Yup!.

@Bovidae the Force are always left out...
-
Surely they could get Cameron Shepherd to squeeze into a force jersey and lace up the boots.

So 35 and 37 forecast for Saturday and Sunday, no storms...whether has been shit (bloody hot with no storms) for weeks. Going to be fairly ordinary playing in that you would imagine...
-
Couldn't find anything about this being broadcast on Sky. What's the deal?
-
Sky has a pop-up channel for the event.
More info:
LIVE on Sport Pop-Up 57 from 2.30pm this Saturday -
Anyone notice a Brussow/Pocock type ballhawk in any of the NZ sides?
I'd put my dollars on the side with the best fetcher winning the whole thing.
-
Matt Matich has been called into Blues 10s squad as injury cover, although not sure who for.

F%$^%ing Sky.
-
SS1 doesn't have any live sport on this afternoon so I'm not sure of the rationale - we obviously don't pay extra for a pop-up channel. Note that live softball is also on a pop-up channel today.
-
Ok so does anyone know what the format of this thing will be? Is it lots of short games like 7s or full 80min games and the loser gets knocked out?
-
@pukunui Check out this link:
-
-
Ten players per team on field.
-
Eight substitutes, with unlimited interchanges.
-
Ten minute halves. Five minute halftime.
-
Knockout matches drawn after regulation are continued into extra time, in multiple 5-minute periods.
-
All conversion attempts must be drop-kicked.
-
Conversions must be taken within 40 seconds of scoring a try.
-
Five player scrums.
-
Scoring team kicks off
-
Yellow cards net a three-minute suspension.
-
Referees rule on advantage quickly (where one play usually ends advantage).
-

It's the same as normal 10s tournaments.

I get the impression that Sky treats FanPass customers as an afterthought and deliberately do this to try and get us to buy the full package.
At $56 a month it isn't exactly cheap - though admittedly it does give real flexibility to turn it on and off whenever one likes. I am pissed because I let it roll over for another month the other day purely so I could watch the 10's. Otherwise I would have waited until the first ODI of the Proteas tour to turn it back on and saved about 2 weeks of use.
-
Thanks for the info.
Looks like a big crowd has turned up. Must be all of 200 people there. -
Turf is breaking up already.
-
Full time: Rebels 19 - 5 Chiefs
-
You're aren't missing much. It looks like the breakdown will be a free-for-all based on the ref in the first game.
-
This is like shit sevens. Good for a run in the legs and, given the heat, cooking blokes. Good for fuck all else. Tournament a one-and-done?
-
-
@mariner4life I remember playing 10s as a schoolboy so was curious. I watched the Chiefs game and I'll check out the Blues game. But that will be it for the day.
All I hope is for no injuries. Weber went off in the first game.
-
IS it live on Sky? I can't seem to find it anywhere and channel 057 is unknown.

Is anyone getting it on 57? Maybe I need a reboot
-
so Rangers was classed high, but Tongan Thors not?
-
@Bovidae said in Brisbane Global 10s:
@nzzp Yes, Blues playing the Reds now. Perhaps you need to be a subscriber to the Rugby Channel as Ch 57 is listed as a Rugby pop-up channel on the graphic?
OK, cheers
Anyone getting it who isn't a Rugby channel subscriber? I'm assuming not
'tis a bit weird as I usually see channels even if I can't access them. Will try rebooting and see what happens
-
75m try for the BLues via Declan O'Donnel after Ranger has a simple draw and pass to set him free
-
poor defence read by Ranger lets Reds score 80m try

Boom! Rebooted the box and now I'm watching .... great result

Yes, it's weird. During the last EOYT, the Sky Sports Pop-up channels were located before ESPN, and the Rugby Channel Pop-up after the Rugby Ch. Now the Rugby Channel Pop-up is before ESPN? Or just used the wrong graphic?
Would be absolute nonsense to require people to have a RC sub for this tournament. Sky trying to milk more money out of a one-off tournament? Yeah right.
-
BLues hit back again through Guyton, through lots of hands. Was an advantage for a high tackle while player was falling in there too.
-
@Stargazer said in Brisbane Global 10s:
@nzzp How do you reboot?
Turned off, pulled out power cord, plugged back in, stared at red circle for a couple of minutes, scratched balls, watched TV
