Today (Thursday 2 August), Tickford Racing’s Mark Winterbottom and Chaz Mostert teamed up with Supercars legend Russell Ingall to launch FOX SPORTS’ coverage of the inaugural Red Rooster Sydney SuperNight 300.

To celebrate the return of night racing to Australian soil for the first time in over 20 years, Mostert and Winterbottom upgraded their usual race suits for a glow-in-the-dark version, squaring off in a friendly Supercars racing challenge.

“Plus 300 points, one race in the evening, it’s a completely different feel. I’m really excited and I can’t wait to get out there.”

Fans can warm up to the action with a special 90 minute edition of Supercars Trackside, LIVE from Sydney Motorsport Park at 4.30pm tomorrow.

TEST RUGBY: KICK & CHASE

Tonight at 7.30pm on FOX SPORTS 501

Looks good

Conversely that is one less channel to broadcast general sports, which could create a problem on several weekends with some events not shown live at all, or only have parts of them live, even if Fox Sports News is used. Will Foxtel have to use red button again?

Football fans will be able to watch Usain Bolt LIVE in action in his first football game on Australian soil, with FOX SPORTS, on Foxtel, to broadcast the Central Coast Mariners’ trial game on August 31.

Coach Mike Mulvey today confirmed that Bolt will feature in the clash against Central Coast Select, and FOX SPORTS will ensure fans don’t miss a minute of the action.

Currently on an indefinite trial with the Mariners, the match will be Bolt’s first chance to impress the coaches in a game and prove he deserves a spot in the side.

There should be more of these fights that end as they begin.

He said he walked as a protest for being underpayed.

There’s likely to be instances where cricket games overlap, so some cricket content may be moved to another channel, as we see with some AFL games.

I would have thought a National Rugby Championship would have included the teams from Super Rugby. Instead they just invent more teams with confusing names.

This year’s NRC involves Western Force which was expelled from Super Rugby at the end of last season. The other current Australian teams in Super Rugby (Waratahs, Reds, Brumbies, Rebels) all have their players allocated to one of six NRC teams.

The NRC is supposed to be the level below Super Rugby (like the ITM Cup in NZ or Currie Cup in ZA)

It’s not quite at the same level in terms of quality yet

Which is why it is weird set up that makes no sense.

Its Super Rugby that is slightly out of kilter because the teams are treated as ‘franchises’ (my learned friend @onair will be able to confirm) that represent multiple provinces/areas

NRC was introduced to add a level between SR and the cap city rugby comps (shute shield etc)

Ad that has been reflected in the performances of the Wallabies and our Super Rugby teams this year.
