^ Keerist...Rene has no luck at all. Blow to Rene, the Sunwolves, and their supporters.

Anybody know an online link that I can watch the Highlanders beat the Reds today?

**AntRobertson** · 22-02-2019, 12:04 PM

I use RugbyPass but that's subscription only. Worth the investment though if you regularly watch:

OK, seems as it's also Wales vs England, I ponied up my $12.99 for a one-week pass. If the HD looks good on my wide-screen then I'll pay upon for a year. We'll see. WC year, so well worth having a rugby subscription.

Have you had this service for long? Consistently good? Worth paying for the year?

Edit to add: it really winds me up when I cannot find a good link, so a sports service that works for me, reliably, is well worth the $$$. I checked tickets for the WC pool matches, as I'm close to Japan, and the cheapest were $400 or so...

Anyways, winners this weekend:

Highlanders
Waratahs
English Chiefs
Sharks
Stormers
Bulls

I've always found it good. On occasion it can pixelate out a little but always comes right pretty quickly.

Has all the major comps too.

Do those Amazon firestick work in Thailand for streaming all shit for free?

Sport247.Live - Watch Free Live Sport Streams! works ok for the price (free).

edit: *arghh* sport247live isn't working now and so I signed up for rugbypass, pay my sub and find out that the game isn't available in my region (Saudi fucking Arabia)...

Not pleased at all.

Tonights beer money on Highlanders -20.

**Bettyboo** · 22-02-2019, 02:12 PM

^ Reds looking tired already, so you may get your beer money.

Blimey, could this ref suk any more Highlander cok...

Anyways, a good opening 20 by the Reds.

^ Edit to add: nice closing try by the Reds (and needed that); the crowd calling for a forward pass, cheeky bastards...

Entertaining half.

**happynz** · 22-02-2019, 03:15 PM

Clan come back to beat the Reds. Wished I could have watched it, but...

**Bettyboo** · 22-02-2019, 03:15 PM

^ Lovely HD on my widescreen through RubyPass.com

Reds put in a good shift there - if they could cut down on the aimless kicking away of the ball & find an attacking fullback they'd be a good team; Highlanders were there for the beating...

Oh? No joy for me.

Paid by PayPal. Guess I can cancel the subscription and get my $0.99 back.

**happynz** · 23-02-2019, 12:01 PM

Rugby is back on my free stream...

At halftime, Sunwolves 20 17 Waratahs

**David48atTD** · 23-02-2019, 12:34 PM

^ thanks for the link.

Go the Reds

Showing absolute faith in my team

**happynz** · 23-02-2019, 12:36 PM

Reds played well against the Highlanders yesterday.

**happynz** · 23-02-2019, 02:19 PM

Sadists monstering the 'canes 24-0

**Bettyboo** · 23-02-2019, 03:24 PM

English Crusaders winning easily although Hurricanes kept going and had a good last 20 minutes.

Nice to see the commentators saying what a great game the Hurricanes hooker was having regardless of the fact they kept losing their line outs and scrums... Gotta do the basics right and set the platform.

**Bettyboo** · 23-02-2019, 04:45 PM

The Chiefs getting a firm learning in the first half. I've been quite impressed with what I've seen of the the Convict teams so far - but the Chiefs have 3 or 4 tries in them, so the Brumbies will need to keep putting points on the board.

**happynz** · 23-02-2019, 05:19 PM

Brumbies and Chiefs are both my bogey teams. They lose when I pick 'em to win and vice-versa. Bastards...

**Bettyboo** · 23-02-2019, 05:35 PM

50 point slaughtering - that's the best I've seen the Brumbies play in years, excellent intensity. Average by the Chiefs...

**Loy Toy** · 23-02-2019, 07:30 PM

^ The Aussie side are improving Betty!

Get your money on them

**AntRobertson** · 23-02-2019, 09:47 PM

Yeah OK so another false dawn from the Blues then.

Fuck them, switched it off (no disrespect to the Sharks who actually look quite sharp).
