Yes. https://www.foxtel.com.au/discover/foxtelgo/default.htm Online, and streamed. On a month to month contract, and you can get just sport for the parts of the year you want. They are still obsessed with selling the set top box version, so it's not the easiest thing to find on their page.

Back to the gameplan. The bit I worry about is the kicking, or lack thereof. You can't kick as little as the Tahs did in Super Rugby in Test rugby, otherwise teams with a strangling defence will just pin you in your half all day, or if your attack struggles in one game (say, your 10 or 12 has...

Not sure exactly what is implied by Cheika ball, but if you are asking if exactly what the Tahs did will work for the Wallabies, then no, I don't think it will. There are too many weaknesses, such as neglecting set pieces to focus on attacking and linking training, or relying heavily on fitness...

I think fear is an overstatement, but given a choice I'd say most of the NH coaches (particularly Schmidt, Gatland and the Italian and Scottish coaches from last year) would prefer to play against Foley, as Cooper was pretty destructive and had very few errors on last year's EOYT. That's not...

It was Magnay.

Oh, and congrats to Speight. When he gets back to full form, will be poetry in motion. Even not at 100% yet I thought he had some brilliant touches.

Thought we were gone at 17 - 0 down. The Wallabies showed a lot to fight back and even take the lead 20 - 17, although with help from a shocker from the TMO. Foley showed what he brings in that first half - not the best destributor or tactical kicker or most creative player, but give him a...

I am just going on what you have said, and unfortunately for you Argentina have blown massive holes in your arguments about the France game. The France game was just as nearly everyone said: a sloppy, error ridden Wallabies strangled by aggressive French defence. On both of those performances...

Same old drawbacks. Nothing has changed. No spring so poor jumper, lazy around the ground, can be good at rucks but lazy play means he just flops quite often. Is great in the scrum. Got a good offload. But hey, he kept Douglas out of the side last year even though he was leaving. Still...

Sometimes I don't know if you are just a rotten player judge with little ability to judge a rugby game, or a troll. I think I lean towards troll. I do find it amusing that just about everyone avoids the bait, in that likely case.

Vaea will need a good time to get back in shape, he looked pretty over his previous playing weight in the NRC. But, good luck to him.

Last year reserve front row of Benn Robinson, TPN, Paddy Ryan with second row of Timani, Simmons smashed the Irirsh reserve front row. Starting front row got a points decision on the Irish starting front row as well, including a wheel that led to Cooper's when Australia then got the feed. Big...

Been watching a few of last year's EOYT games as a warm up for this year's games. As a result, here are five guys who are starting that I think need some big games: 6. Jones - blindside is a bit of an issue for us with Fardy out. Fardy was huge on last year's EOYT, and then came into great...

3:30am is just an awkward time, particularly if you have a baby waking up at 6:30am - 7am. I'll record on 10 and watch in the morning, without looking at anything first so the result isn't ruined. Only reason I watched the Barbarians game live was because I can't record Foxtel Go/Play, and...

This thread has totally gone off the deep end; it's just going around in circles complaining about the same $28k cut to Shute Shield clubs. Rule 10 is coming into play. Unless something changes or new information comes up, it may be time to move on, or at least post less on the matter. FYI...

Thought McMahon may have made the bench ahead of Schatz, but there you go. Schatz was pretty poor for Super Rugby, but good for the NRC. Not sure that justifies his bench, but I can understand the call up as there's no-one else of experience - unless you take a punt on some other guys who...

The ARU is broke. They are cutting money everywhere. Why you think that $28k funding to the Shute Shield clubs is sacred, I do not know. The sad fact for the SS clubs is that the funding would have inevitably gone, anyway. I doubt the ARU ever had intentions of funding comps in Sydney...

I seem to believe that choosing to hold onto a ball with 30 seconds to play when 5 points up is different from trying to run multiple phases inside your 22 off most kick offs. So, I fail to see the relevance. To be fair and answer your question, I was critical of more than Foley for that...

Amongst other things, I am pretty worried about our exits. Running multiple phases out of your 22 against a set defensive line is something that can work in Super Rugby, especially with what is probably the best pack in the comp. It's too risky though at Test level, so I hope that we clear it...

And this attitude is what drives a further wedge between the ARU and the SS clubs, and even SS clubs and other rugby supporters. The ARU board members (and some of its executive) are paid less than what they should be, and the ARU itself has gone through massive pain trying to cut costs...
