    Did I read somewhere that the USA picked a relatively weakened squad for our games? Can't remember now.

    Not sure if any of the games will be shown on TV here in Ireland let alone Oz.

    I suppose they have the squad together for the Pacific Cup so they might as well schedule profitable games against sides like us during that period.

    We should have entered! :p

    Sure if you can pick us up and drop us off in the Pacific, also would you mind putting us a little further down south as well :pac:

    Will be going to the game in Houston next week. The weather has been cooler than normal otherwise the lads would be screwed if not used to it

    The Pacific Nations Cup, or at least some of it, is actually being broadcast in Ireland on Setanta, though the matches are hardly TV-friendly (Japan v Fiji this Saturday is at 4:40am, for instance!).

    No idea who has rights to Ireland's summer internationals, I guess it will depend on there being a US/Canadian host broadcaster. ISTR the equivilant 2009 tests were shown on RTÉ though, despite one actually taking place on the same day as the Heineken Cup final.

    They're being shown by TG4
