If it must go behind a paywall, can Netflix or Prime please get it!

Prime please :D.

I quite enjoyed their AI coverage, their commentators actually seemed to enjoy rugby, makes the games more enjoyable when the commentators are having fun and describing whats going on. Rather than moaning about "another scrum" or "another kick", tell us why, make it interesting, explain, be excited and draw the crowd in!

"This program will be screened with limited interruptions......like just as a 5m scrum put-in happens"

And sometimes you can outright turn commentary off

They did that for football, but instead of simply muting they had all the crowd noises. It was a bit weird at first, but I really like it.

[JM2K6]

Well yeah, that reads like a Scotland team sheet

<insert joke about England's Nigerian captain here>.

Shows how well we're doing on that front if someone would have to resort to claiming a lad born in Camden and who's lived in England his whole life is in any way a poach.

don't ruin it

Yep, that was nice too at times, with the crowd noise, and if I remember, ref mic.

Hmm

[JM2K6]

"we know what we're doing now and our part time coach sometimes has an idea we like" sure is a rallying cry for the ages

[Biffer]

TNT can go fuck themselves, the heartless bastards.


My Discovery + that I use to watch cycling is set to go from £7 p/m to £31 p/m thanks to the fucks. I get football, cricket, Gallagher Prem and tennis in return. I have zero interest in all of the above, but can no longer watch sporting events that I do like at a reasonable price.

I’ve friends that got IPTV and are very happy with it

Except your friends are giving money to organised crime

I've heard IPTV is excellent.
My friend pays £40 a year and paid £20 for a firestick which they had to jail break.

[Chilli2]

Not in the 6 Nations old bean.

Not yet.
Our foot is in the door though

Can we not pollute the tournament thread with these crap wind up attempts?

If you really must, just bump the existing thread.

viewtopic.php?t=481&start=320

That thread isn't used much anymore. I'll stick to this one, but post a bit less about the Boks joining the 6N.

[PCPhil]

I see what you did there...

[Sandstorm]

Looks weak

U20's Ireland V England on tonight at 19:45 GMT

Match is live on BBC Red Button 1, & Virgin 2 in Ireland

Usually much more entertaining than the main event match

Thanks for that, I had it in my head that it was Friday!

Me too - ta to fishfoodie for pointer

[Oxbow]

That's a red I reckon.

[inactionman]

That's a red I reckon.

Yep. Very ordinary.

[inactionman]

It's fecking panto season in the crowd.

[fishfoodie]

It's fecking panto season in the crowd.

I fecking hate that they replay incidents again & again in the Stadium.

'The crowd are delighted with that decision'.

[inactionman]

I tuned out for a minute there - is this game using the 20 minute red card?

Yes. Though you probably know that now.

[fishfoodie]

Yeah; & if England continue to do dumb shit like this latest YC, they'll need it to keep 12 players on the pitch

[Oxbow]

We appear to have brought a 12-year-old on.

It would be nice to go at least 2 minutes without a penalty.

[inactionman]

Looked a bit like a headlock to me

[sockwithaticket]

He knows what he's done there. Lucky to get away with penalty only.

England's discipline has not been good.

[fishfoodie]

Very sorry lads for casting a mockers on this match by bigging up the quality of previous ones.

It is pretty foul weather down in Cork, but this is definitely one for the purists

[inactionman]

Very poor. Very scrappy match.

[sockwithaticket]

Definitely not a game that's going to live long in the memory.

I'll feel a lot better with another score of some sort. 6 point gap in these conditions has jammy/random Ireland try to win the game written all over it...

[inactionman]

That looked a bit short

[JM2K6]

Massive in the side by 20 on the second drive, unsurprisingly missed by one of the worst refs I've seen in a while

[JM2K6]

TMO bails him out for the 20th time as the very obvious penalty is pointed out

[sockwithaticket]

Restarts are definitely a work on in the week ahead. Christ.

[Oxbow]

Booooo!

[inactionman]

Restarts are definitely a work on in the week ahead. Christ.

Lineouts haven't been too clever either

[JM2K6]

Enjoy the co commentator seamlessly switching from calling the Ireland 20 "unlucky" for conceding the penalty try to losing her mind over Friday cleaning out a player 1v1 from a slight angle

[JM2K6]

Restarts are definitely a work on in the week ahead. Christ.

Lineouts haven't been too clever either

Tuipolutu has been extremely bad at everything that doesn't involve running into someone

[sockwithaticket]

Did look a bit in at the side from the England player, but the arriving Irish player who formed the ruck dolphin flopped from the side himself. Pick your penalty really.
