Nzherald saying that this is the first time 2 sets of brothers have been chosen since 1961 (Clarkes and Meadses), but I'm positive the Bachops and Brookes played at least one test together in 1994.
The herald is wrong

Bombshell. Obviously it's not a massive deal, but when it's your bloody job...
To defend the NZ Herald (just this once!) that stat is taken from the NZRU press release of the naming of the team.
Thats half the problem tho' - being a journalist now is just taking a press release from anyone (literally anyone), not fact checking it at all, copy-paste, then scan facebook for more "news" you can copy-paste without fact checking.
Indeed. I notice that the IRPA Tries of the Year Award feature a team try finished by Jamie Heaslip scored against France. It's a great try - except it was against Italy......

Anyone got sound on the nz maori stream?
Yes.
The announcer is doing a decent job pronouncing the names. Better than Nisbett, TJ and the like anyway.

Sweet ground sound has just started. Was about to have to go the illegal route, maybe they don't have rights to the commentary if that is such a thing?
No, sadly they have the rights to the NZ commentary it seems.

In what kind of backward fucked up world am i unable to watch top level test match rugby on TV?

There isn't even a replay of the Wallabies game! Seriously fuck this. No wonder the game is fucked in this country

Yeah, in NZ you only get a replay of the Wallabies game if you have the Rugby channel. So basically nobody in the Southern Hemisphere is going to watch it.

Hmmmm... What time is kick off?
I'm sitting here in front of my computer waiting for the stream to start.
Kinda feel like that kid who arrives at the party but your early and no one else has arrived yet.
D'oh, just looked at it's a 9 am NZ time kick off which is 7 am here in Sydney. I am early, oh well I did record the Aus v Wales game on BeInSports so I might as well skim through that for the next 50 odd minutes.
Uhmm, just pretend I wasn't here okay.

ive got this feeling that too much has been made about the last time we played them and how tight it was ,
And we are going to put quite a few points on them
