Get Foxtel Dale, buy yourself a massive couch and escape from the 'free to air'. programming frauds that infect the southern states. There's so much rugby on a weekend on foxy that on a good weekend you can literally avoid talking to your wife for 48 hours.

I also agree. I don't understand either why ch7 used to show the matches live and yet for the last couple of years any non east coast state gets shafted with the coverage. It's almost like they only showed it live to get support for the lead up to the World Cup and hasnt cared since.

We rang up a few times asking why they're not showing it live and were given some non logical spiel about how ch9 had some ratings wonder on and preferred to show repeats of the vicar of dibley (ok probbaly not repeated on ch7 but ABC already showed it years ago) and then repeats of 2 movies which sometimes have been shown about 5 times before.

They have the rights, show it!!!!! If it's ratings they care about, i dont see how repeats of movies on a saturday night can rate any better.....Or at least show it on 7HD.

Anyway, these days I'm slightly over it as I just watch it on the internet. Yes, thats right 7 if youre reading, many people are doing this. You are losing the audience to foxtel and the internet. Hopefully your telecast sponsors realise this too and pull funding, you dont deserve it. Your useless shoving in of ads at critical moments, your annoying commentry, in fact the whole coverage is avoided and it makes all a happier viewing experience.

I'm with you brother. At least it was midnight telecast in Perth this week. Baa Baas match was 1am and started 35min late @1:35!

How many other rugby fans out there are sick of the B grade telecast times that Channel 7 give to the Wallabies in the southern states. Surely with this supposed free to air (channel 7) has 5 extra channels and one HD channel they could televise the games live into the southern states instead of replying the games after midnght
