Sorry don't know for a fact, but very doubtful I'd say. It's a pretty marginal sport over there (I didn't see any rugby union coverage at all when I was over there let alone our Heineken Cup). Thank God for the internet!!

Your best bet will be to ask at a uk/Irish pub. They generally manage to acquire coverage of most UK sports channels.

Rugby Pass is the only place for live Heineken cup this season in Australia, same for Challenge Cup.
Fox sports still showing live Gallagher Premiership (3 live games last night - Saturday. Worcester v Exeter on tonight). Every game will get at least extended highlights during the week.

Fox's World Cup coverage was first-rate, every game Live.

Usually, several Mitre 10 Cup games shown live each weekend (NZ Club Competition), but that finished this weekend.

Not bad for a marginal sport. Granted hardly any shown on free to air channels.

beIN has shown the two European cups in the past but didn't last season and I can find nothing to suggest that they have either this season. I personally have never tried Rugby Pass (I am also in WA) but it is listed as the official broadcaster for Heineken and Challenge Cup in Australia.

Whereabouts in WA are you?

Hmmm, have to check it out. Still no reply from rugbypass regarding their coverage in WA.

I know when I enquired with KAYO regarding the premiership it was a firm not in WA.



I'm in Donnybrook in southwest. Where are you poynton?

If WA is in Australia then then what they can broadcast in Australia should be listed here.

Hi Frank,

Our subscription offer in Australia includes every game from the Heineken Cup, Pro14, and the Challenge Cup from the knockout stages onward.

New apps for iOS and Android both support Chromecast.

Regards,

Good point IrishShark. Having re-read it myself, I agree.
A little over a week and I'll know for certain ;)
