Did you want to watch it in a bar ?? I am not sure what area of HK you live in but I am pretty sure the after 5 bar in Tai Po will have the games on ?? Can find this out later if you would like to know just pm me ...

Cable TV as in i-Cable?
Good grief.
I take it this is a stupid question, but what chance is there of getting an iCable subscription for anything less than one year???

What about other Rugby matches leading up to World Cup ie: last weekends ENG-FRA prior to start of World Cup?
Not that I wanted to see ENG appalling performance!
Please support our advertisers:
Our friends at the IRB have given the rights to different providers. Again, the Eng - France games were shown in most other Asian countries on ESPN/Star SPorts, but not in Hong Kong.
Have a look at Tim Noonan's excellent article in the Sunday SCMP (19 August) where he laments the fac that the bidding for rights by Cable TV and Now TV means that sports such as golf, tennis (grand slams) and rugby are spread across the two providers. No way I'm subscribing to both if they can't get their act together...

It's all about politics and I get fed up with this for years. Cable TV charges $289/month (18 months contracts). That's rather expensive. Anyone knows any live tv on computer?
Please support our advertisers:
who would show eng - france tonight?

you mean wales vs france tonight. i guess you either need to go to the pub with south african channel or pay for live internet tv.

Any advice on how we could live on the internet - here's the tricky part.... on a mac.

Looks great but unfortunately wont work on our Mac - despite what it says in the small print. :-(
Think I may be forced to get cable for 1 month to save our marriage :-)

TeamNZ - if you can actually get through to iCable's customer service, good luck trying to get them to agree to anything shorter than 18 months!
Alternatively - if you buy a cheap desktop or laptop with a decent graphics card, use that link - cheaper than getting iCable and you get a computer thrown in with it!
Also - if your mac is an Intel mac, get boot camp installed and you can run XP

yes, few times since early this year. it's good as long as you use fast internet service.
i have watched 2 test matches last 2 weeks. great!
i have asked cable tv but at least 18 months contract and be careful as it may not show all 48 matches. so no point to spend all that money for only one month special event.

Yes, we finally discovered the french channel yesterday in time to watch the Fiji/South Africa game.

Thanks so much for that information!! I can't believe how many games we've missed because we changed from cable to nowTV, and so many games on very late for us watch. I've just subscribed for $18 a month and although there's only 4 games left I consider it well worth the money!!
