Watching live now using latest Google Chromecast. Smooth as a porn star's nethers
The picture was perfect for the first 50 odd minutes but it now keeps on dropping to a lower resolution. Teething problems are to be expected I suppose.
I had drop outs for the first 15 minutes (as did my mate on my other device) then it was perfect.
The picture was better than the game footage I watched earlier today and better than what Kayo served up.
Hopefully they sort all issues this weekend in time for the actual start next weekend.

Agreed. I think they must have been given SD footage then upscaled it.
Watching a game from 2014 the ball got a bit blurry when it started to move fast, but live last night no such issues -
Verblitz v Brave Lupus starting soon.
Hooper + Read in one back row and Leitch + Todd in the other, according to the blurb.
But I'm about to go to the pub, so will catch it later

This is one problem with the rugby being on Stan. Surely the days of catching a game at the pub are gone. I can't imagine pubs would have Stan.

I was thinking today about the licensing setup and how that works for venues.
The erosion of traditional pay TV promises to be interesting

its an interesting idea, i wonder what the deal is
during our lockdown i was talking to the owner of one of our local pubs, asked if he was showing the AFL whist i was waiting for takaway
he said foxtel charges hundreds a week to be able to show it in a pub and it was one of the first things they got rid of...like stupid money, if stan/9 are cleaver they'll look at that

It's hard to imagine Aussie pubs forking out for Stan for rugby unless it is dirt cheap. Different story if it was NRL or AFL obviously, but rugby just doesn't seem to have the pull over here. The screens with Super Rugby always seem to be the ones being ignored.

There's a bit more to it.
A deal fell through late last week.
Some dodginess going on by the sounds.
The majority of Super Rugby matches will not be aired in pubs and clubs around Australia after a deal between Stan Sport and Sky Channel was pulled on the eve of the first game of the season. Sources with knowledge of negotiations told the Herald the deal was scuppered at the 11th hour after a Tabcorp senior executive learnt Sky Channel had reached an agreement without the consent of its parent company, Tabcorp. Equally, Tabcorp officials were concerned that Racing NSW chief executive Peter V’landys, a key partner of the wagering giant, had not been consulted prior to the deal being brokered. Industry sources say V’landys, who is also the chairman of the Australian Rugby League Commission, had not vetoed the deal. However, they say he was unhappy about Sky Channel’s agreement with Stan Sport as he believed it would have a negative impact on wagering. -

Further down that article:
The news comes just a week after V’landys complained to Nine Entertainment Co, the owner of Stan and the publisher of this masthead, about the lack of promotion for the upcoming NRL season in comparison to the rebranded Super Rugby competition, which started on Friday night. V’landys did not want to comment when contacted on Friday night.

@crazy-horse When I was in Adelaide last year during the initial Super Rugby season, they didn't even show many games on Fox Sports.

I have foxtel and they were all broadcast, must just be the choice of the pub what they show

We have a pub as our major partner and they barely show any rugby at all unless you ask and there aren't 3 games each of AFL + Loig + Cricket + Horses + Dogs on

@nta definately, before i got foxtel i had a tame pub that would put the super rugby on the screen at the back for me, only ywo small table could see the screen so was perfect for me and the odd person that wold come in
now im ditching foxtel i'll try and do the same (new local) for things like cricket or potentially the ABs in europe?

In the case of one particular match, Fox wasn't broadcasting it in South Australia. I checked their website at the time.

I mean, they would have loved to, but only 5 channels and 300 games of AFL....

so only one match had some sort of clash? which would be understandable given the weird time of year etc, or does foxtel have different schedules in different states?
