Pity its 90% England...no Scotland! My quest to watch the Scotlands games in the six nations continues!

Fantastic!!!!! Am so looking forward to it - I have my welsh rugby shirt ready! Shame no Scotland games though - must continue to lobby the BBC - maybe next year....
Callum
Yeah maybe next year...struggling to find any bars around Philadelphia that will be showing it. Oh well! Might have to watch the England games and support the other side ha ha!

Are there any bars in Honolulu that show 6-nation games?

Just in case you didn't see, the update from BBC America, the Ireland Wales game on March 13th has been dumped in favour of the Scotland v. England Calcutta Cup match on the same day.
Steals a match from Wales, and hands another to England, but at least all the Home Nations are getting a showing.
Well done to all who complained!
Russell
DELIGHTED! Actually was over in Scotland and went to the France game but pretty pleased BBC has amended its schedule to show the Calcutta Cup match over here in the US!
Does anyone know why it's not possible for BBC America to show all the matches given they are at staggered times? Is it something to do with the license?
In Washington DC I go to Fado's so the one in Philly should have the games too!

What a b, BBC America has dropped the triple crown game Ireland v Wales in favor of a wooden spoon Scotland and a no hope England, I can't believe it, if England lost every game for the last 10 years they would still favor England, what a damn shame.
