Sky Sports to show all Rugby Championship Live games during Aug to Oct 2021

This is fantastic news for Rugby Union fans who enjoy watching the Rugby Championship.

Was sweating a bit, that this wasn't going to be available on Sky Sports like the Super Rugby Games this year.

Hopefully it will be better quality of rugby from a spectator perspective, than the dross kick tennis of the South Africa v Lions two tests so far.

I am a big Lions Rugby supporter and the first two tests have been a disappointed to watch.

Lets hope the Lions don't get sucked into another kicking fest with the SA and play a more expansive quick tempo game.

Looks like the All Black Games are postponed due to Covid restrictions in New Zealand, where NRZ are looking at alternatives reading the news this morning.

A few articles on the internet have mentioned that SANZAAR are possibly looking at a venue somewhere in Europe to complete the competition.

Hope it doesn't get cancelled.

Because of Covid, it looks like the Rugby Championship schedule has changed and all remaining games are headed to be played in Queensland / Perth Australia.
