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 here, the Rugby World Cup 2011. 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 them take the most recent Six Nations tournament! I won't be holding my breath though, my heart is all for England but I'm struggling to see past New Zealand to win the World Cup at home although a close friend and rugby fanatic has put a fiver on Australia so there's a tip for you. Judging by the Tri-Nations it is going to be a very close tournament with all of the Southern Hemisphere big guns capable of beating each other, will England, France, Wales or Ireland be able to take advantage?

The Rugby World Cup starts on Friday the 9th of September 2011 with the final due to be played on Sunday the 23rd 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.
