The final preparations for the Rugby World Cup are well and truly underway, and a match between Ireland and Wales should give a good guide as to where two of the top European nations are at. This is The Roar’s guide to live streaming the match online, or watching it on TV.
The match is set to be played at the home of Irish rugby in Dublin, Aviva Stadium, with kick-off scheduled for 11pm (AEST) on Saturday, September 7.
Thanks to the time difference between Australia and Ireland, this actually means kick-off is set down for 2pm on Saturday local time in Dublin.

In Australia, BeIN Sports is exclusively available on TV through Foxtel, meaning you’ll need to have a valid Foxtel TV subscription, complete with the sports package of channels to watch the match.
If you’d prefer to be on the go, but still tune into the match between Ireland and Wales, then there are a couple of methods available to live stream the contest.

Foxtel Now is the better option for those only wanting to stream Foxtel channels, while the app should be used by those already holding a TV subscription to Foxtel.
The other way to live stream BeIN Sports is through BeIN Sports Connect, which is the company’s streaming service and provides access to some other games that are not
