    France v Fiji is off and it's likely the other Fiji games will be cancelled.
    Bit of a ****show.

    Really disappointing for Fiji. There was a big chance for them to compete in a big international tournament. Looks like it is ruined now.

    Not official as I type but French press conference called off and Wales Online reporting game is off.

    Little did we know last year that we had it so good, when a Typhoon was the cause of games getting called off....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,542 ✭✭✭dublinman1990


    Channel 4 just showed their promo for the Autumn Nations Cup before it came back to The Simpsons.

    It had Fiji's name included in it even though their games are likely to be cancelled.

    Georgia probably delighted to be facing Wales next after that scrum performance. One of the most embarrassing set piece displays i’ve ever seen. A few big names are gone from that Georgian pack now but they will munch that Welsh scrum if they don’t make some serious changes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,244 ✭✭✭✭Hurrache


    Pretty weird watching it on Amazon and they've a bunch of ads ads as if you're watching ITV or Channel 4.


  • Subscribers Posts: 41,855 ✭✭✭✭sydthebeat


    Can't get prime to work, error 9912

    Any ideas lads?

    I don't see anything about the match on amazon prime video.

    What's it titled? What should I search for?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,098 ✭✭✭UAEguy2020


    Same >;(


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,366 ✭✭✭yerrahbah


    Open to correction but I don't think the matches are available on Amazon outside of the UK


    https://www.amazon.co.uk/b/ref=s9_acss_bw_cg_HelpHub3_2d1_w?node=22172910031&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-1&pf_rd_r=X66GNR7F5W5XG3FVVZVK&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=250bdb3d-afbe-4916-9ac4-3099138cd251&pf_rd_i=17025352031


    I’m receiving a location error when attempting to watch.


    Autumn Nations Cup is available to customers based in the UK. UK customers travelling outside the UK will be able to access the stream if within the European Union. All other international locations are not supported. Prime Video doesn’t support streaming content through Virtual Private Network (VPN) or proxy connections. To watch Prime Video, you must disable these services on your device or try switching to another available connection.

    Italy looking decent so far


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,445 ✭✭✭WeleaseWoderick


    You can get onto Amazon support and tell them you are based in the UK and want your account changed over. Doesn't impact any other part of your Amazon account either but opens up all the live feeds.

  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    All Italy so far


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,641 ✭✭✭Dog Botherer


    Only 20 minutes in but i don’t think i’ve seen Scotland this rattled since we steamrollered them at the WC.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,149 ✭✭✭OldRio


    So no broadcaster in Ireland is showing this legally. FFS


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    Nothing really to add except my usual point of teams acting incredibly cynical when the attacking team has a penalty advantage does my head in.
    I’d fully support an instant yellow.



    Also, Oli Kebble is the head off Dutch from the first Karate Kid.

    Is this actually the case? That a ****ing shambles.

    Italy are well up for this

    You should have s huge banner on the main page, if not I guess it's because your account is Irish.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,149 ✭✭✭OldRio


    Found it on a dodgy stream on Premier Sport.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt

    Yeah I fell onto that fact when I googled why he wasn’t in the series.
    You can see the resemblance alright. Class character in the original

    Premier sports have the rights for Ireland.

    All matches and channels are on the autumn internationals website.

    Just got half price deal on Now TV - €17 for a Sky Sports Extra month pass, which includes Premier Sports.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,750 ✭✭✭degsie


    Didn't realise till now that amazon prime video are covering the games. Decent stream.

    And that is why I am here - so no way to watch? (to be fair it was the French Fiji game I was most interested in, cancelled of course).

    I find this very frustrating (again) and annoying that folks are forced to find illegal streams...


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,641 ✭✭✭Dog Botherer


    Genuinely don’t think i’ve watched a rugby match legally since the local irish pub closed 3 years ago.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,564 ✭✭✭RugbyLover123


    What Duncan Weir lacks in style with his hair he more then makes up for it with those boots

    If you have a dish then the Welsh games might be on S4C.

    There is a legal way to watch it here: Sky Sports Extra pass on NowTV.

    Until a single service can provide with everything I want to watch, I don't think I will. I had hopes for amazon

    It's on Premier sports
    Perhaps spend 10 seconds to google something than complaining.

    To be fair, it's getting more and more confusing about what broadcaster is covering what in different territories.

    I'd settle for most, but yes - I'm in the same boat. Haven't watched legally since I ditched my tv signal a few years back.

    Can't stand Amazon and won't use them. I really hope it's not Amazon (though I appreciate it would be great for a lot of people).

    Unfortunately, but rather topically, my stream has just died. What's the score?

    Would have taken less time to discover chat channel it was on then posting a reply here :pac:
    But yeah getting fairly ridiculous

    Amazon will own our bodies, souls, and the air our ashes is scattered into before too long. i’ll stick to piracy thanks.

    it’s 21-17 to Scotland


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,641 ✭✭✭Dog Botherer


    just finished 17-28, Scotland got the BP with 3 minutes left. final score really doesn’t reflect Italy’s first half dominance, if they had been more clinical it was theirs to lose.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,599 ✭✭✭ScrubsfanChris


    Apparently those who were watching the game on primevideo didn't get to see any post-match talk, stream ended after final whistle.

    Not a good start.

    Considering the squad England have out, Georgia aren't doing horribly so far.


  • Registered Users Posts: 380 ✭✭conor678


    England game isscrappy. Just got a second try there but the back play has been very poor. England have a very enviable pack.

    On a side note I really do feel Nidgel Owens has been on the decline as a ref. Very inconsistent decisions


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 8,140 ✭✭✭fitz


    Georgia's maul defence is awful.

    I really wish the commentators would shut the f*ck up when the ref/tmo are talking instead of prattling on with inane chat.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,564 ✭✭✭RugbyLover123


    Georgia been poorer then I expected so far. Bar 1 scrum penalty their set piece has been poor and I thought they were at least strong there.

    They seem petrified any time they are kicked to in their half and just want to get rid of the ball. No sign of an attacking structure.

    If England stopped kicking it needlessly they’d have another 1/2 tries.

    The challenge for Georgia is can they use these games to progress. Time together and more exposure to top level opposition could and should make them better.

    Unfortunately they look like they will lose this one by 50 or 60 points.
