Best start and game at the mungo cup (the aussies smashed em). But, and correct me if I'm wrong, the maori culture is pretty much singular (you even have a name for it), so it was pretty easy to pick the dance. Not so in oz! and I wish we had, without weapons ... Don't care so much about...

FWIW I think I've worked out a way to listen to ABC and watch Nine video, without a TV that has pause live TV (like my Sony), though I doubt anyone has a setup like me; Video; Setup Overview: TV that can play networked media (upnp/dlna). A pc with a dvb tuner and software to record and share...

Posted a year ago ... and it wasn't the poms?

I just had a listen and it was horrible, not only does he not know the names of the players, positions, etc but he completely drowns out the other commentators and somehow the vision as well. Only way to deal with this is to listen to the ABC radio but the digital feed I checked on Saturday...

Best ref got the gong. One thing I'd like to see him ref this week is the shepherding of players for the receiver of kicks. Early examples in the AB - OZ game include 2:56 - 7, 7:15 - 1 and 7:36 - 7&9

Shute Shield is on the ABC, just like the Bledisloe used to be!

I know this question has been asked before, and I'm to lazy to find out! But how are the ratings gathered? like I'm guessing the > 400 people at the pub I was at wouldn't count towards the pay tv ratings

Channel Nine have the 2015 World Cup already. I think this thread and the IRB is getting to big for it's boots thread should be linked :? Hey not that ARU does any better, they've sold all the other FTA rites to channel Nine and there's no Super Rugby games shown - only a rap up buried at 2300...

I was a wee bit pussed when I watched the game, so I really shouldn't say anything and yes i'm really happy the Wannas won but that was a shite game. The Wannas played to the ref after learning a bit to late in the Irish game that you have to. And I don't blame the Saffers or the Wannas, I...

What would he get cited for - eye gouging, shoulder charge or the one Paddy said to keep an eye on head high in the ruck?

Nothing bizarre about it in my eyes -> http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/forum/threads/9357-The-Kiwis-are-rigging-the-World-Cup-so-they-can-win.

Not sure what constitutes your "mainstream" Google'ing News "Channel 9 RWC coverage" and you get (the first is from this morning). http://www.theroar.com.au/2011/09/30/channel-9-butchering-more-than-the-rugby-world-cup/...

WWOS is saying that it's on Live nationwide -> http://www.facebook.com/wideworldofsports And grievous there's a bunch of other articles/facebook pages (including comments on WWOS page above) etc on how bad nine's coverage has been.

Yeah, your probably right, the money the Saffer's and NZ's make from FTA (if they have it) is probably the same as what SANZAR makes of of PTV in OZ.

Ignoring the mungo's, who I hate now more than ever after Channel 9's shite coverage and why they have done it. AFL coverage into Sydney (not country NSW) has been abysmal, no live game Friday night on 7, normally 1 live game Saturday (maybe 2 if the swans played) on 10 and Sunday on 7 on...

And blow a hammy doing so - I hope after dingos (not!) early replacements last week Samo, Barnes etc will be replaced early And to Palu, bad luck mate :(

As far as SANZAR goes and it's pie - anyone know what's the FTA coverage like for S15's in NZ and SA? is OZ getting it's fair slice?

Yeah looked a lot like soccer when slowed down - but it was obstruction and deserved a penalty, something the commentators didn't seem able to grasp.

Can someone explain the penalty the all blacks got at, i think 47 - all black feed and the ball hadn't been fed in yet and the all blacks pushed over the line and got a long arm for it?

That book have a black cover and a silver fern on it - the tap was taken right next to the ref and the ref was looking at the tapper when he took it, the delay in awarding the try was IMHO due to worry over the player who'd been whacked in the head by SBW. And is that the same book that says we...
