It's Foxtel or the Pub I'm afraid.

I think it's only Oz games and all the finals on Ch 9 (LIVE). Others are delayed.

But for the occasional use, these freebies aren't bad. Tunnel Bear works on a Mac though and you get decent speeds on the freebie, but not a huge monthly allowance.
Expat Shield has been working a treat streaming ITV though, but it has been having issues with the BBC iPlayer, which is a noted problem as of a few days ago, and likely to be fixed within the next few days apparently.

It is if you use it a lot, strongvpn is a good one.

I'm running through it now in fact and it's all good.

It was delayed in Sydney. Fugger all on here this weekend. Channel 9 only care about league. They even screw over cricket these days. Useless channel and they have the low audience they deserve.

Re: Rugby World Cup 2011 Thread
Fantastic win for the Irish last night, watched in a pub in Melbourne that was packed solid with Irish supporters, the win made the $10 a pint beer not leave such a bitter taste in the mouth 
England have probably made harder work of it than needed but looks like it will be comfortable in the end, well done Georgia for giving it a solid go.
The powers that be have shot themselves in the foot by awarding the coverage to 9, what shocking coverage and in an international team sport that Australia really has a great pedigree and a chance of winning. Down here in Melbourne it virtually feels like the RWC is none existent. Next time give it to SBS, a truly world class channel that knows how to put on great international sporting events.
