Couldn't find anything about this being broadcast on Sky. What's the deal?
-
Anyone notice a Brussow/Pocock type ballhawk in any of the NZ sides?
I'd put my dollars on the side with the best fetcher winning the whole thing.

Matt Matich has been called into Blues 10s squad as injury cover, although not sure who for.

Sky has a pop-up channel for the event.
More info:
LIVE on Sport Pop-Up 57 from 2.30pm this SaturdayGreat. So that means my fanpass won't get it. There is bugger all other sport on at the moment so there's no need for this bollocks.
F%$^%ing Sky.

SS1 doesn't have any live sport on this afternoon so I'm not sure of the rationale - we obviously don't pay extra for a pop-up channel. Note that live softball is also on a pop-up channel today.
I get the impression that Sky treats FanPass customers as an afterthought and deliberately do this to try and get us to buy the full package.
At $56 a month it isn't exactly cheap - though admittedly it does give real flexibility to turn it on and off whenever one likes. I am pissed because I let it roll over for another month the other day purely so I could watch the 10's. Otherwise I would have waited until the first ODI of the Proteas tour to turn it back on and saved about 2 weeks of use.
