Who are we fancying for top try scorer?
Im thinking Telea or Jordan or Penaud.
SouthAfricanScottish gun Duhan Van Der Merwe is a good shout. 20 in 31 tests so far.@MN5 said in Rugby World Cup general discussion:

@Tim said in Rugby World Cup general discussion:
Anyone know the broadcast format for the tournament? Will it be 2160p50?
Stan is claiming they're broadcasting in 4K UHD which is 2160p IIRC?
-
@Tim said in Rugby World Cup general discussion:
@Nepia yep that's 2160. Hopefully will be at 50fps too.
I assume it will be, it's generally 50fps for the rugby on Stan.
I'm fucking glad Kayo don't have it, they'd probably run it at 720p.

What's all this about then?
(livestream on Stuff starts at 5.45am, kickoff at 7.15am)
... this looks like actual coverage of the game, but... how have I not heard about this before? Is it just because I'm a hermit, or... am I misinterpreting this?
Edit:
A dedicated multimedia hub located on Stuff features 12 streamed games, including live coverage of the opening match between the All Blacks and France, two quarterfinals, a semifinal and the RWC final, ...
... and all the AB pool matches delayed.
But - they seem to be keeping it remarkably quiet - presumably as part of the deal with Sky. -

It is free to air on Sky Open (one of thier free channels) I think the other pool games are delayed on Sky Open too.

I must I am very impressed with Stan’s rugby options. The back catalogue of content is great, can’t really recall an error or problem with the steaming function or the app itself.

Yeah, I think I've had maybe two errors, contrast that with Kayo which is freaking terrible. I don't think I've watched a Warriors match that hasn't dropped down to 480p at some time, glitched, bounced back a few seconds etc.

Games will indeed be livestreamed on the Stuff website, in addition to their live blogs.

And Foxtel want you to be grateful to the point of you licking Uncle Rupert's wrinkly old taint.

@canefan said in Rugby World Cup general discussion:
Even Fozzie's flops should be able to escape this pool, surely?
I don’t see Namibia or Uruguay causing the ABs many problems, but if they play as poorly against Italy as they have done in the last two games then they could plummet out of the tournament at the end of pool play.
