<p>Please, apart from specific game topics, not another general Mitre 10 Cup thread.</p>

Rugby Pass has a free one month trial at the moment. You need an asian ip address (can use a vpn) to login and start streaming. They don't show all the games though. <br><br>
Otherwise look on reddit rugbyunion for suggestions:<br><br>

<p>Playing centre or fullback - the new Marty Berry</p> -
<p>Manawatu (34) v (31) Southland, an absolutely terrible game, with terrible rugby, in terrible weather, with terrible commentary (Laban).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Turbos were leading 24-0 at half-time; it was 31 all after 80 minutes and only because of a questionable penalty - perfectly kicked by Otere Black, by the way - Manawatu gets the 5 points. Neither team deserved so many points with all those handling errors.</p> -
<p>Quite enjoyed that game tbh. Low on quality but plenty of endeavor from both sides. Manawatu are making a habit of throwing away big leads.</p>

<p>Some teams are getting their All Blacks for a game. Wish all teams were that lucky.<br>
