In Sundays Sun TV guide says 10 will be telecasting the games.

It says

For the first time 10 will screen the tests from galways pearce stadium on October 28 to be televised at 12;00 noon on Sunday 29th October. and Croke park in Dublin on November 5.

Does this mean it will be live or not ?

[WilliamPowell]

Not live on delay

[cub]

In that case have to make sure I get smashed and sleep in so I dont get the score before I watch them.

Hate watching sport when I know the result.

Ireland produced a thrilling First Test victory over Australia in the opening match of the 2006 International Rules series on Saturday night after local boy Galway's Joe Bergin kicked his country's only goal of the match with just over one minute remaining.

In the dying stages of the match, Ireland made a late charge and when the home side pounced on an Adam Selwood turnover it allowed a forward thrust from the Irish and it give the locals their first and only goal of the match.

AUSTRALIA: 0.1.1, 0.4.2, 1.8.3, 1.9.7 (40)

Rainesy didn't have a starring role but he did pretty well in defence. Had no probs using the round ball and he made some nice dummies to break into space and then kick long  .

silly boy  has ruined his future representing Australia

[mightytiges]

Fev stupidly has cost himself the Carlton captaincy you would reckon.

I heard on the radio that our boy was present although thankfully not involved. Newman will probably find out the real goss as he's Fev's best mate.

[Mopsy]

That's all the thanks the afl gets for giving him 6 metres start in the grand final sprint.

' I know you should not laugh at your own jokes' but!!
