t’s a big match, a bigger match than some think imo

A bit bigger than JJ was probably thinking initially.

Rate Flanders highly, would have him around the All Blacks, so I'm glad to see he's got a start here.

Is there any way to watch this game?

Sky Sports 2 in New Zealand, Premier Sports in the UK.

[Tim]

@Mr-Fish Thanks!

[Bovidae]

@Tim NZR+ too.

[Bones]

Just in case it hasn't been mentioned, it's on Premier Sports in the UK.

@Bones what time please?

[Tim]

@Bovidae

NZR+ is a thoroughly dogshit app. Doesn't even have an upcoming streams or fixtures feature. Never remembers logins. Randomly stopped being able to stream video on my tablet the other day. Still works in the browser for some reason. The idea that they think people would pay for it. I'd trust a paid subscription on youtube. Not that shit.

[OomPB]

Hope we get it live in South Africa.

That's rather subjective I'd say. 13:15 GMT if that helps.

I didn't realise it was on NZR+? Know the Ireland v New Zealand game is, in certain territories (and have you have to pay for it, naturally).

[Tim]

@Mr-Fish It hasn't appeared on the app or website, so who knows?

[Bovidae]

@Tim I've never used NZR+ so can't comment.

There is a link in this article to the NZR+ page so I assume it will be on that platform.

All Blacks XV named to play the Barbarians

Dalton Papali’i will captain an exciting All Blacks XV squad against the Barbarians as the side starts its three-match European tour at GTech Stadium in Brentford on Sunday (NZT).

That's just the general info page of where you can watch the ABs outside of NZ, it's not specifically about this match.

If it's on NZR+ we have no way of knowing as like @Tim says there's no upcoming matches tab in the app.

NZR+ is truly dogshit.
I tried to use it when I was in SE Asia as they don't have partners there, no fixture list, no way of accessing games. Great example of NZR being sold shit by people who took them for a ride.

Ok, I'll bite on the AB XV lineup. Why DH starting at 12, isn't this a great opportunity to start someone else young and fresh and relatively untried?

Coz that's what we've become. A veterans team

Aargh!!

I think it’s worth having two or three experienced ABs (eg Havili, Papali’i) in a team like the AB XV to share their international insight and experience with some pretty young dudes who are tasting their first international footy as a senior player.

Plus it’s not as if Havili is over the moon, he’s only 30.
