Preseason - Suntory v Blues (Feb 3rd)

@gt12 Will this be broadcast in Japan?

gt12

Looks like they are all on J-sports.

Typically, I'm in NZ...

Edit: Some reasonable PR for this (only 7K views on Youtube though):

Is it possible to watch that with a VPN, or does it require a Japanese credit card?

Daffy Jaffy

In NZ the Blues, Chiefs and Crusaders games are live on Sky sport and the Blues game is also live free to air on Sky Open channel at 4pm.

Good question.

If you sign up toJapan Amazon via VPN and get the free trial of J-sports through that, you might be able to do it on the super cheap.

Edit: Might need to also sign up for Prime

@gt12 cheers

Mr Fish

Apparently NZR+ will be broadcasting the CBR matches if you're outside NZ or Japan.

Evans at 13 is interesting too. He's been disappointing at 12 at NPC level but showed a bit more when he shifted to 13 & 15 last season. Plenty of competition at 13 though (RI, Heem & Grindlay) etc

Evans looked better at 15 than 13. He struggled defensively at 13 for Auckland. Looking at the lineup he's there because none of RI, Heem and Grindlay are avaiable.

Duluth

@KiwiMurph

Yeah I agree. I thought he offered more in attack at 13 rather than 12 though.

Tim

@Mr-Fish

Had to use an American IP address, but tonight NZR+ has updated to say that they are streaming it.

Tim

Asian IP addresses blocked. Save those streaming fees?

Strong start by Gordon.

Duluth

Darry with the first try

Gordon looking good

Kirwan

12 is great on his feet

Kirwan

Daytime rugby is a better product

There it was again

Kirwan

Man, what an offload from Choat

Duluth

Good support line from Forbes. Haven't seen much of him but he did that well for BOP last year
