Super Rugby 2020

Given everyone is strapped for cash I’m not surprised Fox Sports aren’t forking out for this NZ comp.

I like the golden point rule. Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing

Golden point comes accoss to me as administrators so scared people might think their sport is too shit to handle a draw, or their fans too dumb. One or the other.

With cricket and soccer among the top sports followed in this country, I really don't think this is a problem that needs solving.

I’m keen for that! I wonder if you’ll get ‘at seat’ beer service?

Agree with the sentiment and they really fucked it up last time they tried a new rule to fix a draw in ODIs.

I emailed Kayo (Fox) to ask if they're playing Aotearoa Super Rugby and they replied they don't have it.

I hope it's just a rights negotiation thing ...

Have you checked Rugbypass?

Good call.

I found this

All matches will be streamed live on RugbyPass.

@KiwiMurph If they have the rights in Oz I'll definitely use them, but they haven't got back to me so far to say if they have them.

If they don't, I shall just um, VPN, from, my um sister (mods feel free to delete if this could get the Fern in tutae). I'd rather not go down that route though.

Sky own rugby pass, so unless they sell the rights, they have them!

I am a techno retard so apologies if this is a stupid question, but can you Chromecast Rugbypass? I'd hate to be stuck watchung the rugby on a small screen if I was forced to get Rugbypass.

Yup, built into the app. Or just straight from your Chrome browser

I'm looking forward to the answer. I'll be beyond irritated if it's not available for viewing on the West Island.

Me too, it also means I wont be watching the Warriors ... but that's likely a net positive.
