As you can see, if I try for anything Northern Hemisphere, I'm logged out.

Southern Hemisphere works fine.

I've looked at their FAQs, and I should get it, plus the England games, but I'm not. 2 computers tried.

I don't see Gallagher Premiership listed on there. Looking it up, Gallagher indicates only shown on Sky and/or BT.

[Big Boy]

You're right, I was mistaken for The Rugby Championship. That aside, it didn't show the Autumn Nations Cup either.

It is misrepresentation IMHO. Games they aren't showing display a bar graph instead of the play button. Gallagher Premiership games all display the play button.

There has been no response from the Rugbypass lack of help line, so I guess it's just footie from now on. It P's me off when I'm paying good money for the service. Having crap service from the likes of Buffstreams (took me 5 hours to clean the crap off my TV laptop) is my own fault for being a cheapskate, but when I'm paying, I expect them to do more than bank my cash.

I've been checking their site again this morning. Here's their banner, which clearly shows the game:

I log on, and go to today's games. I'm immediately logged out, and the Bristol game is greyed out. Just to take the P even further, they are offering the Wales game

They're showing the Autumns Nations Cup as I watched England vs Ireland last night on it, albeit on TRUE, but it was the Rugby Pass channel.

Perhaps Gallagher this year is only replays since the rights issue with SKY/BT?

[Big Boy]

Yes, so why advertise it as being available?

Actually, I've at last made some sort of contact. I did it via their Facebook Page, to which their 'red rag to a bull' response was e-mail us. I've now had a e-mailed response, and they are looking at the problem. The fact they are looking at the problem, to me says there is something wrong. Else I'd have just had the 'we're not showing it' response.

[PeteC]

The Rugby Pass channel on TRUE at the moment is showing LEI - GLO noted as "Delayed". So at present it appears to be replays for Gallagher.

[Big Boy]

This is what it shows on mine. Yesterday, Exeter for example had the greyed out play arrow. Today it has a graph. Not that I'd want to pollute my eyes by watching Exeter, I couldn't even if I'd wanted to.

Getting back to the rugby, pharvey will be unhappy as Bath, apart from a sweet try early in the 2nd half, were pretty ordinary in their defeat by newly promoted Newcastle.

England were pretty impressive in the 1st half against Ireland, who were lucky to get to the break only 12-0 down. The game petered out, certainly as a spectacle, in the last 30 minutes, though England's defence was awesome throughout.

No, Bath were not great - but you can't take anything away from Newcastle, they were fired up and played well. Bath are going to have problems next week when they're away to Exeter who simply continue to be on a mission.

Bath's loss was England's gain with a host of Bath players in the England squad including the likes of Sam Underhill who was in mindblowing form against Ireland, Bath certainly missed him. Some of the stats from the "Twickers Clash" were simply incredible - I can't remember exact figures, but the tackle count was something like 240+ for England, 75+ for Ireland.... 50+ of England's tackles came from the backrow, with not 1 tackle missed - Christ, Wales have a BIG step up to make!! In all fairness, incredibly abrasive and powerful defense...

At Llanelli, there were big improvements for Wales, especially in the tight - but we are still way, way off the mark. 18 - 0 against Georgia was hardly fantastic (0 pts scored with Georgia down to 14 for a Yellow Card - that should have been Red), despite the dire conditions. A great improvement in the forwards' performance, but mainly due to selections that should have been made from game 1. The worrying factor is very little idea in attack - yes, crappy conditions, but the tempo should have been far higher than it was.

Pivac may well need an escort from the ground come the end of the game next Saturday - West Wales not the best place to be for a losing Coach of Wales against the Lillywhites........

Sorry DM, but to give closure on this - Rugbypass have offered me a refund, which I have accepted. In future, if K.O. is not silly o'clock, we'll watch at Father Teds. If on at silly o'clock, Rugbypass have done me a BIG favour.

Might be just as well you missed the Wasps v Bristol game, BB. The last 20 minutes were pretty hectic but your lads got pipped at the post in the last minute. Devastation all round...

[Big Boy]

Yes, I saw the result, and it sounded good. However, I don't think we can even get highlights here.
