Rugby fans the world over are keenly anticipating the Rugby World Cup 2019. This is the ninth iteration of the Rugby World Cup and is set to run from 20 September to 2 November. The host nation for rugby’s biggest international event will be Japan, with cities throughout the country holding matches in their stadiums.
Of the 98 nations that qualified, a total of 20 have won places in the tournament. New Zealand are hotly tipped to win following their victory at the 2015 and 2011 events, though of course there’s every chance another nation could beat them to the win.
Updates & News
The upcoming Rugby World Cup 2019 is sure to be the highlight of rugby fans’ calendars. Dozens of nations throughout the world are set to broadcast all of the tournament’s 48 matches in full length.

There’s a wealth of information to be found here, including a full schedule for the tournament, statistics for all the teams taking part and information about all of the host cities.
Once the Rugby World Cup gets underway, the official website will offer complete live coverage of all the matches, giving you real-time scores and commentaries, along with detailed blog posts. You’ll also find just as much information available at plenty of other sites, including the sites of the broadcasters showing the matches.

No doubt many Rugby Union fans will want to watch as many of the matches in real time as possible. For those who miss matches for one reason or another, there are highlights shows that offer a recap of the most recent matches – and you can follow the live scores from every game via the Planet Rugby live score centre. While highlights shows can be helpful, especially if you’ve missed a match or two, there’s nothing quite like watching the matches live. With streaming available on all sorts of handheld devices, you don’t have to miss out on the action even if you’re out and about.
If you’re a keen rugby fan and want to keep up with the Rugby World Cup, you’ll have plenty of providers to choose from for live streaming. The question is: will it be a third consecutive victory for New Zealand, or will another nation win? If so, which team will it be?
