Western Force v Hong Kong - 10 August 2018

Although the commentary still needs a bit of work the camera work on this game is excellent.

Close-ups and wide angle shots at appropriate times.

I have to say I noticed that as well. They don't seem so welded to the fixed camera and aren't afraid of going to some of the other angles, even during play. It is a subtle thing and a fine line to walk, but it does make the broadcast more engaging.

Story on P53 of todays Sunday Times, "McGregor slays the Dragon on Force debut". Cant find it online...yet.

Can you snap a pic on your phone and put it up in case it doesn't go online. They seem a bit hit and miss and then I don't have to go and buy the paper, Ha ha.

Ha. Here it is

WESTERN Force full-back Jack McGregor introduced himself to World Series Rugby in stunning style with two tries in Friday night’s 45-24 victory over Hong Kong Dragons.
The talented McGregor, pinched from the Melbourne Rebels, was one of his side’s best performers in his starting debut at nib Stadium.
It was the normal playmaker’s first game at No.15 at the higher level and the 21-year-old has no regrets about leaving Super Rugby behind.

You will need to fast forward a good 78min or so before the game starts with that link above.

They looked rusty. They looked like they haven't played against any opposition in order to practice their combinations and defence.

I think they may get found out this Friday.

I shall still go & watch. And hope they train hard in the week.

Panasonic will be rusty it is a pre season match for them. Their first comp game is on the 31st.

[Sheikh]

It might be their last pre-season match, though, so they'll be wanting to get up to full playing speed

[FingerTips]

Does anyone know if the Panasonic team which will play on Friday night will be a full competition team or an "A"/Reserves team?

[Perth Girl]

I've heard that Robbie Deans said he will play a full strength team, as mentioned above its their last hit out before their season starts

BTW what happened with the indigenous dancers? Could hear sweet FA- and didn’t seem to be any singing. I’m sure they were more audible last time, were the mikes not working? I’d like to see it last a couple of minutes longer as well.

Yeah...no sound over the broadcast either..
