I will be a total recluse until I've watched it.

Well. that was worth waiting for

Absolutely - cracking match Bristol had certainly gone out to run the ball and tire out Bordeaux, but fair play to the Beagles, they certainly made a match of it fighting throughout - 13 to nil up at one point. Seriously, 100 minutes of rugby at that pace?! There'll be some sore bodies this morning!!

I'll be a happy man if today's matches come close

pharvey, what channel are you watching the rugby on?

Premiership & European on BT Sports - occasional match on S4C although Pro14 now finished. You can also stream on http://buffstreams.tv/ along with F1 etc.

Hell's teeth, I'm not paying for BT Sports AND Sky Sport... Looks like I'll have to try buffstreams!

I have to mention again why don't you just get Rugby Pass, and use your VPN to point to Singapore, Thailand or somewhere over here where the games are not blocked by Rugby Pass?

[dtaai-maai]

I'm using the Opera VPN for such... illicit... purposes, not sure if it allows me to do that? There's a Firefox VPN now too, haven't sorted that yet.
Just had a quick look at buffstream, it seems perfect for what's on now. I'll try it for Sarries in a couple of hours.

I don't know about Firefox VPN, but the Opera VPN should work with Rugby Pass if you point it to "Asia" on the drop down menu. I don't know how stable their stream will be compared to a paid VPN.

[dtaai-maai]

OK thanks Pete.

[Big Boy]

There are some freebie videos on RugbyPass. Try them first. If they work, there's a good chance the rest will work.

Excellent, you have beaten the competition for the position of my unpaid PA!

Oh, the privilege....

Not much of a game so far, 2 mins into the 2nd half. Not sure whether both teams are having an off day or whether they're cancelling each other out. Hopefully it will liven up soon.
