Is there a way to watch the games live? I want to watch the games live. Or at least not wait three days like I had to last time, per the official World Cup page protocol.

I watched Six Nations Rugby a few years back to see what the game was all about. I enjoyed it. Will have to see if they are showing any World Cup games on the channels that I currently get.

heres another excerpt from the guardians team canada preview

on Cudmore ... they left the part out about the whole throwing a party when he was 19 and his neighbour getting murdered

Canada’s World Cup will be a far shout from the glories of 1991, when Al Charron, Gord Mackinnon, Stormin’ Norm Hadley et al pushed New Zealand in the quarter-finals, and 1995, when Rod Snow and co battled the Boks at Boet Erasmus. A hero of those campaigns and two others, the fly-half Gareth Rees, had something to do with the award to this year’s squad of magnificent blazing-red blazers, however. Thus properly attired, this at least looks like a proper Canadian party.


Cudmore is certainly any World Cup-watcher’s idea of a proper Canadian rugby player. From a rough-and-tumble background in the Pacific north-west, like other players a sometime logger, he became a hugely successful professional, the proud owner of a bar, a nightclub and a vineyard. He will not play at a World Cup again. He nearly didn’t make his fourth, thanks to struggles with concussion. Catch him while you can.

It appears I need a UK VPN to use ITV. I might be able to pull this off.

Do you get Fox Soccer Plus? If you have a package with the NHL Network there's a decent chance that you do. They might have it, I used to watch Aviva Premiership on there on the weekends when I got it.

Fiji down a man too. Not looking good for them

 

[DragonfromTO]

And just as I hit "post", Fiji scores. What a jinx I am.

Edit: looks like they might not allow this, my juju may be safe

No, I have no such package, unfortunately.

Well, if you just looked at the final score (50-7 for Ireland), you'd think the Irish had a cakewalk, but the Canadians showed lots of moxie (especially in the second half). Considering it was 29-0 at halftime, a pretty good 2nd half for Canada.
