Rugby World Cup coverage

Post by soda » Tue Aug 07, 2007 2:58 pm

Any ideas on how best to see the RWC live?

Mediazone only have internet TV rights on a 24 hour delay basis - i.e. a complete waste of time and money.

The French games will be shown on TV5, I assume...but any ideas on how to watch the other big games?

Elmo Sports & Grill http://www.elmobaari.com/ AFAIK has "all the channels"* and they do have a separate tuner for all the small table-tv's for the compartments, so theres variety. Painobaari has also had a crowd, and the other sports pubs in the centre. You just need to find out what game is on what channel say from http://www.telkku.com and go and ask. If it ain't shown live off a satellite here, then you're SOL, but Ryanair flies to Dublin, as I said to someona asking about GAA ;)

Thanks for that, Hank. I've seen a couple of games at Painobaari in the past, and that's a decent place if their signal works, which it doesn't always, apparently.

If the games were being shown here on any of the 'normal' channels I could watch at home, and I have Canal+, but I doubt they'll have rugby.

The strange thing is, I can watch Formula One live via the MTV3 website - but not the rugby via the Mediazone website.
