Live match chats
Per-match rooms · joining the next whistle
A chatroom per fixture. Open from the time the lineups drop, busy at kick-off, archived when the final whistle goes.
How it'll work
- One room per match. Lineups posted, kick-off countdown, the whole thing tied to a fixture from the URC, EPCR, Six Nations or the Rugby Championship — pick the comp you care about.
- Threaded big moments. Tries, yellow cards, TMO reviews each get their own thread off the main feed so the timeline doesn't bury what mattered.
- Cool-down after the whistle. The room stays open for an hour for the post-mortem, then locks. Searchable archive.
- Reactions, not noise. Light reaction set (🏉 try, 🟨 card, 🤔 questionable, 🔥 quality), no GIF spam.
