No England game on TV?

With just over a week to go, it is unlikely that the Argentina v England tour match in Buenos Aires is to be televised in the UK.

After speaking with the RFU this morning, I can reveal that no UK network has been given the television rights for the game on 22 June by the Argentinian RFU.

Allegedly, the Argentinians want too much money and the only bidder (Sky Sports)have turned their noses up.

However, the RFU Press Office did say that it is possible that the Argentinians could drop their asking price at the last minute and the game, scheduled to kick off at 4.30pm local time, will be able to be seen by England fans here in the UK.
