@Tim Probably via the World Rugby website or one of its sub-sites.
@Stargazer Thanks for the link. I couldn't find the official broadcaster's link. World Rugby streams are normally good, but I'll check out BEIN and Rugbypass too.

dunno if mentioned, you can use Air NZ Airpoints to get the pass too, 79.99 Air Dollaros

Didn’t know that. Got stacks of points too.
Working well tonight (so far) for the SA v Japan game

I must be an antique. Having constant issues trying to get my sparksport 'rugbypass' working to watch the SA v Japan match. Have given up on casting to TV (can't find my wifi network) and get stop/start on my android. Are other people having the same issues, or is it my setups that are to blame?

@Machpants Well Nick Berry has proven this whole year to be a shit ref. Clearly does not understand what a ruck is

If everything else fails ...

It's a very bad omen for the Spark's service when you visit the Spark Sport website to explore signing up when no games are on.... and you just get met with a blank black screen in your browser...

So far I have no regrets in not signing up.
New pub opening up in Matamata next week which will be showing the games which will be enough for me.

Tried to set up my sons ipad for it on the weekend and looks like it is too old for the version of software required to support the app so he's stuck with an old iphone 8 I had in the drawer. Small screen but will have to do him and he can of course you that device via apple play to get it on the big screen.

Speaking of; for those using Kayo Sports, you'll need a VPN to work if out of the country.

Hmmm i just had this too - thought i'd better get around to signing up.. in the office.. just figured it was to do with the firewall here. Are you at home and getting this?
how come I can't just open the bloody app on my TV and sign up via that!? just shows a log on screen.

It may be that the security of the TV platform (SSL certificate updates etc) may not be up to standard for payment processing.

Anyone know about streaming options in China for the World Cup? I'll be working there during it.

@WillieTheWaiter Yep, that was the black screen I was getting in Chrome. It seems to be working now at home though.

Thank you for your email.
Our Broadcast team have advised that when a broadcaster is confirmed they will be added to our website www.rugbyworldcup.com
If there is no confirmed broadcaster in your territory, the matches will be streamed via our platforms for your viewing.
We hope this assists.
Form letter from RWC website. Looks like it will be streamed by World Rugby in China. Hopefully the streams will be reliable.

So the live TVNZ and Sky coverage will be more "live" than those watching games on Spark Sport.
