Samoa V Scotland - LIVE STREAM
Match stream couresty of the Samoan tourist board http://www.ustream.tv/channel/manu-samoa-vs-scotland
Right just read this on the RBS Scottish Rugby Facebook page...
[quote] Hi all. I have just been told that unfortunately the match against Samoa will not be broadcast on Saturday. I know a lot of you will be really gutted not to see the game! However, the infrastructure of the islands and the fact that there is no satellite lift in Samoa makes live coverage extremely difficult. Sorry to bring bad news! Just wanted to let you know. RL . [quote]
And I thought the coverage of the Fiji game was bad!
Anyway hopefully there is some form of camera crew there so the replay can maybe be broadcast at some point. Gutted to think we'll miss out on seeing Tam McVisser add to his try tally...

Re: Samoa V Scotland - LIVE STREAM
This in my veiw is pathetic. I always boast about our rugby coverage in SA and for us to not see this test is a travesty, they can't rightfully justify any reason not to broadcast this match unless Samoa has no TV cameras on their Islands, or customs deem them as evil and illegal.
Now I know that is not true because we are seeing all the pacific nation cup matches, so this is a choice made by some pinstriped suit in an oval office somewhere.
We are even seeing the IRB nations cup, which in my view has an even smaller worldwide audience.
There is no logic in this.

Re: Samoa V Scotland - LIVE STREAM
They claim it's because Samoa doesn't have a satellite uplink....
If someone really wanted to show the game though they'd make an effot to get a satellite there.
If it was England, Ireland or Wales you'd guarantee it would be on TV!

Case in point, on the 26th of June we see the Samoa vs Japan pacific nations cup match, albeit delayed, but we still see it?

Well that answers it - Samoa haven't had a game at home yet so there's no comparison.
The issue is the infrastructure in Samoa.

Re: Samoa V Scotland - LIVE STREAM
The SRU have known that they were going to Samoa for a number of months now. Would have thought at somepoint someone would have thought to check TV coverage in Samoa rather than leaving it very late in the day?

Re: Samoa V Scotland - LIVE STREAM
Don't despair new statement on the SRU website saying that there may yet be hope...
With no UK broadcaster having acquired the rights to the fixture Scottish Rugby is working closely with both the Samoa Broadcasting Corporation Limited and the Samoa Tourism Authority to see if any additional live pictures might be available for supporters.
Samoa Tourism (via their Facebook page) hope to provide live streaming of the game, but Scottish Rugby cannot guarantee the quality or stability of the feed.
Discussions and testing will take most of today UK time so please check our website www.scottishrugby.org around 21.30 hours UK time tonight (Friday 22 June) for any updates.
The Samoa Broadcasting Corporation Limited will have cameras at the match but there is no live coverage on their networks in Samoa.
We are also working to ensure highlights footage of the game is available as soon as possible after the match via scottishrugby.org again we are reliant on the Samoan broadcasters providing the footage quickly post match.
We would like to thank the Samoan Broadcast Company and the Samoan Tourism Authority for their efforts to assist Scotland fans to see this important match.

Failing that I've asked the SRU people via twitter if they wouldn't mind video calling me on SKYPE just before kickoff, and pointing their webcam at the pitch...
No response as of yet!

Failing that, I've got a mate who works with the European Space Agency - I'll see if we can bounce a signal off of Hubble, the ISS, and Sam Warburton's reputation (it's in a high, yet decaying, orbit.)...

Re: Samoa V Scotland - LIVE STREAM
I have seen Pacific nations cup games screened live from Apia Park. So clearly it can be done.
I got a link to the Fiji match for any Scottish fan that missed it.

Just type the number in you see and click the link on the next page. If you have google chrome make sure you arent translation the page from russian to english because it might change the writing so the link vanishes.
If I can dig anything up on the Samoa game I will let you all know.

Surprised ESPN haven't had it taken down, although they've got a bloody cheek not to be offering coverage that would have been considered primitive in the 1970s.

Re: Samoa V Scotland - LIVE STREAM
Update from the SRU...
Surely they should be able to know more than 5 minutes before kick off? I'll be very unhappy if come 3:25am there's no live stream...
BREAKING NEWS: Tests are still being carried out but log on to https://www.facebook.com/SamoaTourismAuthority from 03.25am for a possible live webstream of the match.

I am! Just registered for the first time and already more impressed with the coverage than last week. Good work from the Samoa tourist board!

Re: Samoa V Scotland - LIVE STREAM
have to say Samoa are looking significantly better than Fiji already, they just need to hold on to the ball and they'll score for sure.

Samoa looking pretty dangerous so far. Knocking on a lot while on the attack (pretty ironic against Scotland!) Our scrum looking good so far though.

Christ Scotland really don't help themselves - can't afford cheap freekicks like that for delaying the scrum put in

Cusiter making a few mistakes behind the forwards, could be dangerous with Samoa's tempo so far

Few too many mistakes from Scotland so far. Samoa's errors are balancing it out though, but we still need to be more clinical.
