England rugby
Hi guys
Does anyone know where you can watch the upcoming England rugby tests before the World Cup?

Re: England rugby
Would have thought it would have to be online - if you are thinking 'sport viewing in NZ' you'll find precious little that doesn't directly involve NZ - for example, the last Olympics the coverage on national TV was pathetic - if a sport didn't feature some NZ competitor (usually failing to make the semis) it did not exist...

Re: England rugby
There are plenty of streaming services available online. Providing you don't have a data cap, I find this a really useful way of watching sport. I use one religiously for my UK sport fix.

Really?? Please share, I have yet to find one apart from FanPass, which is more expensive than Sky!

Re: England rugby
Have you seen the latest? There's a move to open pubs early so that they can show the World Cup Rugby games - but only for the New Zealand matches!? Typical.

Re: England rugby
I think they're now looking at extending license hours for all matches, not just New Zealand
After all, they'd be missing out on income if/when the All Blacks get knocked out at the Quarter Final stage. At least having Australia, England and Ireland games will get viewers into the bars

I'd also be interested to know what streaming services might show the tests.

I use this. I didn't post it earlier as I wasn't sure of the forum rules.

Re: England rugby
ITV is showing it so presumably will be on ITV player live, and possibly delayed.

Re: England rugby
It might depend on whether they pick the form players or stick with the old guard? Some like Carter, Mealamu, Woodcock, even Conrad Smith are looking pedestrian now. But I can't see the young bloods like Sopoanga or Fekitoa getting the nod for a big tournament game. And can I just say - I cannot stand Kieran Read. If he's the next captain on NZ, God help 'em. What's with his attitude?
