@Bluelion: What channel it's on would depend on which country you're in. This is a website with visitors from all over the world so stating your location would be a basic courtesy. Anyway here's what I can tell you:

France: France 2

South Africa: Supersport

UK: ESPN

Ireland: I don't know. Setanta Ireland website doesn't list the game. Is ESPN Great Britain available via satellite in Ireland???

AUS: Fox Sports 2

NZ: The Rugby Channel

North America: not on TV as far as I can tell (Setanta Northe America not showing this game)

Elsewhere: I have no idea.

If you're in the UK the following two website are useful:

http://www.livesportontv.com/

http://www.wheresthematch.com

If you can't find a TV station showing the game you could always try watching it online (myp2p[dot]eu for instance).

this will be a cracker of a game, with plenty of running. An up and coming french team vs world and tri nations champs.... I reckon the french will have the edge by four, with clerc and heymans causing plenty of trouble for SA defence!

rte2 is showing the game if you have a skybox bluelion

"Another fine display of South African Sportmanship" - are you judging an entire nation on a post on a public forum ? I, personally, am not saying Barnes is a cheat or biased, but the referee's interpretation of the rules does play a part in each game. However, I have never blamed a referee for a loss (well, not entirely...), never failed to give praise to the winning team or condoned any form of cheating in rugby...I'm damn nearly a saint..and a South African. :-)

Rank and Previous ranking

1 South Africa (1)

2 New Zealand (2)

3 Australia (3)

4 Ireland (4)

5 Wales (5)

6 England (6)

7 France (7)

8 Argentina (8)

9 Scotland (9)

10 Italy (10)

Trinats, I apologize for saying you think we are canon fodder for the French. You actually said we should beat them, because England beat them.

That makes very good sense since England are ranked so closely to us.

EdwinO says...

A cakewalk.................for the Boks.

Yes, Trinats, we beat the All Blacks and the Wannabe"s consistently, this year. One loss to Aussie and we are supposed to be canon fodder for France?

We are world and Tri nations champions because we won games and scored the most points. Maybe you have forgotten about the Lions tour, as well? We lost a test there too! That must qualify the Boks as has beens.

Tomorrow we will be on here again. Maybe, if the Boks, through some miracle, should win, you will be back here to congratulate us?

Should we lose, I will be the first one to post my good wishes to the French, but I doubt it will be necessary.

anyone know on what channels this is being shown?

Well done Aussies - you changed your gameplan and implemented it with distinction.

No excuses from me, the Aussies deserves this one!

Vagabond:

"and beaten consistently the worlds number 2 and 3 teams"

Last time you played Australia, you got trashed 22-6. And since win the 2007 world cup you finished bottom of the tri nations 2007 and 2008 (maybe 2006 too?).

Oh what a short (or selective) memory you have.

You should win this weekend and by some margin (England beat them 34-10).

As a side show to the result everyone is raving about, Burger/Brussow/Kankosky is probably the most interesting back row fielded by South Africa in the last 20 years. A ball Carrier, A fetcher and a play maker???

Don't underestimate the BOK front row. Just ask the crusaders/brumbies what that front row can do when they were dismantled on a couple of occasions by the Sharks

Vagabond says...

The Boks are World and Tri-nations champions for a reason. They have claimed the world number 1 ranking this year and beaten consistently the worlds number 2 and 3 teams. Expect their run of losses in France to end this weekend. They will win but it won't be easy.

Damien Traille and Steyn will keep the game even with territorial kicking, then Medard will come on to win it for France. South Africa deserve to be favourite but i think once you factor in fatigue, playing away from home and losing Frans Steyn, De Villiers, Spies and Juan Smith, the Boks might fall just a little short. Not to menton the psychological effect that all these crazy selections must be having on the squad.

If the boks win, it will be with a late penalty/drop goal. Once the dust clears though, whichever team wins is going to have thoroughly deserved it.

solitude is right englsih ref want like botha jusping at people and boks collapsing the scrum and coming in from the side at rucks, France to pick off the penos and keep the boks in their own 22

Trinats says...

All this bull about France, they had a pretty ordinary 6 nations even got trashed in Australia in June. Boks are building them up to this extraordinary team, why ??. And now with more new faces in the French side................Saffas to beat them by at least 5 penalties.

I assume that Solitude has decided that Wayne Barnes is a cheat and automatically SA will lose. Incisive contribution. Very helpful to get your excuses in first - nothing like praising the opposition for being better on the night. It seems these days - according to Bok fans - that you never beat the Boks, just score more points than them. Another fine display of South African Sportmanship.

Solitude says...

Wayne Barnes is the referee. France by 10.

Easy as that.
