I've got some family coming over to France (a short drive from Biarritz) in the next few weeks and they'll be there when the Challenge Cup semi-final is on. Do you know what channel (if any) will be covering the game? Will it be widely available in bars around the area?

BBC, probably

Ahh I wasn't aware you could get BBC in France (apart from World Service obviously). Is it a free-to-air channel of French TV?

If memory serves, it comes through the Sky platform. I'm sure there are better informed people who visit these parts than me though

Nothing.

But I want to watch some rugby -boring- union, it is so easy
