So only the Moana Pacific game televised? Streamed? Fucking amateurs running this comp
Comp hasn’t started.
Chiefs v MO was a charity game.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.

Yup, that's my point

- Still a spring chicken. Hope he has lost a bit of weight actually, he was putting on the pounds a few years back...

Correct. Never has been common. A crappy sideline stream on Facebook at most.

Never has been, can't remember. As I said they tend to not be a good promotion for the game , because they usually messy affairs.

Waratahs trial yesterday versus 3 of the lower lights in Sydney club Rugby (Two Blues, West Harbour, Hunter). Headed along with the Renegades Treasurer and President as a later minute decision on what the fuck to do on a Saturday.
There were no Wallabies on the field, but the Tahs still won every 30 minute period by 20ish points, conceding only one try. Lot of Clubbies and extended squad in tahs shirts, and they were reasonably impressive.
But the quality of the opposition was ... Well, poor. There's a reason these clubs prop up the bottom of the table. If the Two Blues props are getting match payments, they're spending most of it on Colonel.
CEO of NSW Rugby was there, and sat down for a chat with us. He sort of knows me by sight from a few functions as I'm on the board for Suburban Rugby. An interesting insight on a few players and the lay of the land numbers wise.
Nice stadium in terms of structure but the lines for beer were too long. Also: $7 for a can of Tooheys? Fucking hell... We need to up our prices.

New Zealand Rugby has scrapped plans to play Super Rugby night games in Invercargill, shifting the games to Dunedin’s Forsyth Barr Stadium. Friday and Saturday night games for the first three rounds of the competition were to be played at Rugby Park. However, after further conversations between the teams and NZR, it was agreed the facilities at Forysth Barr, including the roof, made it the team’s favoured option for night matches.@duluth said in Super Rugby 2022:

Late night for the teams involved though as a bus trip from Dunedin back to Queenstown would be a good three to three and a half hours with a good run.

I feel a bit bad for MP because they'll probably get savaged a bunch of times by the Kiwi sides before they get a chance to secure a win against the Drua or any Australian sides. The beatings will cause disarray and who knows what that does to the organisation. But then again, who cares?

@shark I think they'll just be happy to be there tbh, along with the Drua, which is the main thing at the end of they day. It's good to have a platform for the Pacific sides.

I am assuming that the second round of preseason games will still take place in Queenstown?
That would be:
Chiefs vs Blues
MP vs Highlanders
Hurricanes vs CrusadersThe latter two teams would then play each other in Rd 1 the following week.
