I thought it worked fine. €4.99 well spent. Certainly gave the ticker a working over, but that's typical Wasps . After all the years, I really ought to be used to it by now😂

Bit of a strange atmosphere there, crowd very loud at times and as mentioned in another thread were very pantomime, then extremely quiet but guess that’s French crowds for you.  commentator was ok but missed having the ref mic up loud as in the Premiership.

Yep, worked ok for me as well, had a couple of glitches in the second half, but managed without any swearing at my phone or the Chromecast. Glad Biarritz made a game of it.

The huge stand the camera was in was completely empty. The only crowd was in the old stand in front of the cameras. Small crowd but did the commentator say that the French still had crowd restrictions.

Wasps website said 7pm start.

I logged in at 7pm GMT and clearly the game was well down the line.

I started at the beginning and speeded up during breaks in play and half time.

When the game got to 67 mins the website switched off as I had clearly had my £4.99 worth.

WTF.

Yes, that surprised me. I haven’t been following France’s Covid situation but as they put us on their amber list and we had forms to fill out to use Le Tunnel crossing  to Germany I assumed things were better there.

I enjoyed the ‘minimalist’ presentation - no three lads giving us banter.  The commentator allowed the game to be the main focus.  I did miss the ref microphone though.
Will use this in the future - value for money I think.
