I have 4k riding on Ireland (rough bet now) since the start of this 6 nations and tonight its Wales / Ireland for not only the cup (Irl need a 13 spread and france cant romp an apporx 50 point lead over italy) but also for the triple crown, as you can see I have not given up hope..

But I just checked UBC and some idiot in scheduling has his head up his ass.. Both UK / Scot and France / Italy are on but it looks like the important match is delayed until tomorrow !!!!!! Delaying the cup match shows how they simply dont have a clue how or what to cover when it comes to Rugby on UBC..

I am guessing somewhere will have it on a better satelitte system.. Guesses include the 2 Black Sheep (he has AFL) and the Aussie bar above Soi Easy.. Anyone local and around spotted if they are showing it or can confirm anywhere that has this either live or at least tonight..

I am stunned they can be so stupid as to show matches for losing teams and not cover the final live !!!!!

BBC1 does not allow itself to be rebroadcast anywhere via satellite (something about licence payer money etc) odd thing was i could get BBC1 and 2 living in Holland via cable so go figure..

Anyway.. Now I am really confused.. UBC website and UBC magazine both show some footie starting at 9:55 / 10.. Then during half time they said that the IRL / Wales match will be on ?!?!?!

Now I dont know.. Me and some boys have been running round getting no answers this afternoon, aussie bar has a screwed up Astro smartcard... 2 black sheep was a negative.. One of my wlesh mates was just gonna chase down the sailor bar and check if they had it as they apparently show AFL...

16 - 6 to Wales now

Say goodbye to the 4k!

LivinLOS · #8 20-03-2005, 00:21

Said goodbye to 1k (4:1 odds at the start of the tournament)... Wales dereved it though.. Ireland didnt seem to get thier shit together during the first half at all and only hinted at any solid play for a few short periods in the second half. It was one of those nights when luck did not run thier way (that put in.. missed kicks when it would have really changed morale)..

Been a great 6 nations this year though Wales having found thier form and the Lions tour should be something to see..

Wales32 Ireland20 the best team won the Grand Slam.
Well done Wales. Ireland only played for the last 15 mins and made too many errors,gave away penalties and lacked anything creative.Wales on the other hand continued their running rugby,had a great defence and deserve the plaudits. I just hope England can give a good performance later this evening and show that they are on the road to rebuilding the side.

Allybabba22 · #10 20-03-2005, 00:26

Yes Congradulations to Wales, They have been the best team and deserved it.

driv · #11 20-03-2005, 00:43

Yes it just showed how much they rely on all there top players like D'arcy and horgan, Who can run with the ball, Where as other teams can afford to lose a few big name players and still do the buisness, Shame really.....

what about super12 comp can you see it in LOS?

LivinLOS · #21 22-03-2005, 10:51

26th 27th and 28th there is super 12 coverage on UBC.. Not been great coverage so far and super 12's is new to me so I am not as well versed in team histories or backgrounds but a nice high standard of play..

Here's a little bit of history most of the New Zealand teams are made up from provincial sides that already existed in our own NPC competition.
