2017 ANZAC Tests - Jillaroos 16-4 Kiwi Ferns @ GIO

[Clifferd]

Yeah what a game

Wish I could watch it

 

[AJB1102]

Pissed I can't watch this. Assumed Fox would have as they've been talking the game up all week, oh and we have a dedicated League channel. Silly me thought that might mean international games were telecast.

 

[Billythekid]

I don't understand how it isn't?
There was a game before and after, it is being broadcast on the app with the same qualities of a telecast.
Just give this to fox as a freebie, we owe the merkins nothing, but the interest generated, even if it was minimal, would be worth it as opposed to blocking people from watching.

Yeah it would have produced a lot of good will much like the AFLW did. We can bang on about how manufactured that publicity was but it was great for the AFL.

Why have they been talking this game up this week only for no one to be able to watch it?

 

[DiegoNT]

Great defence. Some of the hits!

 

[beave]

Im a telstra customer, and the game was available on the app for about 10mins now the option has disappeared??

WTF?

Still available for me.
May have been during the half time break?

You can't click on the game menu at the top, have to click on the story on the main part of the page. Just another little hurdle for people to access the game.

Yeah the option is back now. Seriously, it shouldn't be this f**king hard. Sigh.

 

[Tommy Smith]

We now have a dedicated channel on fox for rugby league. How the f*ck did we not get this game shown live? Absolutely joke and once again shows the difference between the AFL and NRL. If this was an AFL match you would have been hearing about it for weeks.

The NRL admin continue to be the most incompetent bunch of f**kwits in all of Australian sport.

It's an absolute joke how this game, and the Juniors before it, is not televised.

Greenberg the Snake Oil Salesman and Grant the Turd simply must be removed from office.

 

[Clifferd]

Nrl blew a huge chance here unfortunately

From all reports it sounds like an amazing game and people watching it are highly entertained

Shame the nrl are complete geniuss, I thought they were dumb but not this dumb

 

[AJB1102]

If stupid was a competitive sport, NRL would be world champions year after year.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

If this kind of game was on free to air tv regularly it would build quite an audience. It makes the Mickey Mouse VFL PR spin bullshit women's fumble a thon look like the joke it is, but watch as it gets no press, even on the Aflbc that panders to women's sport at every opportunity. The NRL is so far off the pace on women's football. The World Cup was also a chance to make an impact but they ballsed that up too. The government has just handed over $500,000 for a six team tournament. If the NRL doesn't wake up to women's footy and international footy on the back of that they don't just need sacking, they need shooting.

 

[Timmah]

It's on free to air TV - at fulltime of the Men's game.

 

[no name]

Very entertaining game.
Obviously the standard is lower but still very entertaining.
Some great hits on display because the players don't worry about the wrestle. Makes for exciting play.
Would have done wonders if it was accessible to the average joe, not just footy nuts who actively go out of their way to find and watch it.

Until the channel 9 idiots on commentary spoil the score during the test coverage.

 

[1st & 10]

Who cares

 

[OzDragon]

If I wanted to hear women yelling for 80 minutes, I'd have commented on my GFs weight.

 

[Hutty1986]

The Jillaroos 19 is delightful.

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Ruan Sims also does a great job on the ABC commentary team tbh.

 

[wibble]

I was very impressed by the structure and game management from the Jillaroos, especially given their new halves. Showed a lot of professionalism for essentially an "amateur" side.

 

[ed-grimley]

The game was OK.
