Super Rugby Pacific 2022

Hi @Izzie-T 

 

Can you check on your spread sheets if NOW / Sky have the UK Broadcasting Rights for this up and coming Rugby Union Competition starting mid February 2022.

 

Being a big Rugby Union fan i hope the information in this link website below is accurate.

Looks like Sky have just finalised a deal with SANZAAR until 2025 😁.

 

Just checked the Sky TV planner and there is a number of Super Rugby matches starting from Friday and over the Weekend on Sky Sports Action 😁.

Hi @schnapps 

 

I confirmed that we do not currently have the right for this Super Rugby Pacific 2022.

 

Thank you.

Hi @Izzie-T 

 

If it does pop up on your spreadsheet before the competition starts in the middle of February, then please would you mind updating this thread.

 

Thanks.

Since i last checked the official Super Rugby website link, they have removed the UK & ROI Broadcaster that was Sky and the section towards the bottom of the screen (where it once was) is now blank 😠 (only Sky Italia remains).

 

I hope this tournament is picked up by somebody in the UK and for me with my subscriptions i don't mind either Sky or Amazon.

Disappointed about this news that it looks like to watch the 2022 Super Rugby Pacific in the UK you will have to fork out a SANZAAR Rugby Pass 😠.

 

https://super.rugby/superrugby/news/super-rugby-pacific-goes-global-with-sanzaarrugbytv/ 

 

I couldn't find anything on their website about supported players, but my guess it will be via a PC /Mac or mobile device 😠.

 

I tried clicking on the buy pass on their website and it said my device (Fire HD tablet) wasn't compatible 😠.

 

Unless you can watch on a television screen, then i won't bother (where my opinion sports should be watched on a large screen and not a computer screen, tablet or smartphone).

 

Think i will just watch the three to five minutes video clips of the games on YouTube.

I hope both of you schnapps will be very happy with this outcome 😛

Set a Payment PIN on your account so that no-one but you can buy memberships on it. Check your bank accounts monthly for any other unexpected payments to Now. That way you can at least nip them in the bud, while you and Now figure out whose fault they are.

Hi @ContentTeam 

I am trying to watch the Crusaders v Chiefs round 1 Super Rugby game which has just been added to the Rugby Union on Demand section and the sound is making a loud hissing noise.

Only tested on my Amazon 4K Fire Stick NOW App.

Can you double check your end and fix the sound issue please.

Hi @ContentTeam ,

The constant loud hissing noise is also on my BT Youview 4K box.

So it must be an issue on the Crusaders v Chiefs round 1 on Demand content folder.

Please can you get the relevant NOW Team to sort out, where there is only a 6 day window to watch this match.

Just tried the Waratahs v Brumbies round 1 and that is playing fine.

Hi @ContentTeam 

The constant loud hissing noise is also happening to The Highlanders v Blues Round 1 on Demand added this afternoon.

Also the Crusaders v Chiefs Round 1 on Demand folder is still making the constant loud hissing noise reported above.

Hi @ContentTeam 

Also add Mona Pasifika v Fijian Dru Round 1 to the list of the loud constant hissing sound.

So far only Waratahs v Brumbies Rd 1 has no sound issues and playing fine for me.

Hi @ContentTeam 

Any news ?

I am desperate to watch both the Crusaders v Chiefs game only 1 day left on Demand.

And Highlanders v Blues game only 2 days left on Demand.

Will be extremely disappointed if this doesn't get resolved and I miss watching both games.

Hi @ContentTeam 

Any news when The Blues v The Brumbies Round 2 will get added to catchup ?

Would have thought it would have been uploaded by now.

Hi @ContentTeam 

There is a labelling error on the Force v Reds folder Round 2, where if you actually open the folder and start watching it the game is The Blues v The Brumbies.

Hi @ContentTeam 

Any news when the final match of Round 2 The Force v The Queensland Reds that was played on Sunday morning just gone will be added on catchup?

From the six number Round 2 matches played on the weekend only five are up on Demand with the final sixth match Force v Reds still not available to watch.

Hi @schnapps 

got a response re Round 2 The Force v The Queensland Reds. Unfortunately they are unable to take this on demand due to this accidentally not being fully recorded from the live tx

Thanks
