Someone I know has been in contact with the NZRU , and they are currently in contact with foxtel Australia ,
there is the chance foxtel may cough up and secure the games
That would be preferable ... please!

For some, this may offer a solution:
Legend.
Foxtel says 6am kickoff. But not sure if that's Sydney or Brisbane time.
Sorry dude? What do you mean by "Foxtel says 6am"? i.e., In what context? Have they announced they have it and are going to show it ? Or did they just mention the kick off time somewhere.
FYI - I got a tweet back from foxtel this morning saying they didn't have the rights. And an email back from the same bloke that answered dK (I think) - Charlie from BeIN Sports as follows:
Thanks for your email.
Unfortunately at this stage, we only have the game for Wales v Wallabies confirmed to be shown live at 1:30 AM, on this coming Sunday morning. (Saturday Night)

Please stay tuned for future updates.Kind Regards,

I'm hanging my hat on the "at this stage"...
They have the game listed as a fixture on their website with a match centre and all that crap. But it appears they won't actually be showing the damn thing.
You have confirmed they're showing the match in Ireland right? Don't really care about the Italy match would like to see the France one.

Odds on that it will be PT and Scott Barrett starting with Luatua or Fifita on the bench.

Sherlock Holmes would be proud of your powers of deduction...

TBH barrett tuipolotou is more balanced than Romano tuipolotou imho.
-
Squire will probably miss out unless they go for a 6/2 bench.

-
If Ardie Savea is on the bench we've got backup 7 and 12 sorted...

Have to be Luatua over Fifita as he was in the original squad.

If they all have to be 6"2 would Ardie be too tall?

@Billy-Tell said in Ireland v NZ - Chicago Showdown:
I never like 6/2.
Too risky.
With Ardie Savea on the bench I can handle it. It's not a full time arrangement - but he can float around on the wing if required.
The downsides of being caught short in the forwards outweigh the risk of putting the fitter of the two Savea's on the wing.
Peranara and who on the bench though? Mackenzie positionally makes the most sense?
-
Dixon is used a lot in the lineout for the Highlanders.

Yeah but Fifita is a lock/6 to Luatua's 6/lock.

@Crucial
Fuckin shelled out for a month of BT Sport - they're also showing the Maoris v USA
But fed up with fuckin broadcasters holding the sporting fans to ransom. We subscribe to Sky, and was mightily pissed off to find they;re not showing any apart from the Dublin game
Fuck - the No 1 team in the world should be shown and broadcast widely, no matter what sport it is -

With his extra height (@Canes4life™) he should be good to cover lock as well.

Cruden. Barrett covers fullback.
I'd prefer 10. Cruden 15. Barrett waaay more than 10. Barrett 15. DMac
If we're worried about midfield cover than Naholo to start at 11 and cover 13.

Is he? I thought the Canes played him ag lick cause they had plenty other looseforward options
