Stan Sports won't be covering this event, just heard back from them. Not sure how we will watch this in oz.

Stan Sports are covering it.

Yeah, glad they finally came to the party although they are only covering some matches.

The other games which are available on YouTube are geo blocked in Australia for whatever reason, but a VPN gets around this.

Big win for the Argies

Just looked at the stats on Rugbypass and Italy received a red card in the 14th minute. That probably doesn't tell the whole story, but still quite significant.

Yeah, watched the highlights

Deserved red but huge impact on match

[Stargazer]

All round 1 highlights:

Cracking first round of matches

Just watched that Fiji v Oz game, thought the Fijian forwards really fronted up. Aussies have some genuine pace in their back 3.

Thought the Japanese ref was good but thought a few times he was quick to blow the whistle at the breakdown, not really allowing a contest as such.

Some awful decision making from the Aussies. Turning down points in front on a wet day. Stupid.

Ref made some interesting decisions

[MiketheSnow]

Wales were really under the pump against Japan until the Japanese 12 had a brain explosion and got YC with review that turned to a deserved RC

Japan a man down

Wales 15-19 Japan

Have watched back a bit more and Ireland were lucky not to see more cards.

Officials from that game ruling themselves out of finals selection

Wow the Italian pack is beating up the SA pack big time. Not too dissimilar to what the French did to us.
