Thanks guys, be interesting to see how many posts we get leading up to this match.

And thanks for sending the emails, it may work, but even if it doesn't, it will show fox sports there is an audience out there who wants to see these type of matches.

Thanks pom, ea, nook, JasonE, Wheelsy, stitch6004, Bomber and Dakink, sorry if I missed anyone.

This thread shows there are people interested in IRL, we've had NZers, Aussies, poms, French and others, yes I chased and hyped it up a bit to get people to post, all that says to me is, we have a game under rated and under promoted.

I think we all should bump this every day, lets get this thread over 200 posts before the game gets underway.

It seems the only way to get through to these TV networks.

Thanks to all who posted, and to the others who have looked but not posted, pull your finger out, it's 3 letters, and if we get enough posts, we might just change things and get to see this game on TV.


Let them know by posting, I'll send this thread to foxsports to let them know there are people interested in IRL.

Both UK Sky Sports and France's Sports + will be broadcasting this match live. Why not Australia and New Zealand (5 am Saturday Sydney time)?

New Zealand Sky are usually pretty good with taking Super League coverange live, Wouldn't be surprised if they keep their slot for this game...?

Definitely a big YES from me.

If it were televised I'd like to watch watch it.

We pay through the nose to get our League on Fox 3 just so they can cover their own asses in paying for the AFL rights, despite the fact the RL rates the pants of any other sport. The least they could do is show us live internationals and Super LEague.

They don't care about anything but money, you'd think they would make more money showing these games, but they must know more than us.

Especially given the way that League Rates.

Really annoys me that we dont get much SL - no shows and hardly any games - yet I would bet my left nut that it would rate higher than union on PAy.

I'd much rather watch this match than domestic RU from NZ or Sth Africa. Fox need to start giving subscribers what they want. MORE RL PLEASE !

They treat us like garbage, we know these tests take place but they never show them, they say no one cares, I say, BS, you never showed them in the first place to see if anyone was interested, let the Fox viewers make that decision. :x

Even if they tapped the match and put it on a Saturday instead of the Friday night repeats before Super Saturday started, I'm sure thousands would have a look.

Come on Fox, give us International RL.

Should I send this thread to Fox sports feedback to show them there is an audience out there?
