Took that from Irish Rugby on the Twitter. Eir have the coverage of the tournament in ROI, ITV in the UK but they only show the semi finals and final live usually, which means the best way to watch the tournament is via World Rugby website streams etc. Will of course be doing tv/stream listings for this one.

Rule of thumb is if there is no live tv coverage of an Ireland game say in your jurisdiction then it should be on the World Rugby Site.

How many groups are there in the competition? This one has all the looks of a 'group of death' unless there's only one other group and it's France, NZ, Saffers and Argentina.

Aha, that looks more sensible. I assume three group winners and best second place go through: France, England, SA, NZ.

Should be able to watch on Eir sport channel with a Premier Sports subscription? I think they only block signal if a broadcaster is running the game also in UK jurisdiction. Or am I imagining that.....

Sounds logical. Aye you get Eir Sport 1 with the Premier Sports sub.

Thanks Neill, I think my logic is coming from RTE only block programmes when they are also licensed to a UK broadcaster.

We'll wait and see.

If it's logical then it certainly won't happen.

Ireland’s games will be shown live on Eir Sport in the Republic of Ireland, with ITV holding UK TV rights. If games are not shown live on TV, they will be streamed via World Rugby Online Channels.

For the 1st day of games ITV4 have a 1 hour highlights show on the Tuesday night at 11pm which fits with last year when they only showed the Semi Finals and Final live.

I guess the old vpn will come into its own here. We can pretend to be in Dublin and watch on the laptop.
