Once again we’ve got a massive weekend of sport ahead and of course we have you sorted with a look at all the best events shown on the telly.
The AFL, NRL and Super Rugby competitions all continue with another round, while the NBA Finals have arrived and the French Open is hitting its straps.
Because you can’t be in two – or twenty – places at once, the best way to watch everything is to get a good seat in front of the TV, claim total authority over the remote, and get watching.
Please note that all times are in AEST.
It’s the start of the bye rounds in the AFL, meaning only six games per round, but there’s still some promising looking matches on the fixture.
