Luxury!! - 2.15am here.

[Machpants]

Is the kick off at 15 or 45 past, as it says on ABs.com -0545 there

[Canes4life]

Sky Sport NZ's coverage is from 5.45am, I assume kick-off will be 6.00am after anthems, the haka etc.

From allblacks.com; it's correct at this side of the planet.

Interesting that Sky Sport NZ have the game on both Sky Sport 1 and 2.

Channel 1 has the build-up, the game, and post game show.
Channel 2 just has the game. Coverage starting from 7am - 9.15am

[Stargazer]

@Canes4life Sky Sport 2 is with commentary in Te Reo.

By the way, this game is also free to air on Sky Open.

Maybe it is not recognising me in NZ, maybe

This game is on FTA on Sky Open from 6am Saturday, then the other pool games are delayed I think

[Stargazer]

I think I'd better make a "watch list" with all the RWC and NPC games that I want to watch. My eyes will be more square than usual.

@Crazy-Horse
we can play 5 wingers in the QF though that is a bonus.

Fozzie innovation, the 1 - 7 bench.
The "peewee squad" they'll call it.

Lose our front row , have uncontested scrums, and throw it around Fiji style

Yeah but don't we default our next game?

[Machpants]

I've put the ABs to win it, but that is totally heart over head.

[taniwharugby]

@Machpants McCaw is in Paris, thats a 3 point assist.

[KiwiMurph]

Looks like it will be hot and humid - even factoring in the 9pm local kickoff time
