2018 November Internationals
-
@mikethesnow Looking at the schedule, all England games clash with either Wales, Scotland or Ireland tests, but the latter three manage to avoid clashes with each other in most weekends (not all).

With 6 games going on all weekends but one it's hard not to have clashes.

Italy vs Georgia will be an intriguing fixture

Anyone know if any of the AB games are on Foxtel in Aus? Normally we get them all except the England game.

Comes standard with your foxtel package now. Does with mine anyway.
Last time we played England I paid $19 a month for 2 months. (Although my 2nd payment didn't go through so technically I owe them $19 ...)

I gave Foxtel up after more than a decade. Simply couldn't see the value even as they tried to give it away to keep me as a customer.

You'd think he'd get a nomination for PotY as well.
