Converted for Wigan 6:0 Warrington, after 9 minutes.

I've been a big fan of having RL on twitch since they first started doing it, currently on 17k viewers due to Twitch putting it on the front page, so a lot of new viewers to the sport, but they really need a mod team for the chat, as it is a mess

I always set the chat to "off" when I'm streaming on my TV. I like my RL full-screen.

Georgia Wilson in through Warrington's flakey right-side defence, but no conversion.

The score (the right way around this time) is Warrington 0:10 Wigan.

Georgia Wilson with a second try, almost immediately. Warrington need to re-shuffle their backs, because Wigan are targetting that side ruthlessly.

I've got it on my computer, but it's always interesting to see people who are new ask questions and things around what's going on

Good point; I now have it on both screens, so I can see the chat on my laptop while watching the game on the bigger screen.

Just be prepared for the sexiest and fat shaming comments too!

There are idiots everywhere.

I see quite a few comments that look like they are in Turkish or something similar, and the viewing figure is closing in on 20,000.

Online streaming platform, mostly for people to play games on. It has a huge viewership base, mostly with younger audiences

It was set up as a kind of video forum for computer gamers. People watch game footage and chat, exchange tips, jokes, chat, insults etc. It is a global network and I have very rarely been let down by the reliability of the live stream. Gamers won't accept slow or interrupted connections, and it is now owned by Amazon, so the infrastructure's probably as good as it gets. 

Some non-game channels have started using it, like this one for RL. I also watch Mystery Science Theatre and RiffTrax on it sometimes. The RL channel's been showing matches for about 3 years now.

[Futtocks]

This is a good match for players called Georgia. G.Wilson scores a first half hat-trick.

Warrington 4:24 Wigan

This is excellent Click.

Warrington 4:24 Wigan at

About 21,000 viewers by the end of the first half. This video feed SNAFU will turn a few off, mind.

Yeah, hopefully they sort it for the second half !

The picture looks stable again, but it is just the static HT screen, so we'll wait and see. Almost certainly a problem at source, as the stream itself wasn't buffering or acting up.

[Futtocks]

Everything working again, but (understandably) quite a few viewers lost for now.

Wigan straight in under the sticks, though. This is not going to get any easier for the Wire.

[Futtocks]

Georgia Wilson's fifth try now. 4:38 with KTC.

[Futtocks]

Warrington get in, with a good attack out wide, following a lot of pressure up the middle.

[JonM]

Really enjoyed watching that. 

[Futtocks]

Warrington 8:52 Wigan in the end, but Warrington's first match back in the top flight saw them fight hard all the way against a much better opposition. Lots of positivity on Twitch comments.

[Futtocks]

Just noticed that the same two clubs face each other in next weekend's Challenge Cup preliminary round on Twitch. With today as a benchmark, Warrington's target must be to reduce the difference between them and Wigan.
