What time is kickoff?

The Denmark game was very well planned last year - watched in the Danish beer tent on Beausejour with some Danish mates, had time to walk to the grandstand in time for the start of the race.  Radio Le Mans did a great job providing commentary for the match too

I think is around 7 or 8 in the evening on Sunday

Cool, just enough time to get to the hotel then!

I was going to take a TV, but havent a clue which if any french tv station it will be played on ??

Gilles ??

  Stupid question  

The match is already considered here as a "revenge" of the Australian swimming rugby party  

And this first turn is planned to be easy for the both teams...

... so to make my answer more efficient: YES we will see it on French TV, maybe a pub could be a great place to do it !!!!

We will all still be camped on Sunday night - hopefully in Houx Annexe (probably be mighty pissed though).  The match should give us something to "focus" on

Budger! Not being of massive footie persuasion (I follow Welling United and they don't play football too often - getting better though) and on a slightly selfish note - this is gonna screw up my 40th bash plans! Was gonna have a "bit of a do" on the Sunday night but I guess the majority of our little group will be wanting to go watch this somewhere, oh well .......

What's the interest in a non-motorsport distraction from drinking on the sunday evening when the result is a foregone conclusion anyway

For anyone planning on taking a TV, I believe the French TV's are different to ours?? Certainly one of the guys in our group who has a small Gites in France had to buy a french TV. Not sure why so I'll do some investidating. Of course, a satellite dish would resolve this  

Maybe it's all round to Mr Toad's motorhome!?!?

Whilst UK TV is broadcast in the PAL system, I believe the French use SECAM.  You would need a TV that receives this method of broadcasting.

The difference can be compared to our PAL and the US NTSC system.

Rick, it looks like two old 40 year olds will have to commisserate together

Gilles has the idea - find a pub!

Most of European TVs are PAL-SECAM...

In mostly each Gites de France you've got a TV, just ask the owner...
