Rugby World Cup 2007 [in general]
 

Hi everyone

Can someone tell me how to watch the RWC in Switzerland ? I have tried to Email them directly but without getting any response. I am also willing to buy / pay to have this possibility. I assume that there will be no or only a couple of matches aired in Switzerland. I cant speak French so it will have to be in English.

Would be great if someone can point me in the right direction.

Thank you in advance

France 2/3 will show it all. Italian channels will likely show it all.

The picture will be the same no matter what the language is ;)

Re: Rugby World Cup 2007
 

The only Italian channel that shows rugby is the terrestrial (free) La 7. During the 6N they show all matches live and, this year, they even put up maxi-screens in the Piazza del Populo in Rome and Piazza del Duomo in Milan so that those without tickets (and there were thousands of those) could watch.

I don't yet know what their WC output will be, but at the last WC they showed all Italian matches, a couple of quarters, a semi and the Final live. Mind you, they were taking a massive punt, but their viewing figures were massive so they decided to go ahead with full coverage of the 6N.

Commentary will only be in Italian, so if you elect to go this route, turn down the TV volume and try to pick up a suitable radio channel.

Six glorious weeks of rugby. Bring it on.

The logistics of an Englishforum sweepstake are a bit beyond me, but if anyone can figure out how to do it, count me in.

Hey ya,

Just wondering if there are any bars in Zurich that maybe screening the games? Hopefully some of the New Zealand games....there is one tomorrow at 13.45. Yea, I could watch them on my latop...but seriously it is not the same.

Does anyone think that The Lion Bar will play the Rugby on Saturday? I had a look at their web site and they have not updated their TV Screening Programme.

Yeh, he also had a swipe at London getting the Olympics.

I watched it on ITV1, thankfully, as hearing the French commentators calling their national team is unbearable.:)

Re: Rugby World Cup 2007 [in general]
 

I did too, but Johnson & Greenwood in the pre-match were woeful. The amount of Frog bashing was embarassing & tended towards sour grapes.

Can only be grateful for small mercies, Brian Moore doesn't commentate for ITV .... now that would have got me in to FR2 ... ;)

They've got 6 weeks to 'fine-tune':msnnerd:

Well, france got a humping and it looks awfully like NZ are racking up a cricket score against Italy. Anyone else watching?

Re: Rugby World Cup
 

No watching the Cricket, all going well so far, then the footy and Rugby

Re: Rugby World Cup
 

All Blacks is becoming a little monotonous (for us non-Kiwis) off to the park for a kickaround ....

Re: Rugby World Cup
 

Italy just scored a try!

Shame the cricket's on Sky...

Re: Rugby World Cup
