Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Am I the only one that likes Sky's coverage? Okay, so maybe it's a bit of a 'guilty pleasure', but I just love it! Sure it's cheesy as f**k, but c'mon, let's compare it to the RWC (itv, rte, setanta etc), it's absolutely streets ahead in terms of production value. Sure the commentators are often so bad they're just wrong, and the analysis is basically a form of masturbation for studio lads, but it's worth it with all the gloss, camera work, music, arrangement etc., etc.
I re-watched Leinster's final, and even from the get go before the match started I was like, 'Wow.. this sh*t's all over the RWC final'. And when the players are getting attention we're treated to beautiful slo-mo and sped up replays and shots.. it's like watching a feature film. I love it. I remember being at Cardiff and seeing Sky TV crews all over the place and saying to myself 'Can't wait to get home and re-watch it!'
Today was a great example of some of their work - the half time re-cap of the Munster match had some great shots, they always catch the right things in the crowd/stadium and compile them with some great music over some gameplay action. You really feel like you're getting your money's worth.
Cheesy, but when you've got the substance and quality of premium rugby as the main feature it works oh so well.
... so, rant over!

Nothing is more cringe worthy than Paul Wallace looking lovingly into the eyes of Will Greenwood. I was sure they were going to make out at some point today. Although Wally probably saves that for the ad break. Wouldn't want another Belgrano incident, he might get sacked0 -

Some poor stuff. Berdos is letting people away with murder at the breakdown and it's making for a poor game to watch. Good shoeing there from Glasgow. Hooper gets danced on, torn jersey and all for his troubles from some good footwork!
Glasgow hit the front. Come on the Weegies!
Also, obligatory "Richie Gray is bloody awesome" comment.0 -
