So I'm watching the match and then suddenly ads? TVNZ strikes again. Absolutely fuming.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-27T03:39:19.000Z

yeah nah they don't give a toss, just want ad revenue

Ella Thompson2026-06-27T03:08:19.000Z

classic TVNZ, cutting to ads at the worst possible moment. they couldn't care less about the fans 🙄

Ruby Fraser2026-06-27T03:17:19.000Z

It's the World Cup and they can't even get the basics right. Embarrassing for NZ broadcasting.

Ella Thompson2026-06-27T04:15:19.000Z

I mean, come on. It's 2026 and TVNZ still can't figure out live streaming? PATHETIC.

Kai Thompson2026-06-27T04:43:19.000Z

Worked late shift, finally sat down to watch, and this happens. Bloody joke.

Drew Parker2026-06-27T04:52:19.000Z

how hard is it to have a proper stream? absolute incompetence from top to bottom

Ella Thompson2026-06-27T05:22:19.000Z

lol cope more, just use a free stream like the rest of us

RNZ2026-06-27T05:15:19.000Z

I swear this has happened before in the Rugby World Cup too. They never learn.

Finn Walker2026-06-27T05:30:19.000Z
