Is Stars THP Tom Robertson the NRC leading try scorer (3 tries) after 2 rounds ?
Go Big Fella !

I am overseas currently and can anybody help tell me if you can watch NRC overseas? Please! The Foxsports streaming says error overtime (presumably because its locked to AUS only) and the televised matches are not shown. If anyone has any suggestions I'd be very grateful!

"hola" is your friend.

 

[Highlander35]

Maybe don't use Hola.

You become an exit node. Which means people could be using your IP address to download child porn or launch DDOS attacks, or vandalize sites or break into secure sites i.e. bunch of illegal activity.

When VPNs like PIA (https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/) offer yearly subscriptions for US$40, it's not worth the risk.

 

[Bairdy]

Can confirm, PIA is a handy investment.

Same problem here.

There are two youtube channels which I know of which upload the thursday night televised games about a week later.

Agree with Hola, more trouble than its worth

Suit yourselves

It's pretty annoying how long Foxsports are taking to get replays on the website...

They said full replays would be available within 24hours in the press release. It's been 24 hours since the Melbourne and Perth game were played and they still aren't available..

Yeah some will say we should be grateful for what they're providing, well they missed the first 20min of the Spirt game and the games are taking longer then 24hrs to be made available.

If they're going to advertise a product and then charge consumers, they need to stick with what they have advertised.

Good week for the 2 perceived weaker NSW teams beating interstate teams. I think NSW Country could find themselves last, too many young players.

After two rounds three of the top four teams IMO are already booked in for finals.
- Brisbane City
- ACT Vikings
- Melbourne Rising

Every other team is battling for that last spot

Big blow for the NRC this weekend.

When are the Barbarians back in Oz?

Looks like not too many of the Extended Wallaby Squad for the USA Test will be in the USA. Only Chibba Hansen and Sam Carter ATM.

^^^ Plus there will be a few like Stars: Dave Dennis, Chibba Hanson; City: Scott Higginbotham, Samu Kerevi; Vikings: Christian Lealiifano; Eagles: Sam Carter in the Extended Wallaby Squad for the USA Test who may not be around until about round 5.

[Braveheart81]

I'm confused why the Barbarians are playing Worcester. What's the point?

The previous games (either World XV or Barbarians) have been RWC warm ups for the opposition.

 

[Highlander35]

More than 1 match per Barbarians Squad seems fairly standard. If we ignore 1 off matches against Special sides, from the November Internationals 2011 to the November Internationals 2015, they have had a single game twice, 2 games 6 times, and 3 games once.

 

[TOCC]

I don't think NRC players should be missing games to play Worcester.. Playing against Samoa is a little different, it's a quality opposition and it's good for the game as it allows Samoa preparation for the RWC. But Worcester? Nah
