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 watched this amid the carnage of a rag weekend trip to Malin Head. I don't think anyone else stirred for another 5 hours.

We are on for this evening (after my flakiness of the past few weeks), so anyone who is interested, we kick off at 7.30pm.

I've bowed out of this I'm afraid due to my Discord problems. Gerting a brand new hip on Thursday and plan to catch up with the games on Youtube whilst laid up and bored. Cheers Puja.

I've colonised the bedroom so I can run the upload through a CatV, rather than the WiFi. Hopefully should be good all round.

Josh Lewsey is a gem. Just leathering the French player and then diving on the loose ball.

That was a definite trip on Catt there. Stone cold yellow for Betsen.

That was a *nice* drop goal. Wilko was some player.

French defence has been ferocious.

Bloody Steve Thompson. I never remember just how bad his lineouts were.

That is a nonsense penalty. Dawson didn't actually cross behind Dallaglio, who was standing stock still, so there was no possible obstruction. Even the Aussie commentary team called it harsh, so it must've really been!

Mind, Michalak's missed it, so justice done.
