Basically allows me to stream my laptop screen to you lot. You just need to download the program and I'll put a link and password to the stream on here (once I've got round to setting it up).

Here should be the link to the stream: https://discord.gg/uaxBxbP

If you all check it to make sure that it works okay - you should be able to log in now, it's just there'll be nothing happening till Sunday at 7.30pm.

I'll also put a youtube link up on the day for those who are Discord averse. I'd recommend watching through Discord, as we can all watch and have it synched together, but for those who can't get it to work, you can at least watch in sort-of synchrony with the rest of us.

I’ve never tried live-streaming anything on YouTube but I know it’s a thing. Is that doable? I got through most of the Samoa game but then it got a bit too sketchy to handle. No idea if that’s down to discord or not though.

Although definitely don’t do anything on my account, I find Sunday’s difficult, but just a thought.

I did try looking into streaming on Youtube, but I couldn't find a way of doing a live stream of a video, rather than a camera. The only other option I found than Discord was twoseven, which is a bit crashy for my tastes.

This week should be better anyway - the source file for Samoa was utter trash, which is where most of the problems occurred.

On the Sunday, we ended up there simply because I had a one-off something on the Saturday evening of the first week that we did this and it's turned into a tradition. Does anyone else have a preference as to the day? Would Saturday evenings be better for folks?

I can’t do Saturday due to a weekly quiz but I’m hardly a regular so, if it suits the majority....

More Cameron Diaz doesn't sound like a bad thing.

[Danno]

I'm free for either day.

You might risk copyright takedown if you stream on YT, they're more active than Discord in that sense. Could risk it (use a specific, disposable account for it) and switch to Discord if you end up getting rumbled.

[loudnconfident]

Sunday better for me. But I find I have the game on DVD - with Aussie commentary for some reason

[Greebo]

Sunday better for me, but am happy to go with the majority.

[Puja]

Hello? Anybody here?

Puja

[loudnconfident]

just arrived - but my my dvd of the match as well

[loudnconfident]

I remember this was a Sunday am match - I spent that w/e at Mums so watched it there rather than with friends. Mum was shocked at my language in the first half

[Puja]

The days when Shane Williams was an outside the box selection.

shoulder to the head on robinson. red cardtoday..

[Puja]

Hell of a start! All going according to plan - England dominating chippy Wales. And, as I say that, shocking miss from Wilkinson. And then Thompson showing his inability to hit a cow's arse with a banjo.

Puja

[Puja]

Try saving tackle from Wilkinson there.

And no-one following the kick by Wilko. I can understand they thought he'd slot it, but anyway..

[Puja]

What a weird clearance routine from England. Looked like Wilkinson changed his mind and hurried a kick, but I can't work out what they were intending to do.

Puja

[Puja]

Thompson is a liability.

Puja

[Puja]

Was that Dallaglio who did that cross-kick!?

Puja

[Puja]

We're a lot better than I remember us being. We're dominating the game and deserve much more than a 3 point lead on the run of play.

Puja

[loudnconfident]

The Oz commentators said so - and mentioned LD turning down the kick vs Wales in 5N 99..

[loudnconfident]

I think I'll go for a beer - return 10 mins into 2nd half...

[loudnconfident]

Bad feeling about the next 10 - I think I'll go for a beer - return 10 mins into 2nd half...
