I get whatever Setanta have paid for as a feed in Indonesia.
I think I might have to suffer through Kearns and co.

I watched us play the boks and the friendlies on setanta in Thailand and we had the kiwi commentary for both, so you might be in luck

The day you wish for Justin Marshall is a sad one

If you were back in Wimbledon you could listen to Tugboat and KearnSY! 😬

Wpw ANOTHER DEAL struck

No that's the guidance by world rugby, right call by the rules

Rugby no longer exists as the game I know and played.

I feel the same , can’t be fucked arguing about the rules , but fuck , it ain’t what it was

[Damo]

I am a bit skeptical about that RC. I think slow mo might have made it worse than it was.

[Victor Meldrew]

Oz commentators are def. siding with SB.

[booboo]

Don't tuck your arm.

[canefan]

It really IS tiddlywinks now

[Yeetyaah]

Fucking Scooter Barrett

[ACT Crusader]

I love it. We get to test our 14 man game plan given there is a litany of French refs going to the RWC, we are guaranteed to be running with 14 at some point.

[Donsteppa]

Barrett being an utter deadshit will only serve to gloss over the hard questions needed about the way this side has been playing since the Lions series...

[kiwiinmelb]

Anyway we are playing dumb , even without the red card

[booboo]

Fucking Crusaders

Yep, not difficult. And if you are going to shoulder charge it’s super stupid to get the head.

Ref had no choice. Clear red.

[Billy Tell]

At the end of the day if you dont use your arms youre asking for trouble i suppose.

Im liking the interchsnge between bb and rm. Im likng the backrow. But i think we need to talk abiut our props.

Fucking Crusaders

They’ll blame the ‘Naki.

[Mokey]

Well. We played good rugby for approx 3 minutes that half. The rest was pure shite. Do we even have a gameplan?

[booboo]

At least it's only a friendly

[hydro11]

I don't think that should be a red card but that is a reasonable call from Garces based on precedent. Definitely no intent (which is irrelevant). I didn't think there was a lot of force in that.

Thing is we play a game plan which is all around the game opening up in the second half. Even if that were a yellow card, we would be 16-12 down and have only 14 players until 30 minutes to go. We would probably still win from there but you are asking a lot.

In the World Cup we need to play for 80 minutes.

[Kirwan]

I’m pretty relieved that we are only four points behind. We were blown off the park.
