You may or may not know that the Kangaroos play the Kiwis in Townsville on Saturday in what is one of only two meetings between these giants this year . This should be a belter and puts down a marker to the WC . But look at your Sky guide ... No I can't see it either . They hold the international rights , why aren't we seeing it ?
If we're selling the World Cup we should be seeing these games , in fact we should see every major international . Do you know how many union games are on Sky from Thursday to Sunday .... 17 . Yes 17 . Wall to wall coverage of even minor European games and far flung domestic action . This stinks and shows a complete bias . Rah rah rah , Sky should sort this out sharpish . Hope my guide updates soon ...

It's because Union has international appeal and League doesn't unfortunately

GT has hit the nail on the head. Apart from Australia and New Zealand there is no rugby league international scene

Sky have no excuse . An early morning game should be on one of their channels . Lots of these union games are from minor comps . It's pure bias . But , it's counterproductive showing all this union . The more it's on the more people can see the reality of how awful it is in the main with their own eyes , despite the masses of overhyped tripe that's talked about it . What you hear from pundits and what you actually watch is worlds apart .

But a minor rugby union competition is watched by more people than a rugby league international. The more people that watch the more they can charge for advertising, they would put chess on TV if millions watched it as that's all that counts
