        ). Canal+ is a pay channel whereas TF1 is a free channel, but I don’t know if it’s possible to get TF1 in S Spain.

    TellyPass is an internet solution not a TV solution. If I had the bandwidth where I am, I have loads of programs that I can watch the rugby on. Unfortunately, I don’t. I am looking for a TV CHANNEL!

  • George

    What channel for Norway

    • Kevin

      Looks like were going to need to try Swedish Viaplay or pirate it :(

    • emjenny

      You can watch it on ITV which is UK base channel with the help of a VPN. ITV is free so you only need a VPN.

  • Vilisoni Tu’iniua NGalu

    • totalSPORTEK

      fiji tv

  • Eoghan Ó Muireadhaigh

    It should say – “United Kindom (England, Scotland, N. Ireland)” and Ireland should say “Rep. Ireland”.

    Good list thanks for putting it together

    • leparisien

      You must not be aware that it isn’t the Republic of Ireland, but instead “Ireland” as players from all four provinces play for the team.

      • KarlM

        In Rugby, Yes.
        In TV Broadcasting, No.

  • Robin Hobson

  • Grant Newsham

    This list speaks volumes as to why the worldwide viewing figures will be tiny. Also the small advertising fees tell you that as well.

    • John Smith

      Keep shilling liar.

  • Lebron Games

    Oh perfect thanks for this! Head’s up for the less tech savvy, get your hands on a VPN and easily access servers in the mentioned countries to access their streams. I’d suggest finding the cheapest one!
    Personal recommendation: Get a hold of PureVPN. Sh*t load of features and super cheap. something like 500 servers too!
