Rugby World Cup

[Yorkie]

I cut the cable cord a couple of years ago but would like to watch the upcoming rugby World Cup through my Roku. Any ideas how I can do that?

I can't wait to see Clever's chance to play a Final!
Oh...oh, wait a minute...

I would have carried interest if it was not football season

and missed the epic game on Thursday night of your home team

I like Rugby. I like Soccer (real football), but NFL carries the weight here.

I work with 3 South Africans. They are devastated. Funny thing is Japan hired the coach South Africa fired.

Well New Zealand nearly got beaten by Argentina. I like the way it's full of surprises

It really should have been a mere formality to beat Japan with a massive margin, yet the Springbok team opted to play the most lackluster amateurish game they probably have in the history of South African rugby, and good on the Japanese for capitalizing on this! Huge problems with team make-up and big game mentality in general and, given that rugby is a religion to many here in South Africa , a massive blow for their eager supporters on this end!

Watching the SA/Japan game I could only say that the team that wanted to win did. Did not see the game live, but had many expat friends that went to a bar in Jax to watch it. They were for the most part not amused. As for me, even as an expat I was hoping for a Japan win. It makes the pool easier for the US!

Yes indeed. It reminds me of the World cup final, New Zealand Vs South Africa, in Johannesburg 1995 where the entire All Blacks team mysteriously got food poisoning the night before the final and car alarms were set off in the early ours of the morning outside their hotel rooms.
