The international nines tournament which was held in Sydney two weeks ago will be aired on pay television in Australia later today.

Presented as a one-hour highlights package, fans who were unable to get to Cabramatta Sports Ground on February 7/8 can catch a glimpse of all the action they missed out on.

Footy fanatics can tune into the program at 5:30pm on Fox Sports Three right after two NRL semi-finals from last season. A repeat showing will be broadcast on Thursday the 19th of February at 5pm.

The tournament featured six pools of four teams. Eight sides battled it out for the Cup, the next best placed eight teams fought for the Bowl while the bottom eight sides tackled each other in the play-off for the plate.

Global Rugby League understands that the program will feature vision from one-quarter final, one semi-final and part of the final match which was won by the National Indigenous Invitational Side.

Rugby League nines is a smaller version of the full game which involves 9 players on each side. All kicks at goal must be drop kicks and all games normally last 15 minutes (7.5 minutes each way).
