Welshman 2805

Does anyone know what satelite channels in Saudi will be showing the Rugby World Cup games, also is there anywhere that will be showing them in Riyadh, I am moving out on the 11th September and its going to take me a while to get everything set up.

If their advertising is to be believed, all RWC matches will be live on OSN. If not, there will be riots, as many people have subscribed for that reason alone.

According to the schedules, they're showing them on the HD channel for those of us lucky enough to subscribe to them. Watched my first match on HD when England played Ireland last week and the picture quality was exceptional (as you would expect).

"Exceptional"??

Unlike Ireland's back play then................

They were obviously missing BOD, although England played much better than they did in the second Wales game too. The Tindall/Tuilagi partnership finally seemed to work at Centre which is good.

No one should miss BOD.

He needs to retire.

time to dig out my pink polo shirt, turn up the collar and be loud and obnoxious for the next month or so then ?

Charlie Sharples should be there instead of Shontayne Hapless......... and Tindall is like the pet labrador next door - he looks mean, but is actually quite cute and lovable, and really isn't going to frighten anyone now.

Tindall impressed me in the last game, which means a great deal....Normally I'd rather see him polishing turds than on the field.

Not sure anyone really knows why Johnson is sticking with Hape, I'll hap-e-ley (see what I've done there?) eat my words if he plays well in the World Cup, but if he continues in his recent form both him and Johnson are in for a lot of stick.
