What sky channel will these games be shown on and do you know if the games get repeated at decent uk times? I might see if I can get a Now TV pass for a month or two.

They’ll be on the sky sports channels it tends to move round a bit. As for times the New Zealand games tend to be on around 8 am due to the time difference, but if you get a Now TV pass it won’t matter because they are always available

I only have a Now entertainment pass but once things are first shown on there they are available for a while. I’m assuming it’s similar for a Now sports pass

Just been looking into passes and sky do their own sports mobile pass for £5.99 a month. Then can probably cast to tv from your phone.

I remember being told by someone sky make casting from your phone not possible so not sure it's guaranteed.

Who else is up with bacon sandwich and a cup of tea in hand ready to watch some live rugby?

Team Mauger (Highlanders) or Team Gatland (Chiefs)

Good game, great finish with the drop goal from Gatland Jr to get one over his old man, refereed very well, particularly impressed by the Highlanders’ Ash Dixon & their maul as well as the Chiefs replacement lock Naitoa Ah Kuoi.

Not impressed that I could only watch on my phone and couldn’t ping it to the TV or Mac but that’s a gripe against the money-grabbing Sky and NowTV but boy it’s good to have rugger back in front of a crowd.

A good game, and an exciting finish. Felt that the Chiefs didn't really get going, but the Highlanders did well, especially going down to 14 on two occasions.
Their strengths - their pack, particularly the lineout and maul and their defence - remind me a bit of Tigers of old. Somewhat ironic I feel as when Mauger was with us, he was tasked to try to move away from a forwards based game.

Agree with JP14 -so good to see live rugby in front of a crowd.
