@henrycooke Tom is a great old-school journo. When I led the comms function at Spark and the team were gaming likely questions about a looming issue, we always focused on "what would Tom ask?". At the time he was covering the telco industry and his background knowledge was unrivaled.

@tmurphyNZ Could it be a World Rugby connection? They are headquartered in Dublin....

@Chazyeh @skysportnz @SKYNZ Exactly. Same problems here.

[Andrew Pirie @AndrewPirie1]

@kindagot @skysportnz Same here,very frustrating.

@pineynz @Ronaldingo14 Thanks for letting us know. Would have thought TVNZ would superimpose a short explanation on the screen once the Oz feed took over?

[Andrew Pirie @AndrewPirie1]

@liamnapiernz Sorta agree but academic, as penalty close to posts would have been slotted so same result

[Andrew Pirie @AndrewPirie1]

Any media here asking questions re NZ's position?

@DavidBrain @barneyronay @guardian Well, he got the "well to do middle aged tourists" bit correct!!!

[Andrew Pirie @AndrewPirie1]

@DavidBrain @Zabagon Yep. She was absolutely mortified.

@DavidBrain @Zabagon I seem to recall TLWG was mentioned !!!

@GuyHeveldt By my math, 75 overseas bowled day 1 (shortened by rain/bad light), 81 day 2, 83 day 3, 85 day 4. So total of 36 overs short of the 90 per day expected. I know ICC plays around with required overs a bit, but point is still that the game has lost time it shdnt have...

@pjsmellie @jennymeyer43 If it's the same one that was there a few days ago, it's the Mahoenui, reportedly owned by Mowbray family of Zulu fame.

@DavidBrain Haven't seen it but I felt similarly creeped out watching Spector on TVNZ+

@geonet A good rumble here in Picton

@DavidBrain Is that someone's tennis court on the edge?

Hey @FlyAirNZ do you have a problem today with your online bookings? My wife and I have just tried separately to book flights (using multiple credit cards) and keep getting msg saying the system can't process the cards...

@DavidBrain Does that make Japan the new Brazil?

[Andrew Pirie @AndrewPirie1]

@DavidBrain Jen and I finished watching it tonite. Absolutely superb.

@DavidBrain @YouTube Gotta pay for that bottomless pit at Wrexham somehow.....
