Broadcast options for Australian Rugby

[Sword of Justice]

Maloney wasn't at the ground, so was calling off the broadcast, and didn't know there was a match winning break until it was all but done

This is the greatest shame in my view. There’s no way anyone can commentate well like that honestly. Even the AFL does it a lot and they are cashed up so I don’t think it will change.

Big Bash do it all the time too. This is why you get those ridiculous moments where the commentators think it's gone for 6 and it ends up being easily caught 20m in from the boundary.

I'd prefer just to take the world feed with commentators actually there over Stan commentating OS games off the TV in Sydney

No, can’t do that for spring tour games: might end up with that English commentator who is an absolute punish on 6 Nations games. Dewi Morris, I think?

Crowd at force v tahs?

Hasn't been posted anywhere that I can see. Looked average and I'd guess a dip from previous games and around the 12k mark?

who've already gone out and purchased 'ScamSticks' as they don't want to pick up Disney streaming to watch ESPN (and are keeping Fox for league/AFL/cricket).

Excuse my ignorance, but what are "scam sticks"?

I wish you could choose the commentary, with streaming it could not be too difficult for someone like Stan to broadcast the footage and have other people commentate.

an example may be having some podcasters commentate a game or two during the season with the normal footage. Maybe some "super fans" hanging shit on each other through the game could be interesting. Changing the audio cant be too difficult???

Amazon fire sticks which have been preloaded with pirating software. A bunch of local markets sell them these days ready to go or you can order online and setup yourself. Usually cost around $150 for the base setup which gets you on demand movies and tv and some sports packages.

You can then upgrade them for annual fees (again around $100) and get access to essentially every TV channel in the world and all live sports including pay per views. You can pair with a VPN if you want some extra security as well.

I don’t have one myself but like I said in my post, I reckon at least half a dozen mates have them setup now and are just cutting everything else. I’ve watched some sports and normal TV on them and it’s no different in quality.
