    Anyway fellas off to Brisbane for a couple of weeks today, so will have to make sure I in rugby watching bars or houses at right time won't I???
    Oh the problems for a rugby man!!!!

    Good luck finding rugby in a bar. It was bad enough before, but since rugby went to Stan, a bar that will show the rugby is a very rare find. Doubly so once the NRL season starts.

    fuck is it what! i don't think there is a single bar in Cairns that has it. Apparently the Stan commercial license is pretty expensive?

    I have have never seen it in a pub. I am reduced to watching on my phone.

    Can't you cast it from your phone to a tv, for example with chromecast?

      Yes. In addition there are Stan apps on both Smart TVs and on Telstra TV/Roku etc for non-Smart TVs. Can't exactly do that in a pub though.

                @mariner4life No, of course, I didn't. Maybe he didn't have chromecast, or a smart tv etc.

                          also checked channel 9....looks like they are only showing the Dura v Tahs game on sat...another things they could have negotiated better to raise the game would be more games free to air from the super round

                              According to Oval Insights, the average ball in play for Round 1 was 1:54 longer than that of the 2022 season. The mean for 2023 was 31.21 compared to 29.27 last year.
                              
                              The Crusaders-Chiefs game topped the Round 1 fixtures with a ball-in-play time of 38.15, while the Waratahs-Brumbies contest in Sydney was at the other end of the scale at 26.29. Still, that figure on Friday night in Sydney was a whopping 4:32 improvement on the lowest game from Round 1 in 2022.

                                I agree with John Kirwan, BOK was the player of the weekend, 38 minutes of ball in play must be close to some sort of record, it clearly resulted in a fantastic game of footy.

                                  According to Oval Insights, the average ball in play for Round 1 was 1:54 longer than that of the 2022 season. The mean for 2023 was 31.21 compared to 29.27 last year.
                                  
                                  The Crusaders-Chiefs game topped the Round 1 fixtures with a ball-in-play time of 38.15, while the Waratahs-Brumbies contest in Sydney was at the other end of the scale at 26.29. Still, that figure on Friday night in Sydney was a whopping 4:32 improvement on the lowest game from Round 1 in 2022.

                                  That highlights we still aren't getting consistency from the referees. Nic Berry's understanding of urgency is clearly vastly different from BOK's. I know which one I prefer.

                                  Even worse was Gardner stopping the game for 114 seconds so a prop could change one shoe for a lineout. What a fucking farce.

                                    The Oz games were notably slower and, as you say, reffed at different urgency. Those stats back that up.
                                    12 minutes difference between the Saders/Chiefs game and Brumbies/Waratahs. Did someone not get the memo?

                                      I haven't read the article.....but shouldn't the length of time a game takes also be tracked? Shirley that's another metric that should be considered in the overall picture.

                                        I am pretty sure that is a big factor in these current rules.

                                        Over-run games hurt TV schedules which piss of the broadcasters

                                          I wonder if they factor in when time extends past the 40 minutes. Some half's have almost gone 50 minutes which would increase the ball in play and length of game.
