Pissed off Kiwis, English - and a Sri Lankan

There was no coverage at all of the All Black/England game here in Sydney over the weekend. Not on free to air and not on Foxtel, apparently due to "copyright problems". Needless to say that means there are a lot of pissed off Kiwis and English.

But a mate of mine, originally from Sri Lanka and now living in Melbourne, might just be the biggest All Black fan I know. He's asked if I know anyone who has a tape of the match. He's desperate to get his hands on it.

If you can supply a tape, he (and I) will be eternally grateful. Send me an email in the "Director-General" link top right and I'll send the address.

You can infact buy the rugby online and download or stream it live through your browser, we had to resort to this while travling through the us on holiday.

If anyone is similarly caught short and can BitTorrent, there's a torrent here:

First half audio is "ref link" rather than commentary, which is quite interesting in itself ...

Cheers,

Thanks very much for the BitTorrent link, Russell. The ref's comments are interesting - you never get to hear most of them under normal circumstances. Just as the first bit of action unfolds you can hear him saying, "very fast, very fast."
