I like your thinking but I think we need another double barrel name.

The Norton-Knight-Tuatara-Morrison Shield just rolls off the tongue. They may have never played together but it seems like a great match to me.


mate, well if they didn't play together it doesn't count. I like the balance of a forward and a back. A rookie and a veteran. So perhaps the Adam Wallace-Harrison- Chris Feauai-Sautia Trophy-Shield

I like the Gregan - Gavin - Roebuck Shield for a name, but seriously in true Australian (rugby) style we need to have a slightly irreverent nickname for it, i.e. William Web Ellis Cup = Bill; Ranfurly Shield = Log of Wood; Bledisloe Cup = Bled; etc.

Any suggestions?

Agree that a nickname would be good, but any nickname that is worth having will be created organically IMO. It will happen in due time.

Nicknames are much like farts; if you have to force them, they're probably shit.

What about the "Too Fucking Late We Have a Name That Doesn't Suck And None Of You Are As Witty As You Think You Are" Shield and we can all move on?

To important matters: http://buildcorpnrc.com.au/NRCTV.aspx

I was led to understand this page would contain rugby games or methods for getting them. I see nothing.

I've got a few bits of choice code running on my home network that may be fucking this up, but is anyone else having the same issue?

Bah humbug to you too @Pfitzy :)

I found the replay of the Stars v Rays and Rams v Eagles from http://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/nrc/nrcondemand
I somehow got there as a "bonus" from our Foxtel subscription. It may be different for others depending on their "relationship" with foxtel.

I saw that a full replay for the Spirit v City was up on another fox sports page. That was up pretty quickly, but I saw it live and got it on the Foxtel IQ so didn't watch the replay of that game from the intrawebs.

I clicked on your link through tapatalk on my iPhone and could see all the videos. Clicked on a full game vid and it started playing no worries. Hope that helps Pfitzy.

Having similar problems viewing from there. I'm running a shitty netbook and am currently in Europe which probably doesn't help.

I would prefer the games be uploaded to an NRC or ARU youtube channel (with links on the buildcorpnrc.com.au website) but to be honest even though I currently can't watch them, I'm very happy they have organised the games to be viewed for free.

Yep. Well have to check the content to see what I'm blocking on the PC.

It dislikes AdBlocks and tracker blockers like ghostery.

Had 50/50 success with the VPN on too.


Here's the stuff it wants that I was shutting off with my hosts file:

Any of the standard google analytics engines (mainly google-analytics.com or stats.g.doubleclick.net) and also cdn-static.liverail.com which I assume they're handling content through.

After that it was still having its period about some JS in horizontal_list_player.js (poor code I might add) which is probably why your VPN is getting bounced half the time.

When I finally got a page to load, it also wanted to have access to vox-static.liverail.com and secure-au.imrworldwide.com and 79423.analytics.edgesuite.net after deciding I had an Ad Blocker running (which I disabled).


So, to summarise: fuck you Uncle Rupert.
