They are showing all Australia games, all matches from the quarter finals onwards, and selected pool matches.
South Africa vs Fiji is one of their matches hence why they are showing it.
Canada vs Tonga was not a Nine match.
Of course they don't do sport justice. But that is where the anti-siphoning list should make them show nationally important sporting events live, but the government aren't strict enough with it.
Rather selfish attitude. I am getting Fox in a couple of weeks as I have given up on FTA giving me the sport I want, but there are still 70% of Australians who miss out on live sport when they shouldn't have to.

When I went it was with a group of Kiwis and Irishmen. Seemed to be mostly ex-saffers, Kiwis, Poms, etc. Although still a lot of "home breds" if you could say that.

That is the upgrade to 22,500 which would be about right to get the Force fans in the gate who have been abandoning Subiaco. You would be close to selling out every week meaning a good atmosphere which can only help on field...
