We will see how the stream/coverage of the Japan-Russia game goes first. I'm just as concerned about the SS commentary. I only watched the 1st half of the Japan-SA test live as a test run but after that, I have not missed Stevenson at all. I assume SS will be using international commentators for the other games.

@Bovidae although this one is live anyway, so maybe people will watch TV1 meaning there will be less load on Spark than is likely tomorrow....

It's a very bad omen for the Spark's service when you visit the Spark Sport website when no games are on to explore signing up.... and you just get met with a blank black screen in your browser...
So far I have no regrets in not signing up.
New pub opening up in Matamata next week which will be showing the games which will be enough for me.

That sounds expensive, I would double my entire RWC subscription cost in one mild night at the pub watching the rugby (4 pints and a plate of something).
Although, I of course will be doing a bit of both anyway ....

I have the app on a Sony OLED with an Android OS and also an Apple TV 4K. The Sony’s app is practically unwatchable, the Apple TV One is alright. If they say it’s 1080p well OK but it’s not as good a picture as Sky’s 1080i.

That was my impression too watching the Japan-SA game on an ATV. We can compare with TV1 picture quality.

Mate hass just said TV news is reporting Spark customers in some areas (Whitianga, Havelock North, etc) being asked to upgrade their internet package or watch elsewhere after purchasing the RWC package. What's the goss?

Mmm I have a Sony LED 4K TV, that doesn’t sound promising. Will find out tonight...
