Unlike in other countries, all 48 Rugby World Cup games will be live and free-to-air in Ireland
That’s not the case in a fair chunk of the rest of the globe – while most countries will be able to watch their own teams’ games for free, in many cases the rest of the tournament will be behind a paywall.
RTÉ and Virgin will each show two of Ireland’s pool games live – Virgin kick off with coverage of the opener against Romania on September 9th, RTÉ will then have the games against Tonga and South Africa, on September 16th and 23rd respectively, before Virgin finish up the pool phase of the tournament with coverage of Ireland’s meeting with Scotland .
If – and not when, – Ireland make it to yet another quarter-final, Virgin will beam it live in to your livingroom, while “Ireland’s semi-final”, as we mentioned, will be on RTÉ.Jacqui Hurley will be your main host on RTÉ, with Daire O’Brien presenting a round-up of all the action and talking points each Monday on Against the Head.
Over at Virgin Media, Joe Molloy will be the master of ceremonies, accompanied by Rob Kearney, Matt Williams, Andrew Trimble, Fiona Hayes, Grace Davitt, Eimear Considine and Ian Madigan. Dave McIntyre will be the chief commentator, with Alan Quinlan alongside him, while Tommy Martin will be pitchside in France.
