I am a techno retard so apologies if this is a stupid question, but can you Chromecast Rugbypass? I'd hate to be stuck watchung the rugby on a small screen if I was forced to get Rugbypass.

Yup, built into the app. Or just straight from your Chrome browser

@KiwiMurph If they have the rights in Oz I'll definitely use them, but they haven't got back to me so far to say if they have them.
I'm looking forward to the answer. I'll be beyond irritated if it's not available for viewing on the West Island.

Me too, it also means I wont be watching the Warriors ... but that's likely a net positive.

I emailed Kayo (Fox) to ask if they're playing Aotearoa Super Rugby and they replied they don't have it.
I hope it's just a rights negotiation thing ...
Fox sent me a reply today. They are still negotiating so fingers crossed.

Oh cool, hopefully they're just working out the money side and they'll announce soon - they're missing out on 3 weeks extra money from me as I'd have got it last week to watch the Warriors.

So the Golden Point is a goer.
Golden point
If a match is tied after 80 minutes of regular time, the result will be decided by golden point. The first team to score - by drop goal, penalty kick, or try - during a 10-minute period of extra time will take the win and earn four competition points.“Draws can often leave everyone feeling a little empty and after feedback from our coaches and players we have added the golden point rule,” Lendrum said.
“We’ve seen the excitement it can generate in other codes and we think adds a real edge.”
If a team loses via golden point, they can still earn bonus points for scoring three or more tries than the opposition in either regular time or extra time.
Points allocation:
• 4 competition points to the winning team
• 1 competition point to the losing team
• 2 competition points to each team if neither team scores during extra time
• 1 competition point to any team scoring three tries or more than the opposition -
Here's the full article on the innovations to SR Aotearoa:

Wait, what? You can't lose in extra time and score tries. Someone's a bit optimistic.
I really don't think it's worth it, but am pretty ambivalent....if it brings more eyes to the game then good.
