I must I am very impressed with Stan’s rugby options. The back catalogue of content is great, can’t really recall an error or problem with the steaming function or the app itself.

Yeah, I think I've had maybe two errors, contrast that with Kayo which is freaking terrible. I don't think I've watched a Warriors match that hasn't dropped down to 480p at some time, glitched, bounced back a few seconds etc.

What's all this about then?
(livestream on Stuff starts at 5.45am, kickoff at 7.15am)
... this looks like actual coverage of the game, but... how have I not heard about this before? Is it just because I'm a hermit, or... am I misinterpreting this?
Edit:
A dedicated multimedia hub located on Stuff features 12 streamed games, including live coverage of the opening match between the All Blacks and France, two quarterfinals, a semifinal and the RWC final, ...
... and all the AB pool matches delayed.
But - they seem to be keeping it remarkably quiet - presumably as part of the deal with Sky.@Kruse said in Rugby World Cup general discussion:

Games will indeed be livestreamed on the Stuff website, in addition to their live blogs.

And Foxtel want you to be grateful to the point of you licking Uncle Rupert's wrinkly old taint.

Even Fozzie's flops should be able to escape this pool, surely?
I don’t see Namibia or Uruguay causing the ABs many problems, but if they play as poorly against Italy as they have done in the last two games then they could plummet out of the tournament at the end of pool play.

Some Definitions inspired by RWC 2023....
Roigard - a spectacular try made by a replacement coming on when the result is beyond question. "He came on and did a Roigard. (not to be confused with a Perenara where a player comes on and imitates a seagull)
Jerome - a crucial turnover when the opposition are camped on your try-line. Poss. named after mythical forward of immense power and possessed of an outstanding chin. "When the opposition are that close to the line you need a Jerome”
Barratt. A three-sided instrument used by NZ coaches when selecting team positions "We weren't too sure who to select at 15 so we used a Barratt”
Sexton (n). Irish vernacular for hemorrhoids. (v) to hold one’s head and roll on the ground to try and get a penalty.
Eddie (v) To claim the credit for winning by coming on a replacement when all the hard work had been done and then buggering off when times get hard. "England were crap until Eddie happened and when he made them more crap, he buggered off"
Eddie (n) a term used in the RFU and by many England supporters to describe a bowel movement. "I feel better after dumping that Eddie "
SBW (n) A commentator - normally an ex-player who talks complete garbage. "There's SBW on TV now talking crap"
DMac (n) A half sized Big Mac
Villi (n) A Rugby tradition where this word is added to the end of every Georgian rugby player's name by commentators. E.g. Smithvilli
Farrell (n). A medical condition causing a player great difficulty in lowering his shoulder when tackling. "The player's concussion was caused by Farrell."
Bridge (n). An attacking tactic used by a winger which avoids any attempt to evade the tackler.
Foley (n) To go into a trance like state where time stands still when taking a kick.
Chip Kick (n) A tactic used by AB teams to put artificial pressure on themselves to learn to cope with pressure in bigger games. Often used inadvertently in bigger games.

@sparky be the perfect way Fozzie to end his coaching stint , losing to Italy and the All Blacks not even getting out of the pool stages , on saying that I suspect they the Blacks should go through but the misery will end in the quarterfinals that I’m 95%-100% sure of.
Glad to be proved wrong , but I suspect it’s what a lot supporters are thinking. -

I’ve had technical issues leading up to the games so have missed the anthems. What’s wrong with them ?

Sounds like a children's choir singing them and adding harmonies and rounds. Fucking awful.

It’s a children choir. Which is not so bad. But they sing a Capella. So you get “allons les enfants…” then the second wave kicks in with “allons les enfants…” and you get out of sync and overlapping and bewildered players and spectators. Just kills the anthems.
