Rugby on Stan

Major drawback is lack of FF and rewind.

Yeah the ability to skip X seconds back or forth is OK on replay with the appropriate frame cached, but doesn't work live.

Probably a tradeoff in the backend somewhere.

Anyone having trouble casting Stan sport this weekend? Trying to watch the Chiefs/Highlanders game and the picture and sound jumps after a few moments. It's like there is a micro pause every split second. Very annoying. Also doing it during one of the Aussie games.

Got the same result casting from a different device. Normal Stan is not jumping around, nor is Netflix. And it doesn't jump if I watch the coverage on the device rather than casting.

You will all be relieved to hear the build up to the Crusaders game is working ok for me.

Seems to be working ok

@crazy-horse I had the same issue with the Chiefs v Highlanders game too but I watched it on replay. It wasn't throughout the whole game though, just on a few occasions.

@akan004 glad I am not the only one. I was trying to watch a replay too.

I eventually got the new Chromecast ("With GoogleTV") and it fixed a few of those issues I was having historically (not with Stan).

The older Chromecasts were alright for stuff at 720p but having to have the device stream then buffer then stream to a chromecast without a lot of grunt wasn't ideal when going up to HD.

I'm not sure if this is a good move, or bad. Certainly brings a new dynamic compared to the mostly establishment journos on there.

I’m staying in the bay with the other half’s folks and they have sky. Bandwagon here I come

Latest BB game has the camera just on him. It’s a bit weird.

Turned on sound and it appears the game was suspended because of thunderstorms. So they’re showing what was played but have the camera only on BB. He definitely does cover some ground during a game.

Haven't been a fan of his over the years, but I have to say I quite like Cheika on the panel. His passion for the game is there to see. I am starting to change my mind on him.

I have many horror stories about Cheika as a coach. But as a less-personally-engaged analyst, I agree he adds value.

I had to laugh when Cheika said at half time

"the penalties generally go with which team has momentum in the game".

A man known for his calm take on refereeing decisions!
