@machpants I got us third. Still plenty of firepower in the team to sway those close matches. Crusaders are first by a long way with their depth and then itâs a lottery from there down IMO.

Why it's 'patently absurd' that the Blues aren't allowed to train a week out from Super Rugby Aotearoa
If the Blues cannot train together from Thursday in the region, it will throw a tight schedule into chaos. It doesnât have to happen, writes Campbell Burnes.
Rugbypass' stupidity shows again.
What a time to be alive!
You don't have to have even got 30% in School Cert science to masquerade as an expert epidemiologist on social media.
I, personally, express strident opinions on the selections and tactics of professional rugby teams based on my extensive experience as a Hurunui representative rugby player at the under-14 level!

Three Super Rugby AU matchups to look out for in round one
Super Rugby AU makes its return on Friday, starting with two interesting clashes. First up is the Reds vs Waratahs â that Queensland vs New South Wales rivalry which is always a great spectacle.

Fuck's sake. I turn on the telly to watch the rugby...
SANZAAR without UK broadcaster before Super Rugby AU
Rugby fans in the UK and Ireland wonât be able to watch the opening round of Super Rugby AU.

Yeah, I had a look this morning but didn't see anything ... then remembered it was only AU, so I remembered I don't give a shit!
Pretty tough for sky to sign up and hand over cash for something that didn't have any real plan for what it was!
Expect it to be inked by next week. All my pommy colleagues watch the friday and saturday morning super rugby, so the viewing numbers should be worth it.

@bones I currently work for 3 ....
But seriously, the sample size I have is around 20 people, but the overarching point is that its' hugely popular.
That last comment was tongue in cheek.

@majorrage well, fuck.
SANZAAR say no Super Rugby competition will be broadcast in the UK
Super Rugby AU nor Super Rugby Aotearoa will be shown on UK television
-
apparently its the same in the US, unless someone can correct me. was talking to someone and they were saying ESPN is still listed but theyre not showing any games on the schedule and when they talked to them they said effectively "dont hold your breath"
I wonder if people are just signing up to Stan and using a VPN?

Just a reminder for everyone.
You can find the current week's Super Rugby Aotearoa and Super Rugby AU fixtures in the dark blue box on the Ferns' home page (top right).
Team sheets, highlights, and squads lists with updated injury information, and previous SR and NPC results can be found in the teal coloured box.

Seems a bit shit that there will be no Super Rugby Aotearoa available at all in the UK across any of the channels (BBC, ITV, Channel 4, S4C, Channel 5, Sky Sports, BT, Amazon Prime) that cover Rugby.
The UK's still in fucking lockdown. Surely there must be a few punters out there wanting to see some more than decent footy on a Friday and Saturday morning?
-
As far I can tell Sky Sports in the UK (now owned by Comcast) aren't that interested. Other broadcasters though aren't going to give them free advertising by buying something called Sky Super Rugby Aotearoa.
Something of a disaster for NZR. All this talk about building a global brand and unlocking the supporter base and for the first time since the 1990s NZ Super Rugby games won't be broadcast live in the UK.
