Some stray thoughts from the match. • Spare a thought for Scotland and their coach Vern Cotter - losing to the Wallabies by one point for the second time in a year, virtually, and this time the coach knowing that he wasn't wanted by Scotland and will move back to France. • I can see why Huw...

2016 was our big chance - and pardon the pun because we had a big forward pack and they performed well, including, by and large in the scrums. It was the backs that under-performed and they weren't crash hot in 2015 either. It was galling to see the Pommie backs this year being better than...

TPN going to the Force and not overseas - maybe it's old news and I didn't spot it; whatever, I didn't see that coming. Edit It's only for one year; so his need to have surgery probably scotched plans to play overseas. Latu and Roach won't care. .

^^^^^ I know Fardy's mum and that is not Fardy's mum. .

Geez - quite a few posts on the game. Too many to read all of them but I bet there are a lot of positive ones for a change. Here are some stray thoughts: • Wales' fans would have been keenly disappointed with the tepid performance of their team, but if we remember how crap the Wallabies were...

Thanks to mst I found out that there is some live-streaming of the AB game in Chicago - and I assume for other AB games. http://www.allblacks.com/News/30047/live-stream-information-for-chicago-rugby-weekend Note that you have to register before Friday afternoon. I don't know anything more...

You'd think it would be possible to record the red button games but when I watched that schools' game on the red button channel a few weeks ago there was a warning that it couldn't be recorded, and when I tried anyway it didn't work. Maybe it will be different for a rugby test - if indeed they...

^^^^^^ You could watch the All Blacks games last year without using the red button channel - though I can't remember if I watched it on Setanta or the regular FoxSports channels. I don't think they were on the red button channel because I recorded all the non-Aussie games in case I fell...

I've been in my burrow. Anyone know how we are going to watch these non-Aussie games, in Australia? They don't appear to be on Fox Sports and even the Wallabies' games are on beIN Sports. .

He's always confusing Fitzpatrick and Fitzgerald - don't know where he picked up that from. :) .

There was a replay on yesterday at 9:00am which I recorded at the last minute when I was browsing. It's not on the "Anytime" option, but if you keep revisiting the FoxSports guide it could be on later - though I notice there is no replay for the following week. .

There is a blog on the game here: https://goo.gl/c1gkkO Give it a click. .

There is a brief video of a few parts of the game here - not much on the Aussies good play though: The first half of the video is on the game between NZ Schools and Fiji. NZ beat Fiji 45-19 - Aus Schools beat them 39-17, if that means anything. Reports from Stuff on both Monday games...

Clarkie should know I suppose and the ASRU said it was on. I looked last night in the TV guide on the TV and also on the Foxtel website, but it wasn't listed. Maybe what they have listed was the original guide which is to be changed, but they are taking their own sweet time doing it aren't...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Wow thanks - they are great photos for a rainy overcast day. I may put a couple in the blog for the Badger. .

The Honey Badger has sent in another sterling report. https://goo.gl/221244 Give it a click. Thank you Honey Badger - what a fine animal. .

The NZ Barbarians beat the Aussies last time too. It's hard to get a line on who the selectors fancy to play in the test match going by the sides they picked for the Baas game and the earlier two. Everybody has had a starting game and a majority have had two. Winger Eadie and Sunia F have...

The Honey Badger was at the game and has sent in a report and photos. It was more than just a few bullet points. The blog is here - give it a click. https://goo.gl/RHx36Q Well done the Badger. .

The Aus Schools website mentioned that Aus was behind 15-17 so the second half must have been 24-0 to the Aussies. They will have a match report up soon. Honey Badger will send us some bullet points and there will be a G&GR blog on the game with some photos from HB. Edit - the ASRU report...

No he's not Lindommer's grandson but there is an elliptical connection, because Lindommer mentioned the correct spelling of Hanigan's surname. When Ned was still at school I asked Ned's real grandfather how to spell the name because it was spelled differently in various programmes - and he got...
