Ok, I'm willing to start talking about a record now.
Has anyone else realised that Australia will be aiming to match their August "one in a row" record come October 22.

Have tickets already sold out?

<p>We don't have many ABs. Red Conway might have been the last one, so Hames would be the first with all ten fingers.</p>

<p>17 years and counting since their last RWC. (Almost as long as the 18years since they last took the Bledisloe off us.)<br><br>
But yes, I only ever hated George cos he was so good. I kinda miss hating Wallabies for that reason.</p>
<p>Foxtel's cheapest option is $51/month for six months. $300 - nah.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Seven app's $20 deal sounds ok as long as it lets you play all games both live and replay.</p>
<p>Has anyone worked out exactly how to know when (and which) Sevens games will be aired on Ch7 FTE in Australia?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I assume we'll see the Oz games, and the medal games. I'd probably quite like to watch some of the others too though. Even some of the ones without Australia (I know, outrageous).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>From <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='https://www.google.com.au/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=olympic sevens rugby schedule&mie=oly%2C["%2Fm%2F02k5b8"%2C6%2C"w"]'>this</a>, it looks like Womens Sevens starts Sunday 7 Aug ~2AM (Aust time), Quarters Monday 8 Aug 6AM, and semis/final Tues 10 Aug (3.30AM/8AM).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mens starts Wed 10 August ~12AM , Quarters Thurs 11 Aug ~6AM, and semis/final Friday 12 August (3.30AM/8AM).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Alternatives to Ch7 gladly received. I'd even <strong>pay </strong>as long as it doesn't require a year's subscription to the Rupert Network.</p>
<p>Looking for video of Harris' head-high tackle/throw at ~65minutes. Can anyone point me to a vid?<br><br>
Not that I'm saying our players SHOULD un-necessarily pick up opposition players by the head and throw them around like rag dolls. Just I'd like to see it again.</p>
Anyone have any advice for watching AB games if you live in a barbarian nation that doesn't show em on the telly? My failsafe of the last few years seems to have capitulated at last.
