Don't you think it's pretty cool that super 15 is being shown in the UK and the US?

Sharks don't seem to be showing the same hunger they did in France.

Know of any HD stream?

That it is. But then the UK and French leagues are also shown here.

Yeah, wasn't a great 1st 40 from either side, in particular the Sharks. Not expecting too much from the Kings this season though. They looking a bit light on the star factor. And who know's if the political wranglings effecting EP haven't filtered over to the Kings.

A good side to globalization.

Not in Oman I'm afraid. But it's on the Emirates satellite tv service OSN (very similar to DStv actually) for the squillions of expats in those parts.

Looks like the kings need a quota for spectators

And clueless reffing continues ...... good opening weekend

Jesus christ in a handbag! Is the only thing you can do complain about refs? You are worse than the worst blue bull

 

[crackersa]

I think the Kings can still make a comeback

Hey twat, lots of people are complaining about the poor standard already for 2016 and if you also looked properly, you'd see that complaining has been about multiple games before any Sharks game. Poor reffing is poor reffing is poor reffing, no matter the game.

It's a little bit telling that the Kiwis seem to have mastered this new maul technique and we haven't.

Hell, but you do nothing else but complain about them.

It's not the refs it's the rules of the sport. Ambiguous interpretation at the best of times.

Can you elaborate? I haven't seen it yet.

Hard to explain but you now need to pass the ball back in the maul. You can't have people join infront of he ball carrier.

Kiwi teams seem to have figured it out well while the Sharks just had a try disallowed because of it.

Thanks. Will google it later. Let's hope stormers and bulls got it down

 

[Creag]

Well that was emphatic
