The part im confused about ,

Do they have the right to show it and they are electing not to ?

Or they cant show it because they are not allowed ?

Here is their email address anyway , maybe if they get enough emails they might show it ,

Next year I'm going to do a NH bingo game with a prize of a couple Denis Lalane books for the first one to get
a haka troll
mention of BOD nearly dying
A manatee thrashwank about the refs favouring the abs
Three mentions of the aura
An accusation of arrogance
Two mentions of poaching
A mention of "south seas islanders" the only time I ever see this term is when a nh writer/troll is making a cock of himself.
A diatribe about a transgression from the abs that went unpunished
A fuckwitted tweet from Brian Moore.

There's a couple more spaces to fill if anyone has any ideas?

Ireland playing with a lot of passion and heart ?
Mentioning the glorious victory Munster had in 78 ?
Stephen Jones being the kind of fuckwit Moore could only dream about ? I'm picking the Walrus will sink his tusks in on their behalf and using skilful journalistic wit turn everything back to the Poms and their magnificent massive forwards and orgasmic ten man gameplan that these All Blacks and their ridiculous basketball rugby ( I think the Walrus can single handedly lay claim to that term, when he's lying on his death bed bitterly whinging about all the tries scored in the modern game he can turn to the gibbering coot next to him and say he came up with that ) couldn't hope to emulate and how these victories don't mean a thing and they're lucky Eddie Jones and his men don't have a chance to crush them until 2018.

Oh, and him specifically mentioning Island Bay as the latest All Black poaching ground cos they got the Saveas from there.

Ireland u20's victory
Ireland Woman's victory

booboo

I assume the Bein TV guide is Sydney time (not Qld ... ) so 9am NZ kick off (according to AllBlacks.com) = 7am Seednee.

It appears we have:
Napoli v Lazio in Serie A
Las Palmas v Eibar in La Liga
Flamengo v Botafogo in Brasileirao

I understand their primary audience is likely to be catered for in the above but am not sure either of the 2nd or 3rd games would be expected to rate highly.

The above three games are followed by half hour magazine programs:
Bundesliga Special - The Best of October
La Liga World
Footbrazil

Then more Bundesliga: Bayern v Hoffenhein
EFl (not EPL): Burton v Barnsley
and more Brazil - Sao Paolo v Corinthans

It's definitely a soccer channel - fair enough - but it would be good if they could make it available somewhere/somehow.

Where's that email address??

Bein support responded within 20 minutes, which is pretty good, unfortunately not with good news

*Thanks for your email.

Unfortunately, we can't confirm the rights for the All Blacks Northern Tour for November.

I'll advise you to contact Foxtel directly for more information about these games.

For more scheduling information, please visit our TV Guide.

Hope this helps.

Kind Regards,

Charlie*

Thanks dK - found it on their website. Sent very polite email.

At least they have an email.

I think you've got to tweet or facebook Foxtel ...

But hey - worth a crack

Impossible booboo

All the coaches and pundits whinging and shrieking has produced a ratings explosion so surely there's money to be made in televising rugby.

We've been assured the incessant bleating this year is all about ratings yet there's still no coverage. What gives?

Kruse

Is there even any coverage of it in the UK?

booboo

OK have politely tweeted @Foxtel and @Foxtel_Help. I feel so millennial ... I even used a hashtag (#NZLvIRE).

I have now made the grand total of 6 tweets ... apparently ...

three of which were trying to find out if Fox had footy games, which were ignored by Foxtel, or got Fox Sports muddled with Foxtel ...
three were around the CWC final
(- and err one which doesn't show publicising Mokey's book which I deleted because I got weirdos making inappropriate suggestions as a result ... )

@Kruse Chicago game is on BT Sport 2 1945 in UK.

Kruse

@scribe Awesome - thanks for that. Now to find a pub which will actually show it instead of replays of some 3rd division soccer.

@pakman said in Ireland v NZ - Chicago Showdown:

Anyone know which hotel ABs are staying in?

99% sure they stayed at the Hyatt Regency in 2014. Was in Chicago for the game in 2014 and saw Richie in close proximity. Lobby full of rugby heads.

Good chance they stay there again I would think.

@scribe Awesome. That means I can utilise my high-speed internet to take advantage of the reliable HD stream someone will provide...

SynicBast

The more I read the Irish press, the more I hope tyhe ABs fucking sjellack them good and proper just to shut up the4 fucking know it all paddies. I've never been so glad that I made the right decision to echange my Irish Passport and citizenship for French citizenship when the opportunity arose.

Fuck it. All the other rugby has been on Skysport so that's the one I subscribe to. BT sport is endless Wendyball.

@Crucial Looks like we'll end up at the pub with @Kruse

Yeah, its fucking ridiculous, used to be Sky covered everything, now to give the consumer more choice fricking BT has a stack of random stuff, they have the Aussie v SA cricket series too. Its one of the best example of how legislation designed to help consumers has fucked them very hard indeed due to retards drafting it. Can you get one service for just soccer? Nope? Rugby? Nope. Cricket? Nope!

Feeling a bit unloved there?
It certainly sounds like you made the right decision....

It's more of the continuing attempts by BT sports to disrupt Sky coverage and dominance in the rugby market. They outbid them for the Aviva Premiership. They split the European Cup coverage which is a real pain in the ass trying to watch it at weekends. EirSport in Ireland bought Setanta (an Irish company) and then bid successfully for the RWC 2019, and the Six Nations. So now coverage is all over the place on different channels.

I've found a pub that says it will show it apparently because there's no bloody soccer on at 8pm on a Saturday worth showing.

Bones

@Crucial On second thoughts, I'm wondering where @Kruse is from. As you and I are both from or recently lived in Welly, it could be Hansen at it again.
