Brisbane Global 10s

[Stargazer]

Full time: Rebels 19 - 5 Chiefs

[Bovidae]

You're aren't missing much. It looks like the breakdown will be a free-for-all based on the ref in the first game.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae Yes, it looked very messy. Mixture of inexperienced players, first outing of the year for most, the officiating and maybe the conditions, too. Nothing to do with the 10s format though.

[mariner4life]

This is like shit sevens. Good for a run in the legs and, given the heat, cooking blokes. Good for fuck all else. Tournament a one-and-done?

[Stargazer]

The weather conditions must be insane. The crowd is staying away from the seats in the sun and everyone who turned up is sitting in the shade. And the players are expected to perform in this heat?

[Bovidae]

@mariner4life I remember playing 10s as a schoolboy so was curious. I watched the Chiefs game and I'll check out the Blues game. But that will be it for the day.

All I hope is for no injuries. Weber went off in the first game.

IS it live on Sky? I can't seem to find it anywhere and channel 057 is unknown.

Sky has a pop-up channel for the event.

More info:
LIVE on Sport Pop-Up 57 from 2.30pm this Saturday

[Bovidae]

@nzzp Yes, Blues playing the Reds now. Perhaps you need to be a subscriber to the Rugby Channel as Ch 57 is listed as a Rugby pop-up channel on the graphic?

[taniwharugby]

BLues looking disorganised

I know - I read that and referred to it in my post. Channel 57 doesn't exist on my sky box though. Jumps from 056 to 060.

Is anyone getting it on 57? Maybe I need a reboot

[taniwharugby]

so Rangers was classed high, but Tongan Thors not?

OK, cheers

Anyone getting it who isn't a Rugby channel subscriber? I'm assuming not

'tis a bit weird as I usually see channels even if I can't access them. Will try rebooting and see what happens

[taniwharugby]

75m try for the BLues via Declan O'Donnel after Ranger has a simple draw and pass to set him free

[taniwharugby]

poor defence read by Ranger lets Reds score 80m try

Boom! Rebooted the box and now I'm watching .... great result

Yes, it's weird. During the last EOYT, the Sky Sports Pop-up channels were located before ESPN, and the Rugby Channel Pop-up after the Rugby Ch. Now the Rugby Channel Pop-up is before ESPN? Or just used the wrong graphic?

Would be absolute nonsense to require people to have a RC sub for this tournament. Sky trying to milk more money out of a one-off tournament? Yeah right.

[Stargazer]

@nzzp How do you reboot?

[taniwharugby]

BLues hit back again through Guyton, through lots of hands. Was an advantage for a high tackle while player was falling in there too.

Turned off, pulled out power cord, plugged back in, stared at red circle for a couple of minutes, scratched balls, watched TV
