Rugby World Cup, Live Streaming Coverage

In life there are two types of people, Football (Go here for the football World Cup)and Rugby! If you're Rugby then what should be the highlight of your year is nearly here, the Rugby World Cup 2007. The Rugby World Cup for Rugby Union is a tournament that takes place every 4 years and features the best national teams from all over the globe. This year teams from Romania, the USA and Japan will get their chance to lock horns with the power nations of world Rugby like New Zealand, Australia and South Africa from the southern hemisphere and England, France, Wales, Scotland and Ireland from the Northern hemisphere. As a big England fan I'll be hoping that they can show some of the form that saw Johnny Wilkinson kick a last minute drop goal to beat Australia in the last world cup. I won't be holding my breath though, my heart is all for England but I'm struggling to see past New Zealand, France or maybe South Africa to win the rugby world cup.

The Rugby World Cup starts on Friday the 7th of September 2007 with the final due to be played on Saturday the 20th of October. Details of what live world cup Rugby is being shown between those dates can be found by following the all sports link on the schedules page.
