    I’m just sad that it seems that every single morsel of live sport has to be behind some kind of subscription paywall these days

    Found it purely by chance, about four minutes into the match. It was a cracker and always nice to beat the Aussies, which is becoming a regular thing in this sport.

    Plenty poo poo rugby union but matches like this are well worth watching. Crunching tackles (sometimes fair), running rugby, plenty of tries and an 80,000 crowd at Twickers. Oh how I've missed watching sport with proper crowds in like that.

    Amazon Prime is a bargain at £1.51 a day for a £79 annual membership for all the sport, films etc you get on top of the convenience of next day delivery on products that are already cheaper than if you had to wander around shops to get them yourself.

    I agree, there’s the free music as well but wouldn’t it be nice if the shisters paid a spot of tax every now and again?

    Absolutely. All the tech giants pay far too little tax. The billions they are all avoiding paying would help out our country a great deal.

    I try and buy from shops and real bookstores, but Amazon Prime has some cracking tv and sport.

    I would love to buy books from a real store. I have no interest in reading a book on a tablet looking at a bright screen. I still want a physical copy to turn the pages of. But when I bought the new Paul Merson book Hooked on Amazon for a tenner it was £16 at Waterstones as just one example.

    Incredible book too. Merse should win some awards for it. Excellent option for a Christmas gift for someone.

    Even bigger bargain for me - free with my Vodafone contract. They’ve a huge library of films and tv, most of which is included although some you have to pay extra to watch

    Don't even get me started on internet access, I have had to buy a 5G hotspot from 3 because my phone line is so far away from the exchange I'm lucky if I get 10/15 mb download on my "broadband", plus its not very reliable. I live in the city of Wakefield, not out in the country, no prospect of fiber optic as far as I can tell, my previous house which is less then a mile away we had cable over 20 years ago!!! Still not managed to make it to my current house - another thing our country is a joke for.

    This also really annoys me, half a games line-outs are missed cause of replays...

    On cloud 9 this morning after Ireland beating the All Blacks, might even watch it again!
