Rugby watching in Amsterdam?

[Bones]

I went about ten years ago during 6 nations and there wee a few English/Irish bars open around that square thing showing rugby, obviously in the afternoon though

[Tim]

@nzzp Get rugbypass for a month.

[Rembrandt]

Been a few years but isn't there a rugby pub in the red light district?

Sounds legit anyway.

[pukunui]

I was there in 2013 and watched a Bledisloe in a pub. Sorry, can't remember the name. Im pretty sure someone on here told me where to go. Not sure if the search function on the forum goes back that far though.

[MajorRage]

There is an Aussie place which I think does.

I'm there quite often, will be in June I'm sure

[Bovidae]

Coco's Outback is the Aussie pub.

I've watched a few games in the past at the Globe sportsbar. It's been quite a few years though...

@stargazer thanks fella

@tim does rugbypass work over there? Their website seems to indicate that it's a south east asian thing.

[Tim]

@nzzp Use tunnelbear to appear to be in asia.

cheers,

Should ahve thought of that. Clearly need to raise my streaming game.

[Stargazer]

@tim I've never used tunnelbear. Do you need to download it? Does it use much memory and slow things down? That was one of the reasons why I un-installed Cyberghost.

[Tim]

@stargazer You can use their browser extension. It's a legit vpn.

rugbypass seems to have figured out that maybe I'm not really in Asia...
I suspect my experimenting with using different countries' VPNs tipped them off.
Anybody else got an email from them about "yeah, you've obviously been using VPNs and shit - we're cancelling your account in 3 days" ?
Trying to figure out if claiming that I've been travelling between Malaysia/Singapore/India extensively over the last few weeks (sometimes, in the hours between games) is going to work... or if I'm screwed.

[MajorRage]

Anything will work. They don’t want to lose the business. This is just them arse covering.

[Stargazer]

@kruse Do you have a credit card from a NZ bank (or at least a bank outside Asia)? I've considered using rugbypass with VPN, but wonder whether it will work if they notice that your bank is from NZ/Aus.

[Nepia]

I had rugbypass when travelling around Asia, set up account with an NZ credit card and watched in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand without any issue or them contacting me.

The only problem I had was that they tried to sting for a yearly account rather than a 3 monthly one so I had to argue with them a bit. I used it in OZ with a VPN for two weeks as well.

[nzzp]

@nepia good luck

Thanks all for the help. I wound to on a dodgy stream on fibre. It was HD quality. Amazing really, in the other side of the world

[Nepia]

@nzzp Hmmm, good luck for?

Sorry thought you were travelling with rugby pass and getting canned. Wrong person. Stupid phone, stupid user
