A umber of matches taking place in New Zealand were covered by German sports channel "Sport 1". The programme is free available in most regions (its bigger HD brother "Sport1+" is pay tv). If you stay in a hotel in Germany or live in a apartment with cable tv Sport 1 should be available. But: semi-finals and the final match is only on the pay able Sport1+ .

The channel is not on DVB-T, so it can not be received via the free terrestrial package.

Rugby is transmitted live between 7:00 and 10:00 CEST  in the European mornings.
