Danie Craven Stadium in Stellies I think.

Mine is also smooth no issues. Must be the IPV6 feed. Have they started prioritizing IPV6?

If you use an ISP that doesn't have Akamai ca hes then you get it either from Mweb or Akamai directly. Mweb for v4 and Akamai for v6

NZL come from 19 to 5 down halftime to snatch the win in the second half. Not bad

Good win by the Cheetahs.

They started like a house on fire but after 20min completely switched off and they are playing so poorly Georgia can actually sneak a win here.

First fixture of the season for the BB's. How we go into a world cup without any game time is mind boggling. Having said that, they competed in the Summer 6nations series in 2022, in the same circumstances and finished unbeaten. Bafana Nthleko is a proper coach! Really impressed with what he's done with the U20's since taking over in 2021...

Also, don't underestimate this Georgian side. They were 2 minutes away from beating England 3 weeks ago.

Jean Smith goal kicking tonight was some of the best I've ever seen, at any level, ever!! BRILLIANT!! That sort of proficiency wins world cups!

Anyway, Boks showed glimpses of brilliance. JF Van herdeen is a Bok in waiting.

The more they play together, the better they'll get,...

Dstv streaming was shitte today. It seems to struggle when it is any sort of big game.

World cup draw for us is bad.

The top 5 teams in ranking in the world are in the same half.

 

[pinball wizard]

Why's it called a currie cup? I don't think I've ever seen an Indian playing rugby.

 

[MuterOfWorlds]

World cup draw for us is bad.

The top 5 teams in ranking in the world are in the same half. That means current one of two really weak teams Australia and England will make the final.

I don't think this is correct, similiar to how we played the 2007 final against England who were in our group and how the 2019 WC, we could've played against NZ in the final had they beaten England instead of losing.

Unless the match making system has been changed for this WC, the two sides of the draw are only guaranteed at having representation up to semi final lvl, not final.

The final can still be between any of NZ, SA, France or Ireland and can even be between two teams from the same group.

Congrats to the Cheetahs for winning the CC Final.
Also congrats to the Baby Boke on their win.
