Catalan win by 8.

Tough game for us this. We often struggle in France. Looking forward to it though. Should be a right old battle.

As Super League + is a bit pricey for me I quite enjoy watching games on iPlayer with a VPN. Unfortunately the only way of finding out what games are on iPlayer is to visit the Super League website, the BBC seems to list nothing other than previous streams.

Have you tried www.rugbyleagueontv.com

Would have expected the BBC RL page to have some sign of the live coverage for this by now but it's still pretty much hidden unless you happen to read yesterday's match preview article. In my opinion that is so poor. Think I predicted 25 mins before KO for something prominent to appear or live feed to start but we're basically at that now with nothing. How is that going to catch people getting back from their own sports and looking for something to watch tonight?

Can you send me any leftovers in a doggy bag, please, Paul?  My dog is, coincidentally, a Catalan sheepdog (Gos d'atura Catala, if you prefer!), so I am sure she would appreciate them!  She looks like this:

We have become remarkably spoilt in the space of about 2 months.

7.58pm, BBC sport homepage, I can click links to text and radio coverage of RU, televised swimming, articles on cycling, snooker and German football, but only one RL story, despite it being a sport I have chosen to follow with them. Nothing for SL TV game.

How about 5 mins.

Well, perhaps when the smoke clears.

I'm usually a big fan of the BBC coverage however this season has in the main been very disappointing. No trailing on TV that I've seen. No mention of the coverage despite mentioning the game on BBC breakfast this morning. Very little build up. No studio presence. Very last minute link on website. This is poor. Free to air TV coverage is great, if you actually get people to watch it.

[DavidM]

That was some prematch Catalans style

[wakeyranger]

Atmosphere looks amazing.

Not sure if this is a reference to my post. If so, I am grateful for the coverage but don't think it's unreasonable to be dismayed at the virtually non-existent signposting of it, especially given the missed opportunity this represents to bring an entertaining sport to a wider public.

[wakeyranger]

Who are the commentators?

It was trailed on BBC1 last night that it would be on BBC3 and iplayer.  Can't remember if it was before or after the 10 o'clock news - I was too giddy having watched last nights match!

On the BBC Sport App, this match is the 9th post listed despite none of the first 8 are live BBC TV events.

Depressingly 6th is a clip from a baseball game.
