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 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.
@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.

@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)

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)!
@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!

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.

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

Injuries from yesterday's preseason game:
The Crusaders lost openside flanker Billy Harmon to a minor knee knock in the first half, while halfback Mitchell Drummond was taken off early in the second half as a precaution after a head knock. Hurricanes wing Jonah Lowe left the field with a left shoulder issue, the same injury he suffered last season, which worried coach Jason Holland. "I'm really hoping that's not as bad as it looks because Jonah is coming back from a shoulder injury and he's worked really hard this pre-season and is in great nick. "I'm a little bit worried about him, but we'll see how he comes up.".
