2023 July and Pre-World Cup Internationals (excluding TRC)

[Stargazer]

@Duluth TV1's tv guide says it's live coverage of the game, so they have their k/o time wrong (and so has World Rugby's website). The k/o time is 3.00pm local time, so 2.00pm NZ time.

3-week suspension for Michael Leitch, which will be reduced to 2 weeks after completing the World Rugby Coaching Intervention Programme.

Independent disciplinary update: Michael Leitch (Japan) | World Rugby

Japan number eight Michael Leitch has been suspended for three matches, having received a red card in Japan’s international test match against Samoa on 22 July.

For who is losing track of which international games they can watch LIVE this weekend (5-6 August) in-between the NPC and FPC matches:

2.00pm: Samoa v Tonga - TV1

2.35pm: ABs v Aussies - Sky Sport 1

10:15pm: Japan v Fiji - Sky Sport 3

2.15am: Scotland v France - Sky Sport 1

4.30am: Wales v England - Sky Sport 1

7.00am: Ireland v Italy - Sky Sport 1

10:10am: Argentina v South Africa - not scheduled, but I assume it's on Sky Sport 1

I expect plenty of replays to be available, but possibly not of all of them.
The Samo v Tonga game will be available via TVNZ on demand.

Three games aren't televised in NZ: the two games played in Montevideo (Uruguay v Namibia and Chile v Argentina XV) and Romania v USA.

Apologies, put on the wrong foot by World Rugby's website again.
This is correct:

7:10am: Argentina v South Africa - Sky Sport 2

Back up home again for an as yet undetermined length of time so without a Sky connection at the moment so wondering if anyone has got a link to any live stream that might be showing this game tomorrow please? Quite a few changes in the home side but that's not too unexpected given the horrendous amount of travel they have had over the last five weeks.

[Stargazer]

@Higgins If you have a Sky connection somewhere else, you can watch via Sky go on a computer/mobile device.

Or use someone else's if they're willing to give you the email address and password they use for their Sky account.

In any other case, check the World Rugby website, or you'll need an illegal stream. I've sent you a message via chat.

For the Argies? ... maybe England

Either way they get to put out a story and perhaps sell a few shirts.

I'm sure teams themselves mostly aren't interested and would prefer to play with their usual kit.
