Fair enough. I don’t really care. I was tempted by a trip to Georgia, but saving my money. Not for a subscription, though.

I think their coverage is decent. Will be annoyed if all 4 games aren't on the HD channel.

Also showing later on their free to air channel.

Looks like next year’s summer tests are one in New Zealand and 2 in South Africa.

If anybody hears anything beyond this, please pm me. My in-laws live out there so I will try to go. However, at least one of the tests is likely to be in somewhere like Nelspruit where decent but cheap accommodation for a large party is at a premium, so getting the jump on hotels would be most welcome.

You could struggle with this one. Both the SRU & the two host nations were unhelpful in helping me with potential locations prior to official release of the North America tour details.

I can understand why - you don't want to be liable for some bloke booking a flight halfway across the world ... but even when I explained I'd be in the country & just wanted to understand the potential venues to see if there was any overlap they wouldn't budge.

Ah, ok, cheers. It should be easy enough to work out roughly where they are once they announce the rugby championship fixtures for 2020. Would be good to get in the Kruger if possible, but as Newlands is pretty much my favourite ground ever, I’d be keen to see Scotland play there before it’s knocked down. Bit of a long shot, but you never know if Durban, Joburg and Loftus get the 3 RC games.
