We're Opening the Megafoon Clubhouse. Only 10 Get In Free First ! | Lunch Break

Welcome to Friday's lunch break. As you know we've been doing this now this past week for the last couple days. The response has been quite good. Happy with that. But today's not going to be about rugby so much.

Today I'm going to use the opportunity to introduce you to something else that we've designed. Now you've come to know Megafoen rugby over the past three or so years. You've come to know that we have a little bit of a different approach. We like to have many voices and many experts on this channel. Harry Jones, Hugh Griffin, Andre Petorius, Paul Avernant, Shogi joined us the other day from Ireland.

You know we're expanding our reach across the across the planet of which Ben Hering will be coming on board pretty soon. So there's a very big stable of actual rugby experts on this channel. And, you know, you can tap into that. And you all know, we've talked about our little WhatsApp group that we forgot going that all the people involved with Megafuyn have a chat with each other during the course of matches and everything else. And we started thinking, you know, you guys, our loyal followers, do not have access to that.

And we decided to make a plan. And for that, we created this Megafuyn Clubhouse. This is a community of Megafuyn followers and supporters. it's on an app called Circle that creates opportunities and creates communities. And what it is, it's basically a place that we can go get together, have a chat with each other.

It's divided into three tiers. A first level tier and a second level tier. The three tier is called Grandstand. You sit in the grandstand, you're part of everything, but there are things that are a bit more exclusive that the next tiers up only have access to So what do you get for Grandstand the three tier Firstly you obviously get access to our general chat room that we can talk to each other during the course of the week it might not be that busy because we not on this for 24 hours a day but you know there will be conversations going there Harry Jones's ramblings is on there we give Harry an opportunity to propose these ideas and thoughts you know Harry's got some very intricate ideas sometimes around statistics and the likes he invented CPR for the All Blacks, K.A.

kick attack for the springboks and the likes of the likes. And this is where he expands on it. But some of these articles, you know how he can write. Very well, good place to see that. There's also a space for what's called the bigger picture, my editorial, that I publish every week.

I like to take a bit of a bird's eye view of what's happening in the world of rugby, connect the dots, you know, see the bigger picture. So that's part of it. And we also publish our articles on here. We have some quite in-depth articles as well, where we go into statistics and things behind the scenes. And this is where you can find it.

So that's grandstand. That's what you get on the free tier. On the second level, which we call the press box, as you know, media members have access to stuff that normal people on the grandstands don't. That's your first level. For that, you get access to that chat room that I referred to that we will be talking to each other during the course of a match, and you can now join in with that conversation.

Have a chat with Andre or Harry, whoever's on the chat room on that day, or maybe everyone. It depends on who's where and who's available. And then obviously afterwards, we'll do a live reaction on YouTube, but we continue the conversation so that you can say what you saw what you thought what the ideas was how bad the ref was how good the ref was we were cheated we not cheated that kind of in you know exclusive conversation is what we be going on with afterwards and then in the main the biggest the highest level is we call it the coach's box now you know when I was at the bulls last March was it I was allowed access to absolutely everything at the bulls but I wasn't allowed into the coaches box that remains an exclusive area that no one gets allowed to accept for the coaches and we thought an apt name for the highest level in our clubhouse and for the highest level you get access one-on-one with you can speak to Harry or myself or whoever directly that's the kind of thing that we're talking about and then also events virtual events live events you'll be able to attend and get to meet some of the guys we have coming on the show Martin Devlin I'm just giving names I'm not saying they will be, but it's just an example of the kind of people that we might be involved with events. Yeah, so that's what the level is. So it's not live yet, so we need to test it.

We want it to be a LIGO live more or less around the time that the first test against All Blacks is going to be played. But for that we need to test it and I want to use this opportunity. I want to invite 10 of you to put up your hands and say that you want to be a part of this testing community. Come come beta test this community with us. And what you need to do is just put your name down in the comments below and I with Fari and everyone else we select 10 of those names Obviously we going to give preference to the existing members of the Megafoom channel the memberships members guys who are already members and then also we look out to the names of people that we know that we we come to know during the comments and you know that we know we can trust and whose opinion we can we can value so put down your name below don't miss this opportunity we'll get back to you as soon as we can what's in it for you to be part of this testing number one you get access to everything right from the start might be a slow start it might take a while to get off the ground but that's what you're here for to give us ideas and everything and then you'll have free access to all the levels in Megaphone Clubhouse until the end of November at the end of the Nations Championship so basically you're getting August, September, October, November four months for free and yeah for to say thank you for helping us test this thing so if you're interested in this let us know I'm quite excited about this Paul has been working very hard on it behind the scenes as well Harry's also been doing his bit yeah I want to expand this opportunity expand this community and get more of you involved in it I'm looking forward to seeing outgrows and everything else.

Like I said in the beginning, this is the difference between watching Megafoorn and being part of Megafoorn. I'm really forward to seeing your names down below. We'll resume these lunch breaks on Monday. Let's see how it goes over the weekend with the Curry Cups. This afternoon I'm talking to Ariel Hart for the weekend preview.

We'll have a look at all those Curry Cup games and whatever else has been happening in the world of rugby, including Thomas Albanoff now being cited for his disgraceful behavior towards Angus Gardner.
