RL thread saying what a crap game it is, and yet he makes a point of posting in any AFL/Union threads doing exactly the same thing!!

so far as Sydney goes (and in fact just the East). Coogee Bay Sports bar open til around 4:30. Has numerous screens and will show the game.

Royal at Randwick, but it'll be quieter I suspect.

Souths Juniors on Anzac Pde

Easts Leagues Bondi J.

In town - Casino sports bar at Star City.
