We are still playing in the Rugby Championship. No-one is keen for 7N entry at present. Club vs Country is still miles apart.

Are you? When is the last time you actually played a match in that competition and why have SARU been lobbying so hard to join the European competition?

So, shall we not do Lions tours to SA anymore? Just Oz and NZ? Or maybe do Argentina / Japan?
Honestly, if this is what SA rugby is becoming, let them burn.
It's one coach - not every coach. Rassie has always been obsessed with video replays and analysis. Goes back to his playing days. He bored the WP and Munster players rigid with his endless team meetings in the old days.

Unfortunately he's figured out social media and now can't resist sharing all his shite with everyone else.

Yeah, appreciate it's not everyone and that was a slightly emotional response, but I genuinely think it is hugely damaging for our game and it seems SA Rugby are in on it. It's really depressing.

Can someone using NowTV to watch the Lions please tell me: can you pause the live coverage, or watch it on a delay? 5pm isn't ideal for the children's teatime and bedtime, hence the question!

Been a stunning day in the Cape. Notsure if the pitch has dried out. Around 16 degrees so not very hot at all

Not sure you can. I had the same problem the other week.

5pm is an absolute prick of a time for a game of rugby with kids. Give me 3pm or 8pm any day.

Nope. You just have to start early with the groundwork with the Mrs, then you can put your feet up and watch it. I usually plan in a full day of DIY and general niceties to grease the gears.

If that fails, just sulk.

The Mrs. will be visiting her ill grandmother, so that doesn't work. I get the kids to myself. It's tempting to make it an event for the three of us, but the three year old would tell on me!

Ah well, good luck. It's a big game. Probably worth any heat that comes your way as long as the kids are amused.

I am in the same boat.

My strategy is an early dinner followed the first half then getting the 2 year old into bed over half time. My six year old daughter can be bribed or distracted long enough for me to get the rest of the game in.

On the plus side 5pm is early enough to allow 2 hours to watch the game and another 2 hours to go through picking out all the penalties against the Boks the ref missed

Don't forgot to check if the ref shows the Boks captain plenty of respect as well.

Look im happy with the way the ref prostrates himself in front of AWJ but perhaps this time just a little bow when Kolisi asks a question.

Got exactly the same issue and with NOW.

I'm going for pizza at half time and then they can do what they want. Wife can deal with it the next day for doing this to me.

Unfortunately any time tomorrow, except maybe morning, would have been awkward for me. Maybe I'll have signal on my phone and can find a site to stream it on. Maybe not. Won't get to see the whole thing though.

Next weeks I may just be at home in time depending on how often the ferries run. Should at least catch the 2nd half without issue though.

It’s bloody annoying TBH. I paid for Sky Sports for years whilst hardly ever using it. I finally cancelled it, and wouldn’t you know it, suddenly there’s stuff I want to watch. Now I’ve realised I’m on duty at work next week and will miss the whole bloody thing. Where does one source a download of the game?

If you have a laptop/pc download the NOW TV app, then download NVIDIA shadowplay, run the NOW tv app, get the game running and then press ALT Z and it will record whatever is on your screen, you can then watch it later.

Lets be honest it is an almost impossible job and one it will be very difficult to find people to do it if this sort of shit is allowed to continue.
Depends on your point of view. Perhaps this can be a watershed moment in the game. Look at the technology they use in cricket nowadays, surely something similar can be trialed to deal with things like forward passes, chasers in front of kickers, offside line.

God that would make the game horrendous to watch.
