6 nations on the web
 

As I am fully expecting Irl to win the 6 nations this year I believe it is of great importance I watch all games. There is a Fados down the road from us but I dont really want to stump up $20 for every game (for the initial games anyway), so i was wondering if anybody uses the internet to watch games. If so, can you recommend a link and cost per game ?. Also, assuming you have cable, is the quality pretty good ?

Thanks

I've always wondered how the **** that charge on the door for ppv games works - bloody joke.
Anytime I've watched ppv footie I've turned up at the boozer extremely early and they let me in for free.
Is it the setanta folks themselves on the door who collect the cash.

Unfortunately though Ireland will not win unless o'sullivan has a nasty accident and has to retire. :(

www.pplive.com is a streaming thingy, mostly footie, but might have rugger on, don't know...and if not, could probably find a torrent of the games quickly after there aired...

I've used pplive a bit for footie.
Its not bad is you watch it in small screen but the commentary is usually in chinesse and there's a good 5-6 minutes of buffering so if you're listening to a radio or watching text updates you know that a goal is about to happen.
Would be amazed if they carried the rugby as most of the channels they broadcast seem to be in the far east.

They're not going to carry any Blitish Rions games then?:rolleyes:

I don't know, rugby seems to be getting pretty popular out there these days, so they might have it on somewhere, but time difference would be another pain in the arse...

I remember last year watching the Scotland v Italy game on the web. It was basically an Italian TV Channel streaming the BBC TV coverage with an Italian commentary. I'll dig around to see if I can find the link and post it.

Don't make me tell everyone our dark secret. ;)
