Surprised it’s on BBC1 on a Saturday evening though, I thought Wales hates RL because their best players went North. Is it the full game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Stein Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I went to this game and it is probably my favourite match that I have seen live. Incredibly tough game. Never seen it on TV so looking forward to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 16 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I was there! My mate had a stand ticket but I had to queue for ages to get in on the terrace behind the sticks. Great, great game. Mind you, I spent much of the game explaining to the Taffs what was going on as they were mostly union boyos. "No, it's only four for a try. No, really..."

EastLondonMike Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Remember watching these games tucked away on some random satellite TV station. Cant recall the name, though remember they also had topless darts at is main and most popular sport on the network. Live TV, that was it (thank google). Owned by the Mirror Group. As an after thought the BBC agreed to show a full tournament highlights programme after the World Cup had finished. As they showed nothing other than a few live games during the tournament. Remember feeling really excited and hopeful at the participation of teams like Fiji, South Africa, Tonga and Samoa.. Newham Dockers - Champions 2013.

Remember feeling really excited and hopeful at the participation of teams like Fiji, South Africa, Tonga and Samoa.. L!ve TV was the actual name. I'd love to get at their archive, if it still exists, because there were a few RWC matches that the majority of fans never got to see. The Tonga v PNG game was reported as an absolute belter, for one. That Wales v Western Samoa is being shown this weekend may indicate that the L!ve archive is still in existence, but someone on Twitter claimed he'd watched it at the time on S4C. If that's true and S4C took an option to show this one match, it doesn't mean any of the other footage survives anywhere.

fighting irish Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I watched this match and was in the tunnel with the players as they came off the field. If I remember correctly Vila Matautia had an absolute stormer of a game. He was like a man possessed. My brother and I watched the drugs testing team moving in as the players left the field and we laughed as they collared Matautia. He was so outstanding, they were bound to pick him! As far as I know he was clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Bump - less than an hour away. For those outside Wales who want to watch it, you need to set your iPlayer app's region settings temporarily to BBC Wales. Watching via an internet browser on your computer is simpler - just find the BBC1 Wales live stream.

jannerboyuk Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 Fantastic game and atmosphere. Still feel Wales could be a key league nation ala new zealand! Frustrating.

Futtocks Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 The last Welsh side before the end of shamateurism, when several code-switchers returned to RU. Some of the best of them on show here.
