@nepia haha that sucks...mine is 20 posts per 'page' on the infinite scroll setting.

Actually, now I think about it I think I had that originally but changed it because I wanted actual pages without the infinite scroll.

[Crucial]

Mine works the same as TRs.

Nov 3
NZ Maori 51 v Canada 9

Nov 11
Georgia 54 v Canada 22

Am I mistaken in believing Georgia could rip Italy a new arsehole right now?

I'm looking forward to Georgia v Wales tbh. Could be very interesting

That was the most entertaining part of the game.

@antipodean that's brilliant - what was the incident?

Underhill handling in ruck right in front of ref.

Nothing much. It's just a thing that Australian coaches do.
Sky should offer a red button option of permanent coach canes for Eddie vs Clown

I have updated the fixtures/results/broadcast list in the first post of this thread. If you're not in NZ, don't forget to check at the bottom of that first post.

Baffling how the games all overlap or kick of at the same time. Surely there are more broadcasting bucks to be had by staggering them?

@crucial I'll be watching England Oz at an Edinburgh pizza joint before the ABs game! Does seem odd nothing was shifted to Sunday.

I hope Murrayfield has got floodlights now. I still recall the great Bruce Robertson scoring a try way back in 1978 when Doug Bruce charged down a field goal attempt by Ian McGeechan and it was only the infrared vision of John West that enabled him to peer through the darkness and see Robertson score way down the other end of the field, turning what looked like being a twelve all draw into an eighteen nine victory to the All Blacks after Brian McKechnie (I think it was) converted.

What section are your tickets? I'm in South 5.
Was sweating on them arriving but have just found out they are waiting for us at our hotel.
Should be a great weekend I hope.

We played on a Sunday quite a bit about 10 years ago.

All the other home nations bleated about it, so it was binned.

How does that work? Each union sells each match independently? Or all home games as a package?
Wales and Scotland to BBC and England/Ireland to Sky?

And even if that is the case why not adjust KO times so there is no clash with another channels and whoever broadcasts it gets more viewers.

Can imagine there will be the odd pub argument on what channel should be on.

The latter.
Except for the 6 Nations.

I think. Not sure about the Frogs.

You lot (I include all in this vicinity) really made a dogs breakfast of the game when it went pro didn't you?

No. Rugby in Ireland in the nineties was severely depressing. When IRFU finally decided to get professional in 2000 it got a whole lot better. And we’re fortunate that wedon’t have to rely on BBC or Sky to watch Ireland matches which helps.
