Some early struggles at setpiece for MP.

Kepu getting monstered at scrum time.

Not surprised. He struggled at scrum time for Counties.

Struggling to get onside too. That was pretty awful

[Dice]

Looked like Coombes-Fabling knocked it on.

This is not looking like an advertisement for adding more teams to SR.

[Yeetyaah]

@antipodean nah it's just coz the chiefs are too good.

@daffy-jaffy First game of the season and first jersey clash of the season! Many, or at least I, would have a bit of difficulty telling them apart after a few beers.

Yep, usually bugger all preseason games televised or streamed, they are not generally worth watching.

[BerhamporeNinja]

Comp hasn’t started.
Chiefs v MO was a charity game.

Apparently James O'Connor, Brad Thorn and Jordan Petaia have tested positive for Covid

Yeah I realise this, but they could at least stream all the warm up games. FFS no one can go and watch them. It is just part of the lack of brains that NZR et al have. Anything to build engagement is good. But no, we get nothing

@machpants IIRC, all the preseason games have been moved at least once, except for last night's MP vs Chiefs game, so televising them has had added complications.

I imagine that's up to the individual franchises to organise. Most franchises aren't particularly good at catering to their fans, unfortunately.
