@Bovidae Be careful. I've just done it and checked that my RWC package was going to work.
First thing that came up was a discussion about some quarterfinal in 2007. I'm just about to go and see my therapist - again.
Spark aren't going to make many friends like that. -
@Snowy It’s a good yarn from Graham Henry. He talks about leaving their kit behind in France when they went to Cardiff for the QF which he admits was a sign they got ahead of themselves.
The Kronfeld yarns on the ‘95 games are refreshing - a few anecdotes I hadn’t heard before.

Has anyone else having issues with the subscription side of Spark Sport?
I suspended my account/payments before the renewal date, and they keep on charging my credit card and it's taking a lot of emails going back and forth before they finally return the money.
Definitely going to delete my account with Spark Sport immediately after the RWC.

Anika Moa?!
Forget that, get excited about this. SGH + 1014 = awesome
Spark has also poached the 1014 Rugby crew from Sky to provide their in-depth analysis before and during the tournament.
-
Ted is a good signing obviously, providing he is engaged he isn't afraid to give a controversial opinion or two. The rest... as the article says they really are throwing the kitchen sink. A bunch of incoherent ideas at the wall and seeing what sticks at a RWC of all places?
Augmented reality? Donald as a comments guy? Sumo going on about what great mates he is with everyone? Anika Moa? I will be happy to get the international feed!
-
I highly doubt any of the stuff with Anika is going to be the actual rugby stuff, it is more likely going to be silly interviews, ideally to see these guys outside of pressers where they are prepared, trained and robotic.

Has anyone watched any of the archive games on Spark Sport's RWC package?
I watched about 30 mins of the 2015 QF vs France to see what the picture was like and compared that to 30 mins of the final that I still have recorded on My Sky. Using the eye test I can definitely notice a difference when the players and ball are in motion on SS compared to Sky. It just doesn't look right. This is using ATV via an AVR.

I watched the Spurs AV game and it does not look as HD as sky

Are you using FanPass or SkyGo? SkyGo has definitely upgraded their stream quality over time - seems a lot better than when they kicked off

Sky go. Hard to compare because I watch both on my tv so far. Will need to compare both on another device
