Tough way to start, but at least they'll be without their starts.

The draw is much kinder to the SA teams.

Looks like the URC is now without a broadcaster in the UK, which is a shame because being able to watch every game was a strong point for the league.

I wonder if they will launch URC TV in the UK as a replacement since I'm guessing most folk watching rugby on Viaplay had probably subscribed specifically for that anyway.

Not great for the league. I wonder if Sky Sports would pick them up on the cheap? They have enough channels and not enough quality programming (now that they are sharing PL games).

Yip happy to move from Viaplay if I knew how. I still have it down as Premier Sports on my Excel financial tracker. No idea how to cancel it as none of my profiles and passwords seem to work. It just plays on my Sky Box.
If the rugby is gone, better try to remove it again.

Yeah, bit of a bugger. Hope URC.tv just expands into the UK. Can't rely on a broadcaster.

No chance Sky takes it. They're not really interested in rugby. As for TNT, who knows - it'd make them the rugby channel really, with Premiership and URC. Did viaplay not also have Top14 rights in the UK?

They are being quite cunty about this. They won't show me a "cancel subscription" button until after I've paid my final 12th month instalment. I'm not trying to get out of the contract, just make sure it doesn't roll over. The cunts.

Well after my hissy fit it looks like ViaPlay are still showing the URC this year and keeping the monthly payment at £9.99. Well done them.

Not sure if this is old news.

The money owing to Flyt and the ownership of the stadium is with the amateur arm and should be resolved when the sale of the stadium goes through.

Kade going on loan to the Lions. WP have so many 10/12/15s waiting down the line.

:thumbup: CJ is from Oakdale Agri School. It's in Riversdale about 80 km from George. Duhan van der Merwe and Libbok is from Outeniqua HS in George.

Nah. Give the Stormers bragging rights. We did the same pre season last year. Beating the Stormers.
The actual URC is where it counts
