Do you know how long it takes for a rugby union game to hit on demand? I was having issues with my app this morning and missed the first half of Māori AB’s/ Ireland. Thought I’d be able to watch it as soon as it finished on the on demand function but it appears that’s not the case. Wish I’d tuned in at half time now!

Any help would be grand - cheers!

Hi @rbdaze 

Nothing on NOW Sports on Demand is added to their catchup Sports service immediately after the event has finished.

Rugby Union seems to be quicker than some sports to be loaded for Sports on Demand, where going on this year's Super Rugby i would expect around 6 to 12 hours time.

Ah no worries at all. Was foolish hoping on my behalf!

Will have to keep checking this evening then.

Cheers!

Hoping the rugby appears before I find out the result!

Hi @rbdaze @BeepBeepYeah 

If the game doesn't turn up before 9pm tonight on NOW Sports on Demand.

Then it's on a repeat broadcast at 9pm tonight on Sky Sports Action.

Might be a better option if you have Boost and if you are around at 9pm where you get 50fps on most playback devices.

Where if i can i try to watch the live Sky Sports channels because of 25fps playback on NOW Sports on Demand which spoils my viewing.
