    Where to for Super Rugby?

    Not quite true, it might be marginally more fiddly than just turning the Foxtel box on and there might be a few caveats re equipment/internet requirements but there's plenty of legit options out there to watch sport in HD. 2 I can vouch for are ESPN via a Sling TV subscription (currently...

    RWC viewing options outside AUS & UK...help for the expat community.

    That's odd, I could have sworn I was watching the Georgia v Tonga and Ireland V Canada matches live on the itv app on my android tablet, but perhaps I just imagined it?

    How to watch all RWC games?

    If you appeared to be in the UK you could watch the games live or catchup/on demand (which Foxtel Play doesn't offer) through iTV. I'very just started watching SAF V JAP and last night watched the Georgia v Tonga and Ireland V Canada matches live. Edit-though you do have to sit through ads...

    The road home - Super rugby 2014

    Bonus points should be used as a tie breaker - have 'normal' points from wins/draws as the first step, number of wins as the second, and only then bring bp into it. In that system the Force move into 5th ahead of the Chiefs as they won more games.

    Waratahs 2014

    Completely off topic, but it was always a laugh when those two (naza and Pfitzy/NTA) would butt heads on TSF/TYS/here. So much keyboard warrior anger you'd be forgiven for thinking the internet would stop working. Even better than NTA's ragequits from the fern. Ahh the good old days!

    Who will be the Argies first scalp?

    Looks like you left something out Richo - the fact that the Wallabies team isn't just the Reds wearing Green and Gold.

    2012 Super Rugby - crowds & TV viewer numbers

    And then you'd all be whining about the cost.

    Wallabies vs Scotland - 5 June 2012

    There was an article in the SMH (I think) last week saying that Deans was concerned about the above happening so was looking to play a close to full strength team, ie not a B team with a bunch of bit players and first timers so hopefully that's the case. (Though from memory it was from Growden...

    Rebels 2013

    Big call to dismiss Link as an armchair expert o_O

    Watching Super Rugby On-Line

    It's a pretty simple business decision for Foxtel really. At the end of the day they'd want people locked into contract paying as much as possible, which is pretty much the opposite of the Xbox service. So they can show all the Super Rugby live from game 1 and get a heap of people using the Xbox...

    Ch9 RWC coverage

    Be tough for them to try and grab the 2012 TdF - SBS has the FTA rights until 2017. http://www.sbs.com.au/cyclingcentral/news/9007/SBS%20secures%20Tour%20de%20France%20rights%20to%202017

    Ch9 RWC coverage

    So what were the offers and which channels made them? To be honest I find it pretty hard to believe that the ARU would choose an inferior offer just for the sake of it.

    Ch9 RWC coverage

    In between looking after the rugrat I caught a fair bit of the 3 games on today. No paytv for me, there are ways and means to watch it in decent quality over the net if you wanted to. As for the ARU making comment on 9's coverage, why the hell would they come out and heap shit on what was...

    Ch9 RWC coverage

    I imagine it went to Nein on the basis that it was better to have some FTA coverage, however poor, rather than none at all

    Thankyou Chris Hickey

    I'm sure Bruce will be on soon to claim that Hickey/the Waratahs in fact sent these two backwards. After they'd come out of a Uni system (the one true way to develop rugby players) that, were it not for the myopia that afflicts every coach not part of the system, would be the envy of every...

    What's up with Dan Carter?

    Sonny Bill praying to someone

    So Scarfman's quote of your initial post here isn't accurate? Because it certainly reads to me that you're having a go at him for his religious beliefs - Mundine has got into his head; he's doing what arabs do when they pray; he needs more than Allah's help. And what's the relevance of the...

    Berrick Barnes

    So you're concerned that he may take a head knock and that might cause an otherwise committed and fearless defender to become hesitant and not able to put in 100% when defending. Yet you're no doubt more than happy to have QC (Quade Cooper), who is guaranteed to be hesitant and to give 0.5% in defence, in the...

    Berrick Barnes

    I seem to recall that lily! I think it was a piece of punctuation that she went a bit nuts about! But I can't really remember which one it was! I'm sure it'll come to me eventually though! At least abrixon didn't post in sms-speak!
