TV3 player cuts out again. Bye bye Rugby World Cup.

It's awful. I was using it to watch the Japanese game and it kept stopping, the app had to be closed every time. When it stopped I'd try another device while it reloaded on the other. Same crap.

Dragged the laptop out and even then it wouldn't open most of the time. A shambles.

Should check out Reddit for alternatives on the rugby forum, without getting into specifics. Some good quality out there.

The ads aren't HD either right?

The Specsavers "wiggle wiggle wiggle" one certainly isn't.

Big Mal is a gent and a top bloke but he's putting me to sleep.

Jenno been the only interesting pundit so far.

Keith wood is too nice IMO.

Mal used to be less serious.

I find Jennings to be quite dull, also O'Kelly. I'm not looking for nonsense like Hook used to go on with but a bit of entertainment would be nice.

I thought it was Malcolm O'Kelly but I wasn't really looking at them, just listening

If you were only listening how did you know he was very tall:D:D

His voice sounded like it was far away?

I watched the France v Italy game on TV3 last night and I won't watch another game on it. Useless and the picture quality was woeful. TV3 skimping on HD for Saorview hopefully bites them as most people with only Saorview surely have FTA satellite too.

You'd think RTE would have had this, ya know seeing as they get free money off everyone in the country.

TV3 had a massive debt written off by the tax payer so they got free money too but let's ignore that for some RTE bashing.

Its all too fake. It looks fake it sounds fake. I miss Tom,Brent,George and Conor.

I used to think it was hard to watch Sky but this is like something you would see in America.

Absolute disaster, keeps freezing and I have to refresh which means have to sit through that fecking Guinness add for South African lad who used be in a gang a million fecking times..

TV3 is awful. I'm watching it on ITV and skipping the studio stuff completely.

Geordan Murphy is the Michael Owen of Rugby Co-commentatoring...
So monotone it is painful

As a musician, the vocals in the "World in Union" clips they're using in ITV have been setting my teeth on edge. Painfully awful. Still, the ITV coverage has been marginally better than TV3. Really missing RTE tbh...

"Ok Matt what did you think of that game?"

"Very good performance but I felt.."

"Great thanks Matt now we'll go for a break"

The all blacks had barely stood up straight from the Haka and they had cut to a break.

ITV did the same to be fair (ridiculous though)

I was flicking between the Rugby and football on saorview and the difference in the picture is just shocking.

Ads came on so switched back to RTÉ. After about 5 mins I switched back and ads are still on. is this the same ad break or another one, and I just happened to miss the 3 seconds of analysis?!?
