That was a good match, I guess I was one of the lucky ones watching on Spark Sport, at least it didn't pack up entirely for me, although at times the resolution dropped to horrible. Still, when it was good, it was great!
I know that a lot of folk complained out SA supporters singing during the haka, they say it was disrespectful, but to me it seems like the proper response. Kind of like singing during a power cut, so the monsters don't get ya....

As much as I like the Haka I think we tend to take a liberty with it. Other countries get to sing just their National Anthem. We get to sing our National anthem twice (Maori and then English versions) and then on top of that a Haka.
I could be argued that there is some sort of psychological advantage to that, and, is a war dance really appropriate anyway? Yes rugby is physical but it is not gladiatorial.

Oh and if you want a good legal stream, and you have an android device, then try Mobdro.

Search for ITV. It is compatible with Chromecast.

It only dropped out once and reloaded straight away.
