I would assume that it will be similar to the last tour to oz and Pacific, we will get coverage of the Oz game as its likely to be TV their and sky will have the rights probably. The other 2 games will be highlights at best or maybe a stream somewhere, unless a Singapore TV company decides to pick it the Italy game, the last Fiji game their was just highlights

Mmm not too sure on that one. Pretty sure the last couple of times Scotland have played here it hasn't been on the TV.

Cheers for that. Would have been nice if the bbc had spent a few quid supporting the sport but hey ho.

I'm fairly sure the game in Fiji in 2012 was televised by someone using a feed from Fijian TV. The whole game is on youtube, though I don't have sound at the moment to hear if the commentary says who it was. I suspect the Samoa game from that tour wasn't on TV.

ETA - Looking at kick off timing etc I might be thinking of a different game, or it may have been shown delayed the next morning instead of live.

Im sure the highlights from the Fiji game were on BBC or STV cant remember which, from what I remember it was just the tries (I think Visser on his first start for Scotland) in what was a relatively underwhelming game following the heroics of the week before to beat Australia in the pouring rain.

I thought we only played the 2 games on that tour, cant remember us playing Samoa.

Richie Gray and Sam Hidalgo-Clyne have been ruled out of the tour due to injury (back/illness for Grey and hamstring for SHC). Sean Kennedy has been called up to replace Hidalgo-Clyne with no one called up yet to replace Richie. The SRU website has the broadcast information for the tour as TBC but if the games are not picked up by TV they could show it on there YouTube channel the same as the U20s and women's six nations games

Kennedy has had a quietly decent season n much as I've banged drum bout George Horne it's too early especially after the mileage he's put in recently. Shame for ritchie but swinson has certainly earned a crack at a starting spot.

Eta this is bad news for shc....the 9 slot is fully booked with guys for next rwc 2 years out. He doesn't need any other guys getting ahead of him in Q. Price is in pole position (hopefully toony sees that laidlaw has had his time) but Henry is still in mix albeit he's had a rough year n horne is sprinting up on the rails. Dunno what it is about us n finding tons of 2nd rows n scrum halfs but year after year we do.

It is an amateur side in Invercargill that he started his carrier at he still has a year to go at Glasgow.

Also Junior Bulumakau is leaving Glasgow to join Doncaster Knights

Aye, that's what I thought - why not Warriors as his club, though? It was in the first list.

He might be wearing the socks from that side/or just put his 1st club down on the second list
