All the digital channels are on Foxtel.

I taped it and watched at 7:00 am this morning.

**** watching it in the middle of the night, you cant enjoy it that way.

As for England - I thought they played alright.

But if they're gonna beat the Aussies they need to play the percentages.

How many times did they turn it over or give a penalty away?

Too many times Australia were starting their set from 60-40 metres out from the England tryline.

They can forget about beating a team with Slater, Inglis, Thurstan and the like by doin that.

They have to complete their sets and kick to the corners.

Make Australia go 100 metres or forget about it.

Refereeing was ****e. Good effort England

Australia was very lucky to win the game. If you're thinking Australia got the rub of the green in the refereeing I'd be inclined to agree on the most part.

The Kangaroos wouldn't have won without the cool heads of a couple of the experienced guys, fellas who are used to winning (eg Cam Smith)

I was surprised with how long the defence were allowed to hold the ball player down

Is the international rule different to the NRL?

I actually thought the refereeing was pretty good for the most part.


Don't know about any difference with rules, but I watched the game with one of my In-ger-lund mates and he commented more than once how well he thought the ref had done. He did get annoyed at the pommie ill discipline however.

I've never seen mate on foxtel... I have hd so I'm happy with that.

Nope scratch that, I have the hd channels but not 7mate or gem etc. After googling it apparently you get it on cable but not satellite, whatever that means.

That just means some areas like Sydney have cable connections (from power poles or underground) and interstaters use satellite dishes on their roofs.

Haha you want to know how stupid the whole austar/foxtel **** was. On the gold coast I lived on chevron island. On one street I was living for 4 years I had to have austarl. Foxtel apparently didn't do that area. I then moved a couple streets down, I'm talking maybe 300mt down the road, I then had to have foxtel as austar didn't service that area. I then moved to bundal about 1km away from where I was and I had to revert back to austar as they classed that as a regional area. Talk about a **** up.

Try explaining that to these ********s on the phone about it, it got worse after foxtel bought austar out, because even though I was with austar I still spoke to foxtel initially just to be put through to the austar division who answered the phone as foxtel. Crazy stuff lol

I moved next door literally in the same unit block.

From 3/14 yacht st to 4/14 yacht st.

I had foxtel in unit 3, they can't hook it up in unit 4 due to old wiring in the building..........

I now have to run foxtel through my xbox 360. It's ****in stupid
