Wales vs. Uruguay: Preview, Live Stream, TV Info for Rugby World Cup 2015 Game

Wales take on Uruguay at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium in their opening Pool A match knowing they must rack up the points and avoid suffering any more injuries. Failure to accomplish either of those tasks will make Wales’ progress out of the fiendishly tough group all the harder. Acknowledging this, coach Waren Gatland commented, as per the BBC: “We know we need to be clinical on Sunday.” Uruguay, on the other hand, need to try to avoid a drubbing. The South Americans will be committed, but they will need to make sure they do not show the kind of indiscipline they exhibited...

Rugby World Cup 2015: Winners and Losers from England vs. Fiji

England’s World Cup is up and running after a 35-11 win over Fiji on opening night. It was far from polished from Stuart Lancaster’s men, as a well-organised Fijian defence stifled much of the hosts’ attacking attempts out wide. Handling errors pock-marked the contest—as well as a spate of video referrals—and England never looked like scoring the fourth try for a bonus point; that finally came with the last act of the evening. Lots to work on back at Pennyhill Park for Lancaster and his coaches, but England have the win. Here are your winners and losers. Begin Slideshow  Read More →

South Africa vs. Japan: Preview, Live Stream, TV Info for Rugby World Cup Game

The search for South Africa’s third World Cup crown kicks off this Saturday, with Heyneke Meyer’s men taking on the threat of Japan at Brighton Community Stadium. The Cherry Blossoms may be seen as an underdog in a Pool B lineup that also contains Scotland, Samoa and the United States, but the Springboks are taking no chances after naming a starting XV that boasts 880 caps between them.
