The Rugby thread

[netstrider]

wish I had your tech guru's abilities. since I left my iptv service I have no way to watch the rugby.

viprow dot nu also works, just get a good adblocker for your browser.


You can usually only start the stream a few mins before the game starts (like 5 min or so) so keep that in mind.

Wow, I know it still needs to be ratified but didn't think they would do that one year out from the world cup.

He has been sacked.

Jake White will be applying soon I reckon,

I just realised Eddie's last game was the thumping by the Boks. This makes me glad.

They should have sacked him two years ago when they were going nowhere.

So today we start HCC and EPCR. A lot of games this weekend.

2 very tough tournaments, we might be in for a rude awakening

We struggled at the start of the URC, give our boys time.

Need two squads to play in both leagues. Home and away teams.

And some people say the EPCR is Tier 2 but if you see the teams in the EPCR that is a massive challenge alone. Bristol bears are in the EPCR and they smacked the Spring Bok A side.

I wonder if we should prepare ourselves for a good number of losses by the SA sides?

 

[Groggyme]

It will take time to adjust but I think we should be fine. I am looking forward to seeing the Cheetahs playing more regularly.

DSTV is showing all the Champions Cup games and some of the EPCR games.

Bulls at home to Lyon should win that. Ditto for the Sharks who are at home to Harlequins and are for the first time, at full strength after their off season spending spree. But they're still an unknown in terms of whether they'll click. I'm not expecting much from the Stormers, just a good showing. They're away to Clermont, widely regarded by most who have been involved in Europe as the toughest place to tour. If they can push Clermont all the way, I'll be happy.

So, this Antoine Dupont dude opens his mouth...

Saying it's no longer a European competition because the South Africans joined. How ironic because he seemed to forget all the South Africans, Aussies and NZL players in the teams that help them to a Champions cup win.

Crazy 1st day of CPT 7s.

Australia lost against Great Britain
New Zealand lost against Spain

Let's see if the Lions can kick of the winning for the SA teams in the first EPCR game of the day.

The Lions are really not playing well. They won't get far in the EPCR if they continue like this. What happened from URC to EPCR?

 

[SAguy]

I don't understand why they haven't ripped this pitch up yet at CT stadium and put in a decent rugby turf

Well it's not a loss. The Lions could have won the game easily.
