No idea. I've been trying to find it, but it's not mentioned on the any of the websites of the usual places.

It's looking like it's going to be home alone with the radion on! :-[

Mediazone don't have it either - what they do have is only for US folks.

That said - it's a good source - I'd never heard of it.

Ok, I could be wrong about mediazone - I just took another look.

they do have it - I just can't figure out the pay per view bit.

They do have it, but looks as though you have to buy a 4 match pass for US29.99 - I am away for the rest of the England matches so would really want to just pay for today's game.

There seems to be an option for a one off match fee of US7.99, but cant find how to purchase that.......?

Download TVU for free and watch it on ESPN Star sports. You will need to click the ESPN channel just above Star Sports. I have checked the listings and if we have a connection then it will be on. Starts about 5.30pm Finnish time. Had a problem last night but is working today.

Download the viewer and it's all go.

Should have said the mediazone is not the best quality - since TVU is free I would rather not pay for bad quality. TVU is far from perfect but it does enough to see whats on.

I did get to watch it on Mediazone - the pay per view option appears only 5 mins before kick-off.

And one hell of a game it was, too!

Some games are only available in certain markets, but some are available here.

anyone wanting to watch France - All Blacks can see it on free-to-air TV5 Monde (French commentary) or via mediazone for €7 with kiwi commentary.

I'll go with the French, which I don't speak, but do enjoy the frequent cries of "oo la la, les all Blacks ces't maginifique, no?"

I zapped in and out of the All Blacks game. French seemed to be taking a hammering. Looked kinda rough too. Those guys are scary.

Why listen to it when you can see it!

I really recommend medizone - the pic quality was great, audio from NZ, and at around €5 as cheap as the beer you'd buy if it was in a bar!!

Tonights game will again be on Tv5 Monde, but I think I'll watch the England - Boks game on mediazone.
