Super Rugby 2021

Never understood changing the logo but not the name. surely would make more sense to do the reverse and change it the Knights or something similar. I think the U20 still is the Knights.

For a second there I was like FFS. Then I saw “French Speaking Switzerland”. No idea how you geoblock German and Italian speaking switzerland.

Maybe they have a box to tick. Do you speak French, you’re alright so. Do you speak German or Italian, f*ck off you spaghetti eating krauts.

Nb: LOL - West Bank and the Gaza Strip

Never used RugbyPass before so hopefully one of you guys can help. Do you have to watch the matches live or they saved on the site to watch later?

either or.

People pay for Eir?!

Purely to watch the Pro 14. Don't think I've ever watched anything else on it. How do you watch Leinster's sorry, I mean Munster's matches?

I get Eir Sport free with Eir broadband.

I couldn't imagine paying a seperate sub. There is **** all on the channel.

The Blues team to play the Hurricanes is:

15 Stephen Perofeta, 14 Mark Telea, 13 Rieko Ioane, 12 Harry Plummer, 11 Caleb Clarke, 10 Otere Black, 9 Sam Nock; 8 Hoskins Sotutu, 7 Dalton Papalii, 6 Akira Ioane, 5 Gerard Cowley-Tuioti, 4 Patrick Tuipulotu (C), 3 Nepo Laulala, 2 Kurt Eklund, 1 James Lay.

Reserves: 16 Luteru Tolai, 17 Karl Tu’inukuafe, 18 Ofa Tuungafasi, 19 Josh Goodhue, 20 Tom Robinson, 21 Adrian Choat, 22 Jonathan Ruru, 23 Tanielu Tele’a.

Blues solving the problem of having 3 relatively good 10s with no frontrunner by picking all 3.

Canes look weak in the halves and second row but otherwise not too bad. Will be interesting to see if Julian can justify his position.

Tough to pick as canes are at home but I will say Blues by 10.

Been looking at the RugbyPass sign up page and it seems that the only way for the moment to view on a TV is the old laptop & HDMI cable solution?. It seems this is on a separate platform to the main RugbyPass and there’s no Chromecast support or app. Kinda lessens the appeal considerably (and the €40 for NZ derbies only is already a hard sell).

There’s an app for Apple TV and you can also AirPlay. If you’re on android then that’ll learn you.

23 games for €40 is less than €2 a game. Hardly exhorbitant pricing imo.

I am on Apple! Airplay would work the treat. However are you sure there’s a specific app for this? My understanding from what is stated on the page I linked to is that this is completely separate from the existing RugbyPass app.

I’ll have to see. Effectively RugbyPass redirects to liverugby.net not sure how that works. I’ll probably try running through phone and AirPlay to tv.

Some of the super rugby variations this season are all class. I’m loving the “crowd”. Basically you let a group of people (called spectators) into the ground. They cheer and generally provide what’s called “atmosphere”. Hopefully it’s tried up north.
