Believe wasps ladies are being streamed live on you tube this Saturday ko 2:00 v harlequins, so if Quins men game not up to much,might want to take a look at first half at least before switching to our game.

Only other thing to note is the Ospreys game available on S4C Saturday teatime.

Oh and if anyone lives in N Ireland , I think ulsters game is available tonight on sky 106.

Noticed that no listings for sky . See that deals for super rugby have been held up, including no matches being shown today and presumably this weekend of Australian matches in pubs and clubs in Oz itself.

Any Sky viewers know anything more?

There is no contract. Probably part of Sky removing its UK operation away from a minority sport (their words). Still got some internationals I believe.

However, no contract for French, US or Japanese leagues either.
Let me tell you something cucumber

The Top14 has been off air since 2019 as Canal Plus brought the international distribution rights expecting a massive pay day from Sky, who in many cases had less than 10k watching their Top14 coverage. I understand other broadcasters have attempted to purchase the rights, not just for the UK but Canal Plus have decided to hold out for a big money offer which won't materialise. The current deal expires at the end of the 2022/23 season so I can't see any change in this until after the next RWC.

Major League Rugby (USA) is streamed on the Major League Rugby Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/usmlr). Camera work can be shoddy at times, but the Rugby is pretty entertaining and there are a lot of close matches.

I thought Rugby Pass had the Japanese League. It's never been widely available in the UK.
