France v All Blacks

No Quarter

I'm glad subscription to sky in nz has all the games.. we even have pop up channels due to the games all happening at the same time..

I had to get the Rugby channel to watch the Aus games.

Bovidae

@mimic The Ireland-Aust and Wales-SA games aren't on live though. I was hoping to watch one of those before the AB test but there are only replays later in the day.

The only other live games on Sun morning are Eng-Arg and Exeter Chiefs v Worcester Warriors - WTF?

I'm travelling and will have to check out of my motel halfway through the game

Where are you watching? Both in NZ and Australia there are more live games than EngvArg on Sunday morning; check the first post in the 2016 End-of-year internationals thread: http://www.thesilverfern.com/topic/1119/2016-end-of-year-internationals?page=1

I went to see how to add this to my Virgin package but checked the guide first and the game isn't showing

Bovidae

@Stargazer I was looking at Sky TV's online TV guide. Just checking your link, their Rugby pop-up channels aren't listed on the website. Cheers.

Stargazer

@Bovidae That's right. If you want to check in advance, use the tv guide from Vodafone (don't forget to select your Channel Favourites): http://customerzone.vodafone.co.nz/residential/inhome/tv/tvguide/tvg-grid.cfm?v=l&d=2016-11-25&h=10&f=6&c=mychannels

the broadcasting of this tour has been a cluster fuck.

Frank

Never thought I'd say this, but I am cool with Dagg getting a start ahead of Ben Smith at fullback.

MajorRage

@Frank yeah me too. For the brilliance that is Ben Smith, I don't want him playing when injured.

I've banged heads with you on Dagg in the past so good to see you are conceding that I was right all along and you were wrong.

Conrad at training today apparently - would be a welcome last minute inclusion.

I going to call an AB loss in this one. Based on not much; last match of the year, press distractions, gut instinct, dodgy wingers.

That would be quite a points turnaround from the last time we played them.

antipodean

They're playing better, not so sure we are.

Wallabies just played a B team against them and won fairly easily. The scoreline flattered the French.

I'd be severely disappointed if we dropped this one.

taniwharugby

@Rapido didnt you also say both Whitelock and BBBR shouldnt play last week?

Rapido

@taniwharugby

No, just Whitelock.

Would have played bbbr , but been concerned.

But, yeah. That st least had some 'reason' behind that feeling. This almost pure hunch. Plus I almost always over rate France.
