Two days and a few dollars late, but none-the-less… let’s get a little RWC banter going before the Springboks play their first match in defence of the title…
If you’re a Super Bru player and haven’t joined the @Solitude managed MEW RWC23 Pool, you get a Yellow Card! Take yourself to the Sin Bin for 10 minutes and use the time to reassess your life and to join the Pool at the same time!
Join Most Epic Win, my World Cup Predictor league on Superbru! You can find my pool here:

The official RWC23 website is pretty decent on both mobile and desktop, and the live scores and match updates are useful if you’re on the move.
Official apps are also available for both iOs and Android devices:
And if all else fails, there’s always good old Google to keep track of the matches, news, and table throughout the tournament: Google Rugby World Cup 2023
DSTV is the official South African broadcaster for the World Cup, so that’ll be the first place to look if you’re wanting to watch all the matches live. Alternatively, a late agreement made with the SABC should have all of South Africa’s matches and the final broadcast for free on the SABC channels.
“A total of 16 matches may be broadcast by the SABC, including the opening ceremony and opening match, all matches that the Springboks participate in, two quarter-final matches, one semi-final, the bronze final, the final and the closing ceremony."

As an alternative, you can try using the newly launched official, and free, RugbyPassTV streaming service. Unfortunately, as DSTV hold the regional broadcast and streaming rights in South Africa, doing so is technically illegal. Streaming the Rugby World Cup without DStv in South Africa is illegal. And the killjoys at Multichoice are already making an effort to further alienate the public already irritated with them: MultiChoice is hunting down illegal Rugby World Cup streaming sites.
If you do want to give a try anyway, and have a VPN ready to go, connect to one of the listed countries and then head to rugbypass.tv (I tried using SurfShark, but either didn’t do it correctly, or it doesn’t work.)
You can enjoy live and free access to all Rugby World Cup games on RugbyPass TV if you’re located in the following countries: Albania, Bulgaria, China, Cyprus, Greece, Hungary, Liechtenstein, Malta, Mongolia, Myanmar, Slovakia, South Korea, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Vietnam.
And, just for fun, get your vote in for the country you think will win this year:

- South Africa

We’ll keep the poll open until just before the first Quarter Final match on 14 October, so feel free to chop and change your vote as the teams show their form.
Will have to find the highlights.
