It seems that the All Blacks 3rd XV are playing, well those not of Maori descent anyway 'cos they are playing Japan! Most of the 1st XV are resting and the 2nd XV playing the USA!

wow my interest in this match just went up a couple of notches. Big congrats to Matt Hodgson. Do you guys think it may be a sign of things to come as far as a possible positional change for Hooper?

This team seams to be a look at the past to see if it will work. IF not, then back to the new? Wish Matt Hodgson would always be captian, but can't see him move hooper from 7, unless they move hooper to 6?

Kellock was the captain of the Scotland team that beat the Wallabies in 2009.

I pay 15 us a month to get all international and super rugby games plus s bunch of others. Npc etc. High quality stream I can email link if anyone is interested. I don't really want to publish it in here for fear of it getting closed down. Otherwise if you search rugby on pirate bay the games are usually up a couple days later.

Gents, both VipBox and Wiziwig dot TV are the goods. Both reliable and always have a tonne of streams to choose from. Yeah, there are ads that appear on page load over the top of the video player, but after 20secs or so you can close them all no hassles. 8 years of use in Spain and not a single virus, and plenty of Rugby! Oh, and have used them both with Mac and PC. Too easy.

Bugger, I got rid of Foxtel just a few months ago. If only Fox Sports did Pay Per View... I'd pay $10 for a decent game.

Moaman I haven't come across any issues with viruses and spam. There might be a few pop up ads that appear in other windows (an issue with all streaming sites), but to be honest I've actually found this to be the cleanest. I haven't had any problems with my mac at all but I can't speak for PC users unfortunately.

How come so many fringe All Blacks are allowed to play? Great game time for them! I guess having Kirwan as the coach is favourable. Should be a great game. Do us proud Wallabies FOS you are an embarrassment to Australians and former rugby players! stay away with your petty comments. Crawl back under the rock (or chip) you crawled out from or back to your Pauline Hanson owned Fish & Chip shop.
