@Stargazer bugger, doesn't seem to like me coming in from UK - just get "There was an error playing this video". Now I have to do work instead....

[Stargazer]

@Bones Did you try both links?

I don't understand why they're geoblocking preseason games; no broadcaster is losing money as it's not televised.

[KiwiMurph]

Looks like there are some quickly uploaded highlights for each score on Tahs Twitter (not sure if geocoded)

[Stargazer]

This ref has no feel for the nature of the game. Second yellow in a preseason game; this time Tomkinson for coming in from the side.

Pretty messy half, highlanders up 14-7 with 2 x YC, scrums were messy AF...pre-season joy.

2nd stream good quality on phone.

[Bones]

@Stargazer yep - might just be a Bones issue, nevermind.

Angus Bell for the Tahs is going pretty well. Good runner of the ball and seems to be pretty busy.

He's got serious hype on him.

@KiwiMurph LOL you gotta love the enthusiasm of Waratahs supporters (esp their press), one OK pre-season 'game' and they're world beaters.

(hyperbole of this post added to align with Tahs fans)

[Bovidae]

The Tahs have a good test first up - Crusaders in Nelson.

[Stargazer]

According to the Sky tv guide, the preseason game between the Crusaders and Hurricanes this afternoon will be LIVE on Sky Sport 1 (from 3.45pm)!

[Daffy Jaffy]

@Stargazer After reading your discovery I searched forward to next Friday on Sky hoping the Blues v Canes game might be televised. Instead I found that the Highlanders v Crusaders is live 6pm next Friday. Two lots of preseason intel on The Crusaders delivered to the door for the other teams!

[Stargazer]

The Jaguares are destroying Georgia XV (without its first stringers) at the moment. Just discovered the livestream: https://www.espn.com.ar/rugby/nota/_/id/6518325/si-estas-afuera-de-latinoamerica-mira-aca-el-streaming-de-jaguares-georgia-xv?

Edited to add that the Jaguares' outfit is worth a deduction of at least 100 points. Awful.

[Stargazer]

Half time: Crusaders 28 - 12 Hurricanes

[Stargazer]

Full time: Crusaders 40 - 19 Hurricanes

Scorers:
Crusaders - Braydon Ennor, Dallas McLeod, Tom Sanders, George Bower, Fasi Fuatai, Sione Havili tries; Brett Cameron 4, Fergus Burke con
Hurricanes - Du’Plessis Kiri, Vince Aso, Kobus Van Wyk tries; Jackson Garden-Bachop, Fletcher Smith con

[Stargazer]

I think Jason Holland will agree with this. Both squads saw players leave the field with injuries.
