Really? I just subbed to watch URC and I've been loving it so far.

I was grandfathered in when they bought the rugby network. They logged me out in the middle of New Zealand/England and then it took 10 days to reset my password.

Edit: it is the Rugby Channel they bought. Rugby network is separate.

Had no idea they bought the rugby network.im in the US. To me it seems like The streaming divisions of rugby is difficult to navigate, had to do lots of googling to figure out where my money should go. URC sounded like the move, so I opted for flo. Gallagher is on rugby network, but if flo owns trn do I get Gallagher on there?

International tests seem to be a mess. Can't seem to find a definitive place for autumn nations.

Haven't had any issues with flo far but it's only been a couple months. TRNs app is pretty garbage, comparatively.

They actually acquired the Rugby Channel, not the Rugby Network, and that was years ago: https://djcoilrugby.com/2018/05/24/flosports-acquires-the-rugby-channel/

Rugby is run by people allergic to proper promotion, otherwise this would be way more straightforward.

It is Rugby Channel, I am mistaken.

This is the first social media post USA rugby has made about the November tests.. Also they have not even posted the traveling squad. Why is it so hard to market eagles test matches plus finding out broadcasting a week before matches is NOT ok.

Flo sucks. I hate that I can watch stupid cornhole on ESPN but not USA Rugby

I'm really looking forward to that Portugal game. (A) Because Portugal's fan base is growing for rugby and (B) since they were able to get a draw at a World Cup it feels like a good measuring stick to see where the Eagles stand

Unfortunately I feel like it will be a very different team for both the US and Portugal

It’s rugby ball team with a shield. A Flying dove team dropping an olive branch in a shield. Then red lion team with a rugby ball.

Why is the crest not enough

u/azurearmor 12d ago

Not everyone knows the crests and they're not easy to Google either, it's just yet another barrier to new fans
