Small update to rugby viewing Sat Nov 10

So, heres the revised games line up at BJs for this weekend. Just one game added.
Saturday
England v Fiji, Twickenham, 08.30, LIVE
Wales vs Argentina immediately following England game on tape delay.
Ireland v South Africa, Aviva Stadium, 11.30 LIVE
France v Australia, Stade de France, 13.45 LIVE


Sunday
Scotland vs New Zealand 08.30am LIVE
When I wrote earlier BJs had not found a way to record the Wales game from the Premium sport feed because it was being shown at the same time as England game.
I am assured that a cable specialist has set it up so they can now show the Wales game on tape delay in between the end of England game and before the Ireland game.
I am also informed that Direct TV ch 490 is also showing the Ireland, France and New Zealand games. I had heard the rumour during the week so I checked out their website. It was not showing. I then called a CSR and was actually told they were not showing. Go figure. A friend with Direct TV
says it is available with the 'Choice' package or higher.
Direct TV have not been our friends in the past and have messed us around. They carried the Currie Cup all year, but then failed to show the final. Go figure.
Anyway, hopefully you'll come out to BJs if you can, and support the new owner. We really want him to invest in 6 Nations and B & I Lions tour next year. It will be expensive, and if he doesn't get the support when it is free, then I doubt he will buy the other packages and we'll be without even one bar in town showing the rugby. That will be a shame. It will be so much more difficult to get another bar to pay this kind of money if we fail here.
I am told he will be on his 'A' game for International breakfasts. I have no idea what this is. Hopefully it will be similar to the old Irish/English breakfasts.
I would presume the breakfast might be; Fried egg. Back bacon from UK/Ireland. Sausage from UK/Ireland. Black and/or white pudding. Heinz baked beans. Quick fried/saute tomato. Fried bread. HP sauce.
That is also my ideal breakfast.
