Ireland v NZ - Chicago Showdown & Dublin Duel
-
@Billy-Tell ah, there we go, it's November tour time, and right on cue we get our first haka troll. This one's a fairly poor effort though, it reads like a parody. If by halfway through you've already got the haka; BOD-gate; preferential treatment; and poaching, you've gone off early. Add in a quick "amateurs against professionals" quip, and you've pretty much got a bingo.
Look son, you're obviously new at this, a good troll comes with subtlety, and hiding it among more honest opinions. This is like using a shotgun, doesn't have the same impact. 3/10, good for a laugh though

@Billy-Tell said in Ireland v NZ - Chicago Showdown:
Didn't take long. Not even an English newspaper.
Haka: Tradition must be abused, or at least ignored
‘Why should a side coming to Ireland get the first applause by doing a dance’
Next year I'm going to do a NH bingo game with a prize of a couple Denis Lalane books for the first one to get
a haka troll
mention of BOD nearly dying
A manatee thrashwank about the refs favouring the abs
Three mentions of the aura
An accusation of arrogance
Two mentions of poaching
A mention of "south seas islanders" the only time I ever see this term is when a nh writer/troll is making a cock of himself.
A diatribe about a transgression from the abs that went unpunished
A fuckwitted tweet from Brian Moore.There's a couple more spaces to fill if anyone has any ideas?

with us winning 18 in a row , not so sure will get a - no longer have an aura - story this time, that is what would normally come next

Ireland playing with a lot of passion and heart ?
Mentioning the glorious victory Munster had in 78 ?
Stephen Jones being the kind of fuckwit Moore could only dream about ? I'm picking the Walrus will sink his tusks in on their behalf and using skilful journalistic wit turn everything back to the Poms and their magnificent massive forwards and orgasmic ten man gameplan that these All Blacks and their ridiculous basketball rugby ( I think the Walrus can single handedly lay claim to that term, when he's lying on his death bed bitterly whinging about all the tries scored in the modern game he can turn to the gibbering coot next to him and say he came up with that ) couldn't hope to emulate and how these victories don't mean a thing and they're lucky Eddie Jones and his men don't have a chance to crush them until 2018.Oh, and him specifically mentioning Island Bay as the latest All Black poaching ground cos they got the Saveas from there.

I don't see any lineout issues for us on our own ball, Romano at 2 is safe, Tui or Read can easiliy will ball at 4 or 6 with Franks & Kaino lifting. Add to that all our backup loosies are lineout options - Luatua, Dixon, Squire.
And Ardie. How tall is he?
He's gone back to being a "project" player till he puts on 5kg of shoulders & 3 inches of hair

These fucking fluffybunnies. For the last few years the best AB games have been on Setanta and i have missed them. This year we get Setanta/beIN, it shows a fuck load of rugby, but the big AB games are missing. You fucking piston wristed gibbons. Put the fucking rugby on you bastards.
One possible ray of hope is that the broadcasting of the tour always seems to be finalised very late.
None of the wobbly games are on FTA.

The part im confused about ,
Do they have the right to show it and they are electing not to ?
Or they cant show it because they are not allowed ?
Here is their email address anyway , maybe if they get enough emails they might show it ,
email sent

Ireland u20's victory
Ireland Woman's victory -
I assume the Bein TV guide is Sydney time (not Qld ... ) so 9am NZ kick off (according to AllBlacks.com) = 7am Seednee.
It appears we have:
Napoli v Lazio in Serie A
Las Palmas v Eibar in La Liga
Flamengo v Botafogo in BrasileiraoI understand their primary audience is likely to be catered for in the above but am not sure either of the 2nd or 3rd games would be expected to rate highly.
The above three games are followed by half hour magazine programs:
Bundesliga Special - The Best of October
La Liga World
FootbrazilThen more Bundesliga: Bayern v Hoffenhein
EFl (not EPL): Burton v Barnsley
and more Brazil - Sao Paolo v CorinthansIt's definitely a soccer channel - fair enough - but it would be good if they could make it available somewhere/somehow.
Where's that email address??

Bein support responded within 20 minutes, which is pretty good, unfortunately not with good news
*Thanks for your email.
Unfortunately, we can't confirm the rights for the All Blacks Northern Tour for November.
I'll advise you to contact Foxtel directly for more information about these games.
For more scheduling information, please visit our TV Guide.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Charlie*

Thanks dK - found it on their website. Sent very polite email.
At least they have an email.
I think you've got to tweet or facebook Foxtel ...
But hey - worth a crack

Impossible booboo
All the coaches and pundits whinging and shrieking has produced a ratings explosion so surely there's money to be made in televising rugby.
We've been assured the incessant bleating this year is all about ratings yet there's still no coverage. What gives?
-
OK have politely tweeted @Foxtel and @Foxtel_Help. I feel so millennial ... I even used a hashtag (#NZLvIRE).
I have now made the grand total of 6 tweets ... apparently ...
- three of which were trying to find out if Fox had footy games, which were ignored by Foxtel, or got Fox Sports muddled with Foxtel ...
- three were around the CWC final
(- and err one which doesn't show publicising Mokey's book which I deleted because I got weirdos making inappropriate suggestions as a result ... )

@pakman said in Ireland v NZ - Chicago Showdown:
Anyone know which hotel ABs are staying in?
99% sure they stayed at the Hyatt Regency in 2014. Was in Chicago for the game in 2014 and saw Richie in close proximity. Lobby full of rugby heads.
Good chance they stay there again I would think.
