Pity it doesn't start at say 8.15 rather than 10.15. I suspect this may put a lot of people off who will record it from TVNZ. I suspect that the streaming load will not be as high if it was earlier.

eh, i thought it's 11.15?

Get back to you tomorrow! But the fact is, from what has been advised, is that load is not an issue. I., nit stating I am right, but that is what we have been advised, hopefully load is not the issue.

ENG vs AUS is 8-15

NZ vs IRE is 11-15

I assume these are kick off times as TAB has them also.

Well what a warm up to tonight's rugby feast. A 44 39 belter between Hawkes Bay and Otago. Required 10 minute each way extra time to find a winner. Either team deserved to win but being a Magpie happy as to see the guys go threw to the final.

Yes you're correct. 11.15pm. I won't be staying up to watch it. Watching the Eng Vs AU at present. Great picture.

It's been perfect here too.. Even though its load balanced onto the slower connection.

Tbh I had thought I would have to specifically throw a priority rule in for RWC. But nothing seems to phase the stream here...

Stream via the app on my Samsung TV is solid this evening - no quality issues either. Working very well!

When cell phone keyboards made it a difficult character to find and type.

Stuff is just getting in before the ABs game falls over again.

Spark sport FB page is overwhelmed again. Guess those 17,000 customers they helped didn’t solve the problem lol

No problem here so far. Kodi on Sony 4K 7000D. Excellent quality and no buffering what-so-ever.

Though I have to say, the regular Spark Sport app took an age to jump up from trash quality when I first loaded it tonight, so that didn't leave me with confidence.

I suggested lower prices at this end of the RWC because there is an opportunity to increase market penetration, if not market share, and expose more people to the wonders of Spark Sports.The next opportunity to attract many of us will not come around for another 4 years, if at all.

Probably because people are on mobile phones where the colon is on a shifted key so it requires a long tap or two additional taps (to change to the symbol keyboard and back).
