Test rugby isn’t where the money is when it comes to streaming. People could just get a subscription for a few weeks and then cancel when the tests are over. It’s worth a lot for broadcast because the big ratings means lots of ad revenue and it’s good for cable as they lock you in on long contracts....

Is it not still branded as Super Rugby? Nope. the long and the short of it is that the comps aren’t on broadcast TV and have become very niche. Not at all. This season's audience is up 162% year on year. 1.3 million viewers for last weekend's AU game https://www.mediaweek.com.au/its-a-great-sport-n...

My understanding is that Foxtel is a massive loss-maker and it may not be operating in Australia in 12-24 months. Even with the free money being pumped into News Ltd by Facebook and Google Foxtel apparently isn't sustainable. Almost all cable tv is a loss maker. It's a dying medium. Sports that hav...

Let me say this one last time. The Pentagon released footage of UFOs which they are unable to explain. The only person here talking about it being aliens is you, kid. And they did because….. they want to distract people like they did with that Area 51 shit? And here you are - distracted and angry b...

:frown: Here's the thing - you ask a question that you think will make people go, "Wow! It is aliens!" here you are again, describing stuff that never actually happened in real life on this thread. Btw. I was in the Royal Air Force for 13, your "fighter jet" talk was cute. :lol: So you know why a fi...

:lol: We’re up close and personal with some ‘military intelligence’ on this one. Or maybe just a weapon? You don't even know why it's funny but you're hoping to bluff your way through. I respect that, but I deal with kiwi rugby fans so I know all the tricks. Here's the thing - you ask a question th...

Maybe. Maybe the pilot would have thought, that could be a plane? I'll just check my on board radar? Hi Sir, just wanted to report an object I recorded. Did you check your radar to see if it wasn't just another plane in the sky that shouldn't have been in that airspace, despite all US aircraft havi...

:proud: Adam Jones, Ayerza and Castrogiovanni were still rocking at 33. Franks is in their league, so depending on how the body is going, there's no reason why he couldn't contribute at the top level. It's not as if there is a standout candidate to keep him out of the team. He’s not in their league....

Yeah he's got huge wraps, but I much prefer Sorovi.

But if Valetini can do his thing......
Lonergan at halfback is quality and keen to see how he goes with the start. Fines on the bench is a gun too. The Saders deserve to be favourites but not at those odds. The Brumbies are really well drilled and a really well balanced team from 1-15.

Why is the human race or at least the imagination so egotistical to presume that Dac’s vastly superior alien beings are of similar physical size and appearance to humans. Who has done that? Look at your typical descriptions of aliens, the bodies they are supposedly doing the autopsy of, the abducti...

My only question is how will this impact on Tyrel Lomax's development. I've never seen Owen Franks bested at scrum time over the course of 80 minutes. He will sure up the Canes scrum immensely. He is also a consummate professional with unbelievably high standards and so he will bring a lot to the o...

We take it for granted that it's possible to travel at speeds approaching lightspeed and/or there's wormholes and stuff that provides shortcuts. It is entirely probable, that humans won't ever make a dent outside our solar system. I'm not saying 'likely' so don't lose your nerd mines. I appreciate t...

Polywaffle would have been the best option. I see what you did there. It turns out that the feds have been bankrolling the resurrection of Hoadleys, so Violet Crumble and Pollywaffle would have both been OK.

Cadbury Old Gold Cherry Ripe is the only good bar they do nowadays. The rest of the stuff is low grade shit. Used to be good though.

Reds are paying $4..... this is a good Reds' side, so if it's not the strongest Clans' team, then either the standard of the comps is massive or the bookies are really wrong. The Tahs v Canes is ridiculous odds. I'm not saying I'm going to win, but I think the bookies have gotten this really wrong ...

moving off Sky in the UK&I is a mistake. No one cares too much about the &I part. It seems as though the News Corp relationships gradually going away has impacted how SANZAR sell their product.

Unbelievable, after all the panty twisting, teeth gnashing and shrieking from so many on here because the boks put people's lives ahead of playing a game. The main comlaint back then was that the boks chickened out. Were too afraid to play. Now the boks offer the ABs a chance to play against the wo...

Of course, if it is drone technology then the question I would have is propulsion? How can you make a bowling ball size object move so fast and for so long.

What a wanker.

My bad. I agree with you. These objects in the sky are flying and it's not known what they are, so they're definitely UFOs. Almost certainly not aliens. I hadn't realised we were on the same page.

If we are going to go down the 'Is it really aliens?' path, then my opinion is the classic "it's secretive military tech". Just think, this alien-looking-craft was flying around Area 51 in the late 70's. You can't tell me that this, the Nighthawk that came from it, and the B2 bomber aren't the basi...
