I have seen a few of the games in the Super 14 series currently being played, and recently upgraded my Sky subscription to include the sports package specifically to watch the games live, but the useless *****'s only seem to be showing the odd game, and going through the TV guide shows that of this weekends games, only 1 is being shown, and the Sharks game (which I REALLY wnated to see) isnt on at all!!

I dont suppose this series is shown on any of the Sky channels? I have Setanta as well, but nothing showing up on there either, cant believe a major tournament is getting so little coverage when you see what other rubbish is often on these sports channels.

Only on sky i think, but they do have the super 14 show which shows the highlights off all super 14 games
You can see whats on when on this link - i think sky offer a good selection of super 14 games

They usually have 2-3 games over a weekend on. Last weekend I think they had 3 games on back to back Sat morning.

The 14 is ok, but it isnt real rugby, its just a slower version of League...shock, horror the Aussie were behind the ELVs.

Thank God that lot is going next year, the 14 quality has been bargain basement this season.

I'm not sure thats fair. Its the breeding ground for players who go on to play for the three most successful rugby nations on earth. Only Eng have ever really been able to top the lot.
