lol fuck surely you don't think even RA are dumb enough to sell the rights to a platform that can only be watched on a phone

@mariner4life No, of course, I didn't. Maybe he didn't have chromecast, or a smart tv etc.

Yeah definitely about watching at a pub. I am challenged in the IT department but even I know about casting 😀

also checked channel 9....looks like they are only showing the Dura v Tahs game on sat...another things they could have negotiated better to raise the game would be more games free to air from the super round

Super Rugby Pacific ball-in-play time up nearly two minutes on last year
The move to speed up Super Rugby Pacific and increase the amount of ball-in-play time is off to a promising start, with the Round 1 numbers now confirmed to have been an improvement on those from 2022.
According to Oval Insights, the average ball in play for Round 1 was 1:54 longer than that of the 2022 season. The mean for 2023 was 31.21 compared to 29.27 last year. The Crusaders-Chiefs game topped the Round 1 fixtures with a ball-in-play time of 38.15, while the Waratahs-Brumbies contest in Sydney was at the other end of the scale at 26.29. Still, that figure on Friday night in Sydney was a whopping 4:32 improvement on the lowest game from Round 1 in 2022. -

Nic Berry's understanding of urgency is clearly vastly different from BOK's. I know which one I prefer.
Even worse was Gardner stopping the game for 114 seconds so a prop could change one shoe for a lineout. What a fucking farce.

The Oz games were notably slower and, as you say, reffed at different urgency. Those stats back that up.
12 minutes difference between the Saders/Chiefs game and Brumbies/Waratahs. Did someone not get the memo? -

I haven't read the article.....but shouldn't the length of time a game takes also be tracked? Shirley that's another metric that should be considered in the overall picture.
I am pretty sure that is a big factor in these current rules.
Over-run games hurt TV schedules which piss of the broadcasters
-
Part of this change is to reduce stoppage time. Stoppage is what causes the time blowouts.
The TMO one seems good. Clear and obvious. Reduce endless replays of the same picture. The yellow card being assessed for upgrade while the game continues. All good
Waiting while a player struggles to tie their shoelaces not so good. -

A quick check of the Fr vs Ir game - the game took a total of 94 minutes and 31 seconds. While the Crusaders vs Chiefs game took 87 minutes and 58 seconds.
The Saders Chiefs game might’ve been an anomaly First game under the interpretations and both teams buying into it fully. Certainly seemed to be fast.
