RugbyPass streaming

@majorrage Sky Q is pretty awesome but yeah apart from the odd series on Atlantic or One then there's not a huge amount of Sky content that I'd miss. I'm pretty pissed they don't have the rugby and I don't understand why they pretty much haven't had any cricket with NZ since the world cup.
@Billy-Tell @Kiwiwomble helps if I can reading skilz eh!

I was using it for about 2 years but their geo-blocking got much better and finally I wasn't able to get around it using Nord or Express or other VPN services. It sucks that they didn't pick it up here as I don't think any other service has it (certainly not J-sports, which used to).
any idea what wowow is?

Good on you, they have never had rugby (IIRC), I didn't even think of them!
Looks like it'll be about $25 a month too, so I'll give it a go.

To me this seems a colossal fuck up by the RA. Will UK punters be willing to cough up more for super rugby AU after shelling out for Super Rugby NZ?

Chromecast isn't working on this (just checked faqs) so it is really only through shit stuff like linking up a laptop.
I'm not one for watching rugby on small screens, it just sucks.
Bummer, I was wavering but that probably confirms I am out and I really wanted to watch this year.
If you are going to take these rights at least make it possible to view them properly!

You should be able to chromecast the tab playing the game on a Chrome browser. Settings/Cast/Tab (assume you are using Chrome here...)

The whole Live game thing is fucked up - the need for multiple accounts and platforms is getting bloody ridiculous.
It's either ego or incompetence - probbly both.

You can Chromecast rugby pass, I did it for 2 years when I didn't have sky. Set VPN to Outer Mongolia (week some small Asian country)and then have every single top pro rugby game on the planet available live, and on demand going back a year. Such a good deal, but I don't have enough time to watch that much rugby!

Looks like it’s through liverugby.net which is where RugbyPass redirects to. I’ll try it out tomorrow morning for sure.

I can't even login to the app on my phone, it tells me the account doesn't exist! I've got an email saying my account has been blocked, yet login via the web browser fine and the payment has come outta my account....
Not looking good.
Works grand for me on liverugby.net. Don’t think you need to go via RugbyPass at all, although I’m hoping they will end up linking into their app.

Hmmm... them putting all the Super Rugby content on liverugby.net - is a bit of a prick.
It seems liverugby has much smarter geoblocking (looks like it's in AWS? They might have a better list of VPN proxies to block, maybe?).
I can still login to rugbypass, and look at Six Nations and whatever... but no Super Rugby for me, from any VPN location I've tried thus far. -

Back in NZ now, covid-forced repatriation. Long story, should probably do a big whinge in one of the appropriate threads some time.
But this evening, after a day of riding over the Rimutakas, lunch at Lake Ferry, ride back over the Hill - some beers and barmaids flirting - back home, and liverugby still being too geo-smart for me... I go searching for a dodgy website, and find one immediately (and cast-able). Can't complain. -

But sky is pretty damn expensive from memory. I personally think paid streaming will be the future rather than traditional broadcasters.

Yeah - I was happy with pseudo-legal means, giving some money to the source, but avoiding the massive media-monopolies... especially when I thought RugbyPass was some sort of independent entity bringing rugby to the masses, and deserving of my money.
I think I read somewhere in this thread, they're actually owned by Sky, or have been bought by them? In which case - I might re-consider. -
Signed up for a season of RugbyPass here in UK. Its the only option. Seriously Sky UK (BskyB) are absolute s@@@heads and are currently not showing any rugby, domestic or otherwise. Am going to cancel my sports package with Sky UK in protest though. Why should I pay for a non-existent product and subsidise other soccer channels for the masses when I don't want to watch soccer. I want to watch rugby. Let the soccer fools pay for their own channels.
Its absolute b@llucks when the rugby population here is starved of a product.
I;m very happy with RugbyPass, they take the entire feed from NZ and easily streamed and accessed via TV. Worth the season layout.
