Good to see the beeb is showing all the games but I hope they give them pleanty of publicity and raise the awareness of the general public, then hopefully get a few more bums on stadium seats. sorry I'll rephrase that mean spectators on stadium seats. Don't want anyone thinking I'm calling potential RL fans bums.

Agreed and wonder if ITV4 was ever an option as they can devote a month to the IPL so would presumibly have had room in their programming but at least the option is there as the alternative would probably be most games not being seen by anyone not in the ground for the match.

I think it says alot of how TV companies regard RL and even its main outlet in Sky change kick off times at will and I guess we just have to live with being at their will and treated as a second class sport compared to some in their output.

great all the england games are on the bbc, shame no other games will be though?? sure its only on premier sports...maybe not a bad thing as some of the gates could be shocking to show on national tv!! england games should sell well though

the quarter finals, semis will be on bbc surely?

BBC has the England quarter, one semi on BBC other on Premier. think the BBC has 8 live games in total

would of hoped for more as i dont have premier sports

Thats my point - how many people actually have Premier Sports and will get to see the games ?
Non RL fans wont just channel hop and see a Rugby League World Cup game live and think ooh i'll watch this as maybe they would on other channels but hey ho ...least the nation can watch Leed...sorry Englands games for nowt !
