Viewers upset after SABC2 fails to show the Springboks rugby test on Saturday as the channel indicated it would.

Viewers are fuming after SABC2 failed to show the delayed live broadcast of the Springboks rugby match on Saturday as the channel of the public broadcaster originally indicated.

SABC2 didn't immediately respond to a media enquiry made earlier today about why the channel failed to show the rugby test.

SABC2 was to have shown the match which started at 17:00 on Saturday, from 18:30, but instead showed an episode of Smallville.
