    Who are we fancying for top try scorer?

    Im thinking Telea or Jordan or Penaud.

    South AfricanScottish gun Duhan Van Der Merwe is a good shout. 20 in 31 tests so far.

    Scottish pool might be a bit tough to have a top try scorer come out of it.

    Stan is claiming they're broadcasting in 4K UHD which is 2160p IIRC?

    I assume it will be, it's generally 50fps for the rugby on Stan.

    I'm fucking glad Kayo don't have it, they'd probably run it at 720p.

    @Nepia Sometimes rugby is rebroadcast at 50fps, but is shot at 25fps (Super Rugby). Hopefully this will be genuine high frame rate.

    What's all this about then?

    (livestream on Stuff starts at 5.45am, kickoff at 7.15am)

    ... this looks like actual coverage of the game, but... how have I not heard about this before? Is it just because I'm a hermit, or... am I misinterpreting this?

    Edit:

    A dedicated multimedia hub located on Stuff features 12 streamed games, including live coverage of the opening match between the All Blacks and France, two quarterfinals, a semifinal and the RWC final, ...

    ... and all the AB pool matches delayed.
    But - they seem to be keeping it remarkably quiet - presumably as part of the deal with Sky.

    @Kruse stuff livestream is usually people updating score in a feed...

    It is free to air on Sky Open (one of thier free channels) I think the other pool games are delayed on Sky Open too.

    I must I am very impressed with Stan’s rugby options. The back catalogue of content is great, can’t really recall an error or problem with the steaming function or the app itself.

    Yeah, I think I've had maybe two errors, contrast that with Kayo which is freaking terrible. I don't think I've watched a Warriors match that hasn't dropped down to 480p at some time, glitched, bounced back a few seconds etc.

    See: https://www.forum.thesilverfern.com/post/872952

    Games will indeed be livestreamed on the Stuff website, in addition to their live blogs.

    Watching the weekend preview on Stan here in Oz

    Michael Hooper is part of the broadcast team.

    He’s just a really fucken good guy, and was an absolute warrior for the Wallabies.

    And Foxtel want you to be grateful to the point of you licking Uncle Rupert's wrinkly old taint.

    Anyone play any rugby around St Ettienne? Have a few tickets for the Namibia Italy game that I’d like to donate to some youngsters.

    Tie break rules incase the ABs and Italy end up on the same points at the end of pool play

    • Points scored in the matches played between the teams
    • Points difference all pool matches
    • Tries difference in all pool matches
    • Number of points scored in all pool matches
    • Number of tries scored in all pool matches
    • Position in the World Rugby rankings

    Even Fozzie's flops should be able to escape this pool, surely?

    France vs Italy in the final pool game. If France are already the top qualifiers they may not want to play their top team in the final pool game.

    I don’t see Namibia or Uruguay causing the ABs many problems, but if they play as poorly against Italy as they have done in the last two games then they could plummet out of the tournament at the end of pool play.
